Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the response and safety of Cladribine plus Homoharringtonine and Cytarabine regimen (CHA) protocol in de novo acute myeloid leukemia with age <60y. This is a prospective, single-armed mono-center based investigator-initiated trial. About 30 patients who meet the enrollment criteria with be treated with CHA as induction chemotherapy. The complete response rate, survival rate, recurrence rate, and treatment-related mortality with be observed.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, a new chemotherapy regimen named CHA which composed of cladribine, homoharringtonine and cytarabine, was proposed for the induced remission treatment of adult acute myeloid leukemia, and the efficacy and safety of this regimen were evaluated. Enrolled patients will receive cladribine (5mg/m2, d1-3) + homoharringtonine (2mg/m2, d1-5) + cytarabine (100mg/m2, d1-7). If more than partial remission is achieved in the first course, a course of CHA regimen is repeated. If the first course of treatment did not achieve a partial response, or the second course of treatment did not achieve a complete response, the patient was withdrawn from the clinical study. Transplantation was stratification according to the prognostic risk stratification. Patients with favourable risk received 3 cycles of high-dose intravenous cytarabine (1-3g/m2, Q12H d1-3). Or 3 cycles of medium dose cytarabine (1.0g/m2, Q12H d1-3) combined with idarubicin (10mg/m2, d1-3) or etoposide (100mg, d1-3). Patients with intermediate risk who achieve minimal residual disease (MRD) negative in the first or second cycle can receive high-dose or intermediate-dose cytarabine chemotherapy, otherwise allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is recommended. Patients with high risk are advised to receive allogeneic HSCT, or receive high-dose or intermediate-dose cytarabine.Bone marrow samples were collected at enrollment for bone marrow cytology, flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing. The probes for targeted sequencing covered exons and selected introns of 88 myeloid leukaemia-related genes for next-generation sequencing. Bone marrow was collected on day 28 after each treatment cycle, including bone marrow cytology and measurable residual disease (MRD) assessments, for response assessment.The response assessment was evaluated according to the Revised Recommendations of the International Working Group for Diagnosis, Standardization of Response Criteria, Treatment Outcomes, and Reporting Standards for Therapeutic Trials in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The primary study endpoint was the composite complete remission (CR) rate (CR and CR with incomplete hematology recovery, CRi), assessed in all treated populations according to the Revised Recommendations of the International Working Group for Diagnosis, Standardization of Response Criteria, Treatment Outcomes, and Reporting Standards for Therapeutic Trials in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The secondary endpoints were minimal residual disease in bone marrow measured by flow cytometry after one cycle of induction therapy, as well as overall survival (OS), event-free survival, and adverse events, assessed in all treated populations. ;
