About this study

Official title: Open-label, Dose-escalating Trial to Evaluate the Tolerability, Toxicity, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Activity of Volasertib Added to the Standard Intensive Salvage Chemotherapy Regimen With Liposomal Daunorubicine, Fludarabine and Cytarabine (DNX-FLA) Followed by Fludarabine and Cytarabine (FLA) in Children From 3 Months to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia After Failure of the Front-line Therapy

This is an open-label, dose-escalating trial to evaluate the MTD and/or dose to be used for further development by evaluation of DLT in course 1 and the safety of volasertib when added to standard intensive salvage chemotherapy with DNX-FLA in paediatric patients with AML after failure of first-line therapy. Furthermore, data on efficacy and PK/PD of volasertib in paediatric patients with AML when added to standard intensive salvage chemotherapy will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of the maximal tolerated dose of volasertib or the recommended volasertib dose for further studies in combination with standard salvage therapy in paediatric patients with AML after failure of the front-line intensive chemotherapy regimen

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Anti-leukaemic activity of volasertib in combination with standard salvage therapy

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Measured: up to 5 years

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: up to 5 years

  4. Number of patients with clinically relevant lab value changes of calcium (hyper- and/or hypocalcaemia) as judged by the investigator and reported as adverse events (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or higher)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Number of patients with changes in cardiac activity (prolonged QTc interval) reported as clinically relevant observations (i.e. Adverse Events)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. Predose concentration of volasertib before administration of second dose

    Measured: 8 weeks

  7. Area under the concentration-time curve of volasertib

    Measured: 8 weeks

  8. Terminal half-life of volasertib in plasma

    Measured: 8 weeks

  9. Maximum concentration of volasertib

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Volasertib in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 27 Jan 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 Belgium. 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?

Determination of the maximal tolerated dose of volasertib or the recommended volasertib dose for further studies in combination with standard salvage therapy in paediatric patients with AML after failure of the front-line intensive chemotherapy regimen (time frame: 4 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 Jan 2017.
