Brief Summary:
Based on what is known about its mechanism of action bortezomib is presumed to make other chemotherapy drugs work better This study examines the use of bortezomib in combination with an already effective chemotherapy regimen that is used to treat leukemias that have relapsed or been refractory to treatment
Detailed Description:
VELCADE is a drug that blocks growth of cancer cells and helps destroy them This research will help us to determine if VELCADE when combined with chemotherapy is useful in treating the leukemia with which you have been diagnosed Your leukemia is a type that did not respond to chemotherapy or has come back after successful therapy
VELCADE is approved by the Food and Drug Administration FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma for patients that have received at least one prior therapy Multiple Myeloma is a type of cancer that develops from blood cells The dose of the drug being used in this research study is the same as what is used for the treatment of myeloma but the number of injections is less VELCADE has however not been approved by the FDA for use in acute leukemia Mitoxantrone and etoposide the other two chemotherapy drugs are also used for treating leukemia
In the first part of the study we are going to test the safety of VELCADE at different doses when given with mitoxantrone and etoposide You may be enrolled at any one of three doses In the second part we are going to assess the response to the combination of VELCADE and chemotherapy drugs You will receive VELCADE at the chosen dose based on safety assessment from Phase I It will be administered as an intravenous through the vein injection on day-1 and day-4 of the 5-day schedule In addition you will also receive mitoxantrone over 15 minutes and etoposide over 45 minutes from days 1-5 The first 28 days from the beginning of the treatment will be called a treatment cycle
On day-14 of the treatment cycle you will have a bone marrow biopsy done to see if all the leukemia cells have disappeared If there is no evidence of leukemia then you may receive growth factors to help your marrow recover faster If there is still presence of leukemia in the same amount or more then the treatment will be considered a failure and you will not receive any more of this treatment
If there is a partial improvement then you will receive additional cycles of VELCADE with chemotherapy as described above until there are no signs of your disease This is called a complete remission
Therapy will be withheld at any time if there is concern that you are having side-effects that are not medically acceptable Once the side-effects have resolved VELCADE therapy may be re-started at a lower dose
It is estimated that you may require about two to three cycles of therapy
