About this study

Official title: Phase I-II Trial of the Anti CD74 Monoclonal Antibody-Milatuzumab as a Single Agent in Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Milatuzumab is effective in patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and also to find out in which range of doses is a response seen.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine whether the anti-CD74 monoclonal antibody Milatuzumab provides benefit to subjects with CLL in advanced stage or progressive disease. The primary objectives of this study are to assess response rate to the agent, as well as the safety in CLL, using different doses: Overall response (OR), complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) will be determinate according to the NCI criteria.

The secondary objectives are to determine: duration of response, time to progression, overall survival, and the range of doses in which efficacy is seen and MTD not reached.

This study will be done in parallel with other phase I-II studies conducted by Immunomedics.

The study design will take into account that the high levels of circulating CD74expressing cells in CLL may affect both the acute (although probably not long term) toxicity and the efficacy of the study medication. This could translate to a different MTD and a different cumulative dose of Milatuzumab, needed to achieve response.(either a higher dose or longer treatment period.).

The study will be divided into two treatment phases. In the first phase we aim to address whether the dose of 120 mg/m2 is effective in CLL, and also if it is safe. In the second phase we will assess the safety and possible efficacy of higher doses, in those patients that did not achieve a significant response in the first phase. This will be done by gradual dose escalations, not to exceed 600 mg, or the MTD reached in other studies.

In addition, the study will aim at gaining further understanding of the effect of Milatuzumab on the biological in-vitro function of CLL cells.

What participants receive

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

  • MilatuzumabDrug

    Also called hLL1

    Milatuzumab will be given at a starting dose of 120 mg/m2, and then if no response or significant toxicity is seen after a total of 12 weeks, the dose will be gradually increased, by 120 mg/ m2 every four weeks, for a total of another 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to treatment

    Measured: 12 weeks, 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Milatuzumab in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Kaplan Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 11 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2010. 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 Israel. 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 combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Michal Z Haran, MD (972-8-9441-211 ext. 2383, haran@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response to treatment (time frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks). 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 NCT00868478, 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 2 Jun 2010.
