About this study

Official title: An Open, Randomised Clinical Phase I/IIa Trial to Investigate the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Three-week Courses of a Single Dose i.v. BI 2536 on Day 1 in Comparison to Single Doses i.v. BI 2536 on Days 1, 2 and 3 in Patients Over 60 Years of Age With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

The present trial will be performed to determine the MTD and to evaluate the efficacy of BI 2536 in the treatment of elderly patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Different schedules will be compared to identify the better dosing schedule for the further development programme of BI 2536. Dose escalation starting with the maximum tolerated dose previously determined in patients with advanced solid cancers will be performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose for AML patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 2536 in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 9 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 16 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Germany, Austria. 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 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?

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?

Maximum tolerated dose Best objective response (time frame: 3 weeks, throughout the study period). 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 16 May 2014.
