About this study

Official title: Pharmacology and Toxicity of Erwinia Asparaginase (Erwinase?; Crisantaspase; IND 290) Following Allergy to PEG-Asparaginase in Treatment of Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

This clinical trial is studying the side effects of Erwinia asparaginase and what happens to the drug in the body in treating young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are allergic to PEG-asparaginase. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as Erwinia asparaginase, 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. To determine if the 48-hour trough serum asparaginase activity is ? 0.1 IU/mL in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with Erwinia asparaginase after allergy to PEG-asparaginase.

II. To determine the frequency of asparaginase-related toxicity in these patients.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of Erwinia asparaginase in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare serum asparaginase activity and serum asparagine concentration between patients treated with Erwinia asparaginase on this trial and historical controls treated with PEG-asparaginase on CCG-1961 and CCG-1962.

II. To determine the 72-hour serum asparaginase activity on days 8 or 11 or 13 based on the starting date of Erwinia asparaginase therapy.

III. To determine the presence of anti-Erwinia asparaginase antibodies in patients treated with a course(s) of Erwinia asparaginase following clinical allergy to PEG-asparaginase (PEG, pegaspargase).

IV. To determine if serum asparagine is adequately depleted on days 12 or 13 in a subset of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive 6 doses of Erwinia asparaginase intramuscularly (IM) on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule as a replacement for each scheduled dose of PEG-asparaginase remaining on the original treatment protocol. All other chemotherapy continues according to the original treatment protocol.

Blood samples are collected periodically for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and antibody studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Trough Serum Asparaginase Activity ≥ 0.1 IU/mL

    Percentage of participants who had trough serum asparaginase activity ≥ 0.1 IU/mL in the blood 48 hours post administration of Erwinia asparaginase

    Measured: 48 hours post administration of Erwinia asparaginase

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine if Plasma Asparagine is Adequately Depleted

    Plasma asparagine depletion will be determined in a subset of 20 patients limited to participating Phase I Institutions.

    Measured: On days 12 or 13

  2. Presence of Anti-Erwinia Asparaginase Antibodies in Children Treated With a Course(s) of Erwinase® Following Clinical Allergy to PEG-asparaginase

    An ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method will be used to determine the presence of specific anti-Erwinia and anti-PEG-asparaginase antibodies at baseline, and of specific anti-Erwinia asparaginase antibodies after first and subsequent exposures to Erwinase®. The rate of antibody formation will be described and compared informally to experience in CCG-1962 and 1961. Serum asparaginase activity will be compared during Erwinase® courses as an indication of the neutralizing effect of antibodies on the enzyme effect.

    Measured: At baseline, prior to doses 4, 5, and 6 and on days 15 and 22

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Toxicities

    The percentage of participants who experienced toxicities: Allergy rate, Hyperglycemia Rate, Pancreatitis Rate, Hemorrhage/Thrombosis Rate

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Asparaginase, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Pharmacological Study in people with Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Children's Oncology Group at 43 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 43 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Aug 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Trough Serum Asparaginase Activity ≥ 0.1 IU/mL (time frame: 48 hours post administration of Erwinia asparaginase). 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 9 Jul 2019.
