Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Previously untreated and treated adult patients (> or = 18 years old) with a diagnosis of:
  • Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • Lymphoid blast crisis of known chronic myelogenous leukemia NOTE: Patients must have evidence of a t(9;22) in leukemic cells based on chromosomal or molecular analysis.
  • NOTE: The diagnosis must be confirmed by the pathology department at MSKCC. NOTE: It is recognized that newly diagnosed patients may be started on therapy with cytarabine and high-dose mitoxantrone (which is the standard of care at our institution for treating adult ALL) prior to the identification of t(9;22) in leukemic cells. These patients will remain eligible for participation on study and will be evaluable for response if it is possible to start treatment with dasatinib within 30 days of receiving induction chemotherapy.
  • Patients with adequate hepatic function (AST and ALT < or = 2.5 the institutional ULN, bilirubin < or = 2.0 mg/dl).

  • Ability to take oral medication (dasatinib must be swallowed whole).
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (sensitivity > or = 25IU HCG/L) within 72 hours prior to the start of study drug administration. Persons of reproductive potential must agree to use and utilize an adequate method of contraception throughout treatment and for at least 6 months after study drug is stopped. Prior to study enrollment, women of childbearing potential must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during trial participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy.

All other prior therapies will be allowed, including prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors usage. Prior dasatinib use will be allowed (as a single agent or in combination therapy, other than the combination therapy with cytarabine and high-dose mitoxantrone).

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Induction Therapy With Cytarabine, High-Dose Mitoxantrone and Dasatinib for Patients With Philadelphia-Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): ALL-6 Protocol

This research study is for people with a specific type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (the type the patients have). The investigators plan to give you combination of 3 drugs (dasatinib, mitoxantrone, cytarabine) for the first part of the chemotherapy (called Induction). The investigators have previously shown that the combination of mitoxantrone and cytarabine is very effective in your kind of leukemia. The purpose of this study is to establish a safe dose range of dasatinib in combination with this standard induction chemotherapy based on side effects. If possible, the trial will also give us an idea of how well this combination might work in treating your leukemia. Previous studies have shown that dasatinib can produce responses when given alone for your kind of leukemia. By using the dasatinib together with the chemotherapy, the investigators believe that we can kill even more leukemia cells than with either treatment alone. The investigators will initially treat patients with a low dose of dasatinib and monitor for side-effects. If the initial group of patients is able to tolerate this low-dose of dasatinib, then future patients will receive higher doses of dasatinib. Mitoxantrone and cytarabine chemotherapy is the standard therapy at the investigators' institution for the patient's leukemia and it is the combination of dasatinib with this chemotherapy that is new and investigational in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dasatinib, Mitoxantrone, Cytarabine in people with Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 12 inclusion and 19 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 10 Apr 2014. 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?

To determine the dose of dasatinib that can be safely administered with cytarabine, and high-dose mitoxantrone in patients with Ph+ ALL / lymphoid blast crisis of known chronic myelogenous leukemia. (time frame: 5 years). 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 10 Apr 2014.
