Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase IIIBiomarker/Laboratory analysis, TreatmentActive18 and overNCISWOG-S0521
S0521, NCT00492856

Special Category: CTSU trial

Objectives

  1. Compare disease-free survival in patients with previously untreated low- or intermediate-risk acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with induction and consolidation combination chemotherapy with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin followed by maintenance therapy comprising tretinoin, mercaptopurine, and methotrexate vs observation.
  2. Assess the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
  3. Determine whether gene expression profiling assessed prior to treatment is predictive of resistance to remission induction chemotherapy and correlate with detectable minimal residual disease post-consolidation therapy.
  4. Determine the relapse-free survival of patients who respond to induction chemotherapy.
  5. Assess, preliminarily, the outcomes of patients who fail to achieve or maintain PCR-negative PML-RARα fusion gene after consolidation therapy when treated with gemtuzumab ozogamicin.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Cytologically confirmed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or the variant form of APL
    • Previously untreated disease
    • Low- or intermediate-risk disease
      • Low-risk disease, defined as WBC ≤ 10,000/mm3 and platelet count > 40,000/mm3
      • Intermediate-risk disease, defined as WBC ≤ 10,000/mm3 and platelet count ≤ 40,000/mm3
      • WBC and platelet count confirming low- or intermediate-risk disease must be obtained within 48 hours prior to study registration unless the patient received tretinoin therapy prior to study registration in which case the WBC and platelet count must be obtained within 48 hours prior to study therapy
  • PML-RARα fusion gene positive by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay
  • No recurrent disease
  • Must be registered on clinical trials SWOG-9007 and SWOG-S9910 
    • Specimens must be collected prior to tretinoin therapy and may be collected after tretinoin therapy

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No more than 1 prior dose of intrathecal chemotherapy for acute leukemia
  • No prior systemic chemotherapy, hydroxyurea, or leukapheresis for acute leukemia
    • Prior tretinoin at a dose of ≤ 45 mg/m2/day allowed provided it was received ≤ 5 days prior to study registration

Patient Characteristics:

  • Zubrod performance status 0-3
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception for ≥ 1 month prior to, during, and for 2 months after completion of study treatment
  • No unstable cardiac arrhythmia or unstable angina
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except for the following:
    • Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer
    • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
    • Adequately treated stage I or II cancer (except for highly aggressive malignancies with a high rate of early relapse) currently in complete remission

Outline

This is a randomized, multicenter study.

  • Induction therapy: Patients receive oral tretinoin twice daily until morphologic complete remission (CR) or for a maximum of 90 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive cytarabine IV continuously on days 3-9 and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 3-6.
  • Consolidation therapy: Patients who achieve CR, CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), or partial remission (PR) after induction therapy receive arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours 5 days a week for 5 weeks. After a 2-week rest period, patients receive a second course of arsenic trioxide. Within 14-30 days after blood count recovery, patients receive oral tretinoin twice daily on days 1-7 and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1-3. Patients receive a second course of tretinoin and daunorubicin hydrochloride after adequate blood count recovery.
  • Post-consolidation therapy: Patients who do not achieve molecular CR (CRm), but do achieve CR or CRi and are still PML-RARα-positive after consolidation therapy, receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 6 courses or until PML-RARα-negative by PCR. Patients who are in CRm are stratified according to age (18 to 60 years vs > 60 years), acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) risk group (low vs intermediate), and if the patient received consolidation therapy courses 3 or 4 (yes vs no). These patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
    • Arm I: Beginning 14-30 days after blood count recovery, patients receive oral tretinoin twice daily on days 1-7, oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-14, and oral methotrexate on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for up to 1 year.
    • Arm II: Patients receive no further chemotherapy. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.

Patients undergo blood collection periodically for cytogenetic studies. Samples are analyzed for PML-RARα fusion gene via reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and gene expression profiling.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
