About this study

Official title: Cytarabine Monotherapy for Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Single Arm, Single Center, Prospective Phase 2 Study

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, heterogeneous histiocytic disorder occurring in patients of all ages from neonates to the elderly. The current standard treatment protocol for children with de novo multisystem LCH is vinblastine plus prednisone. This regimen has never been proven effective for adults in a prospective study, since the only prospective trial evaluating the efficacy of a vinblastine/prednisone regimen in adults was prematurely closed due to unacceptable toxicities. A retrospective study showed an advantage for cytarabine monotherapy compared with vinblastine/prednisone in bone LCH patients. This phase 2, prospective, single-center study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cytarabine monotherapy in adults with newly diagnosed MS-LCH or LCH with multifocal single system (SS-m) involvement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Events were defined as a poor response to AraC, reactivation after AraC therapy and death from any cause.

    Measured: the duration from initiation of AraC treatment to the date of a first event or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall response rate

    the cumulative number of patients with either non-active disease or regressive disease (signs and symptoms were improved with no new lesions) after AraC therapy

    Measured: on 12 months

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival

    Measured: the duration from initiation of AraC treatment to the date of death or last follow-up, assessed up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cytarabine in people with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. 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 China. 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?

Contact Xinxin Cao, MD (69155027, caoxinxin@pumch.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free survival (EFS) (time frame: the duration from initiation of AraC treatment to the date of a first event or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed up to 5 years). 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 Jun 2021.
