Trial summary

This research study is looking for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), AML that has returned (relapsed), or it has not responded adequately to previous treatments.

About this study

This research study is looking for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), AML that has returned (relapsed), or it has not responded adequately to previous treatments. Treating certain patients with chemotherapy may not be to their benefit or may cause more harm than benefit. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) erlotinib has on patients and their AML.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (Defined as Partial Remission or Better) to 3 Months of Treatment With Erlotinib

    The percent of patients were shown as having a partial remission or better based on definitions of response in AML. Partial remission includes a decrease of at least 50% in the percentage of blasts to 5% to 25% in the bone marrow aspirate. Complete remission includes presence of less than 5% blasts in an aspirate sample with marrow spicules and with a count of at least 200 nucleated cells. The percent and 95% exact confidence intervals will be calculated.

    Measured: 3 months of treatment with erlotinib

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of Response (up to One Year Follow up) in Patients Who Achieve a Complete Remission

    The duration of response is from the time of response until failure or until the end of follow-up for the patients who received complete remission. Complete remission includes presence of less than 5% blasts in an aspirate sample with marrow spicules and with a count of at least 200 nucleated cells.

    Measured: 1 year after treatment discontinuation

  2. Treatment Related Adverse Events Grade 3 or Higher

    Adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. Grading scale will be from 1 (mild) to 5 (causing death). This will determine the number of unique patients who had a treatment related (possible, probable or definite) adverse event that was graded 3 or greater.

    Measured: up to 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib in people with Leukemia, Myelomonocytic, Acute, run by Indiana University 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 13 Oct 2023. 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 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 27 Mar 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?

Overall Response Rate (Defined as Partial Remission or Better) to 3 Months of Treatment With Erlotinib (time frame: 3 months of treatment with erlotinib). 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 13 Oct 2023.
