About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Flavopiridol Administered as a 30-Minute Bolus Followed by a 4-Hour Infusion in Lymphomas and Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of flavopiridol and to see how well it works in treating patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as flavopiridol, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the disease-specific dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of flavopiridol in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

II. Determine the complete and partial response rate in patients with selected non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (e.g., indolent B-cell, mantle cell, intermediate grade B-cell, and T/NK-cell), Hodgkin's lymphoma, or multiple myeloma treated with this drug.

III. Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects or this drug, in terms of organ specificity, time course, predictability, and reversibility in these patients.

IV. Determine subsets of lymphoid/plasma cell malignancies that are suitable for larger phase II studies designed to further evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of this drug in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. II. Determine the effect of this drug on innate immunity (including T-, B-, and NK-cell subsets) and quantitative immunoglobulin levels in these patients.

III. Determine whether acute infusion toxicity (e.g., fever, hypotension, tumor pain, and dyspnea) observed with other flavopiridol treatment schedules is related to a cytokine-release syndrome in these patients.

IV. Determine whether this drug induces response (independent of p53 mutational status) in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a multicenter, phase II, pilot study. Patients enrolled in the phase II portion of the study are stratified according to diagnosis.

PHASE I: Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 4½ hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of flavopiridol until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PHASE II: Patients receive flavopiridol* as in phase I at the MTD determined in phase I.

NOTE: The phase II treatment dose and schedule for hairy cell leukemia patients will be adapted from that developed in previous phase II studies of flavopiridol for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-specific Dose-limiting Toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose of Flavopiridol Graded According to the CTCAE (Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects) Version 4.0 (Phase I)

    Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) for an individual disease group is defined as 1) any grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity (except leukopenia or neutropenia) that does not resolve or decrease to grade 1-2 within 2 weeks, or 2) any grade 4 hematologic toxicity that causes more than a 1 week delay in administration of therapy.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as that dose level beneath the dose at which 2 or more of 6 patients experience DLT.

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Complete and Partial Response Rate (Phase II)

    Patients were assessed for clinical response after two , four and six cycle with laboratory studies, physical exam, and CT scans. Response was evaluated using the modified NCI-sponsored Working Group Lymphoma Response Criteria.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Qualitative and Quantitative Toxicities in Regard to Organ Specificity

    The NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (version 3.0) were used to define and grade toxicity for patients.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  5. Lymphoid/Plasma Cell Malignancies

    Identify subsets, based on levels of response (PR and SD), of lymphoid / plasma cell malignancies that are suitable for larger phase II studies designed to further evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of flavopiridol.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pharmacokinetics (Area Under the Curve; AUC) of Flavopiridol

    Whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics analysis during the first (Day 1) and fourth (Day 22) treatments during cycle 1. Samples were collected on both occasions prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 3, 4.5, 6, 8 and 24 hour after the start of the bolus infusion.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 22 of Cycle 1

  2. Number of Patients Reporting Acute Infusion Toxicity (e.g., Fever, Hypotension, Tumor Pain, and Dyspnea)

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  3. Induced Response in Patients Independent of p53 Mutational Status

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Pharmacodynamic Effects of Flavopiridol on Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs).

    The correlation of the pharmacodynamic effects of flavopiridol on normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Pharmacokinetics (Cmax) of Flavopiridol

    Whole blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics analysis during the first (Day 1) and fourth (Day 22) treatments during cycle 1. Samples were collected on both occasions prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 3, 4.5, 6, 8 and 24 hour after the start of the bolus infusion.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 22 of Cycle 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing alvocidib in people with Adult Lymphocyte Depletion Hodgkin Lymphoma and Adult Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 78 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2016. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Disease-specific Dose-limiting Toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose of Flavopiridol Graded According to the CTCAE (Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects) Version 4.0 (Phase I) (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00112723, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Aug 2016.
