About this study

Official title: Therapy Targeting the Interleukin-3 Receptor (IL3R) for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory and Elderly or Poor-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome With DTIL3 (IND# 11314): a Phase I/II Clinical Trial

RATIONALE: Combinations of biological substances in DT388IL3 fusion protein may be able to carry cancer killing substances directly to the cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of DT388IL3 fusion protein and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of DT_388IL3 fusion protein in patients with refractory or relapsed or poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
  • Define the dose-limiting toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • Measure the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Measure the immune responses in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Evaluate response and correlate with disease type (relapsed/refractory or poor-risk de novo AML or high-risk MDS), pretreatment marrow blast percentage, and leukemia blast interleukin-3 receptor density.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, multicenter, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II, open-label study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive DT_388IL3 IV over 15 minutes daily for 5 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of DT_388IL3 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Phase II: An additional 15 patients receive DT_388IL3 at the MTD as in phase I. Patients undergo serum and blast collection periodically for laboratory studies, including analysis of expression of interleukin-3 receptors and anti-DT_388IL3 antibodies at baseline. Samples are also analyzed by immunoenzyme assays and flow cytometry.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (CR+PR+SD): Percentage of Participants Experiencing Response

    Patients will be treated with a maximum of five doses of approximately 15min IV infusions of DT388IL3/SL-401 over a ten day period at a maximum of once daily.

    Response to Treatment will be evaluated as follows:

    Complete response (CR): patient has a normal whole blood count; platelets with absent blasts in peripheral blood or marrow; no evidence of nodal involvement or liver/spleen involvement; no skin lesion involvement.

    Partial Response (PR); patient experiences a decrease of 50% or more in marrow blasts and skin lesions; and there is a decrease in the size of the nodes/liver/spleen.

    Stable Disease (SD); failure to achieve at least PR, and there is no evidence of progression for 2 months.

    Failure: death during treatment or disease progression characterized by an increase in the percentage bone marrow blast or an increase in skin or node/liver or spleen size.

    Reported is the percentage of participants experiencing either CR, PR or SD.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing DT388IL3 in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 1 site 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?

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 23 Apr 2019. 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 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 2019). 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?

Overall Response Rate (CR+PR+SD): Percentage of Participants Experiencing Response (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 months). 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 NCT00397579, 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 23 Apr 2019.
