Study summary

This is an open label, two-arm, Phase I-II trial, non-randomized. Arm 1: crenolanib with standard chemotherapy (Idarubicin/Cytarabine, MEC;Mitoxantrone/Etoposide/Cytarabine, FLAG-Ida: Fludarabine/Cytarabine/G-CSF/Idarubicin) Arm 2: crenolanib with 5-azacitidine

Read the detailed description

For each arm:

The phase I with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) determination will use 3+3 design.

Phase II total of 52 patients (26 per arm) will be treated at established phase I dose.

Enrollment to be simultaneous to each arm.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Confirmed diagnosis of /relapsed AML or high-risk MDS

    • Arm 1: Subjects must have received at least one prior therapy and a maximum of three prior therapies
    • Arm 2: Subjects must have received at least one prior therapy and a maximum of three prior therapies. No prior treatment with 5-Azacitidine is allowed in this arm.
  2. FLT3 mutation positive (ITD, TKD or other)
  3. PS 0-2
  4. Adequate liver and renal function
  5. Negative pregnancy test
  6. Extramedullary leukemia allowed except CNS disease

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Arm 1 and 2 Exclusion:

    1. \<5% blasts in marrow or blood at time of screening
    2. Active , or C
    3. CNS leukemia
    4. or organ dysfunction where chemotherapy specified by protocol cannot be given
    5. Patient with AML-M3 (APL)
    6. Pre-existing liver diseases (i.e. cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, sclerosing cholangitis)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Response Rate of Crenolanib Besylate Combination Therapy

    To determine the response rate to crenolanib. CR 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. Morphologic Leukemia-Free State (MLFS) response included ≤5% in % blasts in the BM aspirate or biopsy. Resistant Disease (RD) was defined as the absence of CR, CRi, CRp, PR or MLFS. Death in aplasia response include deaths occurring following chemotherapy while cytopenic with an aplastic or hypoplastic BM prior to death without evidence of persistent leukemia.

    Time frame: Baseline up to first documented response, persistent disease, or death (whichever occurs first), 1 year.
