About this study

Official title: An Investigator Sponsored Phase I Trial of Selinexor (KPT-330) Plus FLAG-Ida for the Treatment of Relapsing/Refractory AML

This protocol corresponds to a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, phase I study designed to determine the safety of the combination of selinexor with chemotherapy in young patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

The clinical trial is divided into pre-treatment, treatment (induction and consolidation cycles) and follow-up periods and consists of a phase I design in which es-calating doses of selinexor will be given to 3 groups, each with 3-6 patients until achieving the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Study Design:

This protocol corresponds to a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, phase I study designed to determine the safety of the combination of selinexor with chemotherapy in young patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

The clinical trial is divided into pre-treatment, treatment (induction and consolidation cycles) and follow-up periods and consists of a phase I design in which es-calating doses of selinexor will be given to 3 groups, each with 3-6 patients until achieving the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Each cycle (second induction, consolidation or maintenance) of treatment will compromise 3 weeks of selinexor treatment, and at least one week off treatment. The new cycle will not start if there is an ongoing grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity or persistent grade 3 neutropenia in patients achieving CR.

Study design allows a maximum of 18 patients.

Induction cycle (up to 2 cycles):

Treatment will consist of fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day intravenously on days 1 to 4, idarubicin 10 mg/m2/day intravenously on days 1 to 3, cytarabine 2 g/m2/day intravenously on days 1 to 4, G-CSF 300 mcg/m2/day subcutaneously from days -1 to 5. This schedule will be combined with oral selinexor (KPT-330) for three weeks at days and dose according to escalation level:

  • Level -1: Selinexor 40 mg/day, once weekly
  • Level 1: Selinexor 60 mg/day, once weekly
  • Level 2: Selinexor 80 mg/day, once weekly
  • Level 3: Selinexor 100 mg/day, once weekly If a partial response is obtained after the first cycle of treatment, an identical induction therapy will be administered.

If a patient achieves a complete remission after 1 or 2 cycles of FLAG-IDA plus selinexor, allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) will be attempted. If Allo-SCT is not possible, this patient will receive consolidation treatment as described below.

Consolidation cycle (up to 2 cycles):

Treatment will consist of cytarabine 1 g/m2/day intravenously (3 hours) on days 1 to 6. This schedule will be combined with oral selinexor (the same dosage that was administered to the patient in the induction cycle).

At most, patients will receive up to 4 cycles of combined chemotherapy.

Maintenance cycle:

For patients in CR, and when an Allo-SCT is not feasible, a maintenance treatment with selinexor could be started for up to 6 cycles.

Selinexor will be given at the same level as during induction therapy in cycles of four weeks (3 weeks on selinexor and 1 week off).

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of selinexor in combination with FLAG-Ida regimen

    A standard 3 + 3 dose escalation schedule will be used for all escalations. Initially, three patients will be entered in each cohort at the scheduled starting dose level for that cohort. If a drug-related DLT (see Section 5.1.5.3) is not seen at the scheduled dose, the dose will be escalated for the subsequent group of 3 patients.

    If 1 of 3 patients experiences a drug-related DLT, then 3 additional patients will receive that dose. If ≤ 2 of 6 patients experiences a drug-related DLT, the next scheduled dose level will be available. If, at a given dose level, > 2 patients experience a drug-related DLT, the MTD will have been exceeded, additional enrollment within that cohort will cease, and dose escalation will stop.

    If a dose level proves intolerable (≥ 3 patients experience a DLT), enrollment will proceed at one dose-level lower.

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)

  2. Find recommended phase 2 dose

    A standard 3 + 3 dose escalation schedule will be used for all escalations. Initially, three patients will be entered in each cohort at the scheduled starting dose level for that cohort. If a drug-related DLT (see Section 5.1.5.3) is not seen at the scheduled dose, the dose will be escalated for the subsequent group of 3 patients.

    If 1 of 3 patients experiences a drug-related DLT, then 3 additional patients will receive that dose. If ≤ 2 of 6 patients experiences a drug-related DLT, the next scheduled dose level will be available. If, at a given dose level, > 2 patients experience a drug-related DLT, the MTD will have been exceeded, additional enrollment within that cohort will cease, and dose escalation will stop.

    If a dose level proves intolerable (≥ 3 patients experience a DLT), enrollment will proceed at one dose-level lower.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Selinexor, fludarabine and idarubicin in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 4 sites in Spain.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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 20 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Spain. 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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of selinexor in combination with FLAG-Ida regimen (time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 56 days)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03661515, 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 20 May 2020.
