Sponsored by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Information provided by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00413166
  Purpose

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if starting arsenic trioxide (ATO) therapy on Day 1 rather than Day 10 is more effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed APL. Researchers also want to learn if theophylline can help to control APL.


Condition Intervention
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Drug: All-Trans Retinoic Acid
Drug: Arsenic Trioxide
Drug: Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin
Drug: Theophylline

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: Treatment of APL With All-Trans Retinoic Acid, and Arsenic +/- Gemtuzumab and Theophylline

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess if the following will improve CR rate w/o increasing toxicity in high-risk untreated APL: arsenic trioxide D1, rather than D10, of therapy, + theophylline, and administration of gemtuzumab ozogamicin if WBC rises to > 30,000 after treatment star [ Time Frame: 3/2009 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: September 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: March 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A diagnosis of APL based on the presence of the PML-RAR alpha fusion gene. Documentation can be done either cytogenetically (the t (15;17) is found, as a consequence of the formation of the fusion gene) or molecularly (PCR test for t (15;17), or a positive "POD" test (12).
  • Provision of written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Cannot be in first trimester of pregnancy (ATRA is teratogenic)
  • QTC interval must not be greater than 480 milliseconds.
  • Taking any drugs known to prolong the QT interval. Any patient taking them who has a baseline heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute at rest would have an EKG to evaluate for QTc prolongation, if the QTc is above the limit of 480 msec then the patient would be given an option to be evaluated by cardiology.
