Study summary

This is a phase II, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study in adult patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and FLT3-ITD as defined in inclusion/exclusion criteria.

The primary efficacy object is to evaluate the impact of midostaurin given in combination with intensive induction, consolidation including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and single agent maintenance therapy on event-free survival (EFS) in adult patients with AML exhibiting a FLT3-ITD.

Sample size: 440 patients

The treatment duration of an individual patient is between 18 and 24 months. Duration of the study for an individual patient including treatment (induction, consolidation [chemotherapy or allogeneic SCT], maintenance and follow-up period: Maximum 8 years

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with suspected diagnosis of AML or related precursor neoplasm, or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008 classification)
  • Presence of FLT3-ITD assessed in the central AMLSG reference laboratories
  • Patients considered eligible for intensive chemotherapy
  • WHO performance status of ≤ 2
  • Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years
  • No prior chemotherapy for leukemia except hydroxyurea to control hyperleukocytosis (≤ 7 days)
  • Non-pregnant and non-nursing. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 72 hours prior to registration ("Women of childbearing potential" is defined as a sexually active mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
  • Female patients in the reproductive age and male patients must agree to avoid getting pregnant or to father a child while on therapy and for 5 months after the last dose of chemotherapy
  • Women of child-bearing potential must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin one acceptable method of birth control (IUD, tubal ligation, or partner's vasectomy). Hormonal contraception is an inadequate method of birth control
  • Men must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearing potential, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy (while on therapy and for 5 months after the last dose of chemotherapy)
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

•AML with the following recurrent genetic abnormalities (according to WHO 2008): AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22); RUNX1-RUNX1T1 AML with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22); CBFB-MYH11 AML with t(15;17)(q22;q12); PML-RARA (or variant translocations with other RARA gene fusions)

  • Performance status WHO >2
  • Patients with ejection fraction \< 50% by MUGA or ECHO scan within 14 days of day 1
  • Organ insufficiency (creatinine >1.5x upper normal serum level; bilirubin, AST or ALP >2.5x upper normal serum level, not attributable to AML; heart failure NYHA III/IV; severe obstructive or restrictive ventilation disorder)
  • Uncontrolled infection
  • Severe neurological or psychiatric disorder interfering with ability of giving an informed consent
  • Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse within one year
  • Known positive for HIV; active HBV, HCV, or Hepatitis A infection
  • Bleeding disorder independent of leukemia
  • No consent for registration, storage and processing of the individual disease-characteristics and course as well as information of the family physician and/or other physicians involved in the treatment of the patient about study participation.
  • No consent for biobanking.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Midostaurin

    Drug: Midostaurin · Drug: Cytarabine · Drug: Daunorubicin

Interventions

  • Induction therapy: 50 mg, oral, twice daily, starting on day 8, thereafter continuous dosing until 48h before start of subsequent chemotherapy cycle. Consolidation therapy: 50 mg, oral twice daily, starting on day 6, thereafter continuous dosing until 48h before start of conditioning therapy for allogeneic HSCT or 48h before start of subsequent consolidation chemotherapy.

  7. Quality of life

    Quality of life assessed by the EORTC Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), supplemented by information on self-assessed concomitant diseases, late treatment effects, and demographics initially, in first CR, after one year,3 and 5 years after initial diagnosis.

    Time frame: 5 years

  8. Rate of early deaths and hypoplastic deaths (ED/HD)

    Time frame: two months

  9. Death in CR

    Time frame: 8 years
