Rasburicase in Patients at High Risk for Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) During Cycle-2

NCT01200485

CompletedPhase 2

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Conditions: Leukemia, Lymphoma

Interventions: Rasburicase, Allopurinol

Countries: United States

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using Elitek (rasburicase) for 2 cycles can help to control or prevent TLS better than 1 cycle of rasburicase and 1 cycle of allopurinol. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients that are high risk for TLS or potential/intermediate risk for TLS as described below: (a) High risk: Hyperuricemia of malignancy (Uric acid levels \>7.5); or diagnosis of very aggressive lymphoma/leukemia based on Revised European-American Lymphoma (REAL) classification; acute myeloid leukemia, CML in blast crisis; high grade myelodysplastic syndrome only if they have \>10% bone marrow blast involvement and given aggressive treatment similar to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). (b) Potential risk: Diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma/leukemia based on (REAL) classification. Plus one or more of the following criteria: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) \>/= 2 x upper limit of normal (UNL); Stage III-IV disease; Stage I-II disease with at least 1 lymph node/tumor \> 5 cm in diameter. For patients with potential/intermediate risk for TLS- Only those planned to receive alternating regimens (or non-standard regimens) in 2 cycles (example; R-Hyper-central venous access device (CVAD) alternating with MTX/ARA-C) will be eligible.

4. Pregnancy or lactation.
5. Known history of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
6. Known history of hemolysis and/or methemoglobinemia.
7. Previous therapy with urate oxidase.
