Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients suffering from ALL in first or subsequent relapse will start oral RAD001 (everolimus) treatment (either 2.5mg or 5mg depending on which study cohort is open) once daily on day 1 for a total of 18 doses in 18 days in conjunction with the HyperCVAD regimen. Patients achieving complete remission by day 21 of the preceding chemotherapy cycle can proceed with subsequent cycles of the same RAD001 dose and HyperCVAD up to a total of 4 cycles.

The first cohort of 6 patients will receive 2.5mg dose of RAD001. The data of each cohort will be reviewed to assess whether or not subsequent cohorts of patients can be given 2.5mg or 5mg dose of RAD001 or whether the trial should be closed.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258048 0
To assess the safety of RAD001 given in combination with the Hyper CVAD regimen in patients with relapsed ALL. The primary measure of safety will be the duration of myelosuppression, as measured by time to recovery to grade 2 neutropenia.
Timepoint [1] 258048 0
Daily evaluations from start of treatment until day 42 of each chemotherapy course
Secondary outcome [1] 263626 0
To document the duration of severe thrombocytopenia defined as platelets <50x10e9/L.
Timepoint [1] 263626 0
Daily evaluations from start of treatment until day 42 of each chemotherapy course
Secondary outcome [2] 263627 0
To document and review the incidence of Grade 3 and 4 non-hematological toxicities.
Timepoint [2] 263627 0
Daily until day 18 following last study treatment and again at day 42 after last study treatment
Secondary outcome [3] 263628 0
To provide estimates of the complete remission (CR) rate, duration of remission and leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with this combination as assessed by medical investigations consistent with standard of care
Timepoint [3] 263628 0
3 years after patient was registered to trial
