[Phase I study of nelarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL/T-LBL].
The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of nelarabine were evaluated in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL/T-LBL. Adult patients received nelarabine i.v. over 2 hours on days 1, 3 and 5 in every 21 days, and pediatric patients received this regimen over 1 hour for 5 consecutive days in every 21 days. Safety was evaluated in 7 adult and 6 pediatric patients. Adverse events (AEs) were reported in all patients. Most frequently reported AEs included somnolence and nausea in adult patients and leukopenia and lymphocytopenia in pediatric patients. Five grade 3/4 AEs were reported in both adult and pediatric patients, most of which were hematologic events. There were no dose-limiting toxicities. Efficacy was evaluated in 7 adult and 4 pediatric patients. Complete response was noted in 1 adult and 2 pediatric patients. Higher intracellular ara-GTP concentrations were suggested to be associated with efficacy. Japanese adult and pediatric patients with T-ALL/T-LBL well tolerated nelarabine treatment, warranting further investigation.

Evaluation of the combination of nelarabine and fludarabine in leukemias: clinical response, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in leukemia cells.
A pilot protocol was designed to evaluate the efficacy of fludarabine with nelarabine (the prodrug of arabinosylguanine [ara-G]) in patients with hematologic malignancies. The cellular pharmacokinetics was investigated to seek a relationship between response and accumulation of ara-G triphosphate (ara-GTP) in circulating leukemia cells and to evaluate biochemical modulation of cellular ara-GTP metabolism by fludarabine triphosphate.. Nine of the 13 total patients had indolent leukemias, including six whose disease failed prior fludarabine therapy. Two patients had T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one had chronic myelogenous leukemia, and one had mycosis fungoides. Nelarabine (1.2 g/m(2)) was infused on days 1, 3, and 5. On days 3 and 5, fludarabine (30 mg/m(2)) was administered 4 hours before the nelarabine infusion. Plasma and cellular pharmacokinetic measurements were conducted during the first 5 days.. Seven patients had a partial or complete response, six of whom had indolent leukemias. The disease in four responders had failed prior fludarabine therapy. The median peak intracellular concentrations of ara-GTP were significantly different (P =.001) in responders (890 micromol/L, n = 6) and nonresponders (30 micromol/L, n = 6). Also, there was a direct relationship between the peak fludarabine triphosphate and ara-GTP in each patient (r = 0.85). The cellular elimination of ara-GTP was slow (median, 35 hours; range, 18 to > 48 hours). The ratio of ara-GTP to its normal counterpart, deoxyguanosine triphosphate, was higher in each patient (median, 42; range, 14 to 1,092) than that of fludarabine triphosphate to its normal counterpart, deoxyadenosine triphosphate (median, 2.2; range, 0.2 to 27).. Fludarabine plus nelarabine is an effective, well-tolerated regimen against leukemias. Clinical responses suggest the need for further exploration of nelarabine against fludarabine-refractory diseases. Determination of ara-GTP levels in the target tumor population may provide a prognostic test for the activity of nelarabine.

Pharmacologic purging of malignant T cells from human bone marrow using 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine.
Arabinosylguanine (araG) is a nucleoside analog that is rapidly converted by cells of the T lymphoid lineage to its corresponding arabinosylguanine nucleotide triphosphate, resulting in inhibition of DNA synthesis and selective in vitro toxicity to T lymphoblastoid cell lines as well as to freshly isolated leukemia cells from patients with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In this report, we demonstrate that araG is an effective agent to use for chemoseparation of malignant T lymphoblasts from human bone marrow. When freshly isolated human T leukemia cells or T lymphoblastoid cells were treated with 100 microM araG for 18 hr, up to 6 logs of clonogenic T cells could be eliminated without appreciable toxicity to the normal myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytoid clonal progenitor cells. We discuss the use of this agent in ex vivo elimination of residual malignant T cells from marrow of patients requiring myeloablative chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow rescue.
