About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial Evaluating the Safety and the Efficacy of Trastuzumab in Relapsed/Refractory HER2 Positive B-acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients.

This is a multicenter open-label phase II trial of trastuzumab in patients with HER2 positive B-ALL in relapse, or with refractory disease. Herceptin is administered as a 4 mg/kg intravenous loading dose followed by 2 mg/kg weekly for at least 2 months and/or till progression. Response and HER2 expression are assessed each month by bone marrow aspirate.

Being tested
Herceptin (trastuzumab)

What participants receive

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

  • Herceptin (trastuzumab)Drug

    Administered as a 4 mg/kg intravenous loading dose followed by 2 mg/kg weekly for at least 2 months and/or until progression

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate: Response was defined either as complete response (CR), CR without recovery of platelet (CRp), or partial response (PR)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Trastuzumab efficiency concerning transfusional needs

  2. Overall survival

  3. Leukemia free survival

  4. cytogenetic response rate

  5. Trastuzumab tolerance profile

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Herceptin (trastuzumab) in people with Relapsed/Refractory Leukemia, run by Nantes University Hospital at 8 sites 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 7 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficulties of recruitment). 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?

Response rate: Response was defined either as complete response (CR), CR without recovery of platelet (CRp), or partial response (PR). 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 NCT00724360, 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 7 Oct 2013.
