A Phase 2 interventional study of Gilteritinib and Placebo in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase (FLT3) / Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD) Mutation, sponsored by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.. Completed at 73 sites in 21 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-11-26.
Sponsored by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study was to compare relapse-free survival (RFS) between participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) / internal tandem duplication (ITD) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) and who were randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo beginning after completion of induction/consolidation chemotherapy for a two-year period.
Participants in CR1 were approached for this study after induction/consolidation therapy was complete and a decision not to proceed with transplantation was made or a suitable donor could not be identified. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive gilteritinib or placebo. Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Participants were administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles. Gilteritinib or placebo was given daily for up to 2 years. After treatment discontinuation, participants had a 30-day follow-up visit for safety, after which the participants entered the long-term follow up period for collection of subsequent AML treatment, remission status, and survival (cause of death and date of death). Final database lock will occur when last subject last follow-up visit is reached, per protocol. Study drug was not provided during the follow-up period.

Relapse-free Survival (RFS) Per Independent Review Committee (IRC) Adjudication
RFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Relapse after complete remission (CR) \[including complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) and Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi)\], was defined as bone marrow blasts 5% or higher (not attributable to regenerating bone marrow), any circulating blasts, any extra-medullary blast foci as per Revised International Working Group (IWG) criteria. Participants were classified as: CRi, if they fulfilled all the criteria for CR except for incomplete hematological recovery with residual neutropenia \< 1 × 10\^9/L with or without complete platelet recovery. RBC and platelet transfusion independence was not required. CRp, if they achieved CR except for incomplete platelet recovery (\< 100 × 10\^9/L). RFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. hazard ratio (HR), cox proportional hazards model (CHM)
Time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse, or death; (Median time on study drug was 427 days for gilteritinib group and 212 days for placebo group)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meiers method.
Time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause; (Median time on study drug was 427 days for gilteritinib group and 212 days for placebo group)
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
EFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse or discontinuation of the treatment, or initiation of other anti-leukemic treatment or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Relapse after CR (including CRp and CRi), was defined as bone marrow blasts 5% or higher (not attributable to regenerating bone marrow), any circulating blasts, any extra-medullary blast foci as per Revised IWG criteria. Participants were classified as: CRi, if they fulfilled all the criteria for CR except for incomplete hematological recovery with residual neutropenia \< 1 × 10\^9/L with or without complete platelet recovery. RBC and platelet transfusion independence was not required. CRp, if they achieved CR except for incomplete platelet recovery (\< 100 × 10\^9/L). EFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier's method.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of documented relapse or discontinuation of the treatment, or initiation of other anti-leukemic treatment or death from any cause; (Median time on study drug was 427 days for gilteritinib and 212 days for Placebo)
Change From Baseline in Quantitative Minimal Residual Disease Measured as Log10-transformed Overall FLT3/ITD Mutation Ratio at Months 3, 6, 12, 24/End of Treatment (EoT)
MRD was measured from bone marrow samples. FLT3/ITD mutation ratio was measured in relation to total FLT3. For a participant with multiple ITD mutations, the overall FLT3/ITD mutation ratio was calculated from the sum of all ITD mutations. Absence of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) is defined as log10-transformed overall FLT3/ITD mutation ratio ≤ -4.
Time frame: Baseline and months 3, 6, 12, 24/EoT
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug, which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with treatment. It can, be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product whether considered related to the medicinal product. An AE is considered "serious" if, it results in results in death, is life-threatening (an AE is considered "life-threatening" if, its occurrence places the participant at immediate risk of death, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, results in congenital anomaly or birth defect, Requires inpatient hospitalization (except for planned procedures as allowed per study) or leads to prolongation of hospitalization. TEAE was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug through 30 days after the last dose.
Time frame: From first dose date up to 30 days after last dose or data cut-off date 25-May 2021 (Maximum treatment duration was 744 days)
