ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00156299
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in cancer cells. It may also help doctors understand how cancer cells respond to treatment with choline magnesium trisalicylate.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying gene expression in cancer cells during chemotherapy and the safety of choline magnesium trisalicylate in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.


Condition Intervention
Leukemia
Drug: chemotherapy
Drug: choline magnesium trisalicylate
Genetic: gene expression analysis
Other: laboratory biomarker analysis

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Open Label
Official Title: A Pilot Study of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NFkB) Inhibition During Induction Chemotherapy for Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Temporal changes in leukemic cell NF-kB activity [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Toxicity [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Patterns of leukemic cell gene expression [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Apoptosis related to NF-kB modulation [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 24
Study Start Date: December 2002
Primary Completion Date: August 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine temporal changes in leukemic cell NF-kB activity when choline magnesium trisalicylate is administered during induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Determine toxicities of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine patterns of leukemic cell gene expression in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine if NF-kB modulation results in enhanced apoptosis in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, pilot, parallel-group study.

Patients receive oral choline magnesium trisalicylate every 8 hours for 48 hours during induction chemotherapy as determined by the primary physician.

Blood is collected at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours to assess for changes in NF-kB expression, apoptosis, and gene expression in leukemic cells.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study.
