Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Bryostatin 1 (NSC 339555) and Fludarabine in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bryostatin 1 plus fludarabine in treating patients who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia or relapsed, indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the toxic effects and maximum tolerated dose of bryostatin 1 and fludarabine in patients with symptomatic or advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia or relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Monitor apoptosis, differentiation, and protein kinase C activity in leukemic lymphocytes exposed in vivo to bryostatin 1 and fludarabine.
  • Observe the antitumor activity of this combination therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to one of two treatment groups.

  • Group I: Patients receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours followed by fludarabine IV over 30 minutes daily on days 1-5.
  • Group II: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes daily on days 1-5 followed by bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours.

In both groups, courses repeat every 4 weeks for patients with stable or responding disease.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of fludarabine and bryostatin 1 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD for fludarabine is determined, the dose of bryostatin 1 is escalated.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bryostatin 1 and fludarabine phosphate in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 3 sites 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?

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 24 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 NCT00005580, 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 24 Feb 2010.
