Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for certified healthcare advice, travels to or professional assistance using a genuine medical doctor. We are not physicians. Always confer with your dr. about Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia Clinical research trials and Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia medical trials happen in hundreds of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually measure the effectualness of new drugs. The intention of the studies / undertakings is to solve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all forms of circumstances, such as Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia. Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the human subjects get treatment for free of charge, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia clinical trial. Participants frequently get the best healthcare available for their Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent physician trips, medical risks (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia



Bortezomib in Treating Young Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Leukemia

For Condition: childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3),childhood chronic myelogenous leukemia,recurrent childhood acute myeloid leukemia,blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,recurrent childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Children's Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating young patients who have refractory or recurrentleukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of bortezomib in children with refractory or recurrent leukemia. - Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. Secondary - Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this drug in these patients. - Determine, preliminarily, the biologic activity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-36 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5-36 months.
