简要总结
The main aim of this study is to test the safety of acadesine in patients with B-CLL and see what effects it has on patients and their leukaemia. The study also aims to examine the way acadesine is processed by the body. The study will look at the effects of acadesine in the body and the concentration of the drug and its main by-product (ZMP) in the blood to determine the dose and the frequency of dosing that is likely to be the most effective.
详细描述
This is a Phase I/II, open-label, escalating dose and number of doses study that will involve up to 30-40 patients with B-CLL. A patient who fails to reach their final assessment visit due to reasons other than the occurrence of a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) may be replaced. Eligible patients will be enrolled into Part I or Part II of the study in cohorts of three patients. There will be a requirement to stagger Day 1 dosing between all patients in each cohort by a minimum of 48 hours. In the first part of the study (Part I) patients will receive a single dose of acadesine on Day 1. In the second part of the study (Part II), patients will receive up to 5 doses of treatment over a period of up to 20 days starting on Day 1.
In Part I of the study, the starting dose will be 50 mg/kg given as a 4 hour iv infusion on Day 1 only. Patients will continue to be assessed for safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics for up to three weeks after dosing (to Day 22). The decision to escalate to the next dose in a separate cohort of patients will be based on the assessment of safety, including any DLTs, pharmacokinetic modelling (PKM) of exposure to ZMP and pharmacodynamic response data, where available, by an independent Data Monitoring Board (DMB). A DLT is defined as a Grade 3 or 4 toxicity, which may be local to the injection site or systemic, which is observed within 21 days of dosing and is considered to be related to study drug. The dose will not be escalated if PKM indicates that the exposure to ZMP has reached a plateau.
Dose escalation will continue with each new cohort in accordance with the rules described in the following table. The dose below that at which dose escalation is stopped will be considered the Optimal Biological Dose (OBD) and this dose will be the starting dose used in Part II of the study which will assess repeat dosing with acadesine. The OBD will be reviewed by the DMB prior to the start of Part II of the study.
If a DLT is noted in a given cohort in Part I, the following dose escalation rules will be followed to ascertain the maximum administered dose (MAD). In the unlikely event that a DLT is seen in ≥ 2 patients at the starting dose used in Part I, the study may be resumed with a lower dose if there is adequate evidence of the desired pharmacodynamic effect, ie a reduction in B-cell count, at the starting dose.
Dose escalation in Part I of the study shall follow a modified Fibonacci dose escalation design, with 100% dose escalations allowed until a Grade 2 toxicity that is considered related to treatment is confirmed (as defined by the NCI CTCAE v3.0). If this occurs, future escalations shall then be incremental (67%, 50%, 40%, 33%, etc), until the MAD is confirmed. Intermediate dose levels may be evaluated if indicated by the acquired safety or PK data.
