Trial Information

Phase I Trial of Vorinostat (SAHA) in Combination With Alvocidib (Flavopiridol) in Patients With Relapsed, Refractory, or (Selected) Poor Prognosis Acute Leukemia or Refractory Anemia With Excess Blasts-2


PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine recommended phase II doses for the combination of flavopiridol and vorinostat
in patients with acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis, or refractory
anemia with excess blasts-2.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the safety, toxicity, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose of this drug
regimen.

II. Determine the pharmacodynamic and clinical anti-leukemic effects of this drug regimen.

III. Correlate leukemia gene expression patterns with response in patients treated with this
regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of flavopiridol.

Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and oral vorinostat three times
daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of flavopiridol 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.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Diagnosis of one of the following:

- Relapsed or refractory acute leukemia (acute myeloid leukemia [AML], acute
lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL], or acute leukemia unclassifiable) following at
least one prior systemic treatment

- Acute leukemia in a patient 60 years or older (no requirement for prior
treatment)

- Acute leukemia that has evolved from a prior myelodysplastic syndrome

- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in blast crisis following prior imatinib
mesylate therapy

- Refractory anemia with excess blasts-2 (RAEB-2)

- No known CNS leukemia

- ECOG performance status 0-2

- WBC < 50,000µL

- Hydroxyurea and/or leukaphereses may be used to lower WBC

- Creatinine =< 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) OR creatinine clearance >= 50
mL/min

- Total bilirubin =< 2 times ULN

- AST/ALT =< 2.5 times ULN

- QTc interval =< 0.470 seconds

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Negative pregnancy test

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 3 months after study
participation

- No other condition that would preclude study participation

- At least 3 weeks since prior treatment (expect leukaphereses)

- No valproic acid therapy within the past 2 weeks

- No prior autologous or allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation

- No hydroxyurea use within the past 24 hours

- No concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer agents or investigational agents
