  Purpose

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of rebeccamycin analog in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast phase. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as rebeccamycin analog, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum tolerated dose of becatecarin [ Time Frame: 21 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Graded using the NCI CTCAE version 3.0.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Survival [ Time Frame: From date of first study drug administration to the date of death of the patients, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to progression [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug administration to the date that the patient is withdrawn because of clinical or radiographic progressive disease, or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to treatment failure [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug administration to the date of withdrawal from the study for any reason other than study closure, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the date of first objective response to the date of progression, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to response [ Time Frame: From the date of first study drug administration until the first objective documentation of response, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment (becatecarin)
Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue (XL119) IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR receive 1 additional course beyond CR. Patients achieving a PR or HI receive 2 additional courses beyond PR or HI. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of XL119 until the 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.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of rebeccamycin analogue (XL119) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic phase.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue (XL119) IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 1 additional course beyond CR. Patients achieving a partial response (PR) or hematologic improvement (HI) receive 2 additional courses beyond PR or HI. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of XL119 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.
