What participants receive

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

  • Rapamycin, Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, CytarabineDrug

    Rapamycin loading dose of 12 mg followed by a single daily dose for 8 days of 4 mg/day + MEC (Mitoxantrone 8 mg/m2/day IV, Etoposide 100 mg/m2/day IV and Cytarabine 1000 mg/m2 IV every 24 hours for 5 days. Starts after 4th dose of sirolimus.

  • Rapamycin + MECDrug

    Rapamycin loading dose of 12 mg followed by a single daily dose for 8 days of 4 mg/day + MEC (Mitoxantrone 8 mg/m2/day IV, Etoposide 100 mg/m2/day IV and Cytarabine 1000 mg/m2 IV every 24 hours for 5 days. Starts after 4th dose of sirolimus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rapamycin, Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, Cytarabine and Rapamycin + MEC in people with Myeloid Leukemias and AML, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 6 inclusion and 11 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 12 Jul 2019. 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?

Assessment of biologic effects of rapamycin on mTOR targets such as p70 protein phosphorylation in leukemic cells (time frame: Study conclusion). 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 12 Jul 2019.
