Trial Information

A Phase 1 Study of the Deglycosylated Ricin A Chain-containing Combined Anti-CD19 and Anti-CD22 Immunotoxin Combotox in Combination With High-dose Cytarabine in Adult Relapsed or Refractory B-lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia


To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Combotox when added to high-dose cytarabine
during salvage therapy for adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage acute
lymphoblastic leukemia.

- To evaluate the efficacy of this regimen

- To assess for the presence of a postulated CD34+/CD38-/low/CD19+ leukemic stem cell
phenotype in the bone marrow at time of relapse and to assess its association with
treatment outcome

- To determine the development of human mouse or Ricin antibodies (HAMA/HARA);

- To determine the pharmacokinetic characteristics of combotox;

- To evaluate the value of fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) as early marker of
toxicity.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Must have histologically confirmed B-lineage ALL at diagnosis and either evidence of
relapse / refractory disease based on a Bone Marrow / Peripheral Blood examination or
evidence by cytogenetic studies or PCR amplification.

- CD19 and/or CD22 must be expressed on at least 50% of the lymphoblasts

- Disease must be refractory to conventional induction therapy or relapsed after
initial standard therapy for ALL. Any number of prior therapies is permitted and
including allogeneic and/or autologous stem cell transplant

- Age more than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are
currently available on the use of Combotox in combination with Cytarabine in patients
less than 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be
eligible for future pediatric phase 1 combination trials.

- ECOG performance status less than or equal to 2

- Life expectancy greater than 2 months

- Normal organ and marrow function as follows: total bilirubin less than 1.5 X
institutional upper limit of normal, unless related to leukemic infiltration or
hemolysis; AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) less than 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal,
unless related to leukemic infiltration or hemolysis; Creatinine within normal
institutional limits OR Creatinine clearance greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for
patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.

- Must have recovered from effects of prior therapy. At least 2 weeks should have
elapsed since the last dose of high dose chemotherapy. Hydroxyurea, steroids and
vincristine are allowed to control counts until eligibility is confirmed and study
treatment can be initiated.

- Adequate cardiac function defined as an ejection fraction of more than or equal to
50% by MUGA scan or echocardiogram and a QTc interval of less than or equal to 450ms
for men and less than or equal to 460ms for women

- Adequate pulmonary function defined as no evidence of dyspnea at rest.

- Use of adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control;
abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should
a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study,
she should inform her treating physician immediately.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to entering the study or those who
have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 2 weeks
earlier.

- (4 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who
have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 2 weeks
earlier.

- May not be receiving any other investigational agents

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to combotox or other agents used in study agents

- Presence of significant pleural effusion by chest x-ray

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic

- Presence of active untreated CNS leukemia

- Presence of GVHD more than grade 2

- History of documented seizure disorder, presence of cerebellar dysfunction, dysphasia
or altered mental status on neurological examination

- Human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) levels of 100μg/ml or human ricin antibodies (HARA)
> 100μg/ml HARA after cycle 1

- Impaired liver function defined as a total bilirubin greater than 1.5 x normal range
and AST or ALT greater than 2.5 x normal range unless secondary to Gilbert's disease,
hemolysis or leukemic involvement of the liver

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements.

- Pregnant women are excluded from this study

- HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
