Information source: Children's Oncology Group
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Acute Leukemias of Ambiguous Lineage; Bacterial Infection; Diarrhea; Fungal Infection; Musculoskeletal Complications; Neutropenia; Recurrent Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Recurrent Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Untreated Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Other Myeloid Malignancies

Intervention: levofloxacin (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Children's Oncology Group

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Sarah Alexander, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Children's Oncology Group

Summary

This randomized phase III trial studies how well levofloxacin works in preventing infection in young patients with acute leukemia receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant. Giving antibiotics may be effective in preventing or controlling early infection in patients receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant for acute leukemia. It is not yet known whether levofloxacin is effective in preventing infection.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Levofloxacin to Prevent Bacteremia in Children Being Treated for Acute Leukemia (AL) or Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Investigator), Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Primary outcome: Occurrence of at least 1 episode of true bacteremia among AL and HSCT subjects, respectively

Secondary outcome:

Susceptibility of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa stool or peri-rectal swab isolates to cefepime, imipenem, and levofloxacin

Susceptibility of S. mitis peri-rectal swab isolates to cefepime, levofloxacin, and penicillin

Presence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Resistance patterns for the gastrointestinal isolates colonizing each patient

Resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from all sterile site cultures

Duration of parenteral antibiotic administration

Incidence of febrile neutropenia

Incidence of severe infection

Incidence of death from bacterial infection

Incidence of musculoskeletal adverse events

Incidence of tendinopathy (tendonitis and tendon rupture)

Incidence of CDAD, defined as a positive C. difficile toxin assay result and diarrhea, CTCAE version 4, grade 2 and higher

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether levofloxacin given prophylactically during periods of neutropenia to patients being treated with chemotherapy for acute leukemia (AL) or undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) will decrease the incidence of bacteremia. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of prophylactic levofloxacin on resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from all sterile site cultures, and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance from peri-rectal swab isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus mitis. II. To determine the effect of levofloxacin prophylaxis on total number of days of antibiotic administration (prophylactic, empiric, and treatment) in children undergoing therapy for AL or HSCT. III. To determine whether levofloxacin prophylaxis reduces the incidence of fever with neutropenia, severe infection, and death from bacterial infection. IV. To assess the safety of levofloxacin prophylaxis, with specific attention to musculoskeletal disorders including tendinopathy and tendon rupture. V. To assess the impact of prophylactic levofloxacin on the incidence of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), and the incidence of microbiologically documented invasive fungal infections (IFI). OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive levofloxacin orally (PO) or intravenously (IV) over 60-90 minutes once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) beginning on day 3 during 2 consecutive courses of

chemotherapy or beginning on day - 2 during HSCT and continuing until blood counts recover.

ARM II: Patients receive established standard of care and receive chemotherapy or HSCT as patients in Arm I. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 1 year.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 6 Months. Maximum age: 21 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient must fit 1 of the following 2 categories:

- Chemotherapy patients

- Planned to receive at least 2 consecutive cycles (not required to be the

first 2 cycles) of intensive chemotherapy for either:

- De novo, relapsed or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or acute

leukemia of ambiguous lineage treated with standard AML therapy

- Relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

- For the purposes of this study, "intensive chemotherapy" is defined as

regimens that are predicted by the local investigator to cause neutropenia for > 7 days; examples include, but are not limited to, treatment with "4-drug induction" (anthracycline, vincristine, asparaginase, and steroid), high dose cytarabine, anthracycline/cytarabine, ifosfamide/etoposide, and clofarabine-containing regimens

- Stem cell transplantation patients

- Planned to receive at least 1 myeloablative autologous or allogeneic HSCT

- For the purposes of this study, myeloablative autologous and allogeneic

HSCT are those in which the conditioning regimen is predicted by the local Investigator to cause neutropenia for > 7 days

- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 70

mL/min/1. 73 m^2 OR serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

- 0. 5 mg/dL (6 months to < 1 year of age)

- 0. 6 mg/dL (1 to < 2 years of age)

- 0. 8 mg/dL (2 to < 6 years of age)

- 1. 0 mg/dL (6 to < 10 years of age)

- 1. 2 mg/dL (10 to < 13 years of age)

- 1. 5 mg/dL (male)/1. 4 mg/dL (female) (13 to < 16 years of age)

- 1. 7 mg/dL (male)/1. 4 mg/dL (female) (>= 16 years of age)

- Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology

Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1, or 2; use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age

- All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed

consent

- All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute

(NCI) requirements for human studies must be met Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients previously enrolled on the trial are not eligible; therefore, patients with

AL who were on study during intensive chemotherapy are not eligible to be enrolled during the HSCT

- Patients with an allergy to quinolones

- Patients with chronic active arthritis

- Patients with a known pathologic prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc)

- Females who are pregnant or breast feeding

- Patients being treated with antibacterial agents, other than any of the following:

- Cotrimoxazole or other agents including dapsone, atovaquone, and pentamidine

administered for Pneumocystitis jiroveci (PCP) prophylaxis

- Topical antibiotics

- Central venous catheter antibiotic lock therapy

- Note: prophylactic antifungal therapy is NOT an exclusion criterion

- Patients currently enrolled on the ACCL1034 study are not eligible until they have

completed the 90 day observation period of that study
