De Novo Adult Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients

Phase 2
Conditions
ALL Ph Positive
Registration Number
NCT01361438
Lead Sponsor
Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto
Brief Summary

This study will enroll adult de novo Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients (≥18 years, ≤60 years). Induction treatment will consist of 12 weeks of Dasatinib oral administration (140 mg QD). Patients will initiate treatment with steroids 7 days prior to starting Dasatinib and will continue up to day 31. Patients will continue treatment with Dasatinib up to day 84, except for disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from study.

Detailed Description

This study will enroll adult de novo Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients (≥18 years, ≤60 years). Induction treatment will consist of 12 weeks of Dasatinib oral administration (140 mg QD). Patients will initiate treatment with steroids 7 days prior to starting Dasatinib and will continue up to day 31. Patients will continue treatment with Dasatinib up to day 84, except for disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from study.

Thereafter:

* patients in hematological and molecular CR will receive a post-remissional treatment consisting of Dasatinib alone for a 6 months period

* patients in hematological CR with persistence of molecular disease will be allografted or, if not eligible or a donor is not available, treated with 2 cycles of a Clofarabine-Cyclophosphamide schedule.

After allograft:

* MRD negative patients (i.e. in CHR and PCR negative) will receive a 6 months Dasatinib maintenance treatment;

* MRD positive patients (i.e. in CHR and PCR positive) will receive Dasatinib as maintenance treatment until relapse or progression.

Patients not transplanted and treated with Clofarabine/Cyclophosphamide will also receive Dasatinib as maintenance treatment until relapse or progression.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Impaired cardiac function, including any one of the following:

    • LVEF <45% as determined by MUGA scan or echocardiogram.
    • Complete left bundle branch block.
    • Use of a cardiac pacemaker.
    • ST depression of >1mm in 2 or more leads and/or T wave inversions in 2 or more contiguous leads.
    • Congenital long QT syndrome.
    • History of or presence of significant ventricular or atrial arrhythmia.
    • Clinically significant resting bradycardia (<50 beats per minute).
    • QTc >450 msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula).
    • Right bundle branch block plus left anterior hemiblock, bifascicular block.
    • Myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to starting Dasatinib.
    • Angina pectoris.
    • Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, history of labile hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen).
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of Dasatinib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection).

  • Use of therapeutic warfarin.

  • Acute or chronic liver or renal disease considered unrelated to leukemia.

  • Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol.

  • Active uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment).

  • Treatment with any hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g., G-CSF, GMCSF) ≤1 week prior to starting study drug.

  • Patients who are currently receiving treatment with any of the medications listed in "Appendix H" and the treatment cannot be either discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug. The medications listed in "Appendix H" have the potential to prolong the QT interval.

  • Patients who have received any antileukemic agents and treatments including steroids. for more than 14 days including 7 days pretreatment that is part of the protocol.

  • Patients who have received any investigational drug in the last 2 weeks.

  • Patients who have undergone major surgery ≤2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

  • Patients who are pregnant or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hrs prior to administration of Dasatinib. Post-menopausal women must be amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug.

  • Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory).

  • Patients with a history of another primary malignancy that is currently clinically significant or currently requires active intervention.

  • Non compliant to oral medication patients.

  • Significant pleural effusion on baseline chest X-Ray (CXR) or pericardial effusion on baseline echocardiogram.

  • Use of H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors.
