LeukemiaPhase 2NCT00006265
Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and High-Dose Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
A Phase 2 study testing ara-C and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in people with Leukemia, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 78 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Dose Escalation And Phase II Study Of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (CMA-676; Mylotarg) With High-Dose Cytarabine For Patients With Refractory Or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with cytarabine may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with high-dose cytarabine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia treated with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (CMA-676) and high-dose cytarabine.
- Determine the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (CMA-676) (phase I closed to accrual effective 08/25/2003). Patients are stratified according to disease status (refractory vs relapsed).
- Phase I (closed to accrual effective 08/25/2003): Patients are enrolled in one of four cohorts.
- Cohort I (closed to accrual as of 10/1/02): Patients receive CMA-676 at the first dose level IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 8.
- Cohort IA (open to accrual as of 10/15/02): Patients receive high-dose cytarabine (HD-ARA-C) IV over 3 hours on days 1-5 and CMA-676 IV over 2 hours on day 7.
- Cohort II: Patients receive HD-ARA-C as in cohort IA and CMA-676 at the first dose level IV over 2 hours on days 7 and 14.
- Cohort IV: Patients receive CMA-676 at the second dose level and HD-ARA-C as in cohort II.
Dose escalation stops if at least 3 of 9 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
- Phase II: Patients receive HD-ARA-C IV over 3 hours on days 1-5 and CMA-676 IV over 2 hours on day 7 (one course).
Patients are followed at 1 month, monthly for 6 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then annually for 10 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for phase I of the study and a total of 37 patients will be accrued for phase II of the study within 2 years. (Phase I closed to accrual effective 08/25/2003).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ara-C and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in people with Leukemia, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 78 sites in 2 countries.
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 14 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 78 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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?
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Complete remission rate (time frame: 8 or 14 days after tx initiation & 30 d post tx). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00006265, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 14 Jul 2016.
