About this study

Official title: Phase I Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Study of KW-2449 in Acute Leukemias (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)

Non-randomized, open, dose ranging and dose scheduling study of ascending doses of KW-2449 in subjects with AML, ALL, MDS and CML.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I open-label dose escalation study of KW-2449 in subjects with acute leukemias, high risk MDS, and CML who are not candidates for approved therapy. Over an 18-month period, the investigative sites collectively will enroll up to a total of 96 subjects. Subjects will be enrolled sequentially into 1 of 7 dose groups to evaluate 2 dosing schedules (Arm A = 14 consecutive days of dosing followed by a 7-28 day rest period as determined by recovery from any acute hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities, or Arm B = 28 consecutive days of dosing followed by a 7-28 day rest period, as determined by recovery from any acute hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities). The safety of a dose level in Arm A (14-day dosing regimen) will be established prior to enrollment of subjects in the same dose level in Arm B (28-day dosing regimen).

In April 2007 the protocol was amended to discontinue Arm B (28 consecutive days of dosing). The protocol will continue as planned for Arm A (14 days of consecutive dosing).

Enrollment will proceed until a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been established for each study Arm. Once the MTD has been reached, 12 additional subjects, with 1 or more of the hematologic conditions included in this study, may be enrolled at the MTD as an expanded safety cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of KW-2449 - Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (TEAEs) as Assessed by NCI-CTCAE v3.0

    In addition to the number of TEAEs, the number of serious TEAEs, the number of related TEAEs, the number of Grade 3-4 TEAEs, and the number of subjects who died or discontinued due to TEAEs were also assessed. The maximally tolerated dose (MTD) was also to be determined, but it was not actually reached in either arm.

    Measured: Baseline up to Cycle 2, Day 1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Observed Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Days 1 and 14 (and Day 28 for Arm B) of Cycle 1

  2. Time to Peak Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Days 1 and 14 (and Day 28 for Arm B) of Cycle 1

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Tau (AUC (0-tau, Tau is the Dosing Interval))

    Measured: Days 1 and 14 (and Day 28 for Arm B) of Cycle 1

  4. Terminal Half Life (t 1/2)

    Measured: Days 1 and 14 (and Day 28 for Arm B) of Cycle 1

  5. Accumulation Ratio (AUC 0-tau Day 14 or 28 / AUC 0-tau Day 1)

    Measured: Day 1 and either Day 14 or Day 28 of Cycle 1

  6. Disease Response

    Disease response (i.e., complete or partial remission) based on standard criteria:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KW-2449 in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Kyowa Kirin, Inc. at 4 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 11 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety of KW-2449 - Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (TEAEs) as Assessed by NCI-CTCAE v3.0 (time frame: Baseline up to Cycle 2, Day 1). 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 NCT00346632, 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 17 May 2024.
