Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, French-American-British [FAB] classification M3 or WHO classification of APL with t (15;17)(q22;q12), (PML/retinoic acid receptor alpha [RARa] and variants).
  • Prior treatment with omacetaxine.
  • Relapsed or refractory AML.
  • Investigational agent received within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug. If received any investigational agent prior to this time point, drug-related toxicities must have recovered to Grade 2 or less prior to first dose of study drug.

  • Any other severe concurrent disease, or have a history of serious organ dysfunction or disease involving the heart, kidney, liver, or other organ system that may place the patient at undue risk to undergo the proposed therapy. This includes uncontrolled hypertension and uncontrolled diabetes, as cases of life threatening hyperglycemia have been reported (using continuous infusion at higher doses of omacetaxine).
  • Active carcinoma requiring systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

About this study

Official title: Omacetaxine for Consolidation and Maintenance in Patients Age ≥ 55 With AML in First Remission: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the safety and tolerability of omacetaxine for consolidation in patients age 55 and older with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first complete remission following induction with cytarabine and an anthracycline, and also to assess the safety and tolerability of omacetaxine for maintenance in patients age 55 and older with acute AML in first complete remission following 3 consolidation courses with omacetaxine.

Being tested
Omacetaxine
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute

What participants receive

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

  • OmacetaxineDrug

    Also called Synribo

    Omacetaxine 1.25 mg/m² sub-cutaneously twice daily for 5 consecutive days every 28 (± 8) days for 3 cycles.

    Patients in continuous remission after 3 cycles of consolidation will receive maintenance omacetaxine 1.25 mg/m² twice daily for 3 days, every 28 days for up to 6 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Status Assessment Prior to Each Consolidation Cycle

    Disease status will be assessed by a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy prior to each of 3 consolidation cycles (to ensure that patients are still in remission).

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Assessment of Disease Status

    Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate will be obtained.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Bone Marrow Aspirate to Confirm Continuous Remission

    Bone marrow aspirate to confirm continuous remission will be obtained before starting maintenance and at 3 and 6 months from the start of maintenance.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Maintenance Toxicities

    Toxicities will be monitored by history, physical examination, and laboratory monitoring during maintenance.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Consolidation Toxicities

    Toxicities will be monitored by history, physical examination, and laboratory monitoring (CBC, serum chemistries to include renal and liver function tests) obtained weekly during consolidation and monthly during maintenance according to standard of care (Appendices C and D). Toxicity will be assessed according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria Version 4.0 (available at the NCI web site http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/ctc.html).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Omacetaxine in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), run by Emory 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 13 inclusion and 8 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 24 Sep 2019. 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 24 Sep 2019). 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?

Disease Status Assessment Prior to Each Consolidation Cycle (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 Sep 2019.
