Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized pilot trial studies how well higher or lower dose cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone work in treating medically less fit patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myeloid neoplasm. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone at higher or lower dose may work better in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate the feasibility of randomizing medically less fit adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or analogous myeloid neoplasms to either intensive or non-intensive induction and post remission chemotherapy.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate the attitude of patients and physicians toward randomization and explore reasons for treatment preference.

  2. To evaluate whether the ability to assess fitness for intensive chemotherapy can be improved by an augmented treatment-related mortality (TRM) score that includes additional (co-morbidity) factors, and to compare the ability of physicians and the prediction algorithm(s) to assess the likelihood of early death.

  3. To compare, within the limits of a pilot study, response, duration of response, and survival between patients receiving intensive and those receiving non-intensive chemotherapy.

  4. To describe the impact of treatment intensity on quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML.

  5. To describe the impact of treatment intensity on medical resource utilization and care cost of patients undergoing chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML.

OUTLINE: Patients agreeable to randomization are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Patients not agreeable to randomization receive treatment based on their preference.

ARM I (HIGHER-DOSE):

INDUCTION: Patients receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) on days 0-5, higher dose cladribine intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1-5, higher dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and higher dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 2 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II (LOWER-DOSE):

INDUCTION: Patients receive G-CSF SC on days 0-5, lower dose cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, lower dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5, and lower dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 6 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 5 years.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Feasibility Defined as Proportion of Patients Willing to be Randomized to Either Intensive or Non-intensive Induction and Post Remission Chemotherapy [At end of enrollment]

      Randomizing patients to either intensive or non-intensive induction and post remission chemotherapy will be considered feasible if the true proportion of patients willing to be randomized is 60% or higher.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Event-free Survival [Up to 5 years]

      Will be determined by peripheral blood count and bone marrow evaluation and categorized according to criteria recommended by International Working Groups.

    2. Medical Complications [Up to 5 years]

      Information on medical complications (e.g. need for intensive care unit (ICU) level care, length of ICU stay, neutropenic fever, documented infections, bleeding, reasons for hospitalization) will be collected from the medical records from the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA).

    3. Medical Resource Utilization [Up to 5 years]

      Information on use of medical resources (e.g. platelet transfusions; days of IV antimicrobial therapy, total hospital length of stay) will be collected from the medical records from the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA).

    4. Overall Survival [Up to 5 years]

      Will be assessed for all patients. Will be determined by peripheral blood count and bone marrow evaluation and categorized according to criteria recommended by International Working Groups.

    5. Quality of Life as Measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 [Up to 12 months]

      Will be measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30. Exploratory, descriptive, and observational methods will be used.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame AEs were collected for the duration that each patient remained on protocol. If a subject decided to terminate the study early AEs continued to be collected for up to 4 weeks after the treatment was given or until they started a new anti-leukemia therapy, whichever occurred first.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Only grade ≥3 adverse events other than hematologic toxicities were recorded, graded, and reported as appropriate.
    Arm/Group Title ARM I (HIGHER-DOSE): ARM II (LOWER-DOSE):
    Arm/Group Description ARM I (HIGHER-DOSE): INDUCTION: Patients receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) on days 0-5, higher dose cladribine intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1-5, higher dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and higher dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 2 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II (LOWER-DOSE): INDUCTION: Patients receive G-CSF SC on days 0-5, lower dose cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, lower dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5, and lower dose mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION: Patients who achieve complete response (CR)/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) with up to 6 courses of Induction receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
