1 NDA Clofarabine Cl-F-Ara-A Presented by Martin Cohen, M.D. at the December 01, 2004 meeting of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee meeting
2 NDA Clofarabine Cl-F-Ara-A
3 Proposed Indication Clofarabine is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with refractory or relapsed acute leukemias.
4 Clofarabine Dose and Schedule Recommended pediatric dose is 52 mg/m2 intravenously over 1 to 2 hours daily for 5 consecutive days. Treatment cycles are repeated every 2 to 6 weeks following recovery or return to baseline organ function.

6 Study Objectives Primary Objective CR plus CRp rate Secondary Objectives - PR rate - Remission duration - Overall survival ( OS)
7 Inclusion criteria Age < 21 > 25% marrow blasts First or subsequent relapse and/or refractory (AML), Second or subsequent relapse and/or refractory (ALL) Ambulatory performance status Adequate organ status
8 Response Definitions CR: - no circulating blasts or extramedullary disease; - an M1 bone marrow (< 5% blasts); and - platelets >100 × 10 3 /mcL and ANC >1.0 × 10 3 /mcL). CRp: Patients who have met all criteria for CR except for recovery of platelet counts to > 100 × 10 3 /mcL. PR: : - no circulating blasts; - an M2 bone marrow (>5% and < 25% blasts); and appearance of normal progenitor cells - an M1 marrow that does not qualify for CR or CRp.

28 Efficacy Conclusions Pediatric AML Standard Criteria 1 CRp (3%) and 8 PR’s (23%) among 35 treated patients Remission duration cannot be determined because of transplant
29 Efficacy Conclusions Pediatric AML Exploratory 4 CLO + transplant patients had a longer TTP with that Rx than with the treatment immediately preceding CLO which may or may not have included transplant Of 2 patients with a prior transplant 1 had a longer TTP with clofarabine + transplant than with his preceding transplant. The other is too early to evaluate.
30 Efficacy Conclusions Pediatric ALL Standard 6 CR’s (12%), 4 CRp’s (8%) and 5 PR’s among 49 treated patients. 2 CR’s who did not have a transplant had a longer time to progression than was achieved with their immediate prior therapies. 1 CRp who did not have a transplant had a longer time to progression than was achieved with his immediate prior therapy.
31 Efficacy Conclusions Pediatric ALL Exploratory 2 CRp patients had a longer TTP with clofarabine + transplant than with the treatment immediately preceding clofarabine 1 of the above 2 patients had a pre-clofarabine transplant. This pt also had a longer TTP with clofarabine + transplant than with his preceding transplant regimen.
32 Safety Conclusions Toxicity was as expected for a heavily pretreated acute leukemia population Principal toxicities were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hematologic toxicity, fever and febrile neutropenia, hepatobiliary toxicity, infections and renal toxicity. SIRS, tumor lysis syndrome, multi-organ failure, hypotension, renal insufficiency and left ventricular systolic dysfunction can also occur.
