Trial summary

Patients with relapse of acute leukemia often only receive supportive therapy. Our hypothesis is that a combination therapy can stabilize the disease for patients with early relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Relapsed Acute Leukemia After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Disease Stabilization Through Chemotherapy, Immunomodulatory Treatment and Immunotherapy

Patients with relapse of acute leukemia often only receive supportive therapy. Our hypothesis is that a combination therapy can stabilize the disease for patients with early relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The investigators will combine 5-azacitidine 100 mg daily subcutaneously (days 1-3), valproic acid (continuous therapy from day 1), All-trans retinoic acid (days 1-14) and hydroxurea (continuous treatment from day 15 of first cycle. Azacitidine and ATRA can be repeated with 5 weeks intervals, donor leukocyte infusions on day 10 is allowed from the second cycle.

Being tested
Combined use of azacitidine, valproic acid, hydroxurea and eventually donor leukocyte infusions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Combined use of azacitidine, valproic acid, hydroxurea and eventually donor leukocyte infusions.Drug

    Also called Give as repeated cycles with 5 weeks intervals. Donor leukocyte infusions are allowed from cycle 2.

    Azacitidine 100 mg day 1-3 in each cycle Valproic acid, continuous therapy from day 1 All-trans retinoic acid 22.5 mg/m2 twice daily day 1-14 in each cycle Hydroxurea 500 mg initially eventually increased to 1 g daily. Eventually donor leukocyte infusions on day 10 from the second cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Combined use of azacitidine, valproic acid, hydroxurea and eventually donor leukocyte infusions. in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Bergen at 1 site in Norway.

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 4 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 24 Jun 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 Norway. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Oystein Bruserud, MD (0047 55975000, oystein.bruserud@haukeland.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease stabilization (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 24 Jun 2015.
