About this study

Official title: PHASE I STUDY OF CONTINUOUS INFUSION CARBOPLATIN AND TOPOTECAN IN THE TREATMENT OF RELAPSED ACUTE LEUKEMIA AND BLAST CRISIS CHRONIC MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and topotecan in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or recurrent acute leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of carboplatin plus topotecan given as a 5-day continuous infusion in patients with recurrent acute lymphocytic or myeloid leukemia or accelerated or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
  • Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Gather preliminary information on the activity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Examine the pharmacokinetics of topotecan when administered concurrently with carboplatin.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of topotecan. Patients are stratified according to prior bone marrow transplant (BMT) (yes vs no).

  • Induction: Patients receive carboplatin and topotecan IV 3 times a day on days 1-5. Patients may also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) beginning on day 7 or 14. Retreatment is based on results of marrow exam on day 10-14. Patients with less than 5% blasts undergo a second marrow exam upon blood count recovery or on day 26-30, whichever is earlier. Patients with at least 5% blasts after day 21 receive one more course, in the absence of unacceptable toxicity and at the discretion of the investigator. Patients with no greater than 5% blasts begin G-CSF if blood counts are not recovered, then proceed to consolidation.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of up to 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients with prior BMT will not be entered at any level until 3-6 patients with no prior BMT tolerate that level.

  • Consolidation (begins around day 42 of last Induction course): Patients with ALL/AML in complete remission (CR) or CML in chronic phase receive 2 additional courses (same doses) 6-8 weeks apart.

Patients experiencing a relapse after CR lasting at least 6 months may receive additional treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-20 patients without and 2-20 patients with prior bone marrow transfer will be accrued for this study over 2-2.5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, carboplatin and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Leukemia and Neutropenia, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002693, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2011.
