AG-221-AML-005 (Not Recruiting)
|
Registered Title |
A Phase 1b/2 Open-Label, Randomized Study of 2 Combinations of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (Idh) Mutant Targeted Therapies Plus Azacitidine: Oral Ag-120 Plus Subcutaneous Azacitidine and Oral Ag-221 Plus Sc Azacitidine in Subjects with Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia Harboring an Idh1 or an Idh2 Mutation, Respectively, Who are Not Candidates to Receive Intensive Induction Chemotherapy. |
|
Purpose |
This Phase 1b/2 study is an open-label, randomized, multicentre trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral AG-120 + SC azacitidine and oral AG-221 + SC azacitidine in subjects with newly diagnosed AML harbouring an IDH1 or an IDH2 mutation, respectively. The study population consists of subjects who are not candidates to receive intensive Inductive Chemotherapy (IC). The study comprises a Phase 1b dose-escalation stage and a Phase 2 randomized stage. The Phase 1b stage is an open-label dose-finding study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combinations of oral AG-120 and oral AG-221 with SC azacitidine to define the RP2Ds of these 2 agents when administered in combination with SC azacitidine. The Phase 2 stage is an open-label randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of the combinations of oral AG-120 and oral AG-221 with SC azacitidine versus SC azacitidine alone in order to assess the overall response rate (ORR), event-free survival (EFS), and morphologic complete remission (CR). The Primary Objective for both phases of the study is to assess the efficacy of the combination treatments of oral AG-120 plus SC azacitidine and oral AG-221 + SC azacitidine versus SC azacitidine in subjects with newly diagnosed AML harbouring an IDH1 or an IDH2 mutation, respectively, who are not candidates to receive intensive IC. |

AML M16 (Not Recruiting)
|
Registered Title |
Sorafenib in combination with intensive chemotherapy for previously untreated adult FLT3-ITD positive AML: a phase 2 randomised double-blind placebo controlled multi-centre study. |
|
Purpose |
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of a standard chemotherapy regimen for FLT3 positive AML, combined with or without Sorafenib, to find out which is better. |
|
Lay Summary |
This study will look at patients with a specific type of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) called FLT3 positive AML. This research is being done because we do not know whether the addition of Sorafenib to chemotherapy treatment is better than chemotherapy treatment alone for FLT3 positive AML. Sorafenib has been tested in over 8,400 patients and is being studied in a number of illnesses, including Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and in Kidney, Skin, Lung and Liver Cancer. Sorafenib blocks a cell surface receptor called FLT3, which has an important role in the survival and growth of AML cells. Not all leukaemia cells will have the abnormal FLT3 gene. This study will focus only on patients with leukaemia cells detected to have an abnormal FLT3 gene (‘FLT3-positive AML’). Sorafenib is an investigational drug, which means it has not been approved for use in AML by government health authorities, such as the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) or any other agency, but is permitted to be tested in research studies such as this one. Sorafenib is only approved for use in Australia for certain types of Liver Cancer and Kidney Cancer. |

WA ALLG National Blood Cancer Registry
|
Registered Title |
Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group Common Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Registry. |
|
Purpose |
The purpose of this registry is to collect information on selected patients with a suspected or known blood cancer in Australia and New Zealand. The ALLG also collects and stores donated tissue samples from patients in a biorepository. Clinicians, researchers and health service providers apply to the ALLG to access the data and tissue samples in order to find better ways to predict, treat or even prevent disease. |
|
Lay Summary |
The ALLG AML Registry will facilitate a number of functions associated with AML trials and thereby promote improved outcomes for patients. Some of the advantages to the establishment of the Registry are: 1. The Registry will enhance patient participation in clinical trials by facilitating cross referral of patients to sites that are running other ALLG AML trials. 2. The clear detail of tests to be conducted at baseline will align with ALLG AML clinical trial screening procedures to minimise burden on the patient and to ensure that the correct samples are collected, thus maximising participation in ALLG AML clinical trials. 3. The registry will also facilitate the implementation of central review and central testing of factors critical to the successful treatment of AML, and enhance consistency in clinical trial populations to ensure trial results are meaningful. 4. The collection of samples for the ALLG Tissue Bank, coupled with details and times of treatment and response status, provides a valuable resource not only for researchers wishing to access these samples through the ALLG Tissue Bank, but also allows stored tissue to be analysed for new prognostic markers and molecular subtypes to ensure that results from ongoing and completed clinical trials can be analysed incorporating stratification of these new entities. This ensures clinical trial results remain relevant in the current landscape of AML treatment. |

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
ALL6 Study
|
Registered Title |
A phase II trial of an intensive pediatric protocol incorporating post-induction stratification based on minimal residual disease levels for the treatment of adolescents aged 15 years and above, and young adults aged up to 40 years, with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). |
|
Purpose |
In this national study which will be carried out in a large number of Australian adult hospitals, a childhood ALL treatment program, which is currently being used in Children's hospitals in a separate national study, will be adapted for use in ALL patients aged 15 to 40 years, in order to find out whether this treatment can given as effectively as it can in young children. |
|
Lay Summary |
Patients will be started on a treatment protocol originally devised in Germany for use in children, and now used widely in other countries, including Australia. The first 2 months of treatment will be standard and given to all patients. This will involve being given several different chemotherapy drugs, according to a fixed schedule. Following this, treatment will depend on certain characteristics of the patient's leukaemia at diagnosis, and on the patient's response to the first 2 months of treatment. In the protocol that will be used in this study, the treatment given after the initial 2 months will be determined, as it is with children, by the risk group calculated for each individual patient. People who fit into Standard and Medium risk groups will be treated according to a particular protocol designed for children in these risk categories, while people who are shown to have high, medium high or very high risk disease will be given more intensive treatment, usually including bone marrow transplantation. |

Care After Lymphoma (Not Recruiting)
|
Registered Title |
Care After Lymphoma (CALy) Trial: A randomised controlled trial testing the effect of a pilot nurse-led lymphoma survivorship clinic with lymphoma survivors to decrease the number of unmet informational needs to reduce anxiety, stress and to increase self-empowerment. |
|
Purpose |
This project aims to develop and test a nurse-led model of survivorship care for lymphoma survivors. |
|
Lay Summary |
Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. Participants in one group will continue to receive usual follow-up care with their haematologist. Participants in the other group will take part in an evidenced-based survivorship clinic that will provide tailored care to patients who have completed active treatment. The intervention will involve three 1 hour face-to-face structured interviews that will occur over a 6 month period. These will involve discussion and delivery of a survivorship care plan, treatment summary and resource pack. Participants in both groups will be asked to complete a number of questionnaires at baseline, 3 months and 6 months in order to evaluate unmet informational and practical needs, depression, anxiety, stress, coping and self-empowerment. The findings from this study will make a significant contribution to the planning and delivery of survivorship care. |

WA Myeloma and Related Diseases Registry
|
Registered Title |
Myeloma and Related Diseases Registry. |
|
Purpose |
Long-term patient follow-up and review of clinical (safety and efficacy) and correlative data outside of clinical trials will be highly valuable in informing optimal treatment strategies for myeloma and its related diseases. Clinical registries provide a useful mechanism to collect data on patterns of treatment and variation in outcomes (both survival and quality of life). They enable clinicians to benchmark against national and international standards and allow evaluation of the translation of advances in therapy (such as introduction in new targeted therapies) into long-term outcomes outside the setting of clinical trials. |
