Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a phase I study of temsirolimus (Torisel) combined with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTL).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Studies have shown that mTOR inhibitors (MTI) inhibit growth of pre-B and T-cell ALL cell lines in vitro and in ALL xenograft models. The MTI temsirolimus was chosen for use in this study due to its weekly intravenous dosing, its more predictable blood levels, and availability of a single-agent pediatric MTD and its sustained biologic effect due to conversion to sirolimus. This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of temsirolimus that can given in combination with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in relapsed ALL, LL or PTL. A standard 3-patient cohort dose-escalation design will be used. Response to treatment will be evaluated. Biology tests will be done to evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD), temsirolimus' effect on glucocorticoid resistance, and mTOR inhibition.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

This study follows a standard 3+3 patient cohort escalation design, as described below:

1. Three patients are entered at the first dose level
2. If 0/3 experiences DLT at a given dose level, then the dose is escalated to the next higher level, if a higher dose level exists, and three patients are enrolled. If a higher dose level does not exists, up to three more patients are accrued at the same dose level.
3. If 1/3 experiences DLT at current dose, then up to three more patients are accrued at the same dose level.
4. If 2 or more DLTs are observed in a three-patient or six-patient cohort at a given dose level, then the MTD has been exceeded, dose escalation will be stopped, and up to three additional patients will be enrolled at the next lower dose level, if a lower dose level exists (unless six patients have already been treated at that prior dose).

Patients with Down syndrome and Fanconi Anemia are excluded.

Patients will be excluded if they have significant concurrent disease, illness, psychiatric disorder or social issue that would compromise patient safety or compliance with protocol treatment or required observations, interfere with consent, study participation, follow up, or interpretation of study results.

Patients with known optic nerve and/or retinal involvement (because it may not be possible to safely delay irradiation) are not eligible. Patients presenting with visual disturbances by history or physical exam should have an ophthalmological exam and, if indicated, an MRI to determine optic nerve or retinal involvement.
