Phase I Dose-Escalation Trial of Clofarabine Followed by Escalating Doses of Fractionated Cyclophosphamide in Children With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemias (POE07-01)

February 13, 2018 updated by: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
This is a Phase I study designed to determine the MTD and assess the toxicity associated with clofarabine followed by fractionated cyclophosphamide in patients > 1 year of age or < 21 years of age with relapsed or refractory acute leukemias. There will be 25 to 35 patients enrolled. Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients each will receive escalated doses of clofarabine followed by fractionated cyclophosphamide until the MTD is reached. There will be no intra-patient dose escalation. Single-agent cyclophosphamide will be administered by 2-hour IVI on Day 0 of cycle 1. On Days 1, 2, and 3 and Days 8, 9, and 10 clofarabine will be administered by IVI 2 hours before each dose of cyclophosphamide (see the treatment schema below). A cycle is defined as 28 days.

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

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 (Anticipated)

Enrollment

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

1 year to 21 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 for adolescent/young adult patients.
  • Lansky Performance Index > 50 for pediatric patients less than age 10 years.
  • Laboratory values obtained < 7 days prior to receiving study treatment:
  • Total bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL unless elevated due to hemolysis. The conjugated serum bilirubin prior to study entry must be within the normal range.
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) < 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum creatinine < 1.0 mg/dL in adolescent/young adults (patients 12 to 17 years of age). For pediatric patients with serum creatinine above the ULN, creatinine clearance > 90 ml/min/1.73m2 calculated using the Schwartz formula may be enrolled. Collected creatinine clearance may be substituted.

Patients 18 years and older (Adult population): Serum creatinine <1.0 mg/dL; if serum creatinine >1.0 mg/dL, then the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) must be >60 mL/min/1.73 m2

  • Cardiac function must be normal per the institution normal as measured by echocardiogram (ECHO) within 7 days.
  • Patients should have no evidence of myositis as detected by abnormal serum creatine kinase and/or myoglobin.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No chemotherapy, radiation, or major surgery within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug except for 5-azacytidine, thalidomide, hydroxyurea, imatinib (Gleevec), and interferon which must be discontinued at least 3 days before study entry and the patient should have recovered from the toxic side effects of such therapy. In the instance of progressive disease, anti-leukemia therapy may have been administered within the 2-week period as long but the subject should have recovered from the toxic effects of that therapy. Also, intrathecal therapy may be administered within the 2-week period for subjects with CNS disease.
  • Patients who have had an allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
  • Patients must have discontinued all growth factors, except Procrit (epoetin), at least 1 week before study.
  • Patients with known HIV positive status or AIDS.
  • Patients with known active Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or cirrhosis.
  • History of severe coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months, arrhythmias other than atrial flutter or fibrillation requiring medication, or uncontrolled congestive heart failure.
  • Patients with active uncontrolled infection, fever of infection, or evidence for progressive disease by CT scans of the lungs, sinuses, or abdomen. Patients who are on antimicrobial therapy and stable, CT scans must have been stable for 4 weeks, may be enrolled but there must be no evidence of an active infection. Patients with fever due to leukemia may be enrolled.
  • Pregnant or lactating patients. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days before study entry.

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
