Sponsor: Cancer and Leukemia Group B
Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003694
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of homoharringtonine plus low-dose cytarabine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.


Condition Intervention Phase
Leukemia
Drug: cytarabine
Drug: omacetaxine mepesuccinate
Phase II

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Newly Diagnosed Patients With BCR/ABL (+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treated With Combined Homoharringtonine (NSC# 141633) and Low-Dose Cytarabine

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: December 1998
Primary Completion Date: August 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the hematologic and cytogenetic response rate of newly diagnosed patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia treated with homoharringtonine and low dose cytarabine. II. Assess the toxicity of this combination regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive cytarabine and homoharringtonine concurrently by continuous intravenous infusion for 7 days. Courses repeat every 28 days. Patients receive a minimum of 9 courses of therapy in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Patients who are major cytogenetic responders at 9 months may continue therapy or switch to interferon. Minor cytogenetic responders are switched to interferon, and nonresponders are removed from therapy and given the option to switch to interferon. Patients are followed every 6 months for 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue up to 60 patients in 1.5 years.
