Clinical Trial Summary

This phase 2 study evaluates the sequential combination of decitabine then midostaurin for the treatment of newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in older patients.


Description:

Treatment with decitabine, a cytidine analog, then midostaurin, a multi-target protein kinase inhibitor (PKI), may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

- Received anti-neoplastic treatment within 4 weeks prior to enrollment (EXCEPTION: hydroxyurea)

- Received any surgical procedure, excluding central venous catheter placement or other minor procedures (eg, skin biopsy) within 14 days of study day 1

- Received any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to enrollment

- Previous or current history of a myeloproliferative disease

- Known active central nervous system (CNS) malignancy

- Any other known disease (except carcinoma in-situ), concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition which could compromise participation in the study (eg, uncontrolled diabetes; cardiovascular disease including congestive heart failure; myocardial infarction within 6 months with poorly controlled hypertension; chronic renal disease; active uncontrolled infection)

- Active opportunistic infection or treatment for opportunistic infection within 4 weeks of first day of study drug dosing

- Known confirmed diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or active viral hepatitis

- Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of midostaurin

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to midostaurin and/or decitabine

- Impaired cardiac function including any of the following:

- Screening electrocardiogram (ECG) with a corrected QT interval (QTc) > 450 msec

- Bradycardia defined as heart rate (HR) < 50 beats per minute (bpm)

- Right bundle branch block + left anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block)

- Patients with myocardial infarction or unstable angina < 3 months prior to starting study drug

- Congestive heart failure (CHF) New York (NY) Heart Association class 3 or 4

- Inability to swallow or absorb drug

- Other medical or psychiatric illness or organ dysfunction or laboratory abnormality which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's safety or interfere with data interpretation

- Unwillingness or inability to comply with the protocol

- Pregnant

- nursing (lactating)

- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, UNLESS they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 3 months after midostaurin medication; highly effective contraception methods as follows:

- Total abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject [periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception]

- Female sterilization (surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy; or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment). In case of oophorectomy alone, reproductive status must be confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment

- Male sterilization, at least 6 months prior to screening (for female subjects on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject)

- Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c, or b+c):

- Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), eg, hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception. For oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment

- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)

- Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Complete Remission (CR) Rate The complete remission (CR) rate, or complete response rate, is reported as the sum and proportion of participants that achieved CR or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), within 12 months of starting midostaurin treatment.
Complete remission (CR): Bone marrow blasts < 5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/µL; platelet count > 100,000/µL; independence of red cell transfusions.
CR with incomplete recovery (CRi): All CR criteria except for ANC < 1000/µL or platelet count < 100,000/µL.
Partial remission (PR): All hematologic criteria of CR; except decrease of bone marrow blast percentage to 5% to 25%; and decrease of pretreatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%.
Up to 1 year
Secondary Overall Response Rate (ORR) Overall response rate (ORR) was assessed as the number and proportion of participants who received midostaurin and achieved a partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or complete response with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi).
Complete remission (CR): Bone marrow blasts < 5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/µL; platelet count > 100,000/µL; independence of red cell transfusions.
CR with incomplete recovery (CRi): All CR criteria except for ANC < 1000/µL or platelet count < 100,000/µL.
Partial remission (PR): All hematologic criteria of CR; except decrease of bone marrow blast percentage to 5% to 25%; and decrease of pretreatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%.
up to 1 year
Secondary Median Duration of Response (DoR) Response was assessed by evaluations conducted every 3 cycles (12 weeks). Once documented as partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or complete response with incomplete blood count recover (CRi), response status was confirmed every 12 weeks. In responding participants, duration of response was assessed from the start of treatment through the last documented response before documented progressive disease or death. The outcome is reported as the median value for duration of response, with full range.
CR: Bone marrow blasts < 5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; ANC > 1000/µL; platelet > 100,000/µL; independence of red cell transfusions.
CRi: All CR criteria except ANC < 1000/µL or platelet count < 100,000/µL.
PR: All hematologic criteria of CR; except decrease of bone marrow blast percentage to 5% to 25%; & decrease of pretreatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%.
Up to 1 year
Secondary Progression-free Survival (PFS) Progression-free survival (PFS) is reported as the number and proportion of participants who did not receive hematopoietic cell transplantation, and who did not experience disease progression or death for any reason within 2 years after starting midostaurin treatment.
Progressive disease: Bone marrow blasts = 5%; or reappearance of blasts in the blood; or development of extramedullary disease.
Up to 2 years
Secondary Overall Survival (OS) Survival is reported as the number and proportion of participants that received midostaurin who remained alive 2 years after starting midostaurin treatment. Up to 2 years
