About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study Of Cytarabine And High-Dose Mitoxantrone For Relapsed Or Refractory Hematologic Malignancies

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 cytarabine and mitoxantrone in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory leukemia or lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine non-hematologic toxic effects of high-dose cytarabine and high-dose mitoxantrone in patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia or lymphoma.
  • Determine the in vitro T/NK lymphocyte proliferative responses to patient's leukemia/lymphoma cells before and after treatment with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and high-dose mitoxantrone IV over 15-30 minutes on day 5. Patients also receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously beginning on day 14 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients who achieve at least stable disease or a response may receive a second course beginning at least 14 days after the first course is completed.

Patients are followed for 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within approximately 2-3 years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • sargramostimBiological

    Sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously beginning on day 14 and continuing until blood counts recover.

  • cytarabineDrug

    high-dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5

  • mitoxantrone hydrochlorideDrug

    high-dose mitoxantrone IV over 15-30 minutes on day 5.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Event free survival at day 14 (myeloid engraftment)

    Measured: day 14

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of serious infections by clinical, radiologic, microbiology assessment during and after treatment

    Measured: followed for 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sargramostim, cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 11 Jun 2010. 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event free survival at day 14 (myeloid engraftment) (time frame: day 14). 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 11 Jun 2010.
