About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Of Troxatyl In Patients With CML Blastic Phase Disease

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

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of troxacitabine in treating patients who have blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, in terms of achieving complete hematologic remission, partial hematologic remission, hematologic improvement, partial response, or back to chronic phase status, in patients with blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia treated with troxacitabine. II. Determine the proportion of patients whose disease returns to chronic phase and remains at that level for at least 3 months when treated with this drug. III. Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients. IV. Determine the duration of survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive troxacitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 4 weeks until relapse.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 50 patients will be accrued for this study within 14 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing troxacitabine in people with Leukemia, run by Shire at 20 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 10 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 20 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

Conventional Response Rate (time frame: Week 4). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jun 2021.
