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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis Patients must have a clinical diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) morphology or FAB M3 variant confirmed by RT-PCR assay for PML-RARα or chromosome analysis/FISH showing t(15:17) translocation. A patient may be entered prior to confirmatory studies, but a patient who is subsequently found to be PML-RARα negative will be removed from protocol treatment.
  • Prior Treatment The patient must not have received any systemic definitive treatment for APL, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, retinoids or arsenic trioxide. Prior therapy with corticosteroids, hydroxyurea or leukapheresis will not exclude the patient.
  • Age: Patients must be of age eighteen (18) or above.
  • Other Criteria
  • Patients must have the following laboratory values:
  • Bilirubin equal or less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Creatinine equal or less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Pregnancy / Nursing Status
  • Patients entered into this study should be non-pregnant and non-nursing and should not plan on becoming pregnant while on treatment. Treatment under this protocol would expose an unborn child to significant risks. treatment. Women and men of reproductive potential should agree to use an effective means of birth control. There is an extremely high risk of fetal malformation if pregnancy occurs while on treatment in any amount with retinoid drugs even for short periods.

Who cannot join

  • Non-APL, AML patients should be excluded from the study.
  • Other serious illnesses which would limit survival to 1 year.
  • Psychiatric conditions which would prevent compliance with treatment or informed consent.
  • Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease. This would include history of a recent acute myocardial infarction, uncontrolled congestive heart failure, or active angina.
  • AIDS or HIV positive patients, although HIV test is not required for accrual.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of NRX 195183 Induction and NRX 195183 Combined With Arsenic Trioxide (As2o3) as Initial Consolidation Therapy Followed by Continuous NRX 195183 Maintenance Therapy for Patients With Untreated Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

The safety and efficacy of combining NRX 195183 with arsenic trioxide in treating untreated APL will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this study are in newly diagnosed APL patients:

  • To evaluate the efficacy (complete and molecular response rates) and toxicity of NRX 195183 in induction therapy
  • To evaluate the efficacy (molecular response rates) and toxicity of NRX 195183 in combination with arsenic trioxide (As2O3) in consolidation therapy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy (event free-survival, disease-free survival) and toxicity of NRX 195183 as maintenance therapy for patients with APL who achieve a molecular complete response.
Being tested
NRX 195183 (retinoid analogue), Arsenic Trioxide
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Promyelocytic, Acute

What participants receive

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

  • NRX 195183 (retinoid analogue)Drug

    30mg/m2 PO daily x 3mo.in Induction, then daily with consolidation

  • Arsenic TrioxideDrug

    0.15mg/kg/day over 2hrs VI on day 1-5 x 4 weeks. 2 weeks rest then repeat x 3 more cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is achieving a partial or complete response

    Measured: Bone marrow biopsies will be done monthly during induction

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and feasibility

    Measured: Twice weekly during induction and then weekly during consolidation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NRX 195183 (retinoid analogue) and Arsenic Trioxide in people with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, run by University of Southern California 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2015. 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 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The primary endpoint is achieving a partial or complete response (time frame: Bone marrow biopsies will be done monthly during induction). 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 Oct 2015.
