NCT ID: NCT01550224

Last Updated: 2018-08-09

Results Overview

This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of temozolomide + vorinostat as administered to Groups 1 and 2, assessed as the rate of complete remission \[CR, aka morphologic complete remission (mCR)\], defined as the morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), WITH absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/µL AND platelets (PLT) ≥ 100,000/µL. The outcome is reported as the percentage without dispersion of participants in Groups 1 and 2 that demonstrated CR. CR is defined as all of the following. MLFS = \< 5% blasts in bone marrow aspirate containing marrow spicules \> 200 nucleated cells no blasts with Auer rods no persistence of extramedullary disease ANC = ≥ 1,000/µL PLT = ≥ 100,000/µL

Participant Group 1 (Methylated MGMT Promoter)
Participants with methylated O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, ie, expected to have no expression of MGMT protein, will be assigned into Group 1, and will receive vorinostat 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days, followed by conventional doses of temozolomide (200 mg/m2 for 7 days). Temozolomide: An alkylating agent administered for induction per standard of care at 200 mg/m²/day for 7days. Group 2 participants also receive at protracted, pre-induction treatment with 100 mg/m²/day for 14 days. Vorinostat: A synthetic hydroxamic acid derivative with antineoplastic activity administered for both groups at 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days prior to Temozolomide 200 mg/m²/day.
Participant Group 2 (Non-methylated MGMT Promoter)
Participants with non-methylated O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, ie, expected to have expression MGMT protein, will be assigned to into Group 2, and will initially receive daily, low doses (protracted dose schedule) of temozolomide (100 mg/m2) for 14 days in an attempt to inactivate MGMT activity. Following the protracted dose schedule, participants will receive vorinostat 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days, followed by conventional doses of temozolomide (200 mg/m2 for 7 days). Temozolomide: An alkylating agent administered for induction per standard of care at 200 mg/m²/day for 7days.

Measure
Participant Group 1 (Methylated MGMT Promoter)
n=3 participants at risk
Participants with methylated O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, ie, expected to have no expression of MGMT protein, will be assigned into Group 1, and will receive vorinostat 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days, followed by conventional doses of temozolomide (200 mg/m2 for 7 days). Temozolomide: An alkylating agent administered for induction per standard of care at 200 mg/m²/day for 7days. Group 2 participants also receive at protracted, pre-induction treatment with 100 mg/m²/day for 14 days. Vorinostat: A synthetic hydroxamic acid derivative with antineoplastic activity administered for both groups at 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days prior to Temozolomide 200 mg/m²/day.
Participant Group 2 (Non-methylated MGMT Promoter)
n=20 participants at risk
Participants with non-methylated O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, ie, expected to have expression MGMT protein, will be assigned to into Group 2, and will initially receive daily, low doses (protracted dose schedule) of temozolomide (100 mg/m2) for 14 days in an attempt to inactivate MGMT activity. Following the protracted dose schedule, participants will receive vorinostat 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days, followed by conventional doses of temozolomide (200 mg/m2 for 7 days). Temozolomide: An alkylating agent administered for induction per standard of care at 200 mg/m²/day for 7days. Vorinostat: A synthetic hydroxamic acid derivative with antineoplastic activity administered for both groups at 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 3 days prior to Temozolomide 200 mg/m²/day.
