About this study
Official title: A Phase I Trial of Temsirolimus (CCI-779, Pfizer, Inc.) in Combination With Etoposide and Cyclophosphamide in Children With Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
This is a phase I study of temsirolimus (Torisel) combined with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTL).
Read the detailed description
Studies have shown that mTOR inhibitors (MTI) inhibit growth of pre-B and T-cell ALL cell lines in vitro and in ALL xenograft models. The MTI temsirolimus was chosen for use in this study due to its weekly intravenous dosing, its more predictable blood levels, and availability of a single-agent pediatric MTD and its sustained biologic effect due to conversion to sirolimus. This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of temsirolimus that can given in combination with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in relapsed ALL, LL or PTL. A standard 3-patient cohort dose-escalation design will be used. Response to treatment will be evaluated. Biology tests will be done to evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD), temsirolimus' effect on glucocorticoid resistance, and mTOR inhibition.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Patients That Experienced DLT During Cycle 1 of Therapy
The incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be measured. The maximum tolerated dose will be the highest study dose at which 1 or fewer of six patients experience DLT during cycle 1 of therapy. All these analyses will be descriptive and exploratory and hypotheses generating in nature.
Measured: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)
Secondary outcomes (2)
Response Rate at the Completion of 1 Cycle of Study Treatment
CR = Complete remission defined as attainment of bone marrow with <5% blasts with no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease and with recovery of peripheral counts (absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) > or = to 500/uL and platelet count > or = to 50,000 microliters) CRi = Complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery defined as attainment of bone marrow with >5% blasts with no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease but insufficient recovery of ANC < 500/uL or platelets < 50,000 microliters PR = partial remission defined as complete disappearance of circulating blasts and achievement of 5-25% blasts if greater than 25% blasts originally without new sites of extramedullary disease and with recovery of ANC.
SD = stable disease defined as not satisfying criteria for PD, or has recovery of ANC > or = to 500/uL and fails to qualify for CR, CRi, or PR PD = progressive disease defined as an increase of at least 25% in bone marrow leukemic cells
Measured: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)
Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) Levels Present at End of Cycle 1 Therapy in Patients
MRD positive is defined as > or = to 0.1% MRD MRD negative is define as < 0.1% MRD
All these analyses will be descriptive and exploratory and hypotheses generating in nature.
Measured: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)

Primary outcome
Number of Patients That Experienced DLT During Cycle 1 of Therapy
Time frame: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)
The incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be measured. The maximum tolerated dose will be the highest study dose at which 1 or fewer of six patients experience DLT during cycle 1 of therapy. All these analyses will be descriptive and exploratory and hypotheses generating in nature.
2 secondary outcomes
Response Rate at the Completion of 1 Cycle of Study Treatment
Time frame: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)
Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) Levels Present at End of Cycle 1 Therapy in Patients
Time frame: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Temsirolimus, Etoposide and Cyclophosphamide in people with Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Acute, Childhood and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, run by Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia Consortium at 32 sites in 3 countries.
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 48 inclusion and 19 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 27 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 32 sites in United States, Australia, Canada. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jul 2023). 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?
Number of Patients That Experienced DLT During Cycle 1 of Therapy (time frame: Cycle 1 (a minimum of 4 weeks and a max of 8 weeks)). 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 27 Jul 2023.
