About this study

Official title: Chemosensitization With Plerixafor Plus G-CSF in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This study is designed to test the combination of Plerixafor with G-CSF for chemosensitization in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Read the detailed description

In this study, we are seeking to target the leukemia microenvironment to overcome disease resistance. We hypothesize that by disrupting the interaction of leukemic blasts with the bone marrow microenvironment, we may sensitize leukemic blasts to the effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy. In this study, we seek to maximize blockage of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis through the following:

  1. Addition of G-CSF, which down regulates SDF-1 expression and acts synergistically with plerixafor in stem cell mobilization
  2. Intravenous instead of subcutaneous dosing of plerixafor to improve kinetics of administration.
  3. Dose escalation of plerixafor and twice daily dosing to maintain maximum CXCR4 blockade.
Being tested
G-CSF, Plerixafor, Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, Cytarabine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing G-CSF, Plerixafor and Mitoxantrone in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 3 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 13 inclusion and 8 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 4 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2017). 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?

Phase I: Maximum Tolerated Dose of Plerixafor Plus G-CSF When Combined With MEC (time frame: Completion of Phase I enrollment (17 months)). 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 4 Apr 2017.
