Safety Study of CAT-8015 Immunotoxin in Patients With CLL, PLL or SLL With Advance Disease
Lead Sponsor:
Cambridge Antibody Technology
Conditions:
Leukemia
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
PHASE1
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: The CAT-8015 immunotoxin can bind tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), prolymphocytic leukemia ...
Detailed Description
OUTLINE: Patients receive CAT-8015 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5 followed by rest. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to a total of 10 courses in the absence of dose limiting toxicity, co...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Confirmed diagnosis of B-cell leukemia (CLL, PLL or SLL)
- Measurable disease
- Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are eligible if they have failed 2 or more prior courses of standard chemotherapy and/or biologic therapy (e.g. Rituxan) and if treatment for progressive disease is medically indicated. Patients with prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) will be eligible if they have failed at least one prior standard chemotherapeutic regimen. Medical indications for treatment include progressive disease-related symptoms, progressive cytopenias due to marrow involvement, progressive or painful splenomegaly or adenopathy, rapidly increasing lymphocytosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia and increased frequency of infections.
- PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Performance status
- ECOG 0-2
- Life expectancy
- Life expectancy of greater than 6 months, as assessed by the principal investigator
- Other
- Patients with other cancers who meet eligibility criteria and have had less than 5 years of disease-free survival will be considered on a case-by-case basis
- Ability to understand and sign informed consent
- Female and male patients agree to use an approved method of contraception during the study
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Documented and ongoing central nervous system involvement with their malignant disease (history of CNS involvement is not an exclusion criterion)
- History of bone marrow transplant
- Pregnant or breast-feeding females
- Patients whose plasma contains either a significant level of antibody to CAT-8015 as measured by ELISA, or antibody that neutralizes the binding of CAT-8015 to CD22 as measured by a competition ELISA.
- HIV positive serology (due to increased risk of severe infection and unknown interaction of CAT-8015 with antiretroviral drugs)
- Hepatitis B surface antigen positive
- Uncontrolled, symptomatic, intercurrent illness including but not limited to: infections requiring systemic antibiotics, congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, psychiatric illness, or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Hepatic function: serum transaminases (either ALT or AST) or direct bilirubin:
- ≥ Grade 2, unless bilirun is due to Gilbert's disease
- Renal function: serum creatinine clearance ≤60mL/min as estimated by Cockroft-Gault formula
- Hematologic function:
- The ANC \<1000/cmm, or platelet count \<50,000/cmm, if these cytopenias are not judged by the investigator to be due to underlying disease (i.e. potentially reversible with anti-neoplastic therapy)
- Baseline coagulopathy \> grade 3 unless due to anticoagulant therapy
- A patient will not be excluded because of pancytopenia ≥ Grade 3, or erythropoietin dependence, if it is due to disease, based on the results of bone marrow studies
- Pulmonary function:
- Patients with \< 50% of predicted forced expiratory volume (FEV1) or \<50% of predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), corrected for hemoglobin concentration and alveolar volume. Note: Patients with no prior history of pulmonary illness are not required to have PFTs. FEV1 will be assessed following bronchodilator therapy.
- Recent prior therapy:
- Cytotoxic chemotherapy, corticosteriods (except stable doses of prednisone), whole body electron beam radiation therapy, hormonal, biologic or other systemic therapy or investigational therapy of the malignancy for 3 weeks prior to entry into the trial
- Less than or equal to \< 3 months prior monoclonal antibody therapy (i.e. rituximab)
- Patients who have received or are receiving radiation therapy less than 3 weeks prior to study entry will be not be excluded providing the volume of bone marrow treated is less than 10% and also the patient has measurable disease outside the radiation port
