Mercaptopurine for the Treatment of Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC), Uterine/Cutaneous Leiomyomas, and Kidney Cancer
Not Yet Recruiting · Phase 1 · Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center · registry updated 2026-08-06
Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of mercaptopurine, and to see how well it works in treating patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC). HLRCC is a rare inherited disorder that increases the risk of developing benign (not cancer) tumors of the skin and the uterus (leiomyomas) and malignant (cancer) tumors of the uterus (leiomyosarcoma) and the kidney. Mercaptopurine is in a class of medications called purine antagonists. It works by stopping the growth of cancer cells.
Inclusion
- Disease-causing, germline FH mutation including variants considered either:
- a) Pathogenic/likely pathogenic OR
- b) variants of unknown significance (VUS) with immunohistochemical staining showing loss of FH or high 2-SC expression in tumor tissue
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 1
- Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and NUDT15 homozygous, wild-type genotype
- TPMT\*1/TPMT\*1 and NUDT15\*1/ NUDT15\*1
Exclusion
- Absolute contraindication to the use of contrast-enhanced imaging for efficacy assessment. If moderate allergy, patients could be allowed if pre-medication can be given to limit adverse reactions. (\*Not relevant for skin-only cohort)
- Presence of untreated brain metastases. Treated brain metastases must be stable for 4 weeks after treatment, have no clinical symptoms, and not be on corticosteroids \> 10 mg/day of prednisone-equivalent \> 2 weeks prior to treatment. Patients with known leptomeningeal metastases are excluded
- Any active or recent history of a known or suspected autoimmune disease or recent history of a syndrome that required systemic corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug. An exception is allowed for syndromes which would not be expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger. Subjects with vitiligo or type I diabetes mellitus or residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis only requiring hormone replacement are permitted to enroll. Inhaled steroids and adrenal replacement steroid doses \> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease
- History of myocarditis or congestive heart failure (as defined by New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or IV), as well as unstable angina, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled infection, or myocardial infarction 6 months prior to study entry
- Known medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would increase the risk associated with study participation or interfere with the interpretation of safety results
- Individuals who are pregnant; negative serum pregnancy tests in patients of childbearing potential and consent to an effective contraceptive method (if needed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \[CDC\] guidelines provided) until a minimum of 30 days after cessation of therapy
