About this study

Official title: Impact of Treatment Intensity on Survival, Quality of Life, and Resource Utilization in Medically Less Fit Adults With Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Analogous Myeloid Neoplasms: A Randomized Pilot Study

This randomized pilot trial studies how well higher or lower dose cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone work in treating medically less fit patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myeloid neoplasm. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, 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. It is not yet known whether giving cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone at higher or lower dose may work better in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the feasibility of randomizing medically less fit adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or analogous myeloid neoplasms to either intensive or non-intensive induction and post remission chemotherapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the attitude of patients and physicians toward randomization and explore reasons for treatment preference.

II. To evaluate whether the ability to assess fitness for intensive chemotherapy can be improved by an augmented treatment-related mortality (TRM) score that includes additional (co-morbidity) factors, and to compare the ability of physicians and the prediction algorithm(s) to assess the likelihood of early death.

III. To compare, within the limits of a pilot study, response, duration of response, and survival between patients receiving intensive and those receiving non-intensive chemotherapy.

IV. To describe the impact of treatment intensity on quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML.

  1. To describe the impact of treatment intensity on medical resource utilization and care cost of patients undergoing chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML.

OUTLINE: Patients agreeable to randomization are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Patients not agreeable to randomization receive treatment based on their preference.

ARM I (HIGHER-DOSE):

INDUCTION: Patients receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) on days 0-5, higher dose cladribine intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1-5, higher dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and higher dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 2 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II (LOWER-DOSE):

INDUCTION: Patients receive G-CSF SC on days 0-5, lower dose cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, lower dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5, and lower dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 6 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility Defined as Proportion of Patients Willing to be Randomized to Either Intensive or Non-intensive Induction and Post Remission Chemotherapy

    Randomizing patients to either intensive or non-intensive induction and post remission chemotherapy will be considered feasible if the true proportion of patients willing to be randomized is 60% or higher.

    Measured: At end of enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cladribine, Cytarabine and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor in people with Acute Leukemia of Ambiguous Lineage and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Washington 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 7 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 8 Mar 2022. 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 1 Nov 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?

Feasibility Defined as Proportion of Patients Willing to be Randomized to Either Intensive or Non-intensive Induction and Post Remission Chemotherapy (time frame: At end of enrollment). 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 8 Mar 2022.
