Trial Information

A Phase I Trial of ZIO-101 in Hematologic Cancers


The purpose of this study is to find answers to the following questions:

1. What is the largest dose of ZIO-101 that can be given once a day for 5 days every 4
weeks (a "cycle")?

2. What are the side effects of ZIO-101 when administered in this way?

3. After getting the drug how much of the ZIO-101 remains in the blood stream up to 8 days
after the first injection?

4. Is ZIO-101 useful in reducing my blood cancer?

A series of tests will be taken throughout the study: medical history will be recorded, a
physical exam performed, an electrocardiogram (EKG) (a measurement of your heart activity),
blood tests. The amount of blood taken for these lab tests will equal about 2 1/2
tablespoons. In addition, a urine pregnancy test (if applicable), and a urine sample taken
to test if your kidneys are working correctly. To see the current condition of your blood
cancer, additional tests may need to be performed if they have not already been done
recently. These tests may include: a bone marrow biopsy, special testing of your blood, a CT
scan and a bone scan.

Immediately before being treated with ZIO-101, you will have another physical examination,
you will also be asked about any medicines you are taking and how you are feeling. The
blood tests may need to be repeated along with the EKG and the urine test. In addition, a
small blood sample must be taken immediately before the injection of ZIO-101.

The injections of ZIO-101 will take approximately one hour. Following the first injection
only, you will have 6 samples of blood taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. Additional
blood samples will be taken prior to each dose of ZIO-101 only. You will also have repeat
EKG within one hour after completing the injection. This process will be repeated for 5
consecutive days.

Your next visit will be Week 2 and at the onset of this visit, a blood sample will be taken
and you will be asked how you feel. At Weeks 3 and 4, another blood sample will be taken
and you will be asked how you feel.

At the end of Week 4, a new cycle begins. Immediately before being treated with ZIO-101, you
will have a physical examination, you will be asked about any medicines you are taking and
how you are feeling. The blood tests will be repeated along with the EKG and the urine
test. In addition, any test used to measure your blood cancer will be repeated toward the
end of the cycle.

You may receive up to six of these cycles.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Subjects must have relapsed/refractory leukemia or lymphoma for which no standard
therapies are anticipated to result in a durable remission. Relapsed/refractory
leukemia/lymphoma includes acute leukemia, chronic myeloproliferative disease,
chronic lymphoproliferative disease, multiple myeloma, and any type of lymphoma.
Subjects with poor-risk myelodysplasia (MDS) are also candidates for this protocol.
Poor risk MDS includes refractory anemia with excess blasts or excess blasts in
transformation, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

- ECOG performance status of ≤ 2.

- Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not
surgically sterile) must use acceptable contraceptive methods (abstinence,
intrauterine device [IUD], oral contraceptive or double barrier device), and must
have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week prior to beginning
treatment on this trial. Nursing subjects are excluded. Sexually active men must also
use acceptable contraceptive methods. Pregnant and nursing subjects are excluded
because the effects of ZIO-101 on a fetus or nursing child are unknown.

- Must be able and willing to give written informed consent.

- Absent rapidly progressing disease, the interval from cancer therapy should be ≥ 3
weeks. Subjects receiving hydroxyurea should be on stable dose ≥ 7 days before
beginning treatment protocol. Persisting chronic toxicities from prior therapy must
be ≤ grade 1.

- Subjects must have the following clinical laboratory values:

- Serum creatinine ≤ 2 x the upper limit of normal

- Total bilirubin ≤ 2 x the upper limit of normal.

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x the
upper limit of normal.

- QTc interval < 450-470 mSec

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects with any one of the following criteria will not be eligible for study
participation:

- Patients with indolent and stable myeloma, MDS or CLL not requiring therapy are not
eligible.

- Central nervous system (CNS) involvement with cancer.

- Uncontrolled active infection of any kind. Subjects with infections that are under
active treatment with antibiotics and whose infections are controlled may be entered
to the study.

- Active heart disease including myocardial infarction within previous 6 months;
symptomatic coronary artery disease; any type of chronic, ongoing arrhythmias; or
uncontrolled congestive heart failure.

- Concomitant therapy for hematologic cancer (except hydroxyurea).

- NYHA functional class ≥ 3, myocardial infarction ≤ 6 mo or uncontrolled cardiac
arrhythmia other than asymptomatic atrial fibrillation; QTc ≥450msec; AV-block ≥
grade-2 or Left Bundle Branch Block.
