Bryostatin 1 and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Relapsed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Leukemia
Registration Number
NCT00017342
Lead Sponsor
Virginia Commonwealth University
Brief Summary

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 combining bryostatin 1 with cytarabine in treating patients who have relapsed primary acute myelogenous leukemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the response rate in patients with primary acute myelogenous leukemia in first relapse treated with bryostatin 1 and high-dose cytarabine.

* Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

* Determine the relapse-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

* Induction: Patients receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 11. Patients also receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours for 4 infusions on days 2-3 and days 9-10.

Patients who achieve a major response receive a second course of induction therapy.

* Consolidation: Patients who achieve complete remission receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 10 and high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours for 2 infusions on days 2 and 9. Treatment continues for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients who achieve a response and subsequently relapse may receive additional induction and consolidation therapy at the discretion of the investigator.

Patients are followed every 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-46 patients will be accrued for this study.
