About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Intravenous DX-8951f in Patients With Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Refractory Acute Leukemia, Refractory or Transformed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Blastic Phase

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of DX-8951f in treating patients who have hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of DX-8951f in patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes, refractory acute myeloid or lymphocytic leukemia, refractory or transformed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic phase. II. Evaluate the quantitative and qualitative toxic effects of this regimen and determine the duration and reversibility of these effects in these patients. III. Make a preliminary determination of the antileukemic activity of this regimen in these patients. IV. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive DX-8951f IV over 30 minutes daily for 5 days. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of DX-8951f until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20-25 evaluable patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing exatecan mesylate in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2012. 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 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00004047, 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 16 May 2012.
