NCT ID: NCT02450877 Completed - Clinical trials for Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute

A Study of Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacodynamics of Azacitidine in Children and Young Adults With Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Start date: August 12, 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, Phase 2 study that will be run in 2 parts: a safety run-in part to determine the dose of azacitidine and then a second part to determine the efficacy of that dose in children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia in molecular relapse after their first complete remission. Indication Treatment of children and young adults with molecular relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after first complete remission (CR1). Objectives Primary Objectives Safety Run-in Part To establish a safe and tolerable dose of azacitidine to be used in the randomized part of the study. Randomized Part To evaluate the effect of azacitidine treatment in AML subjects at molecular relapse after CR1 when compared to no treatment with regard to the progression-free rate (PFR) at Day 84 (±4 days) post randomization. Secondary Objectives Safety Run-in Part To establish azacitidine plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters in subjects with molecular relapse AML after CR1 and to assess efficacy. Randomized Part To evaluate the safety, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of azacitidine treatment in subjects with molecular relapse AML after CR1. Study Design The population of this trial consists of children and young adults with AML who achieved a complete response (CR) with molecular remission, defined as Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) less than 5 x 10-4, following their initial induction therapy and who subsequently have a molecular relapse (defined as increase in MRD level by at least 1 log [10-fold] to a level greater than or equal to 5 x 10-4 despite a normal percentage [<5%] of myeloblasts in the bone marrow [BM] aspirate and peripheral blood [PB], and in the absence of proven histological extramedullary relapse). Eligible subjects have a documented diagnosis of AML with at least one of the following molecular aberrations t(8;21), RUNX1-RUNX1T1, inv(16), CBFb/MYH11, t(9;11), MLL-AF9, NPM1 mutation, or FLT3-ITD mutation. Enrolled/randomized pediatric subjects will be followed with regular MRD testing in order to detect a molecular relapse. In the safety run-in part, up to 12 subjects aged 3 months to less than 18 years will be enrolled. Six subjects will be enrolled in the first cohort of 100 mg/m2 azacitidine administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1 to 7 of a 28-day cycle. Six additional subjects could be enrolled into a second cohort of 75 mg/m2 azacitidine administered IV on Days 1 to 7 of a 28-day cycle depending on the safety and tolerability results of the 100 mg/m2 cohort. In the randomized part of the study at least 68 subjects will be randomized (or more depending on whether at least 64 subjects are evaluable for the primary endpoint), with at least 60 of the subjects being less than 18 years of age. Both parts of the study, the safety run-in part and the randomized part, will contain 3 periods: the screening period, the treatment period and the follow-up period. The screening period will last no more than 10 days in the safety run-in part after which the subjects may be enrolled and treated. In the randomized part, the screening period will last an indefinite amount of time until detection of a molecular relapse in the PB followed by confirmation of the relapse in both PB and BM aspirate, at which point the subject may then be randomized. Subjects will be treated with azacitidine (safety run-in part) or in accordance to their assigned treatment arm (randomized part). Upon discontinuation from the treatment period, subjects will enter into the follow-up period which will last up to 2 years from last patient enrolled/randomized.

NCT ID: NCT02449590 Completed - Blood Pressure Clinical Trials

Onion, Cardiovascular Risk Markers and Gene Expression

M197
Start date: August 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

AIMS: The aims are to investigate whether: - Increased intake of onion (powder) affects plasma lipid profile, blood pressure, indices of insulin sensitivity and blood coagulation. - Increased intake of onion (powder) affects the expression/activity of enzymes in the defence against foreign substances, e.g. reactive oxygen species, and whether polymorphisms in some of the involved genes may modulate the effect. - Polymorphisms involved in the metabolism/effect of bioactive components in onion modulate the excretion of metabolites or modulate some of the outcome variables in the study. Other aims are to try to identify biomarkers for onion consumption in plasma, urine and feces and to investigate whether onion affects the secretion of fat and bile acids. HYPOTHESES: The investigators hypothesize that: - 2 weeks of increased onion intake will improve the plasma lipid profile - 2 weeks of increased onion intake will increase the metabolism of potentially harmful substances (such as ROS and free radicals) through a change in the expression or activity of certain enzymes. - That these effects are modulated by common gene variants (polymorphisms)

NCT ID: NCT02449577 Completed - Insulin Resistance Clinical Trials

Identification of Biomarkers for Acute Intake of Beer and Alcohol and Acute Effects on Plasma and Insulin Response

METABEER
Start date: May 2013
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to identify biomarkers for acute intake of beer and alcohol in individuals with a high or low habitual intake. Furthermore, we wish to identify compounds and metabolites in different types of beer and alcohol, which can serve as compliance markers for intake under the test conditions (blood tests and urine samples). We also wish to determine the acute effects of these beverages on plasma glucose and insulin response, compared to regular soda.

NCT ID: NCT02448667 Completed - Clinical trials for Glycogen Storage Disease Type III

Energy Supplements to Improve Exercise Tolerance in Metabolic Myopathies

Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients suffering from the metabolic myopathy Glycogen Storage Disease type IIIa (GSDIIIa) have a problem releasing sugar stored in cells that is needed for energy production. This causes several systemic impairments, but only recently have the exercise-related symptoms in the muscles been examined. A previous study showed signs that intravenous infusion of glucose relieves some of these symptoms. The purpose of this study is to investigate in a randomized and placebo-controlled fashion whether oral ingestion of sugar can alleviate muscular symptoms in patients with GSDIIIa.

NCT ID: NCT02447666 Completed - Clinical trials for Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Study With Azacitidine in Pediatric Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML)

Start date: September 15, 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Indication Treatment of pediatric subjects with newly diagnosed advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Objectives Primary Objective The primary objective is to assess the treatment effect on response rate (MDS: either complete remission [CR], partial remission [PR], or marrow CR; JMML: either clinical complete remission [cCR] or clinical partial remission [cPR]); at Cycle 3 Day 28 (each cycle is 28 days) and to compare against standard therapy using a matched-pairs analysis of historical data. Secondary Objective The secondary objective is to further evaluate safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of azacitidine in this subject population. Study Design This is a prospective, open-label, Phase 2 study consisting of 2 parallel experimental arms, one for each disease group: MDS and JMML. Each arm is designed based on Simon's Optimal 2 stage study design. The sample size has been calculated to allow evaluation of the response rate at 28 day-Cycle 3 Day 28 in each of the 2 disease groups. Each of the experimental arms will also individually be compared against a historical control arm using data retrospectively collected from the European Working Group of MDS in childhood (EWOG-MDS) registry by means of a matched-pairs analysis; matched for predefined subject baseline characteristics defined before any results from this study are known post Stage 1. If matched pair is not viable then other methodologies will be explored to evaluate and compare response rates reported in literature and also in registry database Twenty subjects with MDS and 35 JMML subjects evaluable for the primary endpoint (ie, subjects that receive at least 1 dose of investigational product [IP]) will be enrolled at approximately 45 centers in Europe. Each experimental arm has 1 interim analysis planned (at the end of Stage 1). If, during Stage 1 evaluation, less than 2 subjects are observed with a CR, PR, or marrow CR after 3 months of azacitidine in the first 9 subjects with MDS, then enrollment will be stopped. Similarly, if less than 3 subjects are observed with a cPR or cCR after 3 months of azacitidine in the first 18 subjects with JMML, then enrollment will be stopped.
