About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Azacitidine Plus Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Determine toxicity and remission rates of treatment with azacitidine and lenalidomide for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Read the detailed description

Primary:

Phase 1:

To determine the toxicity and feasibility of combining lenalidomide and azacitidine in patients with relapsed/ refractory AML ≥ 18 years or untreated AML ≥60 years.

Phase 2:

To assess the complete remission (CRm plus CRi) rate after lenalidomide + azacitidine therapy in untreated AML ≥60 years.

Secondary:

  1. To assess the response rate (RR), morphologic leukemia-free state, morphologic complete remission rate (CRm), cytogenetic CR (CRc) rate, CR with incomplete blood counts 14 rate, and partial remission 15 rate (PR).
  2. To assess overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS).
  3. To assess time to progression (TTP) in untreated AML ≥60 years.
  4. To assess relapse free survival (RFS) and duration of CR for complete responders.
  5. To determine the incidence and severity of other toxicities of lenalidomide in combination with azacitidine.
  6. Assay the expression levels of cytokines/chemokines in the bone marrow plasma, expression of chemokine receptors/ligands on leukemic blasts important for the AML microenvironment and study the direct cytotoxic effects of lenalidomide, azacitidine and combination of both drugs on cryopreserved AML blast cells.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I Only - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) as Measured by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    • The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first cycle.
    • Hematologic DLT is as a persistent bone marrow aplasia with ≤ 10 % cellularity, which persists for > 60 days from the start of a chemotherapy cycle.
    • Non-hematologic DLT is defined as any Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity that occurs during the first cycle with the specific exceptions of nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, infections or electrolyte abnormalities attributable to any other cause. Grade 3 triglycerides will be considered a DLT only for patients who have Grade 3 in spite of appropriate lipid lowering drug therapy.

    Measured: Completion of the phase I portion of study (approximately 1 year and 4 months)

  2. Phase I Only - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    • The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first cycle.
    • Hematologic DLT is as a persistent bone marrow aplasia with ≤ 10 % cellularity, which persists for > 60 days from the start of a chemotherapy cycle.
    • Non-hematologic DLT is defined as any Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity that occurs during the first cycle with the specific exceptions of nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, infections or electrolyte abnormalities attributable to any other cause. Grade 3 triglycerides will be considered a DLT only for patients who have Grade 3 in spite of appropriate lipid lowering drug therapy.

    Measured: Completion of the phase I portion of study (approximately 1 year and 4 months)

  3. Phase II Only - Complete Remission Rate (CRm + CRi) in Participants With Untreated AML ≥60 Years of Age

    • Morphologic complete remission (CRm): Defined as morphologic leukemia-free state, including <5% blasts in BM aspirate with marrow spicules and a count of > 200 nucleated cells and no blasts with Auer rods, no persistent extramedullary disease, ANC > 1000/uL, platelet count > 100,000/uL. Patient must be independent of transfusions for a minimum of 1 week before each marrow assessment.
    • Morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi): Defined as CR with the exception of neutropenia <1000/uL or thrombocytopenia <100,000/ul.

    Measured: Completion of treatment (median follow-up was 8 weeks) (range 4-68 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Response Rate (CRm + CRc + CRi + PR)

    • Response rate (CRm + CRc + CRi + PR)
    • CRm = morphologic complete remission
    • CRc = cytogenetic complete remission
    • CRi = morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery
    • PR = partial remission

    Measured: Median number of cycles completed [3 cycles (12 weeks) full range (1 (4 weeks)-17 (68 weeks))]

Patient must be independent of transfusions for a minimum of 1 week before each marrow assessment. There is no duration requirement for this designation.

    Measured: Completion of treatment (median follow-up was 8 weeks) (range 4-68 weeks)

  4. Cytogenetic CR (CRc) Rate

    Only patients with an identified cytogenetic abnormality may receive this designation. Defines as a morphologic complete remission plus reversion to a normal karyotype (no clonal abnormalities detected in a minimum of 20 mitotic cells).

    Measured: Completion of treatment (median follow-up was 8 weeks) (range 4-68 weeks)

  5. CR With Incomplete Blood Counts Rate

  6. Partial Remission Rate (PR)

    Requires that the criteria for complete remission be met with the following exceptions: decrease of >50% in the percentage of blasts to 5-25% in the BM aspirate. A value of < 5% blasts in BM with Auer rods is also considered a partial remission.

    Measured: Completion of treatment (median follow-up was 8 weeks) (range 4-68 weeks)

  7. Overall Survival

    Defined as the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death from any cause.

    Defined as the interval from the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of progressive disease.

    Measured: Until progressive disease - median follow-up 4.6 months (full range (0.3-31.4 months))

  10. Relapse Free Survival (RFS)

    This is determined only for patients achieving a complete remission. Defined as the interval from the date of first documentation of a leukemia free state to date of recurrence or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Until death - median follow-up 4.6 months (full range (0.3-31.4 months))

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Lenalidomide and Azacitidine in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Washington University School of 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 16 inclusion and 12 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 7 Sep 2015. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Sep 2015). 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?

Phase I Only - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) as Measured by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Completion of the phase I portion of study (approximately 1 year and 4 months)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Sep 2015.
