About this study

Official title: Combination Chemotherapy (Methotrexate, L-asparaginase, Idarubicin and Dexamethasone) in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN)

Patients with suspected BPDCN and meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study. First, BPDCN diagnosis will be confirmed by anatomic pathology (Dr Petrella T, Montreal) and cytologic plus immunophenotyping analysis (Pr Garnache Ottou F, UMR1098 BESANCON). Patients will then receive three 21 days cycles of a combination of chemotherapy (Ida/Metho/L-asp/Dex), followed by an evaluation. Patients with complete response (CR) or complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi) will undergo an allo- or auto-SCT and those who are not eligible to the transplantation will have successive 28 days cycles of chemotherapy (Metho/L-asp/Dex). Patients who did not respond to the treatment will be treated by physicians. All patients will be followed for 24 months.

What participants receive

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

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    • Idarubicin 12mg/m2 IV at D1
    • Methotrexate at D1 (24H infusion, alkaline hydration, leucovorin rescue):
    • Patients <65y and albuminemia >35 g/l and CrCl (MDRD)>60 ml/min: 3000 mg/m²
    • Patients <65y and albuminemia <35 g/l and/or CrCl (MDRD) <60 ml/min: 1000 mg/m² IV
    • Patients ≥65y and albuminemia >35 g/l and CrCl (MDRD) > 60 ml/min : 1000 mg/m²
    • Patients ≥ 65y and albuminemia < 35 g/l and/or CrCl (MDRD) < 60 ml/min : 500 mg/m²
    • L-asparaginase (SPECTRILA) : 5000 units/m² IV at D2, 5, 8, 11 (switch to Erwinia asparaginase/Cirsantaspase 25 000 U/m² with the same drug regimen in case of hypersensitivity reactions or significant diminution of asparaginase activity)
    • Dexamethasone 40mg PO or IV at D1-4 (dose diminution at 20 mg for Age ≥65y)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy in people with Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN), run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 2 sites in France.

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 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 with complete response after 3 cycles of chemotherapy (time frame: 12 weeks (3 weeks after 3 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days))). 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 Feb 2024.
