About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2 Study of Concurrent Decitabine in Combination With G-CSF, Cladribine, Cytarabine, and Mitoxantrone (G-CLAM) in Adults With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of decitabine when given together with filgrastim, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that is newly diagnosed, has come back or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Decitabine, filgrastim, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of decitabine when used concomitantly with filgrastim, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride (G-CLAM) in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

II. Compare, within the limits of a phase 1/2 study, the rate of complete remission without measurable residual disease (minimal residual disease negative [MRDneg] complete remission [CR]) with decitabine + G-CLAM at the MTD compared to similar patients treated previously with G-CLAM alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate, within the limits of a phase 1/2 study, disease response (complete remission, overall response rate) relapse-free survival (RFS), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients with newly-diagnosed AML / high-risk MDS.

II. Describe, within the limits of a phase 1/2 study, the toxicity profile of the study regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose de-escalation study of decitabine.

INDUCTION: Patients receive decitabine intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1-10. Patients also receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) on days 0-5, cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, cytarabine IV over 2-4 hours on days 1-5, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3.

RE-INDUCTION: Patients who do not achieve MRDneg CR after first induction are eligible for re-induction. Patients receive the same treatment as during induction except that decitabine is omitted.

CONSOLIDATION THERAPY: Beginning 6 weeks after achieving MRDneg CR or CR/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) after induction and/or re-induction, patients are eligible to receive filgrastim, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Treatment may be repeated for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Subsequent consolidation cycles would be given after recovery from the previous cycle (roughly 4-6 weeks).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at for 1 month and every 3 months for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) at the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for Decitabine When Given Together With G-CLAM Toxicities (DLTs) (Phase I)

    Evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. MTD is defined as the highest dose studied in which the incidence of DLT is < 33%. Each participant was monitored for DLTs in the first 20 days of treatment. DLTs monitored included

    1. any grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting more than 48 hours that resulted in more than a 7 day delay of the subsequent treatment cycle (except for febrile neutropenia or infection)
    2. any grade 4 or greater non-hematologic toxicity (except febrile neutropenia and infection unless a direct consequence of a treatment-related toxicity, and except constitutional symptoms if they recovered to grade 2 or less within 14 days)
    3. lack of recovery of the absolute neutrophil count to 500/microliter or greater and lack of self-sustained platelet count of at least 50,000/microliter by treatment day +49 with no evidence of residual leukemia

    Measured: Up to 49 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Minimal Residual Disease Negative (MRDneg) Complete Remission (Phase II)

    Compared to historical controls of filgrastim, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride (G-CLAM) alone. A Simon Minimax two-stage design will be used.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Number of Participants Who Achieved Remission (Complete Remission [CR]/CR With Incomplete Peripheral Blood Count Recovery [CRi])

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Number of Participants With Overall Survival

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Number of Participants With Relapse-free Survival

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  5. Number of Participants With Event-free Survival

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cladribine, Cytarabine and Decitabine in people with Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia and Previously Treated Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Fred Hutchinson 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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2020. 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 combined 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.

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 17 Mar 2020). 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 Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) at the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for Decitabine When Given Together With G-CLAM Toxicities (DLTs) (Phase I) (time frame: Up to 49 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 NCT02921061, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Mar 2020.
