Clinical Trial Summary

This research is being done to assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of a promising regimen (Venetoclax combined with Azacitidine and Harringtonine) in patients with secondary AML This study involves the following: Venetoclax combined with Azacitidine and Harringtonine

Description:

This is an open-label,single center, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Venetoclax in combination with Azacitidine and Harringtonine in patients with sAML The FDA has approved the combination therapy of Venetoclax and Decitabine/Azacitidine for elderly (> 60-year-old) patients with newly diagnosed AML not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Venetoclax is an inhibitor of BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2, a protein that initiates tumor growth, disease progression, and drug resistance), which can lead to cancer cell death. Homoharringtonine (HHT), a plant alkaloid with antitumor properties originally identified nearly 40 years ago, has a unique mechanism of action by preventing the initial elongation step of protein synthesis. HHT has been used widely in China for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Participants will receive 1-2 cycles of intensive treatment and followed with consolidated therapy with the same regimen of 4-6 cycles.If CR is not achieved by induction therapy, re-induction therapy can be continued, and those who have not achieved CR after re-induction therapy will withdraw from the study. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) if the patient meets the criteria for transplantation during treatment and a suitable donor exists After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months for up to 2 years. It is expected that about 30 people will take part in this research study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of participants with complete remission (CR) and complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi)	CR is defined as absolute neutrophil count > 10^9/ L, platelets > 100×10^9/L, red cell transfusion independence, and bone marrow with < 5% blasts. CRi is defined as bone marrow with less than 5% blasts, and absolute neutrophils of < 10^9/L or platelets < 100×10^9/L.	From randomization to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary	Partial Remission (PR) Rate Secondary Outcome Measures: Secondary Outcome Measures: Partial Remission (PR) Rate	PR is defined as bone marrow with 5%~25% blasts, at least 50% lower than the initial diagnosis.	From randomization to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Complete Remission/ Complete Remission with incomplete count recovery/ Partial Remission/ Morphologic Leukemia Free State	From randomization to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary	Rate of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negativity	Percentage of participants who converted to MRD < 10^-3 before initiation of consolidation therapy. MRD is measured by MFC and RT-qPCR.	From randomization to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary	Overall survival (OS)	It is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive.	From the time of randomization to time for up to 2 years
Secondary	Disease-Free Survival (DFS)	It is defined as the time from the date of CR/CRi to the date of recurrence or death.	From the time of randomization to time for up to 2 years
Secondary	The proportion of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation	Proportion of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after disease remission	From the time of randomization to time for up to 2 years
Secondary	Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR)	It is measured from the date of CR/CRi to the date of relapse.	From the time of CR/CRi to time for up to 2 years
