Information source: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Leukemia

Intervention: gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Drug); chemotherapy (Procedure)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Active, not recruiting

Sponsored by: Wyeth

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Mark Stanley Berger, MD, Study Chair, Affiliation: Wyeth

Summary

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 CMA-676 in treating older patients who have acute myeloid leukemia that has recurred for the first time following at least 3 months of complete remission.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Study of the Safety of CMA-676 in Treatment of Elderly Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in First Relapse

Study design: Treatment

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of CMA-676 in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first relapse in terms of the number of patients attaining a complete remission. II. Assess the safety of CMA-676 in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is an open label, single arm, multicenter study. Patients receive 1 course of CMA-676 IV over 2 hours on day 1 followed by a 6 hour observation period. Patients may receive 1 additional course of therapy 15 to 28 days later. There is a 28 day follow-up period after the last dose of study medication. Patients are followed for an additional 6 months, then every 3 months for 18 months, and then every 6 months until relapse and/or death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 23-55 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months. Enrollment will then be extended for up to an additional 55 patients.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 60 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: CD33 positive acute myeloid leukemia in first relapse At least 3 months of complete remission No history of a secondary leukemia evolving from a known prior myelodysplastic syndrome or resulting from exposure to chemotherapy or toxins No active CNS leukemia
