About this study

Official title: A Phase-2 Clinical Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Depocyt (Cytarabine Liposome Injection) for the Treatment of CNS Relapse in Adult Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Very Aggressive Lymphoma

Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or very aggressive lymphoma and documented isolated CNS relapse or CNS relapse combined with other relapse sites should receive therapy with intrathecal DepoCyte at least once. Treatment may be repeated during induction phase each 2 weeks and monthly during maintenance phase. The study aim is to replace the usual 2-3 weekly applications of intrathecal triple therapy with one application of DepoCyte. Primary objective is the response rate after one application of DepoCyte. Further objectives are the compilation of data regarding safety and toxicity

What is being measured

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

  1. response rate after one application of DepoCyte

    Measured: one cycle

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. response rate at later time-points, toxicity (WHO), death in induction and CR, time to neurological progression, frequency of improvement in pre-existing meningeal-disease related neurological symptoms, Karnofsky Performance Status, Survival

    Measured: after each cycle and during follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Depocyt and Dexamethasone in people with Adult Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Goethe University 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 10 inclusion and 3 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 18 Aug 2022. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

response rate after one application of DepoCyte (time frame: one cycle). 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 NCT00199108, 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 18 Aug 2022.
