Acceptable contraceptives include intra-uterine devices (IUDs), hormonal contraceptives (oral, depot, patch, or injectable), and double-barrier methods such as condoms or diaphragms with spermicidal gel or foam.

  • Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or human T lymphotrophic virus 1 (HTLV-1).
  • Patients with active hepatitis B or C infection.
  • Patients with clinical evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia.
  • Active serious infection not controlled by oral or intravenous antibiotics.
  • Patients with a calculated creatinine clearance of <50 mL/min.
  • Prior treatment with any investigational antileukemic or chemotherapy agent within seven days prior to study entry or lack of full recovery from side effects due to prior therapy, independent of when that therapy was given.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Rapidly progressive disease with compromised organ function judged to be life threatening by the Investigator.
  • Concurrent treatment with other antileukemia agents (CNS prophylaxis [e.g., intrathecal methotrexate, cytarabine, or hydrocortisone] and corticosteroid use will not be excluded, but must first be approved by the Medical Monitor) (see Sections 9.2.1 and 9.2.2).
  • Pregnant and/or lactating female.
  • Patients who cannot swallow or who have chronic gastrointestinal disease or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the product.
  • Hypersensitive or intolerant to any component of the study drug formulations.
  • Patients who have received prior forodesine treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Forodesine Hydrochloride Sterile Solution, 5 mg/mLDrug

  • Forodesine Hydrochloride Capsules (100 mg)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the rate of complete remission for T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma relapsed or refractory patients. The complete remission rate will be evaluated over the three-month Initial Treatment Period.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To determine the rate of CR achieved based on prior HSCT status

  2. Assess safety and tolerability

  3. Assess survival end points

  4. Evaluate the maintenance and duration of response

  5. Evaluate the proportion of patients able to proceed to HSCT

  6. Evaluate the effects of this forodesine regimen on plasma levels of dGuo

  7. Determine the effects of this forodesine regimen on clinical end points

  8. Explore potential predictive biomarkers

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Forodesine Hydrochloride Sterile Solution, 5 mg/mL and Forodesine Hydrochloride Capsules (100 mg) in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals at 5 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 10 inclusion and 12 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 23 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Issues with Manufacturing). Results are not available in the source record.

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 determine the rate of complete remission for T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma relapsed or refractory patients. The complete remission rate will be evaluated over the three-month Initial Treatment Period.. 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 23 Jan 2012.
