  • Ages 60 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age > 60 years
  • A diagnosis of AML based on WHO classification (>20% myeloblasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow)
  • No previous treatment with chemotherapy for AML, other than hydroxyurea. Previous treatment with hypomethylating agents is acceptable
  • Patients must have an ECOG (Zubrod) performance status of 0-2 (see Appendix I).
  • Patients must have adequate hepatic function with a total bilirubin < 1.5 times upper limit normal (ULN) other than cases of Gilbert disease, and ALT and AST < 2.5 times ULN; and adequate renal function as defined by a serum creatinine < 2 times ULN.
  • Clinically significant nonhematologic toxicity after prior therapy has recovered to grade 1 per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 or newer
  • Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. A signed informed consent must be obtained prior to initiation of treatment
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at least 40% by multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)

Who cannot join

  • Patients with known central nervous system (CNS) leukemia by spinal fluid cytology, flow cytometry or imaging. A lumbar puncture is not required unless CNS involvement is clinically suspected. Patients with signs or symptoms of leukemic meningitis or a history of leukemic meningitis must have a negative lumbar puncture within 2 weeks of study enrollment.
  • A diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The study does not require to rule APL out for every subject. However, if there is clinical suspicion for APL, such diagnosis has to be ruled out before initiation of treatment.
  • Active malignancy currently undergoing chemo or radiation therapy. Hormone therapy is acceptable.
  • Active serious infection that at the discretion of treating physician makes patient ineligible for chemotherapy.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Vosaroxin and Cytarabine for the Treatment of Adults 60 Years of Age or Older With Previously Untreated AML

This is a pilot efficacy assessment clinical trial of vosaroxin and cytarabine for the treatment of adults 60 years of age or older with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. A total of 17 evaluable patients are planned to be treated on the study.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective: rate of complete remission (morphologic complete remission or morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery) Secondary objectives: (1) safety of this combination in induction therapy of older patients previously unexposed to intensive chemotherapy; (2) progression-free survival; (3) length of stay in hospital for induction; (4) 30- and 60-day mortality rate.

The treatment period will include up to 4 cycles of treatment (induction 1, induction 2, consolidation 1, and consolidation 2). In each cycle, the first day of study treatment will be considered day 1.

  • Each cycle will include vosaroxin treatment on days 1 and 4 (total of 2 days) and cytarabine treatment on days 1-5 (total of 5 days) followed by a variable interval required to achieve hematologic recovery, defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000 cells/L.
  • Up to 2 cycles of consolidation treatment may be completed by eligible patients in remission (morphologic complete remission or morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery) if safety parameters are met.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Complete Remission

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Procedure or Procedure Related Adverse Events

    Number of unique patients who had a procedure or treatment related (possible, probable or definite) adverse events. (graded per NCI CTC v4.0)

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vosaroxin and Cytarabine in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Hamid Sayar at 2 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 8 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

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?

Rate of Complete Remission (time frame: 2 months). 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 20 Sep 2017.
