About this study

Official title: Intravenous Erwinase for Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Allergy to E. Coli Asparaginase (IND 104224)

This is a phase I study using the Erwinia form of asparaginase in place of the E. coli form using a standard re-induction regimen (Vincristine, Dexamethasone, Doxorubicin) for patients with relapsed ALL who have developed an allergy to the E. coli formulation. This study will administer the drug intravenously instead of the usual intramuscular route. The dose of Erwinia will be escalated in the absence of dose limiting toxicity. Patients must have first or second relapse ALL with a history of prior systemic reaction to E. coli asparaginase.

Read the detailed description

Significance

  1. Substitution of Erwinase after E.coli asparaginase allergy has been standard practice despite the paucity of evidence regarding its efficacy and uncertainty about dose. Definition of an appropriate dose and schedule of Erwinase that provides reliable asparagine depletion may be useful for patients with clinical allergy to E. coli asparaginase, both in first remission or after relapse.
  2. Patients in relapse may have a different level of asparagine synthesis than patients maintaining remission and require different asparaginase dosing.5
  3. Intravenous administration provides more rapid and predictable asparagine depletion with less discomfort and danger of bleeding for often thrombocytopenic patients than intramuscular administration.
  4. Vincristine, doxorubicin, asparaginase, and dexamethasone with dexrazoxane is clinically relevant for a population with first marrow relapse.
  5. Vincristine, doxorubicin, asparaginase, and dexamethasone with dexrazoxane is clinically relevant for a population with second marrow relapse, if the duration of CR2 > 18 months year.

    Also called Cytosar-U, Ara-C, Arabinosylcytosine

    Given Intrathecally at the dose defined by age on day 1. 30 mg for age 1-1.99 50 mg for age 2-2.99 70 mg for age 3 and older

  • MethotrexateDrug

    Also called Otrexup, Rasuvo, Rheumatrex, Trexall

  • Triple Intrathecal TherapyDrug

    Methotrexate, Cytarabine and Hydrocortisone given Intrathecally on day 8, 15 and 22 for patients who are CNS 3 at study entry. Doses determined by age.

  • DexrazoxaneDrug

    Also called Zinecard

    Due to the limited availability of Dexrazoxane (Zinecard®), treatment will be at the discretion of the treating physician. Dose should be 600 mg/m2 as a IV push immediately prior to anthracycline dose (the elapsed time from the beginning of the dexrazoxane dose to the end of the anthracycline infusion should be 30 minutes or less).

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of a Dose-Limiting Toxicity

    The MTD in each stratum will be the highest dose at which 1 or fewer of six patients experience DLT during cycle 1 of therapy.

    Measured: Beginning with the first dose of investigational product until 30 days following the last dose of Erwinase

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Response Rate and Minimum Residual Disease

    Disease response evaluated by examination and labs. MRD evaluated from marrow samples.

    Measured: After completion of treatment course

  2. Asparaginase Activity

    Activity levels assessed from PK sampling

    Measured: PK samples to be collected Pre-Tx, and and Erwinase Doses 3, 6 and 9 and Day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Erwinase, Vincristine and Dexamethasone in people with Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Allergy to PEG e.Coli Asparaginase, run by Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia Consortium 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 0 inclusion and 15 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 19 Feb 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Occurrence of a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (time frame: Beginning with the first dose of investigational product until 30 days following the last dose of Erwinase). 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 19 Feb 2019.
