About this study

Official title: A Phase II Proof-of-Concept Trial to Study Kinase Inhibition in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Leukemias: Using a Comprehensive In Vitro Kinase Inhibitor Panel to Select Individualized, Targeted Therapies

This phase II trial studies how well targeted therapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Testing patients' blood or bone marrow to find out if their type of cancer may be sensitive to a specific drug may help doctors choose more effective treatments. Dasatinib, sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, ponatinib hydrochloride, pacritinib, ruxolitinib, and idelalisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving targeted therapy based on cancer type may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the clinical activity of kinase inhibitors using pre-clinical (in-vitro) activity to select individual therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate overall objective response rates (complete response plus partial response).

II. Determine overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).

EXPLORATORY/CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

  1. Prioritize active/aberrant kinase pathways using an in vitro inhibitor screen using individual primary leukemia samples.

II. Measure "on target" in vivo kinase inhibition and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-5 phosphorylation and correlate with response to treatment.

III. Perform next generation sequencing (whole exome sequencing) for complete mutational analysis.

IV. Identify aberrant gene expression in primary leukemia samples from study subjects.

  1. Evaluate pharmacokinetics for each individual kinase inhibitor during therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 7 treatment groups based on pre-clinical kinase inhibitor activity.

GROUP I: Patients receive dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP II: Patients receive sutinib malate PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP III: Patients receive sorafenib tosylate PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP IV: Patients receive ponatinib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP V: Patients receive pacritinib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP VI: Patients receive ruxolitinib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP VII: Patients receive idelalisib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Antitumor Drug Screening Assay, Dasatinib and Idelalisib in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Arising From Previous Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute 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 40 inclusion and 48 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2021. 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 4 Oct 2021). 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?

Clinical Activity (time frame: Up to 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01620216.

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 4 Nov 2021.
