Study summary

Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with a type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia, or AML for short. Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with AML whose cancer has a specific genetic abnormality characterized by the overexpression of the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene. This genetic profile is found in about 3 of every 10 people with AML.

During the trial, tamibarotene will be given with 2 other drugs that are already used together to treat people who have AML and who cannot start treatment with standard chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This study consists of 3 parts. In Part 1, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine combination will inform the appropriate tamibarotene dose to be combined with the standard of care (SOC) venetoclax/azacitidine in Part 2 and Part 3. In Part 2, participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine or venetoclax/azacitidine to compare the clinical activity of the 2 combinations. In Part 3, tamibarotene will be added to the venetoclax/azacytidine regimen of a subset of Part 2 participants who experience progressive disease, relapse after initial complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) response, or treatment failure.

Note: all inclusion/exclusion criteria should be met prior to the first dose of venetoclax/azacitidine on Cycle 1 Day 1 with the exception of the RARA-biomarker test result referenced in inclusion criterion 2, which should be positive by Cycle 1 Day 8 to continue treatment on study.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All participants must have obtained a blood sample for RARA biomarker investigational assay testing prior to starting treatment on Cycle 1 Day 1. The results of the investigational biomarker assay for all participants must be confirmed as RARA-positive by Cycle 1 Day 8 to enroll (Part 1) or to be randomized (Part 2) in the study.
  • Participants must have newly diagnosed, previously untreated non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) AML with a bone marrow or peripheral blood blast count ≥20% and must be unlikely to tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy at the time of Cycle 1 Day 1 Visit due to age, performance status, or comorbidities based on at least one of the following criteria:

    • age ≥75 years old, or
    • age \<75 years old, with at least one of the following:

      • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 3
      • cardiac history of congestive heart failure (CHF) or documented ejection fraction (EF) ≤50%

      • hepatic impairment with total bilirubin >1.5 to ≤3.0 * upper limit of normal (ULN)
      • any other comorbidity that the investigator judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy, and reviewed and approved by the sponsor.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants have APL.
  • Participants have known active central nervous system involvement with AML.
  • Prior treatment (before Cycle 1 Day 1) for the diagnosis of AML, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or antecedent hematologic malignancy with any hypomethylating agent, venetoclax, chemotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with the exception of prior treatment with hydroxyurea.

SecondaryPart 2: Time to CR/CRh

Time to CR/CRh was defined as the duration from the date of Cycle 1 Day 1 Visit to the date of the first documented evidence of CR/CRh as determined by the investigator. CR was defined as absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/µL, platelets count ≥100,000/µL, bone marrow blasts \<5% and absence of circulating blasts and blasts with auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease. CRh was defined as absolute neutrophil count \>500/µL, platelets count \>500,000/µL, bone marrow blasts \<5% and all CR criteria met except ANC and platelets with partial recovery of peripheral counts.

ORR: percentage of participants who achieved a overall response as comprised of CR(ANC ≥1,000/µL, platelets count (PC) ≥100,000/µL, bone marrow blasts \<5% and absence of circulating blasts and blasts with auer rods;absence of extramedullary disease),CRi (ANC \<1,000/µL, PC \<100,000/µL, bone marrow blasts \<5% and all CR criteria met except either neutrophils or platelets not recovered), CRh (ANC \>500/µL, PC \>500,000/µL, bone marrow blasts \<5% and all CR criteria met except ANC and platelets with partial recovery of peripheral counts), morphologically leukemia-free state (bone marrow blasts \<5%, absence of blasts with auer rods and \<5% blasts in marrow sample with a count of at least 200 nucleated cells or cellularity ≥10%. Absence of EMD. No hematologic criteria required.), or PR was defined as ANC \<1,000/µL, PC \<100,000/µL, ≥50% decrease from baseline, with decrease to 5-25. ORR was calculated as ORR (%)=number of overall responders/number of participants in the Safety Population×100.

Baseline characteristics

Part 1 and Part 3 safety population included all enrolled participants who had received any amount of study drug (tamibarotene, venetoclax, or azacitidine). Part 2 intent to treat (ITT) population included all participants who were randomized in Part 2. Treatment groups for this population were determined according to the treatment assignment at the time of randomization. Data of Part 3 participants is being reported separately.
