Brief Summary
This phase 1-2 trial studies the side effects and how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or undifferentiated myeloproliferative ...
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: * To describe the toxicities of R115777 (tipifarnib) in adult patients with myeloproliferative disorders. * To assess hematologic responses, including changes in white blood cell ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Patients with a diagnosis (\> 3 months prior to enrollment) of:
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (Philadelphia chromosome positive or polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] positive for breakpoint cluster region \[BCR\]-Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 \[ABL\]) in chronic phase with:
- Persistent or progressive disease on maximum tolerated interferon therapy, or STI571 (if eligible and able to receive this drug), as evidenced by increasing white blood cell (WBC) count, peripheral blood myeloid immaturity and/or progressive anemia, and/or persistence or relapse of abnormal cytogenetic and/or molecular findings
- Interferon or STI571 intolerant
- CML (Philadelphia chromosome positive or PCR positive for BCR-ABL) in accelerated phase (\< 20% blasts in the peripheral blood and bone marrow) with persistent or progressive disease on STI571 (if eligible and able to receive this drug)
- CML patients are eligible if they have not received interferon or STI571 because they are allergic to these drugs or refuse their use
- Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
- Proliferative-type (WBC \> 12,000/mL)
- Less than 5% blasts in the peripheral blood and \< 20% blasts in the bone marrow
- Undifferentiated myeloproliferative disorder (UMPD)
- Atypical (i.e. Philadelphia chromosome-negative) CML
- Four weeks must have elapsed since the use of any previous pharmacotherapy including interferon, hematopoietic growth factors, and cytotoxic chemotherapy (6 weeks for prior mitomycin or nitrosoureas); hydroxyurea may be used to manage elevated cell counts in patients up to the time they begin investigational therapy
- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
- Patients are capable of swallowing capsules
- Total bilirubin is \> 1.5 X the upper limit of normal (ULN) where the analysis is performed; for example, for Stanford University Hospital, the ULN for total bilirubin is 1.3
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are \> 2 X the ULN; for example, for Stanford University Hospital, the ULN for ALT is 35, and the ULN for AST is 41
- Serum creatinine of \< 2.0
- Life expectancy \> 4 months
- Written inform consent must be obtained
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Blast crisis phase of CML and atypical CML/ undifferentiated myeloproliferative disorders
- Patients with \> 20% blasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow are excluded
- Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
- Patients with severe disease other than CML, CMML, or UMPD which is expected to prevent compliance with the protocol
- Patients with septicemia or other severe infections
- Pregnant or breast-feeding females
- Women of reproductive age should use contraception while on study
- Patients may not receive androgens during the study
- Requirement for ongoing therapy with corticosteroids (\> 10 mg/d prednisone or equivalent steroid dosage) other than as pre-medication for transfusions
- Patients with iron deficiency; if a marrow aspirate is not available, transferrin saturation must be \> 20% and serum ferritin \> 50 ng/mL; this exclusion criterion will be removed if the iron deficiency state is corrected before enrollment
- Patients with other contributing causes of anemia such as autoimmune or hereditary hemolytic disorders, gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss, B12 or folate deficiency, or hypothyroidism; patients who require platelet transfusions, or have thrombocytopenia-related bleeding
- Inability to return for follow-up visits/studies to assess toxicity and response to therapy
