Ixabepilone in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoproliferative Disorders

June 21, 2013 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Multicenter Phase II Study Of BMS 247550 (Epothilone B Analogue) In Indolent Lymphoproliferative Disorders

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ixabepilone in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory lymphoproliferative disorders.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the frequency and duration of complete and partial response rates for patients with relapsed or refractory indolent lymphoproliferative disorders treated with ixabepilone.

Secondary

  • Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 1 hour weekly for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-1.5 years.
