NOPHO ALL-2008 Pilot Study on Consolidation Therapy for Children and Adolescents With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

November 19, 2016 updated by: Kjeld Schmiegelow, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Phase II Study of Individual 6-mercaptopurine(6MP) Dose Increments in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Receiving High-dose Methotrexate (HDM) and PEG-asparaginase

The present pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) study will explore the toxicity and antileukemic response during the initial 3 months of individualised therapy of children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The investigators will on an individual toxicity-titrated basis attempt to increase the dose intensity of the 6-mercaptopurine used in the two-months post-remission treatment phase of lower risk childhood ALL. This will be performed together with continuous PEG-ASP (every 2nd week) and interspersed HD-MTX (5 g/m^2) every 3rd week. Thus, the trial will also test the feasibility of this particular drug combination.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In addition to the details above we will also explore

  • the relationship of the post-HD-MTX MRD-levels with the dose of 6MP, TPMT-activity, DNA-6TGN, E-6TGN, E-MeMP, E-MTX, and presence of ASP-antibodies,
  • the early development of anti-ASP antibodies during continuous PEG-ASP therapy.

The study could improve the understanding of the pharmacodynamics of the 6MP/HD-MTX interaction in combination with PEG-ASP.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: 6 mercaptopurine arm
All patients received basic daily 6MP (6-mercaptopurine) (25 mg/m^2) and in addition high-dose methotrexate(HDM) every 3rd week (3 times HDM in total) and PEG-asparaginase every 14th day. Patients increased the dose of 6MP 2 weeks after each HDM if if the myelotoxicity had been acceptable. This means 2 increments since the study stopped 2 weeks after the last HDM
Drug: 6-mercaptopurine
Standard dose 25 mg/m^2/day. Can be increased up to 75 mg/m^2/day if the myelosuppression is acceptable (ANC>0.5 T-count >50)
Other Names:
  • PURINETHOL

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Toxicity of Treatment in Terms of Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events or Adverse Events, Reported
Time Frame: 3 months ( 79 days )
Number of participants following the protocol treatment for the full consolidation therapy with toxicity in this pilot study trying to individually titrate 6-mercaptopurine to the highest tolerable level during Consolidation.
3 months ( 79 days )

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incorporation of 6-thioguanine Nucleotides (6TGN) Into Leukocyte DNA, Development of Asparaginase Antibody Production
Time Frame: During the 3 months consolidation therapy
Biweekly bloodsamples during the 3 months are analyzed for 6TGN incorporation into leucocyte DNA. In addition Methylated Mercaptopurine (MeMP) and Erythrocyte-Methotrexate level is measured
During the 3 months consolidation therapy
