Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Trimetrexate and Leucovorin in The Treatment of Recurrent Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the efficacy of trimetrexate glucuronate with leucovorin calcium rescue in
children with recurrent acute lymphoblastic leukemia, recurrent osteogenic sarcoma, or
refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant to methotrexate.

- Evaluate the toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease (acute lymphocytic leukemia,
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma vs osteogenic sarcoma).

Patients receive trimetrexate glucuronate orally or IV every 12 hours on days 1-21 and oral
leucovorin calcium every 12 hours on days 1-24. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks. Patients
with stable or responsive disease may receive up to 4 courses of therapy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
