About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Cladribine, High-dose Cytarabine and Idarubicin in Patients With Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of cladribine, high-dose cytarabine and idarubicin in the treatment of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

Considerable progress has been made in the induction therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, current therapeutic results are still unsatisfactory in those with relapsed disease. The purine nucleoside analogue cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, 2-CdA) has been shown to be a safe and active agent in acute myeloid leukemia. Synergistic interaction between cladribine and cytarabine has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies.

The current multicenter phase II study was initiated to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of cladribine, high-dose cytarabine, and idarubicin in the treatment of patients with relapsed AML. Adult patients of all age groups can be enrolled in the trial, but elderly patients will be treated with a less dose-intensive regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity according to National Cancer Institute/Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI/CTC), especially the rate of severe infections and the death rate

    Measured: continuous

  2. Rate of complete remission

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Remission duration

  2. Overall survival

  3. Influence of cytogenetic aberrations on remission rate, duration of remission and overall survival

  4. Course of CD3/CD4+ subpopulation after therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cladribine in people with Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute, run by University Hospital, Bonn at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Axel Glasmacher, MD (+49-228-287-15507, glasmacher@uni-bonn.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Toxicity according to National Cancer Institute/Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI/CTC), especially the rate of severe infections and the death rate (time frame: continuous). The study lists 2 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 2 Feb 2010.
