About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Of Bryostatin 1 (NSC 339555) And High-Dose 1-B-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (HiDAC) In Patients With Refractory 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 II trial to study the effectiveness of combining bryostatin 1 with cytarabine in treating patients who have relapsed primary acute myelogenous leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with primary acute myelogenous leukemia in first relapse treated with bryostatin 1 and high-dose cytarabine.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the relapse-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Induction: Patients receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 11. Patients also receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours for 4 infusions on days 2-3 and days 9-10.

Patients who achieve a major response receive a second course of induction therapy.

  • Consolidation: Patients who achieve complete remission receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 10 and high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours for 2 infusions on days 2 and 9. Treatment continues for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients who achieve a response and subsequently relapse may receive additional induction and consolidation therapy at the discretion of the investigator.

Patients are followed every 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-46 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bryostatin 1 and cytarabine in people with Leukemia, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 4 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 1 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?
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 1 Mar 2010.
