About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of the Human Pharmacokinetics and Cardiac Safety of Elacytarabine

The purpose of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and cardiac properties of elacytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). The efficacy and tolerability of elacytarabine will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Elacytarabine is an investigational drug which is not commercially available. It consists of a fatty acid that is connected to cytarabine which is commonly used in treatment of AML. Due to the connection to a fatty acid, elacytarabine might have an increased uptake in blast cells and thereby increased efficacy.

The characterisation of the pharmacokinetics of an investigational drug, as well as the cardiac safety are essential. The PK of both elacytarabine and its metabolites will be assessed at defined timepoints before, during and after infusion. The cardiac safety of elacytarabine will be evaluated by triplicate ECG recordings at the same time points as the PK assessments.

Elacytarabine will be given as a continuous infusion for 5 days. The patients may continue with further courses of elacytarabine as long as the patient benefits from treatment with elacytarabine.

What participants receive

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

  • Elacytarabine for infusionDrug

    Also called CP-4055

    Elacytarabine 2000 mg/m2/d will be administered as a continuous intravenous infusion (CIV) in a d 1-5 q3w schedule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterise the pharmacokinetics of elacytarabine in patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

    Collection of pheripheral blood samples at specified time points during first week of the treatment course for PK analyses

    Measured: During first week of treatment course

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Investigate the activity of elacytarabine measured as remission rate (CR + CRi)

    Bone marrow and/or blood examination

    Measured: After each course

  2. Number of patients with Adverse Events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Continuously during study

  3. Evaluate the cardiac safety of elacytarabine with focus on the QT/QTc intervals

    Triplicate 12-lead ECG assessments will be done at specified time points before, during and after infusion

    Measured: During the first week of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Elacytarabine for infusion in people with Relapsed/Refractory AML, run by Clavis Pharma at 6 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 23 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain, United Kingdom. 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?

Characterise the pharmacokinetics of elacytarabine in patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (time frame: During first week of treatment course). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01258816, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Sep 2013.
