About this study

Official title: A Phase II Randomized Clinical Trial of Venetoclax Combined With FLAG IDA Induction and Consolidation Compared to Standard of Care for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This phase II trial compares induction and consolidation therapy with fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax to cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with AML often receive induction and consolidation therapy. Induction therapy is given first to get the patient's AML under control (remission). Consolidation therapy is given after the cancer has disappeared following the initial therapy. Consolidation therapy is used to kill any cancer cells that may be left in the body. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and daunorubicin, 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. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax for induction and consolidation therapy may be more effective in treating AML.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Assess the efficacy of treatment based on rates of measurable residual disease negative composite complete remission (CRc-MRD-) determined using multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess the efficacy of treatment based on complete response (CR) disease remission.

II. Assess the efficacy of treatment based on overall clinical response. III. Assess the safety of treatment. IV. Assess survival in the absence of treatment failure, hematologic relapse, or progressive disease.

  1. Assess patient survival after commencing study therapy. VI. Assess the delay in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) referral and consultation for transition to HSCT.

VII. Assess the efficacy of treatment based on transitioning to HSCT. VIII. Assess disease response after transplant among participants who proceed to HSCT.

IX. Assess risk of post-transplant infection among participants who proceed to HSCT.

  1. Assess risk of post-transplant graft versus host disease (GVHD) among participants who proceed to HSCT.

XI. Assess survival in the absence of post-HSCT GVHD and relapse among participants who proceed to HSCT.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the depth of response with measurable residual disease (MRD) testing and compare methods of determining MRD status.

II. Evaluate survival of measurable residual disease negative (MRD-) patients with CR versus CR with partial or incomplete hematologic recovery.

III. Assess participant quality of life (QoL) using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM 1:

INDUCTION: Patients receive cytarabine IV on days 1-7 and daunorubicin (or idarubicin per treating physician's discretion) IV on days 1-3 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 1 cycle in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving CR, CRh, CRi, or MLFS after one induction cycle proceed to consolidation. Patients achieving PR after one induction cycle may proceed to consolidation at the investigator's discretion. Patients with ≥ 5% blasts after one induction cycle may receive a second cycle of induction therapy. Patients with TKD3 mutation receive a FLT3 inhibitor on study.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes and cytarabine IV over 4 hours on days 2, 3, and 4 of each cycle, idarubicin IV over 15-30 minutes on days 4, 5, and 6 of either cycles 3 and 6 or cycles 4 and 7, and venetoclax PO QD on days 3-9 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 post-induction cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM 2:

INDUCTION: Patients receive cytarabine IV on days 1-7 and daunorubicin IV on days 1-3 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 1 cycle in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving CR, CRh, CRi, or MLFS after one induction cycle proceed to consolidation. Patients achieving PR after one induction cycle may proceed to consolidation at the investigator's discretion. Patients with ≥ 5% blasts after one induction cycle may receive a second cycle of induction therapy.

CONSOLIDATION: Participants receive cytarabine IV over 3 hours twice daily (BID) on days 1, 3, and 5 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 4 post-induction cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Additionally, all patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan during screening and on study as clinically indicated. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of participants achieving measurable residual disease negative composite complete remission (CRc-MRD-)

    Will be defined as the achievement of both measurable disease negative (MRD-) by multiparameter flow cytometry and complete response (CR), CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi). Participants who do not qualify as efficacy-evaluable (usually due to early death or withdrawal because of toxicity) will be considered non-responders. A point estimate and 95% exact confidence interval (CI) for CRc MRD- will be computed for each arm (and time point) separately and the CRc MRD- rate will be statistically compared across arms with Fisher's exact test at 3 timepoints: end of induction, end of the first consolidation cycle, and end of treatment. A Hochberg multiplicity adjustment will be applied to the p-values from these 3 Fisher exact tests to control the family wise error rate (at α=0.05) for between-arm comparisons of the primary endpoint. CRc MRD- status at each of the above-specified time points will be modeled with logistic regression.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post last dose of study drug

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Percentage of participants achieving CR

    Will be computed for each arm separately in both the safety set and the efficacy set. Will be presented with a point estimate and exact binomial 95% CI. will also be modeled with logistic regression with baseline patient and disease features as predictors and results considered hypothesis-generating.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post last dose of study drug

  2. Percentage of participants achieving composite complete remission (CRc)

    CRc will be defined as the achievement of CR, CRh, or CRi. Will be computed for each arm separately in both the safety set and the efficacy set. Will be presented with a point estimate and exact binomial 95% CI. will also be modeled with logistic regression with baseline patient and disease features as predictors and results considered hypothesis-generating.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post last dose of study drug

  3. Percentage of participants achieving an overall response (ORR)

    Will be defined as the proportion of participants who attain a partial remission (PR) or better (i.e., CR, CRh, CRi, morphologic leukemia-free state, or PR) after receiving study treatment. Will be computed for each arm separately in both the safety set and the efficacy set and presented with point estimate and exact binomial 95% CI. Will also be modeled with logistic regression with baseline patient and disease features as predictors and results considered hypothesis-generating.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post last dose of study drug

  4. Incidence of treatment-emergent grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs)

    Will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. The incidence of specific grade ≥ 3 AEs will be reported with frequencies and percentages, at the overall participant level and by grade, attribution (i.e., a separate table for treatment-related AEs), and seriousness (i.e., separate tables for serious adverse events).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the last dose of any study drug

  5. Event free survival (EFS)

    If these events do not occur prior to end of study (EOS), participant is censored at date of last disease assessment. Will be estimated for the efficacy set using the Kaplan-Meier method, with median EFS and EFS rates at common landmark times (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 2 years) presented with 95% log-log CIs. Cox models will be fit to EFS to assess the impact of baseline patient and disease features, with model results (i.e., hazard ratios and Wald test p-values) interpreted as hypothesis-generating.

    Measured: From cycle (C)1 day(D)1 to first occurrence of treatment failure, disease progression, or death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    If no death occurs prior to EOS, participant is censored at last known alive date. Will be computed in each arm for both the safety set and the efficacy set. Will be estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Median OS and OS rates at common landmark times (e.g., 1 year, 2 years) will be estimated with 95% log-log CIs. For each of the two specified analysis sets, Cox models will be fit to OS to assess the impact of baseline patient and disease features and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) as a time-dependent covariate, with results considered hypothesis generating.

    Measured: From C1D1 to date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  7. Time to HSCT referral

    Within each arm and for both the safety and efficacy sets (separately), cumulative incidence functions (CIFs) will be used to estimate the post-C1D1 time to HSCT referral with death considered a competing risk and patients lacking these bone marrow transplant (BMT) preparation related events being censored at EOS. Between arm differences in time to each of these HSCT-preparatory events will be computed using Gray's test. For each participant cohort (i.e., within each arm for both the safety and efficacy sets), the proportion of patients who are referred to HSCT will be computed with point estimate and 95% exact binominal CI. Fisher's exact test will be employed to test for an association between the occurrence of each HSCT-preparatory event and study arm.

    Measured: Up to 2 years after end of study treatment

  8. Time to completed consult for HSCT

    Within each arm and for both the safety and efficacy sets (separately), CIFs will be used to estimate the post-C1D1 time to HSCT consultation with death considered a competing risk and patients lacking these BMT preparation related events being censored at EOS. Between arm differences in time to each of these HSCT-preparatory events will be computed using Gray's test. For each participant cohort (i.e., within each arm for both the safety and efficacy sets), the proportion of patients who complete a HSCT consult will be computed with point estimate and 95% exact binominal CI. Fisher's exact test will be employed to test for an association between the occurrence of each HSCT-preparatory event and study arm.

    Measured: Up to 2 years after end of study treatment

  9. Percentage of participants who transition to HSCT

    Will be computed on both the safety and efficacy sets within each study arm. Besides a point estimate and exact binominal 95% CI for the proportion of patients proceeding to HSCT at any time or within 100 days of commencing study therapy, time-to-HSCT (measured from C1D1) will be estimated within each arm using a CIF, tested across arms with Gray's test, and modeled with Fine-Gray regressions (with baseline patient and disease features as predictors and results considered as hypothesis-generating). For these analyses, pre-HSCT deaths will be considered a competing risk and patients alive but not transplanted will be censored when going off-study.

    Measured: Up to 2 years after end of study treatment

  10. Cumulative incidence of HSCT

    Will be computed on both the safety and efficacy sets within each study arm. Besides a point estimate and exact binominal 95% CI for the proportion of patients proceeding to HSCT at any time or within 100 days of commencing study therapy, time-to-HSCT (measured from C1D1) will be estimated within each arm using a CIF, tested across arms with Gray's test, and modeled with Fine-Gray regressions (with baseline patient and disease features as predictors and results considered as hypothesis-generating). For these analyses, pre-HSCT deaths will be considered a competing risk and patients alive but not transplanted will be censored when going off-study.

    Measured: Up to 2 years after end of study treatment

  11. Percentage of participants who are MRD- post-HSCT

    Will be estimated along with an exact binomial 95% CI.

    Measured: From HSCT day 0 to day +365 post-HSCT

  12. Cumulative incidence of grade 2-3 post-HSCT infections

    Will be assess moderate and severe bacterial, viral, and fungal infections according to Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network criteria. Will be estimated with a CIF (considering death as a competing risk).

    Measured: From HSCT day 0 to day +100 post-HSCT

  13. Cumulative incidence of grade ≥ II acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD)

    Will be assessed using the Mount Sinai Acute Graft Versus Host Disease International Consortium (MAGIC) criteria. Will be estimated with a CIF (considering death as a competing risk).

    Measured: From HSCT day 0 to day +365 post-HSCT

  14. Cumulative incidence of grade ≥ 2 (cGVHD)

    Will be assessed using the National Institutes of Health consensus criteria. Will be estimated with a CIF (considering death as a competing risk).

    Measured: From HSCT day 0 to day +365 post-HSCT

  15. GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS)

    Will be computed and reported for the transplanted population from the time of transplant to a qualifying event. Data from participants without any of the specified GRFS events will be censored at the date of the last disease assessment or the date of the last GVHD assessment, whichever occurs earlier. GRFS will be presented with a point estimate and exact binomial CI.

    Measured: From HSCT day 0 to disease relapse, MAGIC grade III-IV aGVHD, cGVHD requiring systemic therapy, death from any cause or last known alive, or day + 365 post-HSCT, whichever occurs earliest
