Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II/III study that seeks to treat patients ages 18-60 who have acute myeloid leukemia but have never been treated before. In order to improve the outcome of patients with primary AML, venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine was applied in the treatment of primary AML. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in combination with homoharringtonine and cytarabine in newly diagnosed subjects with AML.Depending on the level of recovery, patients will either be forced to come off study or have the option to continue the medication, receive maintenance therapy, or pursue an allogeneic stem cell transplant. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 to 6 months for up to 2 years.

  2. patients must have confirmation of AML by WHO criteria, previously untreated, and eligible for treatment with intensive chemotherapy as defined by the following: Cardiac history of congestive heart failure requiring treatment or ejection fraction ≤ 50% or chronic stable angina. Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤ 65% or forced expiratory volume during the first second (FEV1) ≤ 65%. Creatinine clearance \< 45 mL/min. Moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN. Any other comorbidity that the physician judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy.
  3. Patients > 18 to ≤ 60 years
  4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤2
  5. Laboratory values meeting the following criteria:Creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24-hour urine collection, Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN) 、Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN (Unless considered due to leukemic organ involvement), Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, White blood cell (WBC) count \< 25 × 109 /L (hydroxyurea is permitted to meet this criterion)

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Venetoclax Combined With Homoharringtonine and Cytarabine

    All recipients in this arm received Venetoclax, Homoharringtonine and Cytarabine. Venetoclax was uesd as 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, 400mg from day-3 to day-28. Homoharringtonine was uesd as 1 mg/m2 qd from day-1 to day-5. Cytarabine was uesd as 100 mg/m2 qd from day-1 to day-5.

    Drug: Venetoclax · Drug: Homoharringtonine · Drug: Cytarabine

Interventions

  • DrugVenetoclax

    Starting on day 1, venetoclax will be dose escalated to a target dose of 600 mg in the following manner: 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2 and 400 mg on day 3. The patient then continues to take the 400mg dose for the remainder of the 28 day cycle. Each dose of venetoclax will be self-administered with approximately 240 mL of water within 30 minutes after the completion of a meal, preferably breakfast. The dose should be administered at the same time each day.

    Also known as: VEN

  • DrugHomoharringtonine

    On day 1, homoharringtonine 1 mg/m2 IV will be given, and will continue for 5 days.

    Also known as: HHT

  • DrugCytarabine

    On day 1, cytarabine 100 mg/m2 IV will be given, and will continue for 5 days.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Defined as complete response (CR) + CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) + morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS) + partial response (PR).

    Time frame: 28 days after study treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of Participants With Adverse Events

    Percentage of Participants with 3 or 4 grade Adverse Events reported through 28 days post study medication administration.

    Time frame: Through 28 days post study medication administration

  2. Event-free survival

    Defined as the number of days from the date of treatment initiation (i.e., course 1 day 1) to the date of documented treatment failure, relapses from CR, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Will be calculated for all patients. Estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank tests will be used to compare among subgroups of patients.

    Time frame: Through study completion, up to 3 years

  3. Overall survival

    Estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank tests will be used to compare among subgroups of patients.

    Time frame: Through study completion, up to 3 years
