A patient is of childbearing potential if, in the opinion of the investigator, he/she is biologically capable of having children and is sexually active. Female patients who are not of childbearing potential should meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia, as defined by unequivocal morphologic evidence of lymphoblasts in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), use of CNS-directed local treatment for active disease within the prior 28 days, symptomatic CNS leukemia (i.e., cranial nerve palsies or other significant neurologic dysfunction) within 28 days. Prophylactic intrathecal medication is not a reason for exclusion.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study to Determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Erwinia Chrysanthemi Asparaginase in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Aged 60 Years or Older

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of Erwinia Chrysanthemi asparaginase when used alone and together with chemotherapy and find out what effects, if any, it has on people.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of three treatment phases.

  1. Steroid prophase (days -3 to -1): To prevent rapid leukemia progression and reduce tumor load, patients will receive either prednisone 60mg/m2 oral daily or equivalent corticosteroid daily for 3 days.
  2. Asparaginase phase (days 1 - 14): Patients will receive Erwinia asparaginase 25,000 IU/m2 IV three times a week on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday (MWF) schedule for 2 weeks. Patients are permitted to begin Erwinia asparaginase on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, so that their schedules are defined as MWF, WFM, or FMW. For rapid progression of disease (defined by rising WBC >30K with > 50% peripheral blasts), prednisone 60mg/m2 oral daily or equivalent corticosteroid daily may be added. Bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy will be performed on days 13-15 of the asparaginase treatment for early disease response assessment.
  3. Chemotherapy phase (days 15 - 42):
  • Cyclophosphamide 650 mg/m2 IV on day 15
  • Vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (max 2mg) IV on days 15, 22, 29, and 36
  • Prednisone 60mg/m2 (or equivalent corticosteroid) oral daily for 28 days on days 15 - 42
  • Erwinia asparaginase 25,000 IU/m2 IV three times a week on a MWF schedule for 2 weeks on days 29 - 42 (after a two week interval without Erwinia asparaginase administered on days 1 - 14) Upon cell count recovery, a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy will be performed to assess the disease response. Subsequent treatments following the bone marrow evaluation will be left up to the discretion of the treating physicians. If the first 6 patients have no response or progress during the 2 weeks of asparaginase phase of treatment with or without steroid, the next 6 patients will start directly with the chemotherapy phase (days 15-42) of treatment consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone with Erwinia asparaginase.

CNS prophylaxis:

  • IT methotrexate 12mg (flat dose) between days 15 - 22
  • IT methotrexate 12mg (flat dose) between days 22- 29
  • There will be a minimal interval between doses of 7 days

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Erwinia Chrysanthemi asparaginaseExperimentalThis is a phase I trial designed to assess the safety of IV Erwinia Chrysanthemi asparaginase during initial induction in patients aged 60 years or older with newly diagnosed Ph-negative ALL. A total of 12 patients will be accrued to the study.
Receives: Drug: Erwinia Chrysanthemi asparaginase

What is being measured

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

  1. proportion of patients who have a dose limiting toxicity (DLT)

    DLTs are defined as any of the following: grade 4 pancreatitis, grade 4 hemorrhage, grade 4 thromboembolism, grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia and any grade 5 toxicity attributable (definitely, probably or possible) to Erwinia asparaginase.

    Measured: with in 6 weeks of starting the study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Erwinia Chrysanthemi asparaginase in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Negative, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2017. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

proportion of patients who have a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: with in 6 weeks of starting the study drug). 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 2 Jun 2017.
