About this study

Official title: A Multicentric Phase II-III Randomized Study Safety of Intraveinous Liposomal Pegylated Doxorubicin Versus Continuous Infusion of Doxorubicin During Induction Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Patients

Phase II multicentric study comparing VAD regimen with continuous infusion over 96 hours of doxorubicin, vincristine and dexamethasone to a 90 minutes infusion of equivalent doses of Dox li-PEG, bolus infusion of vincristine and dexamethasone

Read the detailed description

Patients aged 55 years or over will be assessed for response to steroids from day -7 to day 0 During steroid therapy, Ph status will be determinated : patients with Ph+ ve ALL will be treated according to the another French Protocol while patients with Ph-ve ALL will be included in the "caelyx" protocol and randomly allocated to induction with VAD or with vadox-li-Peg (caelyx).

A second course of induction therapy with VAD+ cyclophosphamide of Vadox-li-peg+ cyclophosphamide(according to the initial randomization arm) will then be given to all patients.

Consolidation therapy included 2 courses of vad or of vadox-li-Peg , according to the initial random allocation, followed by two courses of cytarabine,cyclophosphamide and thioguanine.

During induction and consolidation therapy, doxorubicin and liposomal pegylated doxorubicin pharmacokinetics will be assessed in all patients.

Treatment of occult CNS invasion includes skull radiotherapy and 6 intrathecal injections(steroÏds+methotrexate) A two years maintenance course with 6 mercaptopurine and methotrexate will then be offered to all patients.

Being tested
Doxorubicine, Doxorubicine pegylated

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Doxorubicine and Doxorubicine pegylated in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by French Innovative Leukemia Organisation at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 26 Jun 2008. 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 France. 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 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?

Number of patients alive by day 113 ( last injection of anthracycline ) and having received a full course of induction/consolidation therapy (time frame: 113 days). 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 NCT00600977, 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 26 Jun 2008.
