BI 2536 Infusional Treatment in Patients Over 60 Years of Age With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

April 30, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

An Open, Randomised Clinical Phase I/IIa Trial to Investigate the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Three-week Courses of a Single Dose i.v. BI 2536 on Day 1 in Comparison to Single Doses i.v. BI 2536 on Days 1, 2 and 3 in Patients Over 60 Years of Age With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

The present trial will be performed to determine the MTD and to evaluate the efficacy of BI 2536 in the treatment of elderly patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Different schedules will be compared to identify the better dosing schedule for the further development programme of BI 2536. Dose escalation starting with the maximum tolerated dose previously determined in patients with advanced solid cancers will be performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose for AML patients.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
71

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

60 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female patients older than 60 years of age

  • Leukocyte count <= 25,000 /mcl (25 x 10e9/Liter)
  • Patient not eligible for intensive treatment options
  • Life expectancy >= 2 months
  • Eastern co-operative oncology group performance score of 2 or less
  • Signed written informed consent consistent with international conference on harmonisation - good clinical practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Hypersensitivity to the trial drug or the excipients
  • Secondary malignancy requiring therapy
  • Known central nervous system involvement
  • Aspartate amino transferase (AST) or alanine amino transferase (ALT) greater than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal, or AST or ALT greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal in case of known liver involvement
  • Bilirubin greater than 1.5 mg/dl (> 26 mcmol/l, SI unit equivalent)
  • Serum creatinine greater than 2.0 mg/dl
  • Concomitant intercurrent illness, which would compromise the evaluation of efficacy or safety of the trial drug, e.g. active severe infection, unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia
  • Psychiatric illness or social situation that would limit compliance with trial requirements
  • Concomitant therapy, which is considered relevant for the evaluation of the efficacy or safety of the trial drug
  • Chemotherapy (except hydroxyurea) or immunotherapy or treatment with any other investigational drug within the past four weeks prior to treatment with the trial drug

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
Time Frame
Maximum tolerated dose Best objective response
Time Frame: 3 weeks, throughout the study period
3 weeks, throughout the study period

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
Time Frame
Event free survival, Overall survival, Remission duration, BI 2536 plasma concentrations, Incidence and intensity of adverse events graded according to CTCAE, PD, Incidence of DLT
Time Frame: throughout the study period

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
