About this study

Official title: Multicenter Study of 9-AC in Refractory Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects of 9-Aminocamptothecin (9-AC) and to determine the best dose which should be used to treat leukemia.

Read the detailed description
  • The treatment patients will receive involves a continuous infusion of 9-AC intravenously for a 72 hour period. Since we are unsure of the safest and most effective dose, successive groups of 4-7 patients will receive larger doses of this drug until the largest dose given safely is established.
  • Prior to the start of therapy a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy will be taken for diagnostic and research purposes. A bone marrow exam will be repeated at 48 hours in order to determine the effects of 9-AC on leukemic cells in the bone marrow. A bone marrow scan will also be performed 14 days after the start of therapy to assess response.
  • Frequent blood testing will be done throughout treatment, including blood samples to determine the levels of the 9-AC in the blood.
  • Treatment could be stopped prematurely if any of the following occur: 1) drug causes severe side effects, 2) the drug does not control the leukemia, or 3) the doctors or the patient feel that it is no longer in the patients best interest to receive this therapy.
  • Approximately 7 days after the conclusion of the 9-AC infusion, it is likely that the patient's blood counts will be low and will require support with antibiotics, red cell transfusions and platelet transfusions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 9-Aminocamptothecin (9-AC) in people with Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 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?

The sponsor lists 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

To evaluate the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of 9-AC administered as a 72 hour infusion in patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia. (time frame: Years). 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 10 Mar 2011.
