Patients in accelerated phase, defined as the presence of any of the following features: (i) blasts in peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) >/= 15% (but < 30%), (ii) blasts + promyelocytes in PB or BM >/= 30%, (iii) basophils in PB or BM >/= 20%, (iv) platelets < 100 x 10e9/L unrelated to therapy, (v) clonal evolution.
  4. Patients in blast phase, defined by the presence of >/= 30% blasts in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow, or the presence of extramedullary disease.
  5. Patients in accelerated or blastic phase are eligible whether they have received and/or failed Gleevec or not.
  6. Age >/= 16 years.
  7. Patients must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study in keeping eith the policies of the hospital. The only acceptable consent form is attached at the end of the protocol.
  8. Performance status </= 2 by Zubrod scale.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Lonafarnib (SCH66336) and Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate) in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)

The purpose of this study if to investigate the effect of lonafarnib (SCH66336) in combination with Gleevec in the treatment of CML.

Read the detailed description

Existing pre-clinical and clinical data suggest that SCH66336, a farnesyl transferase inhibitor,exhibits significant activity against CML cells, and in fact may have synergistic activity in combination with imatinib mesylate. Thus, the objectives to the study are (1) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of lonafarnib (SCH66336), a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, in combination with imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) in patients with chronic phase, accelerated phase, and blast crisis CML; (2) to assess the pharmacokinetics of the combination of lonafarnib and Gleevec in these patients; and (3) to assess in a preliminary way the biologic activity of the combination of lonafarnib and Gleevec in these patients.

Being tested
Lonafarnib (SCH66336), Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec)
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) defined as grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity (NCI common criteria, version 2.0). Grade 3 or 4 nausea and vomiting considered DLT only if uncontrolled by antiemetics. Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea considered DLT only if uncontrolled for 48 hours despite adequate antidiarrheal therapy.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lonafarnib (SCH66336) and Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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 7 Nov 2018. 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 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.

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?

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: 3 months). 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 7 Nov 2018.
