A phase II multicenter study of troxacitabine in relapsed or refractory lymphoproliferative neoplasms or multiple myeloma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Options for patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoproliferative disorders and multiple myeloma are currently limited. Troxacitabine has shown promise in preclinical studies in a variety of malignancies; hence, the current study was conducted to evaluate the activity of troxacitabine in relapsed or refractory lymphoid malignancies. This was a phase II, open-label, multinational, multicenter study of patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoproliferative disorders or multiple myeloma. Thirty-four adults were enrolled in the study and received the study drug at either 5.4 mg/m2 (n = 16) or 4.3 mg/m2 (n = 18). The dose was decided in a phase I study, during which dose escalation was carried to reach a maximum tolerated dose with an acceptable toxicity profile. Two separate phase I studies were performed in Europe and the US. Troxacitabine was administered by intravenous infusion over 30 min daily for days 1 - 5 every 4 weeks. Treatment was continued to disease progression or until the subjects met criteria for withdrawal or unacceptable toxicities were evident as outlined in the protocol. Two patients had a partial response (PR) to treatment with troxacitabine to yield an overall response rate of 13%. There were no complete responses seen with the drug. Stable disease was achieved in 15 patients (44%). All patients had at least one treatment related adverse event, which led to six withdrawals from the study. Hematologic toxicity constituted the most common adverse events. Serious adverse effects were seen in 62% of patients. None of the 13 deaths were attributed directly to troxacitabine. As a single agent, troxacitabine has limited benefit in patients with advanced lymphoproliferative disorders or multiple myeloma. Future studies will be needed to address modified dosing according to emerging pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and combination therapy which may lead to improved clinical benefit for troxacitabine in hematologic malignancies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
