简要总结
RATIONALE: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can cause cancer. Zidovudine is an antiviral drug that acts against the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1. Giving zidovudine, interferon alfa-2b, and PEG-interferon alfa-2b together may stimulate the immune system and slow down or keep the cancer cell from growing.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving zidovudine together with interferon alfa-2b and PEG-interferon alfa-2b works in treating patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
详细描述
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
-
Induction therapy: Patients receive zidovudine IV twice daily on days 1-14, and recombinant interferon alfa-2b IV twice daily on days 3-14. Patients achieving clinical complete response (CR) proceed to part 1 maintenance therapy; patients achieving partial response (PR) receive another 7 days of zidovudine and recombinant interferon alfa-2b and then proceed to part 1 maintenance therapy.
-
Part 1 maintenance therapy: Patients receive oral zidovudine twice daily and PEG-interferon alfa-2b subcutaneously (SC) once weekly, beginning on day 14 or 21 and continue to day 60. Patients are evaluated after completion of part 1 maintenance therapy and proceed to part 2 maintenance therapy.
-
Part 2 maintenance therapy: Patients achieving CR with undetectable clonal disease proceed to group A; patients achieving CR with minimal residual disease (by PCR) or PR proceed to group B.
-
Group A: Patients receive oral zidovudine twice daily and PEG-interferon alfa-2b SC once weekly. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
-
Group B: Patients receive oral zidovudine twice daily and PEG-interferon alfa-2b SC once weekly for 12 weeks and undergo reevaluation. Patients in continued CR with minimal residual disease or stable PR receive oral valproic acid twice daily, PEG-interferon alfa-2b SC once weekly, and oral zidovudine twice daily for 6 months. At that point (month 9) patients with no detectable clonal disease continue their previous treatment, while patients with minimal residual disease receive PEG-interferon alfa-2b SC and oral zidovudine twice daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are collected at baseline, days 1 and 2, and months 3, 6, and 12 for protein, genomic DNA, and RNA analysis. Baseline molecular characteristics of the tumor and tumor response to treatment is assessed.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants Exhibiting NF-kB Inhibition Upon Treatment With AZT in Vivo
时间窗: During 48 hours of first AZT therapy
Number of patients exhibiting NF-kb inhibition upon treatment with AZT in vivo. Investigation of whether AZT functions as an inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) in vivo by analyzing serially collected leukemic samples during the first 48 hours of treatment with AZT only. The investigators will report the number of participants exhibiting NF-kB inhibition upon treatment with AZT in vivo and correlate with response using two-sample t-test.
Number of Patients Achieving Clinical Response to Protocol Therapy Who Lack IRF-4 and/or c-Rel Expression.
时间窗: Up to 12 months post-initiation of protocol therapy
Number of patients achieving clinical response (complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) who lack interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4) or c-Rel biomarker expression. Treatment response was assessed according to the International Consensus Review's adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) consensus report by Tsukasaki et al published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) in 2009. For imaging, Cheson criteria was used to assess response: * Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all clinical, microscopic, and radiographic evidence of disease. All lymph nodes regressed to normal size (≤ 1.5 cm), and previously involved nodes that were 1.1 to 1.5 cm decreased to ≤ 1.0 cm. In addition, abnormally elevated peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) \< 4 x 10\^9 /L. * Partial response (PR): ≥ 50% reduction in measurable disease and abnormal lymphocyte count in peripheral blood. * CR or PR had to persist for a period of at least 4 weeks.
Expressions of c-Rel, IRF-4 and Other Molecular Events in Participants
时间窗: At time of relapse or disease progression, assessed up to 12 months
Expressions of c-Rel, IRF-4 or other molecular events (p53, p16 mutations) including expansion of novel clones obtained at time of relapse will be compared to baseline data using paired t-test.
The Effect of Valproic Acid Therapy on Persistence of Clonal Disease in Patients Who Achieve Clinical Remission
时间窗: 3, 6 and 12 months.
Number of participants achieving a molecular remission after starting valproic acid as evidenced by disappearance of T-cell clonality as measured by gene rearrangement studies using multiplex PCR
Presence of Minimal Residual Disease at 3 and 6 Months of Maintained Remission and at 1 Year Post Initiation of Therapy
时间窗: 3, 6 and 12 months.
Number of participants achieving complete response (CR) with minimal residual disease at 3, 6 and 12 months post-initiation of protocol therapy. Treatment response was assessed according to the International Consensus Review's adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) consensus report by Tsukasaki et al published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) in 2009. For imaging, Cheson criteria was used to assess response: * Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all clinical, microscopic, and radiographic evidence of disease. All lymph nodes regressed to normal size (≤ 1.5 cm), and previously involved nodes that were 1.1 to 1.5 cm decreased to ≤ 1.0 cm. In addition, abnormally elevated peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) \< 4 x 10\^9 /L. * Partial response (PR): ≥ 50% reduction in measurable disease and abnormal lymphocyte count in peripheral blood. * CR or PR had to persist for a period of at least 4 weeks.
次要结局
