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.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with AML, except those with APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia), failing a single standard dose cytarabine based frontline induction regimen. The diagnosis of refractory AML is based on the presence of either > 10% blasts in marrow or blood or 5-10% blasts in either site together with cytopenia (Hb < 10 g/dL, or platelets < 100 x 109/L, or neutrophil count < 1.0 x 109/L).
  • Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤2.
  • Male, or female patients who are post-menopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 months), or surgically or biologically sterile.
  • Patients must have adequate organ and immune function as indicated by the following laboratory values:

Parameter Laboratory Values Serum creatinine; ≤2.0 mg/dL (≤ 177 μmol/L Total Bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL (≤ 34 μmol/L) AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤3 X ULN

  • The patient must understand, be able and willing and likely to fully comply with study procedures, including scheduled follow-up, and restrictions.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical evidence of ongoing grade 3 or 4 non-hematological toxicities from the initial standard dose cytarabine-based induction chemotherapy
  • Patients with a prior history of peripheral neuropathy of grade 2 or higher.
  • Clinical evidence of active CNS leukemic involvement.
  • Active and uncontrolled infection. Patients with an infection who are under active treatment with antibiotics and whose infections are controlled may be entered to the study.
  • Current evidence of invasive fungal infection (blood or tissue culture).
  • Current evidence of an active second malignancy except for non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • Uncontrolled medical problems, unrelated to the malignancy, or of sufficient severity that in the opinion of the investigator, impair a patient's ability to give informed consent or unacceptably reduce the safety of the proposed treatment.
  • Neurological or psychiatric disorders that would interfere with consent or study follow-up.
  • Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the study drugs [or closely related compounds] or any of their stated ingredients. Study drugs being the antisense, cytarabine and idarubicin.
  • History of alcohol or other substance abuse within the last year.
  • Use of another investigational agent within the last 14 days prior to enrolment. Patients who have received a previous antisense agent in the last 90 days will be excluded.
  • Female patients who are pregnant, lactating, or with a positive pregnancy test at screening must be excluded.

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
To determine if AEG35156 can enhance the CR and CR with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) rate and duration of high-dose cytarabine and idarubicin in AML following failure of a single standard dose cytarabine based frontline induction regimen.
Time Frame: 1 year
1 year

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
To determine if AEG35156 can enhance overall survival, is safe and measured (Pharmacokinetic) following high-dose cytarabine and idarubicin in AML following failure of a single standard dose cytarabine based frontline induction regimen.
Time Frame: 1 year
1 year

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. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
