Trial Information

Phase I Study of Bryostatin 1 (NSC 339555) and Fludarabine in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the toxic effects and maximum tolerated dose of bryostatin 1 and fludarabine
in patients with symptomatic or advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia or relapsed
indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

- Monitor apoptosis, differentiation, and protein kinase C activity in leukemic
lymphocytes exposed in vivo to bryostatin 1 and fludarabine.

- Observe the antitumor activity of this combination therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to one of two
treatment groups.

- Group I: Patients receive bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours followed by fludarabine IV over
30 minutes daily on days 1-5.

- Group II: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes daily on days 1-5 followed by
bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours.

In both groups, courses repeat every 4 weeks for patients with stable or responding disease.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of fludarabine and bryostatin 1 until the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at
which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD for fludarabine is
determined, the dose of bryostatin 1 is escalated.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 3
years.
