Phase II Study of Crenolanib in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory AML With FLT3 Activating Mutations

A Phase 2 interventional study of Crenolanib Besylate (CP-868,596-26) in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3 Activating Mutations, sponsored by Arog Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-01-30.

Why
  1. Recurrence describes something many studies share rather than a condition a study is about.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Leukemia.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This is a Phase II open label study of crenolanib besylate. This study will enroll subjects with relapsed or refractory AML with FLT3 activating mutations. Prior treatment with other FLT3 TKIs is allowed. Subjects will take crenolanib 200mg/m2/day divided in three doses daily (preferably every eight hours), taken orally at least 30 minutes pre or post meal until disease progression, death, or the patient discontinues treatment for adverse events, investigator's judgment, or other reasons. Patients who are able to proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplant will be able to resume crenolanib therapy post-transplant in an attempt to maintain remission.

Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Absence of FLT3 activating mutation

  • Unwillingness or inability to comply with protocol.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(13)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate

    To determine the response rate to crenolanib.Complete remission (CR) response criteria include a post-baseline bone marrow (BM) biopsy or aspiration % blasts \<5%, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1×10\^9/L and platelet count \>100×10\^9/L. CRi response included all CR criteria met, except participant did not experience either platelet recovery or ANC recovery. Partial Response (PR) response included a decrease of ≥50% in % blasts in the BM aspirate or biopsy from baseline but \>5%. Hematologic improvement (HI) response included erythroid response where Hgb increased ≥ 1.5 g/dL, platelet response where platelets increased ≥ 30 x 10\^9/L for patient starting with \>20 x 10\^9/L platelets or increase from \<20 x 10\^9/L to \>20 x 10\^9/L and by at least 100% and neutrophil response where at least 100% increase and an increase \>0.5 x 10\^9/L. Resistant Disease (RD) was defined as the absence of CR, CRi, CRp, PR or HI.

    Time frame: From the date of first dose to the end of protocol treatment, 1 year.
