About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Leukemia focused on measuring Acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic Syndrome, cancer

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

Each patient had to meet the following criteria to be eligible for the study:

  1. Patients with MDS (de novo or secondary) must have been 60 years or older and have had disease fitting any of the recognized French-American-British classifications OR chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (with white blood cell [WBC] <12,000/μL) AND have had an International Prognostic Scoring System score of ≥1.5 as determined by complete blood count, bone marrow assessment and bone marrow cytogenetics within 30 days of study entry.
  2. Patients with AML (≥30% bone marrow blasts) must have been age 18 years or older and had previously received standard induction chemotherapy and/or had failed approved therapies.
  3. Must have had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
  4. Must have signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved informed consent form, indicating his/her awareness of the investigational nature of this study and its potential hazards prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures or treatment.
  5. Must have had adequate renal and hepatic function (creatinine ≤2.0 mg/dL, total bilirubin <2.0 mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <3.0 X institutional upper limit of normal).
  6. Must have had life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  7. Must have recovered from all toxic effects of all prior therapy before entry into this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with MDS must not have been candidates for high-dose chemotherapy, bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
  2. Must not have had acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3 classification).
  3. Must not have received immunosuppressive therapy for 30 days prior to study entry.
  4. Must not have had central nervous system (CNS) leukemia.
  5. Must not have received systemic corticosteroids, interferon, interleukins or other hormonal therapy within 30 days prior to study entry. Use of corticosteroids (topical and inhaled corticosteroids) was permitted and prophylactic steroids may have been used to treat or prevent transfusion reactions.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Average Total Body Clearance (Calculated From Rate and Concentration)
3-hour IV infusion, every 8 hours for three consecutive days. Average Total Body Clearance was measured post first dose (Day 1), fourth dose (Day 2), and seventh dose (Day 3).
Cmax (Maximum Plasma Concentration)
3-hour IV infusion, every 8 hours for three consecutive days. Cmax was measured post first dose (Day 1), fourth dose (Day 2), and seventh dose (Day 3).
Tmax (Time at Which Cmax First Observed)
3-hour IV infusion, every 8 hours for three consecutive days. Tmax was measured post first dose (Day 1), fourth dose (Day 2), and seventh dose (Day 3).
AUC (0-∞) - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Extrapolated to Infinity
3-hour IV infusion, every 8 hours for three consecutive days. AUC (0-∞) was measured post first dose (Day 1), fourth dose (Day 2), and seventh dose (Day 3).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Safety: The Most Frequently Reported Adverse Events (Regardless of Causality)
Summary of All Adverse Events (AEs) by Maximum Grade Occurring in >= 10% Patients
