Show all 10Show fewer
  • Have any other severe concurrent disease or a history of serious organ dysfunction or disease involving the heart, kidney, liver, or pancreas.
  • Have received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) within 3 months prior to providing the consent or have acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (greater than or equal to Grade 2) requiring immunosuppressive therapy or severe (systemic) chronic GVHD.
  • Have a prior positive test for Hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen or antibody, HBc antibody, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. (The patients who have had treatment of vaccine and are positive for HBs antibody are eligible).

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Multi-center Study of Clofarabine in Japanese Paediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

The purpose of this study is primarily to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of clofarabine intravenously administered to pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or for whom no other therapy with greater potential clinical benefit exists. The dosing regimen for the intravenous (IV) clofarabine is 30 or 52 mg/m2/day for 5 consecutive days. The secondary objectives are to document the activity of clofarabine and to explore the impact of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) promoter polymorphism on PK and treatment outcome.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I Study of Clofarabine in Japanese Paediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

Subjects will receive intravenous administration of clofarabine at 30 or 52 mg/m2/day (2 hours) for 5 consecutive days and then the administration will be withheld until Day 14. If there is no evidence of recovery in neutrophil (≥750/mm3) and/or platelet count (≥50,000/mm3), the therapy may be withheld up to Day 42. However, in the absence of progression based on the judgment of the investigator after each cycle of treatment and the benefit of continued treatment is judged to exceed the risk, subjects may receive up to a total of six cycles. If a subject is receiving two or more cycles, a written consent must be obtained prior to start of Cycle 2.

When a subject completes the final dose, the safety will be observed and followed-up for 45 days after the final study drug administration.

Cohort 1 will receive 30 mg/m2/day x 5 days at Cycle 1 and will be assessed for tolerability. Samples will be drawn to assess pharmacokinetics at this dose. If subjects do not develop adverse events indicative of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at Cycle 1, the dose will be increased to 52 mg/m2/day x 5 days from Cycle 2 and the subjects will be assessed for safety and activity only.

Cohort 2 will receive 52 mg/m2/day x 5 days at Cycle 1 and will be assessed for the tolerability. Samples will be drawn to assess pharmacokinetics at this dose.

Whether or not proceeding to Cohort 2 after the Cycle 1 of Cohort 1 is completed will be determined by the sponsor based on the assessment of the safety data and the recommendation of the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Measured: 14 days (1st cycle)

  2. Safety as evaluated by adverse events (incidence, severity, duration, causality, seriousness, type)

    Measured: 45 days after final study drug administration

  3. Pharmacokinetics as measured by maximum drug serum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

  4. Pharmacokinetics as measured by Time to maximum serum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

  5. Pharmacokinetics as measured by Area Under the drug-concentration curve (AUC)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

  6. Pharmacokinetics as measured by half life (t1/2)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

  7. Pharmacokinetics as measured by renal clearance (CLr)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Clofarabine in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 9 sites in Japan.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 19 Mar 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 Japan. 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 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.

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 (MTD) (time frame: 14 days (1st cycle)). The study lists 7 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 19 Mar 2014.
