Clinical Trial Summary

This is a two-part, open-label, Phase I/II study in subjects with relapsed or refractory TdT-positive leukemia for which no standard therapies are expected to result in durable remission.


Clinical Trial Description

In the first phase the Study Objectives are to:

- Define the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) for administration of cordycepin as a 1-hour IV infusion, administered 1 hour following administration of an IV bolus of pentostatin, in subjects with refractory TdT-positive leukemia;

- Determine plasma ADA levels prior to pentostatin infusion and at 60 and 120 minutes after administration of pentostatin;

- Determine the single and multiple dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of cordycepin given 1 hour after a fixed dose of pentostatin;

- Assess cordycepin pharmacodynamics by measurement of blast cell apoptosis from peripheral blood smears;

- Measure and quantitate any clinical responses in refractory TdT-positive leukemia patients following cordycepin/pentostatin administration.

In the second phase, the Study Objectives are to assess the safety, PK, and clinical outcomes of cordycepin in combination with pentostatin, at the RD, in a 20 subject cohort ;
