Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Proliferation arrest [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Polyploidization [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Terminal differentiation [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 10
Study Start Date: July 2009
Primary Completion Date: August 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether megakaryocyte differentiation agents comprising a Rho kinase inhibitor and a JAK3 inhibitor can lead to proliferation arrest, polyploidization, and terminal differentiation of blasts in specimens from patients with Down syndrome and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.

OUTLINE: Cryopreserved specimens are cultured and treated in vivo (in mice) and in vitro with megakaryocytic differentiation agents comprising a Rho kinase inhibitor and a JAK3 inhibitor.
