Study summary

This clinical two-arm trial is designed to evaluate two doses of quizartinib as maintenance therapy after induction/consolidation in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) who have not received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adults ≥18 years of age or the minimum legal adult age (whichever is greater) on the day of signing the ICF (no upper limit of age).
  2. Newly diagnosed, morphologically documented primary AML or AML secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome or a myeloproliferative neoplasm based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008/2016 classification.
  3. Participant has confirmed FLT3-ITD-positive (≥0.05 SR or ≥5% VAF) activating mutation from initial diagnosis in bone marrow or peripheral blood as determined by a local institution's validated molecular testing.
  4. Participants must have confirmed, morphologically documented CR1, on the most recent BMA, based on the local laboratory results, performed within 28 days prior to C1D1 of maintenance therapy. Complete remission will be defined as \<5% blasts in the bone marrow with no morphologic characteristics of acute leukemia (e.g., Auer Rods), no evidence of extramedullary disease, and no leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood.

    Complete blood count recovery is required with of more than 1.000 × 109/L and more than 100 × 109/L (IWG criteria).27

  5. Participant must meet the following prior therapy requirements:

    1. Has received at least one cycle of induction therapy but no more than two to achieve CR1. The induction cycles can be the same regimen or different regimens and may contain conventional agents only (e.g., cytarabine + daunorubicin or idarubicin: "7 + 3" or "5 + 2"), or a combination with FLT3 inhibitors.
    2. Has not received more than four cycles of consolidation therapy. Regimens may contain conventional agents only.
    3. FLT3 inhibitors are permitted as part of the induction or consolidation treatment.

    Participants who received FLT3 inhibitors before enrollment in the trial will need a of 14 days.

  6. Able to begin the maintenance phase within 60 days of D1 of the last consolidation cycle received.
  7. (ECOG) PS of 0 to 2.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), French-American-British classification M3 or WHO classification of APL with translocation, t(15;17)(q22;q12), or BCR-ABL positive leukemia (i.e., chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis); participants who undergo diagnostic workup for APL and treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), but who are found not to have APL, are eligible (treatment with ATRA must be discontinued before starting induction chemotherapy).
  2. Diagnosis of AML secondary to prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for other neoplasms.
  3. Prior treatment for AML, except for the following allowances:

    1. Induction and consolidation therapy, as previously described (inclusion criterion #5)

    4. Participant has bradycardia of less than 50 beats per minute (bpm; as determined by central reading), unless the participant has a pacemaker
    5. History of second- or third-degree heart block. Candidates with a history of heart block may be eligible if they currently have pacemakers and have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmia with pacemakers.

    10. Uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg despite optimal medical management)
    11. Complete left or right bundle branch block
    12. Severe aortic stenosis
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

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.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

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.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

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.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
