Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Combining chemotherapy with imatinib mesylate may kill more cancer cells.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study To Determine The Safety, Tolerability, And Anti-Leukemic Effects of Trisenox (Arsenic Trioxide) In Combination With Gleevec (STI571) In Patients With Resistant Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia In Chronic Phase

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Combining chemotherapy with imatinib mesylate may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining arsenic trioxide with imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and tolerability of arsenic trioxide and imatinib mesylate in patients with resistant chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
  • Determine potential dose-limiting toxic effects in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily and arsenic trioxide IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-5 of week 1 and then twice weekly. Treatment continues for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-24 patients (at least 6 patients for phase I and at least 12 patients for phase II) will be accrued for this study .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing arsenic trioxide and imatinib mesylate in people with Leukemia, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 3 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 28 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 combined 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.

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?

Satey and Tolerability. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 May 2012.
