Lenalidomide and AT-101 in Treating Patients With Relapsed B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid and to see how well they work in treating patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells. R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and causing the cells to die. Giving lenalidomide with R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-CLL. - Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide in combination with AT-101 (R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid). (Phase I) II. To assess the overall response rate of lenalidomide in combination with AT-101. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To assess the overall response rates of lenalidomide in combination with AT-101 at 6 months and 12 months.
-
To evaluate time to progression (TTP) for the combination of lenalidomide + AT-101.
-
To evaluate the safety of this combination in patients with relapsed B-CLL.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
- To conduct correlative studies for further understanding of the mechanism of antitumor activity of lenalidomide and lenalidomide + AT-101.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study of lenalidomide followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Beginning in course 3, patients also receive AT-101 PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 11 courses (49-56 days for course 12 or last course of treatment) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximum Tolerated Dose [Up to day 28 of course 2]
Maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with AT-101, defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose limiting toxicity in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 of a maximum of 6 new patients) (Phase I)
- Overall Response Rate (Complete Response [CR], CR With Incomplete Marrow Recovery, Clinical CR, Nodular Partial Response [PR], and PR) (Phase II) [Up to 2 years]
The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to the Grading Scale for Hematologic Adverse Events in CLL Studies (Phase I) [Up to 2 years]
The number and severity of all adverse events (overall and by dose-level) will be tabulated and summarized in this patient population. The grade 3+ adverse events will also be described and summarized in a similar fashion.
- Incidence of Toxicity, Defined as Adverse Events Classified as Possibly, Probably, or Definitely Related to Study Treatment, Graded According to the Grading Scale for Hematologic Adverse Events in CLL Studies or Ordinal Common Toxicity Criteria (Phase I) [Up to 2 years]
Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by dose level, patient and tumor site will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of these analyses. Here, we report the number of patients that reported a grade 2 or higher as their worst incidence of toxicity.
- Overall Response Rate (Phase II) [Up to 12 months]
The proportion of responses by 6 months will be estimated by the number of patients who achieve a response by 6 months divided by the total number of evaluable patients. The proportion of responses by 12 months will be estimated in a similar manner. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportions will be calculated.
- Time to Progression (Phase II) [The time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 2 years]
The distribution of time to progression will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
- Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to the Grading Scale for Hematologic Adverse Events in CLL Studies (Phase II) [Up to 30 days after the last day of study treatment]
The maximum grade for each type of adverse event, regardless of causality, will be recorded and reported for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine adverse event patterns.
