Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia or Recurrent Acute Leukemia - Full Text View

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00002693

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 I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and topotecan in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or recurrent acute leukemia.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of carboplatin plus topotecan given as a 5-day continuous infusion in patients with recurrent acute lymphocytic or myeloid leukemia or accelerated or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
Gather preliminary information on the activity of this regimen in these patients.
Examine the pharmacokinetics of topotecan when administered concurrently with carboplatin.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of topotecan. Patients are stratified according to prior bone marrow transplant (BMT) (yes vs no).

Induction: Patients receive carboplatin and topotecan IV 3 times a day on days 1-5. Patients may also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) beginning on day 7 or 14. Retreatment is based on results of marrow exam on day 10-14. Patients with less than 5% blasts undergo a second marrow exam upon blood count recovery or on day 26-30, whichever is earlier. Patients with at least 5% blasts after day 21 receive one more course, in the absence of unacceptable toxicity and at the discretion of the investigator. Patients with no greater than 5% blasts begin G-CSF if blood counts are not recovered, then proceed to consolidation.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of up to 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients with prior BMT will not be entered at any level until 3-6 patients with no prior BMT tolerate that level.

Consolidation (begins around day 42 of last Induction course): Patients with ALL/AML in complete remission (CR) or CML in chronic phase receive 2 additional courses (same doses) 6-8 weeks apart.

Patients experiencing a relapse after CR lasting at least 6 months may receive additional treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-20 patients without and 2-20 patients with prior bone marrow transfer will be accrued for this study over 2-2.5 years.
