Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Clinical research trials and Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia



Alemtuzumab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

For Condition: T-cell adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia,acute undifferentiated leukemia,L2 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia,untreated adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia,B-cell adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia,L1 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Cancer and Leukemia Group B , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as alemtuzumab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effect on the body of combining alemtuzumab with combination chemotherapy and its effectiveness in treating patients who have untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the feasibility and toxicity profiles of escalating doses of alemtuzumab during post-remission intensification therapy in patients with untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia. - Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this drug in these patients. - Determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine whether this drug can further reduce minimal residual disease states in these patients. - Correlate pretreatment characteristics (e.g., cytogenetics and molecular changes) with disease-free and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of alemtuzumab. All courses are 28 days in length except courses 3 and 7 which are 42 days. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Patients receive daunorubicin IV over 5-60 minutes on days 1-3; cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1; vincristine IV over 1-2 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; oral dexamethasone on days 1-7 and 15-21; asparaginase subcutaneously (SC) on days 5, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 22; and filgrastim (G-CSF) SC once daily beginning on day 4 and continuing until blood counts recover.* NOTE: *Patients 60 years of age and over do not receive cyclophosphamide and receive dexamethasone on days 1-7 only. - Course 2 (early intensification): After sufficient recovery from course 1, patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1; cytarabine IV over 3 hours on days 1-3; methotrexate intrathecally (IT) on day 1; asparaginase SC on days 15, 18, and 22; and G-CSF once daily beginning on day 4 and continuing until blood counts recover. - After sufficient recovery from course 2, patients receive vincristine IV over 1-2 minutes, methotrexate IV over 3 hours, and methotrexate IT on days 1, 15, and 29; oral methotrexate every 6 hours for 4 doses beginning 6 hours after the start of methotrexate IV infusion on days 1, 15, and 29; oral mercaptopurine on days 1-35; leucovorin calcium IV over 5-10 minutes on days 2, 16, and 30; and oral leucovorin calcium every 6 hours for 8 doses beginning 12 hours after IV leucovorin calcium on days 3 and 4, 17 and 18, and 31 and 32. Patients who have CD52^+ disease as determined by pretreatment immunohistochemistry, and meet all of the following criteria proceed to course 4. - M_0 or M_1 marrow with absolute neutrophil count at least 1,500/mm^3 and platelet count at least 100,000/mm^3 - AST less than 3 times upper limit of normal - Cytomegalovirus polymerase chain reaction negative - No serious infection All other patients proceed to course 5. - Patients receive alemtuzumab SC 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Cohorts of at least 6 patients receive escalating doses of alemtuzumab until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 4 of 6 or 5 of 12 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. - Phase II: Patients receive treatment as in phase I at the MTD of alemtuzumab. - Course 5 (late intensification): Beginning 2-6 weeks after the completion of course 4, patients receive treatment as in course 1 except with dexamethasone on days 1-7 only. - Course 6 (late intensification): After sufficient recovery from course 5, patients receive treatment as in course 2. - Course 7 (CNS intensification): After sufficicient recovery from course 6, patients receive treatment as in course 3. - : After completion of courses 1-7 and in the absence of disease progression, patients receive maintenance therapy. Patients receive oral mercaptopurine daily; vincristine IV over 1-2 minutes on day 1; oral methotrexate once weekly on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; and oral dexamethasone on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 24 months from study entry. For testicular disease at study entry that persists or worsens after 4 weeks of therapy or testicular disease that develops after study therapy has begun, patients undergo testicular radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 13 treatments. Patients with CNS leukemia receive methotrexate IT 1-2 times weekly for 5 weeks and leucovorin calcium IV 24 hours after each methotrexate dose. Patients also undergo cranial radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 12 treatments. Radiotherapy begins on day 5 of course 1 for patients with CNS leukemia at study entry or the day after diagnosis of CNS leukemia for patients who develop disease after study therapy has begun. If remission is achieved, patients continue study therapy and receive methotrexate once monthly for 12 months. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for up to 10 years from study entry. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-36 patients will be accrued for phase I within 5-12 months. A total of 14-35 patients will be accrued for phase II within 4-10 months.
