Lenalidomide and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

October 25, 2018 updated by: David Iberri, Stanford University

A Phase I Study of Lenalidomide Therapy Prior to Re-induction Chemotherapy With Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Cytarabine (MEC) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of lenalidomide when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of acute myeloid leukemia by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide and combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide when used in combination with mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, and cytarabine (MEC) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

II. To determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of this combination in this patient population.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether the combination of lenalidomide priming prior to re-induction chemotherapy with MEC has clinical activity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide.

LENALIDOMIDE PRIMING: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) for 5 or 7 days.

RE-INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive etoposide intravenously (IV) over 1 hour, cytarabine IV over 3 hours, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-5. Patients failing to achieve blast count < 5% at 21 days may receive a second course of induction therapy. Patients achieving complete remission proceed to lenalidomide priming.

LENALIDOMIDE PRIMING: Within 4-6 weeks, patients receive lenalidomide PO for 5 or 7 days and then proceed to consolidation therapy.

CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive etoposide IV over 1 hour, cytarabine IV over 3 hours, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-4. Treatment repeats every 28-35 days for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 6 months.

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.

  • Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 - 14 days and again within 24 hours prior to prescribing lenalidomide for cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days as required by RevAssist) and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide; FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing; men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must not undergo concomitant radiotherapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy; patient must not be in concurrent study with other investigational agents
  • Patients who have received prior lenalidomide therapy are not eligible for this study; further there should be at least a 14-day window from the patient's last prior therapy before initiation of treatment on clinical trial
  • Have other severe concurrent disease or serious organ dysfunction involving the heart, kidney, liver or other organ system that may place the patient at undue risk to undergo treatment
  • Have significant, uncontrolled active infection
  • Pregnant or nursing patients will be excluded from the study
