About this study

The trial will test the effectiveness and toxicity of subcutaneous treatment with one cycle of cladribine in patients with hairy cell leukemia requiring treatment.

They have to be untreated so far or may be pretreated with alpha-interferon.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of remission status will take place 4 months after treatment. In addition, it will be tested whether patients with non-optimal response will have a benefit from a second cycle of cladribine.

Non-optimal response is: patients with detectable residual disease; achievement of partial remission or detectable residual infiltration in the bone marrow.

Being tested
Cladribine s.c. injection, HCL treatment
Keywords
hairy cell leukemia, untreated, cladribine subcutaneous
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Hairy Cell

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Cladribine s.c. injection, HCL treatment in people with Hairy Cell Leukemia, run by University of Giessen at 76 sites in Germany.

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 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 76 sites in Germany. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mathias J Rummel, Prof PhD (+4964198542 ext. 650, mathias.rummel@innere.med.uni-giessen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of the rate of complete remissions after one cycle with subcutaneous cladribine (time frame: 4 months after treatment). 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 22 Aug 2024.
