About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Phase I/II Trial to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose and Investigate Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of BI 836858 in Combination With Decitabine in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phase I Dose Escalation:

Primary objective is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the recommended dose for Phase I Extension.

Secondary objective is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of BI 836858 in combination with decitabine

Phase I Extension:

Primary objective is to collect additional data on safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy and to define the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of BI 836858 in combination with decitabine.

Phase II: Primary objective is to investigate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BI 836858 in combination with decitabine compared to decitabine monotherapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Phase I: Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT(s)) During First Treatment Cycle

    Number of patients with dose limiting toxicity (DLT(s)) for BI 836858 in combination with decitabine during first treatment cycle (Phase 1).

    DLT was defined as any non-disease-related non-haematological adverse event (AE) of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or higher. Expected non-haematological disease-related AEs were not to be regarded as a DLT.

    These included complications resulting from haematological AEs such as:

    • Bleeding and complications from bleeding due to thrombocytopenia as defined by the Investigator,
    • Infection and complications from infections due to neutropenia as defined by the Investigator,
    • Constitutional symptoms due to anaemia as defined by the Investigator

    Measured: Up to 28 days (first treatment cycle).

  2. Phase I: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of BI 836858 in Combination With Decitabine

    The Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 836858 in combination with decitabine was estimated after the dose escalation part of the trial obtaining on the basis of dose limiting toxicities (DLT(s)) observed during the first treatment cycle. However, for those patients who receive more than one cycle of the combination treatment, all adverse events that constitute a DLT will be considered for re-estimation of the MTD based on the Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM). The MTD is defined as the highest dose of BI 836858 (in combination with decitabine) with less than 25% risk of the true DLT rate being above 33% during the MTD evaluation period.

    Measured: From first drug administration until end of treatment, up to 941 days.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Phase 1: Number of Patients With Objective Response (CR + CRi)

    Number of patients with objective response (Complete remission (CR) + complete remission with incomplete remission (CRi)).

    CR was defined as bone marrow (BM) blasts < 5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count > 1.0 x 109/L [1,000/μL]; platelet count > 100 x 109/L [100,000/μL]; independence of red blood cells transfusions (no transfusion for 1 week prior to the assessment). No minimum duration of response is required.

    CRi was defined as all CR criteria except for residual neutropenia (< 1.0 x 109/L [1,000/μL]) or thrombocytopenia (< 100 x 109/L [100,000/μL]).

    Measured: From start of treatment until the earliest of progression, death or end of trial, up to 971 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Decitabine and BI 836858 in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 14 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, United States, Spain, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Mar 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase I: Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT(s)) During First Treatment Cycle (time frame: Up to 28 days (first treatment cycle).). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2024.
