About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hematologic Malignancy focused on measuring relapsed and refractory hematologic malignancy, ALL (acute lymphoid leukemia), CLL (chronic lymphoid leukemia), High risk myelodysplasia (MDS) with an IPSS (International Prognostic Scoring System) score >2.5, CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia) blast crisis, Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age > 18
  2. Relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies including AML, ALL, CLL, high risk myelodysplasia (International Prognostic Score >2.5), CML blast crisis, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma for which all potentially curative therapy options have been exhausted.
  3. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status < 2.
  4. Biochemical values within the following range:

    1. Serum creatinine < 2x upper limit of normal.
    2. Total bilirubin < 2x upper limit of normal, AST (asparatate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) < 5x upper limit of normal.
  5. Ability to maintain adequate oral intake of medication.
  6. Ability to understand and sign informed consent.
  7. Toxicity from prior chemotherapy has resolved

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Uncontrolled systemic infection.
  2. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness
  3. Pregnant or breast feeding
  4. Active CNS (central nervous system) disease
  5. Neurologic symptoms related to intracurrent illnesses or unexplained causes
  6. Psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with study
  7. Receiving other systemic chemotherapy, other than hydroxyurea to control circulating blast counts, within 10 days of study entry. Hydroxyurea is permitted, however the dose must be stable and unchanged in the 7 days prior to initiation with ciclopirox olamine
  8. Concurrent therapy with topical ciclopirox olamine.
  9. Use of other investigational anti-cancer therapy within two weeks of study entry.
  10. Use of oral or intravenous metal supplements including iron, copper, zinc and nickel.
  11. Resting ejection fraction < 50%

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Ciclopirox Olamine

Arm Description

Patients will take Ciclopirox Olamine at escalating doses depending on when they enter into the trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and recommended phase II dose of ciclopirox olamine.
To evaluate maximum tolerated dose.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is an open-label, single arm study. Approximately 3-30 patients will be enrolled. Patients will receive Oral ciclopirox olamine (aqueous suspension), initial starting dose of 5 mg/m2/day administered as a single dose daily for 5 days. Three patients will initially be treated at each dose level in sequential cohorts. Dose escalation will continue for each subsequent cohort based on toxicity and plasma drug concentrations observed during the previous cohort. Dose escalation will continue until establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been met. Patients who have demonstrated response to treatment, up to 6 total cycles of treatment may be administered. If additional cycles are warranted, ciclopirox olamine will be given at the same dose and frequency as the patient initially received.

Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Ciclopirox Olamine
Intervention Description
Patients will take Ciclopirox Olamine at various doses depending on which dose level they come into the study at. Ciclopirox olamine will be administered orally as an aqueous suspension without food. The starting dose will be 5 mg/m2/day administered as a single dose daily for 5 days (one cycle). Once a MTD has been determined, the new patients that enter into the trial will then take it at that level.
