Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Of Combined Modality Postremission Therapy As Determined By Molecular Response (Adaptive Regulation) In The Treatment Of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody in treating patients who have acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia in clinical complete remission following tretinoin-based induction therapy treated with monoclonal antibody HuG1-M195, arsenic trioxide, idarubicin, and tretinoin.
  • Determine the rate of molecular complete remission in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population.
  • Determine the number and length of hospitalizations of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive monoclonal antibody HuG1-M195 (MOAB HuM195) IV over 40-60 minutes twice weekly for 3 weeks. Approximately 2-4 weeks after completion of MOAB HuM195, patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours daily for a total of 25 days with no more than 5 days between doses.

Beginning approximately 4-6 weeks after completion of arsenic trioxide, patients receive idarubicin IV daily on days 1-3 or 1-4 and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 5 or 6 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for patients who remain RT-PCR positive or are newly converted to RT-PCR negative (molecular complete remission) following a prior course of idarubicin for a maximum of 3 courses. Patients who remain RT-PCR positive following course 3 of idarubicin receive no further treatment on study.

Beginning 3 months after completion of idarubicin, patients in molecular complete remission receive oral tretinoin daily for 14 days. Treatment repeats every 3 months for a total of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed monthly.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 35 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, lintuzumab and arsenic trioxide in people with Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 Jan 2013. 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 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?

reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction negativity. 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 16 Jan 2013.
