About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of CLAG Regimen in Combination With Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of the study is to find out what effects (good and bad) Gleevec® (Imatinib mesylate) combined with chemotherapy has on participants and their acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

In relapsed or resistant acute myeloid leukemia (a type of blood cancer where immature blood cells are increased, blocking normal blood cell production), different types of chemotherapy are used for treatment. Patients responded to all the chemotherapies in similar ways, but most of the responses did not last long if further stem cell transplantation was not done. Gleevec is believed to work by interfering with the abnormal protein by blocking it from telling the body to keep making more white blood cells that are abnormal.

The CLAG regimen is the standard chemotherapy used for relapsed AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). This study will add Gleevec® to the regimen for a period of 14 days. Gleevec® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some types of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Its use in combination with CLAG regimen is considered experimental for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia/CML blast crisis.

What participants receive

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

  • CLAG RegimenDrug

    Also called cladribine, cytarabine, neupogen

    The CLAG regimen consisted of: Cladribine, 5 mg/m^2 administered via 2 hour IV daily for 5 consecutive days starting on day 2; Cytarabine, 2 mg/m^2 administered through a 4 hour IV starting 2 hours after the ignition of Cladribine for 5 days starting on day 2; granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF): 300 mcg subcutaneous (SC) for 6 days starting 12-24 hours (Day 1) before the first dose of Cladribine.

  • Gleevec®Drug

    Also called imatinib mesylate

    Imatinib mesylate 400 mg orally twice daily was administered on day 2 to day 15. Re-induction was allowed if participant had partial response (PR).

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Overall Response Rate: Morphologic Complete Remission (CR) + Morphologic Complete Remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) for evaluable participants. CR - Bone Marrow: < 5% blasts without Auer rods with at least 20% cellularity with maturation of all cell lines, No presence of unique phenotype by flow cytometry identical to what was found in the pretreatment specimen, No persistent dysplasia; Peripheral: normal blood counts, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.0 k/μl and platelets > 100 k/μl ANC > 1.0 k/μl and platelets > 100 k/μl (Peripheral blood counts documenting recovery can be utilized within 4 weeks of the bone marrow); No evidence of extramedullary leukemia. CRi - All CR criteria are met except for residual Neutropenia <1.0 x 10^9/L platelets < 100 k/μl.

    Measured: 8 weeks per participant

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression. Leukemia related failure (progressive disease): Failure to induce bone marrow hypoplasia after 2 cycles or regrowth of leukemic blasts ≥ 20%.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CLAG Regimen and Gleevec® in people with Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 10 inclusion and 11 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 27 Jun 2014. 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?

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 14 Jan 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?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: 8 weeks per participant). 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 27 Jun 2014.
