Trial summary

Summary Acute promyelocytic leukemia is defined by a characteristic morphology (AML FAB M3/M3v), by the specific translocation t(15;17) and its molecular correlates (PML/RARa and RARa/PML). Thereby it can be separated from all other forms of acute leukemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: APL-R2007: Treatment of Relapsed Promyelocytic Leukemia With Arsenic Trioxide (ATO)

Summary Acute promyelocytic leukemia is defined by a characteristic morphology (AML FAB M3/M3v), by the specific translocation t(15;17) and its molecular correlates (PML/RARa and RARa/PML). Thereby it can be separated from all other forms of acute leukemia.

By all-trans retinoic acid in combination with chemotherapy cure rates of 70 to 80% can be reached. On average, about 10% of patients still die in the early phase of the treatment and about 20 to 30% relapse. Molecular monitoring of the minimal residual disease (MRD) by qualitative nested RT-PCR and quantitative REAL-time PCR of PML/RARa allows to follow the individual kinetics of MRD and to identify patients with an imminent hematological relapse.

A standardized treatment for patients with relapsed APL has not yet been established. With arsenic trioxide (ATO) monotherapy remission rates over 80% were achieved and long-lasting molecular remissions are described. The drug was mostly well tolerated. ATO exerts a dose dependent dual effect on APL blasts, apoptosis in higher and partial differentiation in lower concentrations. ATO was also successfully administered before allogeneic and autologous transplantation. ATO is approved for the treatment of relapsed and refractory APL in Europe and in the USA.

After remission induction, there are several options for postremission therapy Previous studies shows that risk of relapse is higher in patients treated with ATO postremission in monotherapy , than in other that receive ATO plus chemotherapy or transplantation (TPH). Also, compared with chemotherapy, ATO induction and consolidation has a favorable impact in posterior response to transplantation. It is due to a low toxicity or a best quality of remission to TPH. It seems better, for these reasons, the intensification with TPH (autologous or allogenic) in patients with relapsed APL treated with ATO. For another hand, patients no candidates to TPH can be treated with ATO combined with other active agents in APL, as ATRA, anthracyclines o Mylotarg

Read the detailed description

Induction ATO 0.15 mg/kg/día IV in continuous perfusion 1-2 hours/day until complete response (CR) or maximum of 60 days.

Oral hydroxyurea treatment (initial dose 2 g/day)is recommended in patients with leucocyte counts at relapse >10x109/L or in the two first weeks of induction.

Isolated molecular relapsed patients will be treated with ATO (same dose) 5 days at week, during 6 weeks.

Consolidation ATO 0.15 mg/kg/día IV 5 days at week, during 5 weeks, combined with oral ATRA 45 mg/m²/day during the same 5 weeks.

Post-consolidation therapy TPH (autologous or allogenic) in candidate patients. In case of molecular remission, is recommended autologous-TPH.

Patients no candidates to auto-TPH or alo-TPH, should will follow treatment with ATO cycles + ATRA +/- Mylotarg.

  1. Option Alo-TPH If PCR post-consolidation is negative is recommended auto-TPH. However, if alo-TPH is decided, it will be done immediately without preceding chemotherapy. If PCR post-consolidation is positive, should done alo-TPH.
  2. Option Auto-TPH If PCR post-consolidation is negative it will be administered one cycle of MTZ + Ara-C follow by auto-TPH. In cas of failure: a) if patient has autologous stem cells preserved (PCR negative) are suitable for auto-TPH; b) patients with HLA-compatible donor who are suitable for allogenic stem cell transplantation should be transplanted; c) Patients who are not eligible for allogenic or autologous transplantation, receive various cycles with ATO + ATRA combined or not with Mylotarg. If PCR post-consolidation is positive and patient is eligible for allogenic TPH, should be done a allogenic TPH. If patient is no eligible for allogenic TPH or dont has compatible donor, will be administrate one cycle of MTZ + Ara-C and collect stem cells. Autologous transplantation will be done if after this cycle, a molecular remission is obtained. No molecular remission or no enough stem cells collection, patient follows treatment with subsequent cycles of ATO + ATRA combined or no with Mylotarg.
  3. ATO + ATRA combined or no with Mylotarg Patients no eligible to autologous TPH or allogenic TPH follows treatment with subsequent cycles of ATO + ATRA combined or no with Mylotarg.

If Mylotarg is no possible, treatment will be with subsequent cycles of ATO + ATRA.

ATO + ATRA + Mylotarg: Mylotarg 6 mg/m2 day 1, ATO 0.15 mg/kg days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12, and ATRA 45 mg/m2/d days 1 to 15. Doses of mylotarg should be reduced to 3 mg/m2 in patients aged over 60 years. Administration of 3 cycles with a month interval, follow of 3 to 6 cycles of ATO + ATRA without Mylotarg. After, ATRA 45 mg/m2/d 15 days every 3 months until complete two years of maintenance.

ATO + ATRA: ATO 0.15 mg/kg days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12, and ATRA 45 mg/m2/d days 1 to 15, every 29 days. Administration of 9 cycles, and followed by ATRA 45 mg/m2/d during 15 days every 3 months until complete two years of maintenance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the hematological and molecular remission rate after induction and consolidation with ATO

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Evaluate the induction mortality with ATO in monotherapy

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Evaluate the hematological and molecular relapse rate in patients treated with autologous transplantation, allogenic transplantation or ATO + ATRA +/- Mylotarg

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate kinetics of the MDR of PML/RARa during and after ATO

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Evaluate the mortality related with postremission treatment

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Side effects of ATO and the different treatments post-consolidation

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Overall survival

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Arsenic Trioxide, Autologous Transplantation and Allogenic Transplantation in people with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 86 sites in Spain.

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 6 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 28 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 86 sites in Spain. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Evaluate the hematological and molecular remission rate after induction and consolidation with ATO (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Oct 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
