Dasatinib, Cytarabine, and Idarubicin in Treating Patients With High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Recurrent Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase I/II Study of the Combination of Dasatinib With Chemotherapy for High Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of dasatinib when given together with cytarabine and idarubicin hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is likely to come back or spread. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and idarubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving dasatinib together with cytarabine and idarubicin hydrochloride may be a better treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Of the dose levels studied, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of dasatinib when given in combination with cytarabine and idarubicin for treatment of high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). (Phase I) II. To determine the anti-tumor activity of dasatinib when given in combination with cytarabine and idarubicin, as assessed by complete remission rate (CR) and remission duration. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To document CR and survival outcomes (overall, event-free). (Phase I) II. To estimate the survival probabilities (overall and event-free) and cumulative incidence of relapse/progression. (Phase II) III. To describe and summarize all toxicities by organ and severity. (Phase II) OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of dasatinib, followed by a phase II study. Patients receive cytarabine intravenously (IV) continuously over 168 hours on days 1-7, dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7, and idarubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1-3. Patients with non-responsive disease on day 30 may receive a second course of therapy (re-induction therapy) within 1 week in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then every 2 months for up to 2 years. ;
