All Clinical Trials for LEFLUNOMIDE

Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00001863 ↗ Leflunomide to Treat Uveitis Completed National Eye Institute (NEI) Phase 2 1999-03-01 This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the drug Leflunomide to treat uveitis-an inflammation of the eye caused by an immune system abnormality. Leflunomide suppresses immune system activity and has been shown to control autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis (joint inflammation), in animals. It has also improved symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the Food and Drug Administration has approved it for treating patients with this disease. Eye and joint inflammation may have similar causes, and medicines for arthritis often help patients with eye inflammation. This study will examine whether Leflunomide can help patients with uveitis. Patients with uveitis who are not responding well to steroid treatment and patients who have side effects from other medicines used to treat uveitis (such as cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate or azathioprine) or have refused treatment because of possible side effects of these medicines may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood test and eye examination. The eye exam includes a check of vision and eye pressure, examination of the back of the eye (retina) with an ophthalmoscope and the front of the eye with a microscope. They will also undergo a procedure called fluorescein angiography to look at the blood vessels of the eye. A dye called sodium fluorescein is injected into the bloodstream through a vein. After the dye reaches the blood vessels of the eye, photographs are taken of the retina. Study participants will be divided into two groups. One group will take 100 milligrams of Leflunomide once a day for 3 days and then 20 milligrams once a day for 6 months. The other group will take a placebo-a pill that looks like the Leflunomide pill but does not contain the medicine. All patients in both groups will also take prednisone. Patients will have follow-up examinations at weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 (6 months) of the study. Each follow-up visit will include a repeat of the screening exams and an evaluation of side effects or discomfort from the medicine. Those who do well and want to continue their assigned treatment after 6 months can continue that treatment for another 6 months and will have follow-up exams at months 9 and 12.
NCT00003293 ↗ SU-101 Compared With Procarbazine in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme Completed Pfizer Phase 3 1998-02-01 RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether SU-101 is more effective than procarbazine in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of SU-101 with that of procarbazine in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that has recurred.
NCT00003775 ↗ Leflunomide in Treating Patients With Anaplastic Astrocytoma in First Relapse Completed National Cancer Institute (NCI) Phase 2 1998-12-01 RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of leflunomide in treating patients who have anaplastic astrocytoma in first relapse.
NCT00003775 ↗ Leflunomide in Treating Patients With Anaplastic Astrocytoma in First Relapse Completed Pfizer Phase 2 1998-12-01 RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of leflunomide in treating patients who have anaplastic astrocytoma in first relapse.
NCT00004071 ↗ Mitoxantrone and Prednisone With or Without Leflunomide in Treating Patients With Stage IV Prostate Cancer Completed Pfizer Phase 2/Phase 3 1999-08-01 RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known if mitoxantrone and prednisone are more effective with or without leflunomide for treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to compare the effectiveness of mitoxantrone and prednisone with or without leflunomide in treating patients who have stage IV prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
NCT00101374 ↗ Effect of Leflunomide on T Cell Proliferation in HIV-Infected Patients Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 1 2005-01-05 This study will evaluate the effect of leflunomide on the life cycle of a specific immune cell called CD4+ T cell in HIV-infected patients. Leflunomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating rheumatoid arthritis. It works by blocking cell division in activated T cells. In HIV infection, the HIV virus causes increased activation of T cells. The activated cells become infected and die. Activation may also cause the death of T cells that are not infected with HIV. T cells are necessary for the body to fight infections and cancer. This study will see if leflunomide can block T-cell division and possibly reduce the number of cells that die, reduce the number of cells in which HIV can reproduce, and lead to a lower level of HIV virus in the body. HIV-infected patients between 18 and 65 years of age who have 1) HIV viral levels of 1,000 copies/mL or more, 2) a CD4+ T-cell count of 350 cells/mm3 or more, and 3) a CD4+ T-cell count that has never been less than 200 cells/mm3 may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, chest x-ray, and electrocardiogram (EKG). Participants are randomly assigned to take leflunomide or placebo (a substance with no active ingredient) every day for 28 days. They come to the clinic three times during the first 29 days of the study (days 1, 15, and 29) for a physical examination and review of any drug side effects. Patients taking placebo end their participation on day 29. Patients taking leflunomide stop taking the drug on day 29 and begin taking cholestyramine three times a day for 11 days out of the next 14 days to clear the leflunomide from their body. On day 43, they return to the clinic to have their leflunomide level checked to make sure that only very little or none of the drug remains in the body. If the level is low, patients end their participation on or around day 57. If the level remains high, they repeat the cholestyramine treatment.
NCT00230035 ↗ Lupus Immunosuppressive/Immunomodulatory Therapy or Stem Cell Transplant (LIST) Withdrawn National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 2 2005-09-01 Systemic lupus erythematosus, also known as lupus or SLE, is a chronic, multisystem, autoimmune disease in which the body's internal system of defense attacks its own normal tissues. This abnormal autoimmune response can result in damage to many parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, lungs, heart, brain, intestines, and kidneys. Both genetic and environmental risk factors are involved in the development of lupus, but these are poorly understood. SLE has an overall 10-year survival between 80 and 90%. However, we estimate that severe lupus not responding to the usual available treatments has a 50% mortality rate in 10 years. Kidney problems occur in 30% to 50% of lupus patients and may progress to kidney failure. Kidney disease due to lupus occurs more frequently in African-Americans and Hispanics. Lupus can affect many parts of the body and cause damage, but the severe form can result in death from kidney disease; cardiovascular disease, specifically atherosclerosis; central nervous system disease; and infections. Currently, no single standard therapy for treatment of severe SLE exists. Usually physicians prescribe an aggressive regimen of one or a combination of immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory treatments. This approach to therapy for all forms of severe SLE derives largely from studies of lupus nephritis. Current treatment, although effective in many people, are not effective in all patients and are associated with drug-induced morbidity. The design of the control arm for this study reflects the current status of treatment of SLE in the academic setting. Investigators may choose from a list of commonly used and currently available immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory treatments to optimize the treatment of their patients, based on their past treatment history and response to those treatments. Study treatments may consist of corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide (CTX), azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), rituximab, and leflunomide. Treatment may be changed as frequently and as necessary within the first year of the study to control the manifestations of SLE in each patient. New therapies that become available during the course of this trial may be added to the list of approved medications for this study. In response to the absence of a uniformly effective treatment for severe lupus, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been proposed as a potential therapy. Hematopoietic stem cells are immature blood cells that can develop into all of the different blood and immune cells the body uses. Researchers believe that resetting the immune system may stop or slow down the progression of the disease. The main purpose of this study is to compare two ways of treating SLE: 1) high-dose immunosuppressive therapy (HDIT) followed by HSCT and 2) currently available immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapies.
