Tretinoin and Arsenic Trioxide With or Without Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

NCT01409161

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well tretinoin and arsenic trioxide with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with previously untreated acute promyelocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tretinoin and arsenic trioxide, 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. Immunotoxins, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, may find certain cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving tretinoin and arsenic trioxide together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells.

Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well tretinoin and arsenic trioxide with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with previously untreated acute promyelocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tretinoin and arsenic trioxide, 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. Immunotoxins, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, may find certain cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving tretinoin and arsenic trioxide together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Assess whether a combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA [tretinoin]), and arsenic
      trioxide (ATO) can produce long-term event-free survival in patients with low-risk untreated
      acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

      II. Assess whether administration of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) at the diagnosis in patients
      with high-risk APL (white blood cell [WBC] > 10,000) and if the WBC rises to > 10,000 after
      start of treatment (in patients with low-risk disease) will improve complete response (CR)
      rate without increasing toxicity in high-risk untreated APL.

      OUTLINE:

      INDUCTION: Patients receive tretinoin orally (PO) twice daily (BID), arsenic trioxide
      intravenously (IV) over 1-2 hours daily, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours once at
      weeks 1-4.

      CONSOLIDATION: Patients achieving CR receive arsenic trioxide IV 5 days per week during weeks
      1-4, 9-12, 17-20, and 25-28 and tretinoin PO BID for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Treatment
      repeats every 8 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6-12 months.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

             480 milliseconds
