Tipifarnib in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission

Lead Sponsor:

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Conditions:

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Arising From Previous Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Adult Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

This randomized phase III trial studies tipifarnib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary...

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare R115777 (tipifarnib) maintenance therapy to observation only with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with AML in second or subsequent complete remiss...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients \> 60 years old in first remission
  • Patients must be in complete remission (CR) or morphologic remission (MR) by blood counts and bone marrow studies to enter the study
  • Confirmatory bone marrow must be performed =\< 2 weeks prior to randomization
  • Patients must have morphologic proof (from bone marrow aspirate, smears or touch preps of marrow biopsy) that they had AML of one of the following types prior to achievement of CR/MR
  • Acute myeloblastic leukemia, minimal differentiation (French-American-British \[FAB\] M0)
  • Acute myeloblastic leukemia without differentiation (FAB M1)

  • Refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation (RAEB-T)
  • AML by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
  • Acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia
  • Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB M3) are not eligible
  • Patients must be registered within 60 days of completion of therapy for the current remission; patients are eligible if they meet any of the criteria below:

  • All of the patients below are eligible for study entry:
  • Patients who have received consolidation therapy
  • Patients who have not received any consolidation or post remission therapy
  • Patients who have had an autologous stem cell transplant
  • Patients who have received an allogeneic transplant (bone marrow transplant \[BMT\] or peripheral stem cell transplant \[PSCT\]) in their current remission are ineligible; patients who have had an allogeneic transplant in a previous remission and are currently in remission after subsequent relapse are eligible
  • Patients with a history of extramedullary disease are eligible if they are in complete remission at the time of study entry and no longer requiring therapy for their extramedullary disease
  • Patients must not be pregnant or breast-feeding; all females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study \< 2 weeks prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy
  • Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males are strongly advised to use an accepted and effective method of contraception
  • Patients must not be known to have an allergy to imidazole drugs, such as clotrimazole ketoconazole, miconazole, econazole, or terconazole; this does not include fluconazole, voriconazole, or itraconazole
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 - 2
