  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because of potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with IRX5183, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with IRX5183.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of IRX5183 in Relapsed and Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of IRX5183 in 1) patients with relapsed and/or refractory AML and 2) patients with high-risk MDS or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).

Read the detailed description

This research is being done to learn about the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, IRX5183, in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). IRX5183 is a derivative of Vitamin A. IRX5183 is a drug that is designed to cause cancer cells to mature and then die. It is thought that it will stop the uncontrolled growth of leukemia cells.

These are 2 parts to this study. The purpose of the first part is to test the safety of IRX5183 at different dose levels. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on AML or MDS. Once the investigators figure out the best and safest dose of IRX5183, the investigators will enter the second part of the study using this dose. The purpose of the second part is to see if IRX5183 is effective as a treatment for AML or MDS. To date, IRX5183 has been used in about 25 people.

The first part of the study is called a "Phase I" study. Phase I studies use drugs starting at low doses and slowly increase the amounts of the study drugs that are given to people until the side effects of the drugs are too high to give more. This means that not all people in the study will get the same dose of IRX5183. Doses at the beginning of the study will be lower than doses at the end of the study. Because of the design of the study, some people may get doses that are too low to have an effect, and other people will probably get doses that cause side effects.

People with AML, MDS, or CMML that has 1) not responded to standard therapy or 2) has returned after a previous response may join.

What participants receive

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

  • IRX5183Drug

    IRX5183 will be administered orally daily on days 1-28 of each cycle for 2 cycles of induction. In the phase I part of the study, there will be 3 dose levels (dose level 1 [DL1] with 50 mg, DL2 with 75 mg, and DL3 with 100 mg), with 1 additional dose level to be only used if excessive toxicity noted at the DL1. There will be no intra-patient dose escalation. A phase II portion of the study was originally planned, but the study was terminated prior to phase II enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate safety and tolerability of IRX5183 in phase I using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0, to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

    We will determine DLTs at specified dose levels to determine the RP2D.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Determine the best overall response rate (ORR) per International Working Group (IWG) criteria with the RP2D after at least 2 therapy cycles.

    The primary endpoint of phase II is best ORR per IWG criteria after at least 2 cycles of therapy. If enough patients achieve an objective response, enrollment will continue to a second stage, per a Simon's 2 stage design.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Measure trough plasma levels of IRX5183 on day 1 and day 14.

    To determine pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of IRX5183, we will obtain trough peripheral blood samples during the first cycle of therapy.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Measure peak plasma/bone marrow levels of IRX5183 on day 1 and day 14.

    To determine PK parameters of IRX5183, we will obtain peak peripheral blood/bone marrow samples during the first cycle of therapy.

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Determine flow markers of differentiation in the peripheral blood and/or bone marrow.

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Determine changes in cytogenetics in the peripheral blood and bone marrow before and after treatment with IRX5183.

    Measured: 4 years

  5. Determine the time to first and best response, per IWG criteria.

    Measured: 4 years

  6. Determine changes in transfusion requirements following therapy with IRX5183.

    Measured: 4 years

  7. Assess quality of life with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-leukemia (FACT-leu) questionnaire at baseline, after 2 cycles, and after 6 cycles of therapy.

    Measured: 4 years

  8. Determine event-free survival (EFS) for patients treated with IRX5183.

    Measured: 4 years

  9. Determine overall survival (OS) for patients treated with IRX5183.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IRX5183 in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 20 inclusion and 8 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 22 Apr 2019. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study drug supply expired and could not be renewed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluate safety and tolerability of IRX5183 in phase I using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0, to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02749708, 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 22 Apr 2019.
