About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of 8-Chloro-Adenosine in Previously Treated Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia /Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of the drug 8-chloro-adenosine that can be given in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Another goal is to learn how effective the drug is at treating leukemia.

Read the detailed description

8-Chloro-adenosine is a new drug similar to other drugs already approved by the FDA for the treatment of CLL and other types of cancer. 8-Chloro-adenosine belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called purine analogues that work to treat cancer by their ability to interfere with cancer cell metabolism, causing cell death.

If you are eligible, you will receive 8-chloro-adenosine as an infusion into a vein once a day for five days in a row. Each infusion will take about 1 hour. This 5-day treatment will be repeated every 4 weeks (± 3 days) (1 course).

This is a dose escalation study. Patients treated on this study will be treated in groups of 3. The first group will receive the lowest dose of the drug. If the type, number, and severity of any side effects experienced are acceptable, the next group of 3 patients will receive the next higher dose of drug. The dose of drug will be increased for each new group until the highest safe dose is found.

For your first course only, you will have blood tests (about 1 tablespoon) on Day 3 and Day 5 of treatment to monitor for safety. After that, you will have weekly (± 3 days) evaluations and routine blood tests (about 1 tablespoon) in the clinic at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (UTMDACC). During these evaluations, you will also have a physical exam and be asked about any side effects you may have experienced. You will be evaluated for improvement in your CLL. If your disease is stable or responding to treatment, you may continue with treatment. If your disease improves to the point that your doctor feels that you are in complete remission, he or she will request you to have a bone marrow biopsy to confirm complete remission.

If your disease is worsening and it appears that the treatment is not helping you, then you will stop treatment with 8-chloro-adenosine and may begin other treatment at the direction of your treating doctor. If you have unacceptable side effects, you may be taken off treatment.

If you stop treatment, you will be evaluated in the clinic and have routine blood tests (about 1 tablespoon) once a week for the first month, twice a month for the next 2 months, then once a month from then on. During these evaluations, you will have a physical exam and be asked about any side effects you may have experienced. If you begin other treatment, your scheduled follow-up will end.

This is an investigational study. 8-Chloro-adenosine is not approved by the FDA and is not commercially available. A total of up to 28 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled and treated at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting Toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose

    During first course of treatment blood tests on Days 3 and 5; then weekly (± 3 days) evaluations and routine blood tests. Toxicity evaluation completed four weeks following initial 8-Chloro-adenosine administration.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 8-Chloro-Adenosine in people with Leukemia and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 3 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 13 Oct 2016. 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 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.

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?

Dose-limiting Toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 13 Oct 2016.
