ABT-751 With Chemotherapy for Relapsed Pediatric ALL

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a phase I/II study of an investigational drug called ABT-751, produced by Abbott Laboratories, given in combination with chemotherapy drugs used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back (recurred). The phase I portion of this study is being done to find the highest dose of ABT-751 that can be given safely in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. A safe dose is one that does not result in unacceptable side effects. After a safe dose for ABT-751 given with chemotherapy has been found, the study will add additional patients to find out if ABT-751 (given at the maximal safe dose) when given with additional chemotherapy is an effective therapy for the treatment of children with relapsed ALL. It is expected that approximately 15-35 children and young adults will take part in this study.

Detailed Description
-----------------
All patients will receive the 2 courses of chemotherapy unless medical complications prevent the administration of some of the drugs. Treatment for the first 2 courses of therapy will last about 2 months. Treatment on this study will consist of a combination of 8 anti-cancer medications. The 8 anticancer medicines are ABT-751, dexamethasone, PEG-asparaginase, doxorubicin, cytarabine (Ara-C), methotrexate (MTX), cyclophosphamide, and 6-thioguanine. All the drugs except ABT-751 are well known anti-cancer drugs and have been used extensively in the treatment of cancer. During the Phase I portion of this study, when you enroll, you will be given an assigned dose of ABT-751. The dose of ABT-751 will be based on doses given in previous studies done with adults and children. At each dose level of ABT-751, between 3 and 6 children will receive ABT-751 in combination with chemotherapy. If the side effects are not too severe, the next group of children will receive a higher dose. The dose will continue to be increased until we find the dose that causes serious side effects. Your dose of ABT-751 will not be increased. If you have bad side effects, your dose may be decreased. The dose used during the Phase 2 part of this study will be determined by the outcome of the Phase I study. The highest dose used in Phase I that was tolerated without serious side effects will be the one used in Phase 2.

Exclusion Criteria Drug Allergies Patients will be excluded if they have allergies to the following drugs: Asparaginase products Sulfa containing medications Renal Function Patients will be excluded if their serum creatinine is > the upper limit of normal (ULN) for age at the institution's laboratory. Liver/Pancreatic Function Direct bilirubin > 1.5x the institutional ULN for age. A total bilirubin result that is less than 1.5 times the institutional ULN for age may be used for eligibility if a direct bilirubin result is not available. SGPT (ALT) > 4 x institutional ULN Grade 3 or greater pancreatitis as defined by the CTCAE v3.0 Amylase or Lipase > 2 x institutional ULN Cardiac Function Patients will be excluded if their shortening fraction by echocardiogram is less than 30%. Infection Patients will be excluded if they have an active, uncontrolled infection. Patients with grade 2 or greater motor or sensory neuropathy per CTC 3.0 criteria. Patients with grade 2 or greater Ileus (neuroconstipation) per CTC 3.0 criteria. Patients currently being treated with coumadin. Patients currently being treated with colchicines.

Patients planning on receiving other anti-cancer therapies while on this study. Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study. Patients who, based on BSA and current dose level, require a daily dose of ABT-751 that is less than 25mg per day. Patients who have started protocol therapy prior to enrollment. Patient may still enroll if IT Ara-C or IT MTX were given within 48 hours of study enrollment as part of the diagnostic lumbar procedure. These patients will not participate in the CSF PK portion of the study.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Patients That Experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity From ABT-751 | ABT-751 was given daily for 21 days for a period of 28 day course in combination with dexamethasone, PEG-asparaginase, and doxorubicin. The occurrence of a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was evaluated at the end of the 28 day course. DLT will be defined as any of the following events that are deemed by the investigator as probably or definitely attributable to ABT-751. Toxicity grade follows the CTCAE criteria, version 3.0. A copy of the CTCAE can be downloaded from the CTEP home page (http://ctep.cancer.gov). Grade 3 or 4 Ileus Grade 3 or 4 Constipation Grade 3 or 4 Gastrointestinal obstruction, any location Grade 3 or 4 Sensory Neuropathy Grade 3 or 4 Motor Neuropathy Grade 3 or 4 Neuropathic pain lasting longer than 24 hours despite medical intervention Grade 3 or 4 Hypoxia in the absence of anemia or infection Grade 4 Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) which does not return to | Each dose level is evaluated | 
| Number of Patients That Achieved Complete Response to ABT-751 | Complete response (CR) is the occurrence of all of the following on approximately Day 29: less than 5% leukemic blasts in the bone marrow aspirate with no evidence of leukemic blasts in the CSF or peripheral blood and recovery of peripheral blood counts of an Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 750/μL and Platelet count > 75,000 μL. | Day 29 of Course 1 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Patients With Occurrence of Toxic Death | The occurrence of toxic death at anytime that is definitely, probably or possibly related to the treatment. | From the first dose of study therapy until 30 days after last therapy dose. Last dose protocol therapy is on day 21. |
