About

RATIONALE: Combinations of biological substances in DT388IL3 fusion protein may be able to carry cancer killing substances directly to the cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of DT388IL3 fusion protein and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.

Full description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of DT_388IL3 fusion protein in patients with refractory or relapsed or poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
  • Define the dose-limiting toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • Measure the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Measure the immune responses in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Evaluate response and correlate with disease type (relapsed/refractory or poor-risk de novo AML or high-risk MDS), pretreatment marrow blast percentage, and leukemia blast interleukin-3 receptor density.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, multicenter, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II, open-label study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive DT_388IL3 IV over 15 minutes daily for 5 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of DT_388IL3 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Phase II: An additional 15 patients receive DT_388IL3 at the MTD as in phase I. Patients undergo serum and blast collection periodically for laboratory studies, including analysis of expression of interleukin-3 receptors and anti-DT_388IL3 antibodies at baseline. Samples are also analyzed by immunoenzyme assays and flow cytometry.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Diagnosis of 1 of the following:

    • Histologically or morphologically confirmed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), meeting 1 of the following criteria:

      • Relapsed or refractory AML after treatment with ≥ 1 prior conventional induction therapy

        • Patients in early first relapse must not have a matched donor available and/or be ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation
      • Poor-risk AML, as defined by any of the following criteria:

        • Treatment-related AML, unless associated with favorable cytogenetics (e.g., inversion 16, t[16;16], t[8;21], t[15;17]), and ineligible for stem cell transplantation
        • Antecedent hematological disease (e.g., myelodysplastic syndromes, myelofibrosis, or polycythemia vera) that evolved to AML (≥ 20% blasts) and ineligible for stem cell transplantation
        • De novo AML (must be > 70 years of age)
        • AML with unfavorable cytogenetics (e.g., abnormalities of chromosomes -7, -5, 7q-, or 5q-; complex [≥ 3] abnormalities; or abnormalities of 11q23, excluding t[9;11], t[9;22], inversion 3, t[3;3], and t[6;9]), regardless of age, and ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation
    • High-risk myelodysplastic syndromes diagnosed by morphologic, histochemical, or cell surface marker criteria

      • Resistant or intolerant to chemotherapy
      • Ineligible for or unwilling to undergo immediate allogeneic stem cell transplantation
