Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients > = 18 years with a documented history of myelofibrosis transformed to acute myeloid leukemia using the World Health Organization criteria of > = 20% blasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow; the diagnosis of myelofibrosis could be either primary myelofibrosis (myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia), post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocytosis.
  • Patients > = 18 years with myelofibrosis (either primary (myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia), post polycythemia vera or post essential thrombocytosis) who 1) meet the Mayo Clinic criteria for high risk disease (> = 2 of the following criteria: hemoglobin <10 g/dL, WBC <4 or >30 x 109/L, platelets < 100 x 109/L, absolute monocyte count > = 1 x 109/L) AND 2) have failed to respond to treatment with at least one prior therapy for myelofibrosis (erythropoietic cytokines, androgens, hydrea, interferon, thalidomide, lenalidomide or investigational therapy).
  • Patients must have discontinued prior myelofibrosis treatments (with the exception of hydrea, which is permitted for control of leukocytosis) for at least 14 days prior to starting study drug
  • ECOG performance status of < = 2
  • Serum creatinine < = 2.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Serum bilirubin < = 2.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Serum potassium >4.0 mEq/dL and serum magnesium >2.0 mg/dL. If these serum electrolytes are below the specified limits on the baseline laboratory tests, electrolytes will be administered to bring the serum concentrations to these levels before administering arsenic trioxide.
  • Patients will be eligible for this trial regardless of gender, racial/ethnic background, provided all other inclusion and exclusion criteria are met and the patient or patient's legally authorized guardian signs the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Presence of a (9;22) translocation cytogenetically, or presence of bcr-abl by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) or PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
  • Absolute QT interval >500 msec in the presence of serum potassium ≥ 4.0 mEq/L and magnesium > = 1.8 mg/dL.
  • Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for AML or MDS; prior treatment with hydroxyurea, 5-azacytidine, decitabine, thalidomide and lenalidomide are permitted. Prior treatment with low-dose cytarabine is not permitted.
  • Concurrent treatment with maintenance therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation, or investigational agents.
  • Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular, pulmonary or infectious disease or other medical condition that would prohibit use of the planned study treatments.
  • Inability or unwillingness to comply with the treatment protocol, follow-up, or research tests.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Pilot Trial of Arsenic Trioxide (Trisenox®) in Combination With Cytosine Arabinoside in Patients With Advanced or Transformed Myelofibrosis

This is an open-label, one arm, single institution study. Arsenic trioxide [TrisenoxTM Injection], 0.25mg/kg/dose administered intravenously over 2 hours.

20 patients

Complete remission, partial remission, clinical improvement, progressive disease, stable disease, relapse (per IWG consensus criteria, 2006) Clinical chemistry, hematology and ECGs will be assessed at least weekly during study treatments. Adverse events will be assessed in accordance with the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, Version 2 at each study visit.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • arsenic trioxideDrug

    Cytarabine will be administered at a dose of 10 mg/m2 subcutaneously (sc) twice daily (bid) from days 1-14. Triseonx will be administered at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg on days 1-5 and days 8-12. Trisenox will be restarted only when the QT interval returns to less than 500 msec. One treatment cycle consists of 2 weeks, with 14 days of cytarabine and 10 days of ATO.

    Subsequent cycles will be administered at the investigator's discretion, depending on response and tolerability. Patients may continue to receive treatment with Trisenox /LDAC for a period of up to 2 years as long as stable disease or clinical benefit and absence of unacceptable toxicity can be demonstrated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing arsenic trioxide and cytarabine in people with Myelofibrosis, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 3 Mar 2017. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

To assess the response rate in patients with advanced MF/LT using criteria of the International Working Group (IWG) (time frame: duration of study). The study lists 2 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 3 Mar 2017.
