About this study

Official title: PEG-asparaginase During Two Treatment Courses in the Treatment of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The purpose of this study is

  1. to determine the correct dose for intramuscular administration
  2. to compare the frequency of antibody formation after intramuscular administration of native E.coli asparaginase and PEG-asparaginase during two treatment courses in the treatment of childhood lymphoblastic leukemia
Read the detailed description

Asparaginase is used in the treatment of childhood lymphoblastic leukemia. Approximately 1/3 of the patients develops blocking antibodies against native E.coli asparaginase during the second exposure, so that they do not benefit from treatment and thus may have a worse prognosis.

PEG-asparaginase is less immunogenic so that fewer patients may develop antibodies during the second exposure.

There is no published study about the antibody formation after treatment of children with PEG-asparaginase during two treatment courses.

The first part of the study is a description of the pharmacokinetics of PEG-asparaginase after intramuscular administration in order to determine the correct dose.

The second part of the study is a comparison of antibody formation during two treatment courses after intramuscular administration og native E.coli asparaginase and PEG-asparaginase.

Other side effects than antibodies will be registered during treatment with PEG-asparaginase. Finally comparison of the 5-year EFS between the groups (native E.coli asparaginase and PEG-asparaginase as well as patients who have and have not developed antibodies) will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PEG-asparaginase in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Nordic Society for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 30 Sep 2009. 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 Denmark. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Birgitte K Albertsen, M.D., PhD (+45 89495566 ext. 6732, bka@farm.au.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of the dose that secures sufficient treatment during 14 days. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00192673, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Sep 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
