Descriptive Information Fields
Brief Title  Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Aggressive Lymphoma With Relapse in Central Nervous System With Depocyt
Official Title  A Phase-2 Clinical Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Depocyt (Cytarabine Liposome Injection) for the Treatment of CNS Relapse in Adult Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Very Aggressive Lymphoma
Brief Summary

Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or very aggressive lymphoma and documented isolated CNS relapse or CNS relapse combined with other relapse sites should receive therapy with intrathecal DepoCyte at least once. Treatment may be repeated during induction phase each 2 weeks and monthly during maintenance phase. The study aim is to replace the usual 2-3 weekly applications of intrathecal triple therapy with one application of DepoCyte. Primary objective is the response rate after one application of DepoCyte. Further objectives are the compilation of data regarding safety and toxicity
