Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18-60 years, inclusive
  • Newly diagnosed disease with either a diagnosis of "high-risk" MDS (>= 10% blasts in marrow or blood), high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN; >= 10% blasts in blood or bone marrow), or AML other than acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Patients with biphenotypic AML are eligible; such "high-risk" MDS or MPN have natural history much closer to AML than to lower risk MDS or MPN and have responded similarly to "AML-type" therapy.
  • Outside diagnostic material is acceptable as long as peripheral blood and/or bone marrow slides are reviewed at the study institution by appropriate clinical staff. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood and/or bone marrow should be performed according to institutional practice guidelines.
  • Treatment-related mortality (TRM) score =< 13.1 as calculated with simplified model
  • The use of hydroxyurea prior to study registration is allowed. Patients with symptoms/signs of hyperleukocytosis, white blood cell (WBC) > 100,000/uL, or acute symptoms can be treated with leukapheresis or may receive up to 2 doses of cytarabine (up to 500 mg/m^2/dose) prior to study day 0 enrollment
  • Bilirubin =< 2 times institutional upper limit of normal unless elevation is thought to be due to hepatic infiltration by AML, Gilbert's syndrome, or hemolysis (assessed within 10 days prior to study day 0)
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Serum creatinine =< 2.0 mg/dL (assessed within 10 days prior to study day 0)
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction >= 45%, assessed within 3 months prior to study day 0, e.g. by multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) scan or echocardiography, or other appropriate diagnostic modality and no clinical evidence of congestive heart failure
  • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception beginning at the signing of the consent until at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug
  • Provide written informed consent (or legal representative)

Who cannot join

  • Myeloid blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), unless patient is not considered candidate for CML-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment (excluding sorafenib)
  • Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of < 1 year
  • Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection, unless disease is under treatment with anti-microbials and/or controlled or stable (e.g. if specific, effective therapy is not available/feasible or desired [e.g. chronic viral hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]). Patient needs to be clinically stable as defined as being afebrile and hemodynamically stable for 24-48 hours prior to study day 0, unless fever is thought to be secondary to the underlying hematologic disease.
  • Active or clinically significant (or symptomatic) cardiac disease, including active coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy other than beta blockers or digoxin within the last 3 months, unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest), new-onset angina within 3 months before randomization, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before study day 0
  • Previous receipt of azacitidine, decitabine, anthracyclines, cytarabine, or other nucleoside analogues for treatment of AML or MPN/MDS other than as noted for cytarabine

About this study

Official title: Addition of Sorafenib to G-CSF, Cladribine, Cytarabine and Mitoxantrone (G-CLAM) in Adults With Newly-Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Independent of FLT3-ITD Status: A Phase 1/2 Study

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]), cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, when given together with sorafenib and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (likely to be more aggressive). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving filgrastim, cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone together with sorafenib may kill more cancer cells.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of mitoxantrone and sorafenib followed by a phase II study.

INDUCTION: Patients receive mitoxantrone intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1-3 and sorafenib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 10-19 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) once daily (QD) on days 0-5, cladribine IV QD over 2 hours on days 1-5, and cytarabine IV QD over 2 hours on days 1-5 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving partial remission (including MRD positive [pos] CR, CR with incomplete platelet recovery [CRp], and CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]) or persistent AML may receive up to 2 cycles of induction therapy per the discretion of the treating physician.

POST-REMISSION: Patients receive sorafenib PO BID on days 8-27 or 3 days prior to next cycle of treatment, whichever occurs first. Patients also receive filgrastim subcutaneously SC QD on days 0-5, cladribine IV QD over 2 hours on days 1-5, and cytarabine IV QD over 2 hours on days 1-5 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving MRDneg CR may receive up to 4 cycles of post-remission therapy. Patients achieving disease response (MRDpos CR, CRi/CRp, or persistent disease) may receive up to two induction cycles and 1 cycle of post-remission therapy with mitoxantrone omitted in cycle 3. If they then enter MRDneg CR, they can proceed with up to a total of 4 cycles of post-remission therapy.

MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients achieving MRDneg CR may receive maintenance therapy of sorafenib PO BID for up to 1 year.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Mitoxantrone

    MTD/RP2D will be defined as the highest dose studied in which the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is < 33% assuming at least 6 patients have been treated at this dose. DLTs were defined as: 1) grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting >48 hours leading to >7-day delay of the next cycle; 2) grade ≥4 non-hematologic toxicity if no recovery to grade ≤2 in 14 days (both excluding febrile neutropenia/ infection); 3) Absolute neutrophil count <500/ µL or platelet count <50,000/µL for >49 days after CLAGM+S without marrow evidence of AML. Doses were escalated up to dose level six if <2/6 patients out of each cohort of 6 had a DLT (some cohorts were expanded to 12 patients while awaiting completion of DLT monitoring period). The dose level at which dose escalation was stopped was the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

    Measured: First 28 days of treatment

  2. Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Sorafenib

    MTD/RP2D will be defined as the highest dose studied in which the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is < 33% assuming at least 6 patients have been treated at this dose. DLTs were defined as: 1) grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting >48 hours leading to >7-day delay of the next cycle; 2) grade ≥4 non-hematologic toxicity if no recovery to grade ≤2 in 14 days (both excluding febrile neutropenia/ infection); 3) Absolute neutrophil count <500/ µL or platelet count <50,000/µL for >49 days after CLAGM+S without marrow evidence of AML. Doses were escalated up to dose level six if <2/6 patients out of each cohort of 6 had a DLT (some cohorts were expanded to 12 patients while awaiting completion of DLT monitoring period). The dose level at which dose escalation was stopped was the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

    Measured: First 28 days of treatment

  3. Phase I and II: Rate of Minimal Residual Disease Negative (MRDneg) Complete Response (CR)

    We will determine if the addition of sorafenib to CLAG-M improves the rate of MRDneg CR compared to our institution's historical control of CLAG-M alone in adults with newly-diagnosed AML/high-risk MDS.

    Measured: 56 days (2 cycles of induction chemotherapy)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Complete Remission (CR)

    Complete remission (CR) is defined as bone marrow blasts <5%; absence of circulating blasts; absence of extramedullary disease; ANC ≥1.0 x 10^9/L; platelet count ≥100 x 10^9/L.

    CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) is CR with ANC <1.0 x10^9/L or platelet count <100 x 10^9/L.

    Measurable residual disease (MRD) is assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry and PCR.

    Morphologic leukemia free state (MLFS) is bone marrow blasts <5%; absence of circulating blasts; absence of extramedullary disease; no hematologic recovery.

    Resistant disease is defined as not not meeting the criteria for CR, CRi, MLFS.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR, defined as CR+CRi, rates of patients treated with CLAG-M with sorafenib.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    12-month overall survival

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Event-free Survival (EFS)

    12-month event free survival

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Relapse-free Survival (RFS)

    12-month relapse free survival (RFS)

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Will be assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cladribine, Cytarabine and Filgrastim in people with Acute Biphenotypic Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 5 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 29 Jun 2023). 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 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Mitoxantrone (time frame: First 28 days of treatment). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02728050, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jul 2023.
