Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have unequivocal histologic diagnosis of AML according to WHO classification.
  • Patients must have (1) refractory AML, defined as a disease unresponsive to the initial treatment; or (2) relapsed AML, defined as disease that re-occurs after treatment with conventional or high dose chemotherapy, with or without autologous stem cell support.
  • Patients previously treated with antisense oligonucleotides remain eligible in absence of significant or dose-limiting documented toxicities directly attributable to the antisense agents.
  • Age 18-59 years old.
  • Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of GTI-2040 in combination with cytarabine in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric Phase 2 combination trials.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <= 2 (Karnofsky >60%).
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement will be considered eligible for this study if no residual leukemic cells are detectable in the cerebral spinal fluid following intrathecal or radiation therapy.
  • Central line catheter for administration of GTI-2040 infusion is required for all patients enrolled in the study.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Written informed consent is required prior to any study procedures for screening or enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy (with the exception of hydroxyurea) or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier. Patients who have received mitomycin C or nitrosurea require a 6 week recovery period before enrollment.
  • Patients who have had prior allogeneic stem cell transplant.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents as part of ongoing treatment.
  • Patients with the following abnormal clinical values (unless abnormalities in these parameters are directly attributable to malignancy):
  • Resting cardiac ejection fraction < 50%
  • Serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Total bilirubin > 2x upper limits of normal (ULN) (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome)
  • aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3x ULN
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to GTI-2040 or other agents used in the study.
  • Patients who require chronic systemic anticoagulant therapy for medical conditions (e.g., previous history of deep venous thrombosis, atrial fibrillation etc.). Heparin administration to maintain central line patency (i.e. catheter flush) is not an exclusion.
  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring IV antibiotics, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Serious medical or psychiatric illness that would prevent informed consent or limit survival to < 4 weeks.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding women. The potential for teratogenic effects and other risks for GTI-2040 in nursing infants are unknown. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
  • HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Simon Two-stage Multicenter Study and Pilot Pharmacodynamic Investigation of GTI 2040 in Combination With High Dose Cytarabine (HiDAC) in Refractory and Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This is a Phase II trial conducted at multiple centers for evaluation of the pharmacodynamic activity and the overall response rate contributed by the combination agents of GTI-2040 and High Dose Cytarabine (HiDAC) in Refractory and Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

What participants receive

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

  • GTI-2040Biological

    GTI-2040 will be administered one day after HiDAC in the pilot PD study and one day before HiDAC in the Phase II study for a cycle. Those who achieve a complete remission (CR) will be permitted to receive one cycle of consolidation of GTI-2040 and HiDAC

Study groups in NCT00565058
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PilotExperimentalPilot PD Study (Delayed GTI-2040) Group: In the Pilot PD Study Group, addition of GTI-2040 is delayed until 24 hours after initiation of HiDAC.
Receives: Biological: GTI-2040
Phase II armExperimentalPhase II PD Study (Early GTI-2040) Group: In the Phase II PD Study Group, GTI-2040 is given 24 hours prior to addition of HiDAC.
Receives: Biological: GTI-2040

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate of GTI-2040 Combined With HiDAC in Refractory or Relapsed AML

    Overall Response was defined as whether or not the patient achieved complete remission (CR) and CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) while on the study.

    Measured: at 29-35 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Summary of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unintended or undesirable experience that occurred during the course of the clinical investigation, regardless of whether or not it was considered to be study drug-related. This included any newly occurring event or a previous condition that had increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug.

    Measured: 30 days after the last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GTI-2040 in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Aptose Biosciences Inc. at 7 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 9 inclusion and 14 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 27 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jul 2015). 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 of GTI-2040 Combined With HiDAC in Refractory or Relapsed AML (time frame: at 29-35 days). 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 27 Jul 2015.
