About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of STI571 in Ph+ Leukemia

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and may be an effective treatment for leukemia.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have recurrent leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of imatinib mesylate in patients with recurrent Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.
  • Characterize the pharmacokinetic behavior of this drug in this patient population.
  • Determine preliminarily the antileukemic activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate (STI571) once daily for 28 days. Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of STI571 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 4 years and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 32 patients will be accrued for this study within 3.5 years.

    Measured: Length of study

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Dose-limiting toxicities

    To determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of STI571 given on this schedule.

    Measured: Length of study

  2. Characterize the pharmacokinetic behavior

    To characterize the pharmacokinetic behavior of STI571 in children with recurrent Ph+ leukemia.

    Measured: Length of study

  3. Define the anti-leukemic activity of STI571

    To preliminarily define the anti-leukemic activity of STI571 within the confines of a Phase I study.

    Measured: Length of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing imatinib mesylate in people with Leukemia, run by Children's Oncology Group at 235 sites in 7 countries.

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 21 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 235 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Puerto Rico and 2 more countries. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: Length of study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00004932, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Feb 2014.
