About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Study of ASP2215 Versus Salvage Chemotherapy in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) With FLT3 Mutation

The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical benefit of ASP2215 therapy in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) mutated AML who were refractory to or had relapse after first-line AML therapy as shown with overall survival (OS) compared to salvage chemotherapy. In addition, this study evaluated safety as well as determined the overall efficacy in event-free survival (EFS) and complete remission (CR) rate of ASP2215 compared to salvage chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Participants considered an adult according to local regulations at the time of signing informed consent were randomized in a 1:1 ratio and received ASP2215 or salvage chemotherapy. Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Prior to randomization, the investigator preselected a salvage chemotherapy regimen for each participant; options included low-dose cytarabine (LoDAC), mitoxantrone, etoposide and intermediate-dose cytarabine (MEC) or fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG). The randomization was stratified by response to first-line therapy and preselected salvage chemotherapy. Participants were administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles.

Among the participants, approximately 20 Chinese participants who were randomized into the ASP2215 arm were allocated to the pharmacokinetic (PK) cohort. Participants in the PK cohort were requested to be hospitalized from the date of randomization (Day 1) to at least the completion of all the assessments planned on Day 2. All participants in the PK cohort underwent blood sampling for PK measurement of ASP2215. Participants in PK cohort were administered the study drug in the same manner and underwent the same efficacy and safety assessments as other participants except for blood sampling for additional PK measurements.

    The BFI is a screening tool designed to assess the severity and impact of fatigue on daily functioning of participants with cancer during the 24 hours. There are 9 items on the scale. The first three questions ask participants to rate their fatigues on a scale from 0 (no fatigue) - 10 (as bad as you can imagine), with higher scores indicating worse outcome. The remaining six questions ask participants to rate how much fatigue has interfered with their daily activities on a scale from 0 (Does not interfere) to 10 (Completely interferes). A global fatigue score can be obtained by averaging all the items on the BFI, ranging between 0 to 10; a higher BFI fatigue score indicates worse outcome. The global BFI scores were calculated only if at least 5 of the 9 items are answered.

    Measured: Baseline, End of treatment (63 months)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable \& unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. TEAE was defined as an adverse event observed after starting administration of the study drug.

    Cmax was derived from the PK samples collected.

    Measured: C1D1: predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24 hour post dose, C1D15: predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24 hour post dose

  22. PK of Gilteritinib: Observed Trough Concentration (Ctrough)

    Ctrough was derived from the PK samples collected.

    Measured: Predose on C1D15

  23. PK of Gilteritinib in Chinese PK Cohort: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax)

    tmax was derived from the PK samples collected.

    Measured: C1D1: predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24 hours (+/- 20 minutes) post dose, C1D15: predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24 hours (+/- 20 minutes) post dose

  24. Ctrough Concentration of Gilteritinib

    Concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (0.5 ng/mL) were set to zero.

    Measured: Predose C1D8, C1D15, Day 1 of each cycle from C2 to C65, C67D1,C68D1,C69D1,C70D1

Individual data sharing
Yes: Access to anonymized individual participant level data collected during the study, in addition to study-related supporting documentation, is planned for studies conducted with approved product indications and formulations, as well as products terminated during development. Studies conducted with product indications or formulations that remain active in development are assessed after study completion to determine if Individual Participant Data can be shared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gilteritinib, Cytarabine and Mitoxantrone in people with AML With FLT3 Mutation, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 49 sites in 5 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 19 inclusion and 24 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 22 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 49 sites in China, Russia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore. 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Jan 2025). 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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: From the date of randomization up to the date of death (up to approximatley 74 months)). 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 NCT03182244, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Sep 2026.
