About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of XL119 In Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, Or Chronic Myeloid Leukemia In Blastic-Phase

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of rebeccamycin analog in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast phase. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as rebeccamycin analog, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of rebeccamycin analogue (XL119) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic phase.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue (XL119) IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 1 additional course beyond CR. Patients achieving a partial response (PR) or hematologic improvement (HI) receive 2 additional courses beyond PR or HI. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of XL119 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of becatecarin

    Graded using the NCI CTCAE version 3.0.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Survival

    Measured: From date of first study drug administration to the date of death of the patients, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Time to progression

    Measured: From the date of first study drug administration to the date that the patient is withdrawn because of clinical or radiographic progressive disease, or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  3. Time to treatment failure

    Measured: From the date of first study drug administration to the date of withdrawal from the study for any reason other than study closure, assessed up to 3 years

  4. Duration of response

    Measured: From the date of first objective response to the date of progression, assessed up to 3 years

  5. Time to response

    Measured: From the date of first study drug administration until the first objective documentation of response, assessed up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing becatecarin and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia With 11q23 (MLL) Abnormalities and Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Inv(16)(p13;q22), run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 40 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 23 Jan 2013. 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of becatecarin (time frame: 21 days). 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 NCT00087204.

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 23 Jan 2013.
