Study summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study comparing the efficacy and safety of CLAG+VEN and CLAG regimens in relapsed/refractory(r/r) AML.

Read the detailed description

The efficacy and prognosis of relapsed/refractory(r/r) AML are very poor, and there is no standard chemotherapy regimen were defined for r/r AML. Cladribine, a purine analogue, exerts cytotoxic, proapoptotic, and antiproliferative effects on AML cells. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of cladribine in the treatment of r/r AML, with a response rate of 30-45%.Our previous experience has shown that CLAG in combination of venetoclax are effective with tolerable toxicity profiling. However, there is a lack of multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trials to further confirm the results. Therefore, a clinical study is planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CLAG+VEN compared to CLAG in r/r AML who were eligible for intensive therapy.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    CLAGV regimen

    CLAG combined with venetoclax for relapsed/refractory AML. Patients were randomized and those entering the experimental group received cladribine, cytarabine, G-CSF and venetoclax. Venetoclax is administered orally at 400mg/d on days 2-8. When combination with P450 3A4 inhibitor, VEN should be reduced to 100-200mg/d and monitoring of VEN blood concentrations is recommended at qualified centers. Cladribine is administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/m2/d on days 1-5. Cytarabine is administered intravenously at a dose of 1g/m2/d on days 1-5, starting 2h after cladribine and maintained for more than 3h. The dose of G-CSF was 5ug/kg/d subcutaneously injected on days 0-5. Generally, starting 12 hours before the start of chemotherapy, if the absolute value of white blood cell count is ≥ 20×10\^9/L, the use is suspended.For patients with FLT3 mutations, corresponding inhibitors such as sorafenib and gilteritinib can be combined.
