Studien-Informationen
Detailed Description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal malignant disorder which is characterized by the
expansion of leukemic blasts in the bone marrow and the peripheral blood, which goes along
with a suppression of normal hematopoiesis including granulopoiesis, erythropoiesis and
thrombocytopoiesis. The prognosis is largely determined by cytogenetic and molecular risk
factors, age, performance status and antecedent myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). With the
exception of old and frail patients, most AML patients are eligible for intensive
chemotherapy, which is given in curative intent consisting of induction and consolidation
therapy. However, despite intensive therapy, the long-term outcome of AML patients remains
poor, with less than 30% of patients achieving long lasting remission and even cure. This
poor outcome is largely due to refractoriness to induction chemotherapy as well as relapses
during and after completion of intensive induction and consolidation therapy. Regarding
refractoriness, about 20-30% of AML patients under the age of 60 years and about 50% of older
patients fail to attain complete remission (CR) following cytarabine plus anthracycline based
standard induction therapy. In addition, patients having achieved CR are at a high risk of
relapse, particularly within the first two years after completion of chemotherapy. Allogeneic
hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is currently the only treatment strategy to
offer the prospect of cure in relapsed/refractory (r/r)-AML; but outcome after allo-HCT is
largely determined by the remission state before allo-HCT. With the aim to induce a CR before
allo-HCT, salvage chemotherapy regimens are administered in r/r-AML. Typically, these salvage
regimens are based on high dose cytarabine (HiDAC), which is frequently combined with either
mitoxantrone (HAM regimen) or fludarabine plus idarubicin (idaFLA regimen). However, there is
still no commonly accepted standard salvage regimen and overall CR rates remain low with less
than one third of the patients achieving a CR. Apart from already known clinical unfavorable
prognostic parameters in relapsed AML such as short first CR duration, older age and previous
allo-HCT, FLT3-ITD has consistently been identified as an unfavorable molecular marker in
both relapsed and refractory AML. Recently midostaurin has been approved by the FDA and EMA
for the treatment of newly diagnosed AML with activating FLT3 mutations. But still roughly
one quarter of patients, who received midostaurin, was refractory to induction therapy and
relapse rate at 2 years excited 40%. Thus, new treatment options are urgently needed,
particularly in r/r-AML with FLT3-ITD.
The oral second-generation bis-aryl urea tyrosine kinase inhibitor quizartinib is very
specific for FLT3, has a high capacity for sustained FLT3 inhibition and an acceptable
toxicity profile. Furthermore, single agent quizartinib doubled the response rate as compared
to standard of care in a randomized study in r/r-AML. Although survival was also improved in
this study the difference was only marginal.
In this protocol we evaluate the efficacy of quizartinib in combination with HAM (high-dose
cytarabine, mitoxantrone) as compared to historical controls based on the matched threshold
crossing approach followed by randomized prophylactic versus MRD-triggered continuation
therapy with quizartinib including consolidation (chemotherapy as well as allo-HCT) and
maintenance.
