About this study

Official title: A Phase 1B/2A, Open-label Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Fosciclopirox Alone and In Combination With Cytarabine in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This will be an open-label, Phase 1B/2A, study to characterize the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of fosciclopirox administered alone and in combination with cytarabine in patients with R/R AML with up to two cohorts studied to confirm the efficacy (or futility) of fosciclopirox on the endpoint of disease response.

Initially, 14 evaluable patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1a. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1b. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 1a, based on a review of all available study data, the study may be terminated OR a Cohort 2a may be initiated using the combination of fosciclopirox and cytarabine. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 2a, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 2b. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in the Cohort 2a, the study will be stopped for futility.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open-label, Phase 1B/2A, study to characterize the efficacy, safety, PK, and pharmacodynamics of fosciclopirox administered alone and in combination with cytarabine in patients with R/R AML. There will be up to two cohorts used to confirm the efficacy (or futility) of fosciclopirox on the endpoint of disease response.

Initially, 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1a. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1b. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in the initial Cohort 1a, based on a review of all available data study data, the study may be terminated OR a second cohort (Cohort 2a) may be initiated using the combination of fosciclopirox and cytarabine. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 2a, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 2b. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 2a, the study will be stopped for futility.

If both Cohorts 1a and 2a are initiated, the minimum patient number will be 28 (i.e., treatment with fosciclopirox alone and in combination with cytarabine are futile). The maximum number of patients potentially evaluated is 42 (i.e., the first treatment is futile based upon observations in 14 patients (Cohort 1a), but treatment in Cohort 2a evaluated is positive [14 patients], and Cohort 2b [14 patients] is completed).

Patients in Cohort 1a will initially be treated with fosciclopirox as a single agent. Patients who respond to this treatment, as defined below, may continue to receive treatment cycles of fosciclopirox alone until evidence of disease progression. Patients who do not respond to fosciclopirox alone, as defined below, may be switched to treatment with the combination of fosciclopirox and cytarabine. Patients who respond to the combination treatment may continue to receive treatment cycles of fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine until evidence of disease progression. Patients who do not respond to the combination of fosciclopirox and cytarabine will be discontinued from the study.

Patients enrolled in Cohort 2a (if initiated) will initially be treated with fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine. The first patient to receive this combination will be observed during Cycle 1 (21 days) and for a further 7 days (if they do not continue to Cycle 2) before any further patients are accrued to the combination arm. As above, patients who respond to the combination treatment may continue to receive treatment cycles until evidence of disease progression, and patients who do not respond will be discontinued from the study.

Fosciclopirox will be administered as 900 mg/m2 once daily as a 20-minute intravenous infusion on Days 1 to 5 (D1-D5) of each 21-day treatment cycle (rest days D6-D21). When added to fosciclopirox therapy, cytarabine will be administered as 1 gm/m2 once daily on D1 D5 of each 21-day treatment cycle (rest days D6-D21).

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) response

    Complete remission [CR], CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi], partial remission [PR], or morphologic leukemia-free state [MLFS] at the conclusion of the first treatment cycle OR Nonprogression at the end of the first treatment cycle (defined as no increase in bone marrow or peripheral blood blast count) followed by CR, CRi, PR, or MLFS at the conclusion of the second treatment cycle

    Measured: Screening through Day 42

  2. Frequency and type of treatment-related AEs

    Adverse events as assessed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

    Measured: From Informed Consent Form through Follow Up visit (30±5 days after last dose of study drug)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fosciclopirox and Fosciclopirox + Cytarabine in people with Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Recurrent Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by CicloMed LLC 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 16 inclusion and 14 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 12 Feb 2024. 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?

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 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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: Discontinued). 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?

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) response (time frame: Screening through Day 42). 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?
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 12 Feb 2024.
