Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 21 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Have a diagnosis of AML according to FAB classification with greater than or equal to 25% blasts in the bone marrow.
  • Be less than or equal to 21 years old at time of initial diagnosis.
  • Not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential, and must be in first or subsequent relapse and/or refractory. Where an alternative therapy has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population, this should be offered to the patient prior to discussing this study.
  • Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3) must have been treated with at least 2 regimens-a retinoic acid-containing regimen and an arsenic trioxide-containing regimen before being considered for this study.
  • Have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of greater than or equal to 70.
  • Provide signed, written informed consent from parent or guardian and assent from patients greater than or equal to 7 years old according to local IRB and institutional requirements.
  • Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values, obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration: Serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN; AST and ALT less than or equal to 5 x ULN; Serum Creatinine less than 2 x ULN for age. ULN= Institutional Upper Limit of Normal

Who cannot join

  • Received previous treatment with Clofarabine.
  • Have an active, uncontrolled systemic infection considered opportunistic, life threatening, or clinically significant at the time of treatment.
  • Are pregnant or lactating. Male and female patients who are fertile must agree to use an effective means of birth control (i.e., latex condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, etc) to avoid pregnancy.
  • Have psychiatric disorders that would interfere with consent, study participation, or follow up.
  • Are receiving any other chemotherapy. Patients must have been off previous therapy for at least 2 weeks (with the exception of intrathecal therapy, which is allowed up to 24hrs prior to 1st dose of study drug) and must have recovered from acute toxicity of all previous therapy prior to enrollment. Treatment may start earlier, following consultation with the ILEX Medical Monitor, if there is evidence of disease relapse prior to that time.
  • Have any other severe concurrent disease, which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

  • Have symptomatic CNS involvement.
  • Febrile neutropenia at time of study entry.
  • Known or suspected fungal infection (ie. patients on parenteral antifungal therapy).

About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open Label Study of Clofarabine in Pediatric Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Clofarabine (injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Clofarabine is safe and effective in the treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML.)

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, open label, Phase II study of Clofarabine in pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Eligible patients must be in first or subsequent relapse or be refractory. Forty eligible patients will be enrolled in a Fleming 2-stage sequential study design in order to better assess the efficacy and safety of clofarabine in this patient population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing clofarabine (IV formulation) in people with Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute, Pediatric, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 18 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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 5 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 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 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 5 Mar 2015.
