About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Multi-center Study of Clofarabine (JC0707) in Japanese Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This study is sponsored by Genzyme Japan K.K. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Clofarabine (JC0707) intravenously administered to Japanese adult patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) at 20, 30, and 40 mg/m2/day on a 5-day dose schedule.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-center study of Clofarabine administered to Japanese patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are relapsed/refractory or elderly untreated AML for whom standard induction chemotherapy is unlikely to be of benefit.

Cohort 1 will receive 20 mg/m2/day of Clofarabine once daily for five consecutive days, Cohort 2 will receive 30 mg/m2/day, and Cohort 3 will receive 40 mg/m2/day. Patients will receive one cycle as a rule. However, if there is evidence of some hematologic response after one cycle of treatment with Clofarabine, patients may receive up to a maximum of three cycles. If patients fail to achieve CR or CRp after two cycles of treatment with Clofarabine, further dosing for such patients should be stopped.

Three patients constituting a cohort will receive Clofarabine and will then be assessed for dose limiting toxicities (DLT) at Cycle 1. If none of these three patients develops DLT, the next cohort will be introduced. If one of them develops DLT, three new patients will be added to the cohort, so that six patients in total are included in the tolerability assessment. In this case, treatment of the next cohort is allowed only in the case the number of patients who develop DLT is still one in this six-patient cohort. If two of the six patients develop DLT, however, the tolerability is ruled out. However, if two DLTs are observed at the 20mg/m2/day dose cohort, new patients will be enrolled at cohort -1 15mg/m2/day; and if no more than one of six patients in the cohort develop DLT, it will be considered as the last cohort for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing clofarabine in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 6 sites in Japan.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 19 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Japan. 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) as determined by Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 28 days (1st cycle)). The study lists 13 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 19 Mar 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
