Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase 3 Randomized Trial of DFP-10917 vs Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax Combination Regimens) or Intensive Reinduction (High & Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens) for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Patients in Second, Third, or Fourth Salvage

Clinical Trial Summary

Phase III, multicenter, randomized study with two arms (1:1 ratio) enrolling patients with AML relapsed/refractory after 2, 3, or 4 prior induction regimens:

Experimental arm: DFP-10917 14-day continuous intravenous (IV) infusion at a dose of 6 mg/m²/day followed by a 14-day resting period per 28-day cycles.

Control arm: Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax Combination Regimens) or Intensive Reinduction (High and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens), depending on the patient's prior induction treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

Study to compare the rate of complete response (CR) and duration of CR, in patients with relapsed or refractory AML to two, three, or four prior induction regimens that may have included intensive chemotherapy (e.g., "7+3" cytarabine and daunorubicin), epigenetic therapy (i.e., azacitidine or decitabine), or targeted therapy (e.g., FLT-3, IDH-1/2, BCL-2, monoclonal antibody), who will receive DFP-10917 versus non-intensive reinduction (LoDAC, azacitidine, decitabine, venetoclax + LoDAC or azacitidine or decitabine) or intensive reinduction (high and intermediate dose cytarabine regimens) as a second, third, or fourth salvage treatment.

Experimental Arm DFP-10917 Dose: 6 mg/m²/day administered by continuous infusion for 14 days followed by a 14-day resting period per 28-day treatment cycle. If a patient experiences a significant treatment-related AE, the patient may undergo one dose reduction of DFP-10917 to 4 mg/m²/day x 14 days for subsequent treatment cycles

Control arm: Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax + LoDAC or Azacitidine or Decitabine) or Intensive Reinduction (High and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens), depending on the patient's prior induction treatment as well as the patient's clinical condition and comorbidities. Control treatment is to be selected only from among the following. Institutional practice for administering these treatments are permitted, but the dose and days of drug administration should be followed as below.

Non-Intensive Reinduction:

• LoDAC: 20 mg Cytarabine administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection, twice daily (BID) for 10 days, plus best supportive care per 28-day treatment cycle

• Azacitidine: 75 mg/m²/day administered by SC for 7 consecutive days (or 5+2), plus best supportive care per 28-day treatment cycle

• Decitabine: administered as continuous intravenous (CIV) infusion 20 mg/m² x 5 days plus best supportive care per 28 day treatment cycle

• Venetoclax + LoDAC or Azacitidine or Decitabine: In combination with LoDAC, Venetoclax will be administered via a daily ramp-up to a final 600 mg once daily dose. During the ramp-up, patients are to receive TLS prophylaxis and may be hospitalized for monitoring. Cytarabine will be administered subcutaneously at a dose of 20 mg/m² once daily on Days 1-10 of each 28-day cycle beginning Cycle 1 Day 1. In combination with Azacitidine or Decitabine, Venetoclax will be administered via a daily ramp-up to a final 400 mg once daily dose. Azacitidine will be administered intravenously or subcutaneously at a dose of 75 mg/m² on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1. Decitabine will be administered via IV at a dose of 20 mg/m² on Days 1-5 or 1-10, as per institutional practice, of each 28-day cycle beginning Cycle 1 Day 1.

Intensive Reinduction:

• High DAC = cytarabine at doses of 1-2 g/m²/day for up to 5 days, with a maximum total dose 10 g/m² per course

• FLAG = Days 1-5: fludarabine 30 mg/m² IV over 30 minutes, Days 1-5: cytarabine 1 2 grm/m² over 4 hours daily x 5, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 5 mcg/kg or 300 mcg/m² until Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil (PMN) recovery, with or without idarubicin Days 1-3 at 8 mg/m² IV daily x 3 (FLAG-Ida)

• MEC = Days 1-6: mitoxantrone 6 mg/m² IV bolus, etoposide 80 mg/m² IV over 1 hour, and cytarabine 1 grm/m² IV over 6 hrs (Etoposide may be deleted per institutional guidelines, i.e., HAM regimen)

• CLAG/M or Ida = cladribine 5 mg/m² on Days 1-5, cytarabine 2 g/m² on Days 1-5, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor 300 μg on Days 0-5 (G-CSF starts 24 hr prior to chemotherapy), and mitoxantrone 10 mg/m² on Days 1-3 or Idarubicin 10 mg/m² on Days 1-3

• Intermediate DAC = cytarabine 20 mg/m² IV daily x 5

The selection of control arm treatment will be determined by the investigator depending on the patient's prior initial induction and salvage treatment regimen(s), as well as the patient's clinical condition and comorbidities. The investigator will select the patient's control treatment from among the non-intensive or intensive regimens prior to study treatment randomization in order to balance treatment allocation between the experimental and control treatment arms. ;
