About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Liposomal Annamycin in Children and Young Adults With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and Acute Myelogeneous Leukemia

This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, MTD study of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. Enrollment will occur in cohorts of approximately 3 subjects with 10 additional subjects enrolled at the MTD. The liposomal annamycin doses will be escalated in sequential cohorts. Six dose levels of liposomal annamycin are planned: 130, 160, 190, 230, 280, and 310 mg/m2/day.The primary objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate the safety and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of liposomal annamycin when given in 3 consecutive daily doses, starting at 130 mg/m2/day and ranging to as high as 310 mg/m2/day, or the MTD, whichever is lower, in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and 2) to evaluate the antileukemic activity of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. The secondary objective is to measure the pharmacokinetics of annamycin and its metabolite, annamycinol.

This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, MTD study of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. Enrollment will occur in cohorts of approximately 3 subjects with 10 additional subjects enrolled at the MTD. The liposomal annamycin doses will be escalated in sequential cohorts. Six dose levels of liposomal annamycin are planned: 130, 160, 190, 230, 280, and 310 mg/m2/day.

The initial group of 3 subjects will receive a treatment cycle of 130 mg/m2/day liposomal annamycin daily for 3 consecutive days followed by 18 days off liposomal annamycin (i.e., 1 treatment cycle = 21 days). A prophylactic mouthwash for use with anthracyline-based chemotherapies (composition described below under Test Product, Dose, and Mode of Administration) will be used 4 times a day on Days 1-4, with one of the 4 times being immediately 1 hour prior to liposomal annamycin treatment on Days 1 3, to prevent oral mucositis. Anti-allergic pre-medication with diphenydramine will be administered before each dose of liposomal annamycin.

Provided that no subject experiences dose limiting toxicity (DLT) [defined as a study drug related Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0] during the first 21 days (i.e., during the first treatment cycle), the subsequent group of 3 subjects will receive the next higher liposomal annamycin dose. However, if 1 of the 3 initial subjects experiences DLT, the cohort of subjects at the initial dose level will be expanded to 6 subjects. If at least 2 of the 6 subjects experience DLT, then 3 subjects will be treated at the next lower dose. The MTD is defined as the highest dose of liposomal annamycin at which fewer than 2 (of a cohort of up to 6) subjects experience a DLT.

Subsequent dose escalation will occur in a similar fashion. If a subject discontinues treatment for reasons other than study drug related adverse events such that safety cannot be fully evaluated, an additional subject may be enrolled; these will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis in conjunction with the Sponsor. The dose will be escalated until either a MTD is identified or the maximum dose, 310 mg/m2/day, is achieved. Ten additional subjects will be enrolled at the MTD to better define toxicity and to better evaluate efficacy at the MTD.

Subjects will be evaluated before the start of liposomal annamycin treatment and during the first 3 days of liposomal annamycin treatment. Subjects will be evaluated weekly thereafter during the first cycle of treatment (1 cycle consists of 3 weeks, with 3 consecutive days of daily liposomal annamycin treatment followed by 18 days off of liposomal annamycin) and weekly during each subsequent cycle that they are eligible to receive further treatment. A follow-up visit will be conducted 1 to 2 weeks after the final treatment cycle or after the last study drug administration, if the treatment period was prematurely terminated.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Participants are no longer being examined or treated.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To evaluate the safety and identify the MTD of liposomal annamycin and to evaluate the antileukemic activity of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults. (time frame: 8 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 31 Aug 2011.
