Trial summary

Acute leukemias are commonly seen in elderly and have no effective therapy. In recent years, small molecule inhibitors have shown a tremendous promise in cancer treatment such as chronic myeloid leukemia and lung cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Acute leukemias are commonly seen in elderly and have no effective therapy. In recent years, small molecule inhibitors have shown a tremendous promise in cancer treatment such as chronic myeloid leukemia and lung cancer. Thus, in this proposal, we intend to use our novel patented "indole" compound to conjugated with hydroxamic acid in histone deacetylases inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and further modify its structure to generate novel small-molecule anticancer compounds. By screening acute leukemic cell lines, we will look for compounds that have shown potential for future drug development. In our preliminary studies, we have identified a novel compound, MPT0E001, to have marked growth inhibitory activity, induce apoptosis and downregulate c-Myc protein level. We intend to use MPT0E001 as a basis to develop novel compounds and test them in multiple leukemic cell lines and primary leukemia samples (Specific aim 1) and identify the mechanisms for downregulation of c-Myc and other pathways such as NF-kappaB and Akt (Specific aim 2). Once we have identified the lead compounds, we will use murine model to assess the acute toxicity profiles in different dose ranges and examine the effects of blood counts and vital organs. After toxicity study, we will test the lead compounds using in vivo xenogenic murine model using both cell lines and primary leukemia. Using this approach, we hope to develop novel compounds that are able to be used in future leukemic therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Taipei Medical University WanFang Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 11 Jun 2010.
