Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. STI571 may stop the growth of leukemia cells. Combining chemotherapy and STI571 may kill more cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of STI-571 and Chemotherapy in Lymphoid Blast Crisis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. STI571 may stop the growth of leukemia cells. Combining chemotherapy and STI571 may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus STI571 in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of daunorubicin when combined with imatinib mesylate, vincristine, and prednisone in patients with lymphoid blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the frequency of hematologic and cytogenetic responses in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the duration of response of this patient population treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of daunorubicin.

Patients who have not previously received imatinib mesylate receive oral imatinib mesylate on days 1-35. Patients who have previously received imatinib mesylate for at least 28 days receive oral imatinib mesylate on days 22-35. All patients receive daunorubicin IV over 2-3 minutes on days 1-3, vincristine IV over 1 minute on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, and oral prednisone on days 1-28. Patients with more than 5% residual blasts in bone marrow on day 28 receive a second course in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of daunorubicin 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 is determined, additional patients are treated at the recommended phase II dose.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 46 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing daunorubicin hydrochloride, imatinib mesylate and prednisone in people with Leukemia, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 5 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 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 combined 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.

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.

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 24 Jun 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
