Arsenic Trioxide in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

May 16, 2018 updated by: Stanford University

A Phase II Study of Arsenic Trioxide in Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Mutated Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) Gene

This phase II trial studies how well arsenic trioxide works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the complete remission rate of relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with Mutated Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) gene.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the duration of remission in these patients. II. Determine the in vivo biological effect of arsenic trioxide in AML with mutated NPM1.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive arsenic trioxide intravenously (IV) over 1-2 hours daily for up to 45 days. Patients achieving complete remission, receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-2 hours daily 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
