About this study

Official title: Compound 506U78 (NSC 686673) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory T-Cell ALL or T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of 506U78 in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Provide an investigational agent, 506U78, to physicians for the management of individual patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic (lymphocytic) leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma who are not candidates for entry onto ongoing research clinical trials of higher priority.
  • Evaluate the toxic effects of 506U78 when administered as a 2 hour IV infusion 3 days a week every 21 days in these patients.
  • Evaluate the antitumor efficacy of this regimen in terms of rate of complete responses in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive 506U78 over 2 hours on days 1, 3, and 5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Patients are followed every 3 months for one year and then every 6 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nelarabine in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 7 sites 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 20 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Provide an investigational agent to physicians for patients who are not candidates for entry onto ongoing research clinical trials of higher priority. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Jun 2013.
