Studien-Informationen

Detailed Description:

AML is a heterogeneous disease of malignant early myeloid cells with a poor prognosis.

Currently the only potentially curative treatment for patients with AML is intensive

induction chemotherapy with 7 days of standard-dose cytarabine plus 3 days of an anthracyclin

(7+3) followed either by several courses of consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose

cytarabine or by allogeneic stem cell transplantation as standard of care (SOC). Complete

remission (CR) is achieved in 60-80% of younger patients (aged 16-60 years) and in around 50%

of older patients aged ≥ 60 years by this induction chemotherapy. However, this induction

chemotherapy is toxic, due to prolonged myelosuppression with resulting infectious

complications and organ toxicity with severe nausea, mucositis, colitis and cardiotoxicity.

Each cycle of this intensive chemotherapy usually results in prolonged hospitalization of the

patients and requires extensive supportive care with blood products and anti-infective

agents. In addition, patients treated with intensive induction chemotherapy are at increased

risk for several serious long-term side effects including cardiac and neurological sequelae,

infertility and secondary cancers. The high toxicity burden in general and cardiovascular

toxicity specifically consistently increase total costs in intensive induction and

consolidation chemotherapy. From this perspective there is a need for therapies with lower

toxicity and better efficacy.

Due to the high risk of early mortality, older patients and those with severe pre-existing

conditions are typically treated with non-intensive chemotherapy with either low-dose

cytarabine (LDAC) or a hypomethylating agent (HMA) either azacitidine or decitabine.While

these treatments offer at best modest efficacy with CR rates of only 10%-30% and median

overall survival of 6-12 months, combinations with the B-cell lymphoma-2 inhibitor venetoclax

have been shown to produce CR rates between 50-75% in patients not eligible for intensive

chemotherapy. The best response of venetoclax-based regimens with response rates up to 93%

and two-year overall survival of 75% has been found among others in the large group of AML

patients with mutations in the NPM1 gene. Standard intensive treatment in NPM1 mutated AML

patients without adverse risk features usually consisting of standard of care chemotherapy

plus gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) induces CR rates around 85%, and leads to a 5-year overall

survival of around 40% - 50%.The rate and durability of response to venetoclax-based

combinations in single arm studies with NPM1 mutated AML patients compared favourably with

outcomes from intensive chemotherapy. A retrospective analysis in elderly AML patients with

NPM1 mutation found remission rates of 73% in the entire cohort and 96 % in patients > 65

years. The venetoclax-based combination with the HMA azacitidine is generally well tolerated

and has a better safety profile than intensive chemotherapy.

Based on these available clinical data it is postulated that non-intensive treatment with

venetoclax plus azacitidine in NPM1 mutated fit AML patients may be equivalent or superior to

the standard intensive treatment in terms of remission rates, relapse-free survival,

treatment related mortality and health-related quality of life. This randomised controlled

phase II trial (VINCENT) is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the non-intensive

treatment with venetolcax and azacitidine (Ven+Aza arm) in a wide age-range of newly

diagnosed NPM1 mutated AML patients fit for intensive chemotherapy in comparison to standard

of care chemotherapy plus GO (SOC arm).

3. Age 18-70 years

4. Fit for intensive chemotherapy, defined by

- ECOG performance status of 0-2

- Adequate hepatic function: ALAT/ASAT/Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x ULN unless considered due

to leukemic organ involvement Note: Subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome may have a

7. Male subjects must agree to refrain from unprotected sex and sperm donation from time

point of signing the informed consent until 7 months after the last dose of study

drug.

8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test

performed within 72 hours before first dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Activating FLT3 mutation

2. Relapsed or refractory AML

3. AML after antecedent myelodysplasia (MDS) with prior cytotoxic treatment

4. Prior history of malignancy, other than MDS, unless the subject has been free of the

disease for ≥ 1 year prior to start of study treatment (exceptions are basal or

squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or of the breast,

incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer (T1a or T1b using the tumor, node,

metastasis clinical staging system))

5. Previous treatment with HMA or venetoclax

7. Cumulative previous exposure to anthracyclines of > 200 mg/m^2 doxorubicin equivalents

8. CNS involvement or extramedullary disease only

9. Known hypersensitivity to excipients of the preparation or any agent given in

association with this study including venetoclax, azacitidine, cytarabine,

daunorubicin, gemtuzumab-ozogamicin, or mitoxantrone

10. Known positivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and History of active or

chronic infectious hepatitis unless serology demonstrates clearance of infection (i.e.

PCR undetectable viral load for hepatitis).

11. Inability to swallow oral medications

12. Any malabsorption condition

13. Cardiovascular disability status of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥ 2;

unstable coronary artery disease (MI more than 6 months prior to study entry is

permitted); serious cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy.

Note: Class 2 is defined as cardiac disease in which patients are comfortable at rest

but ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or anginal

pain.

14. Chronic respiratory disease that requires continuous oxygen use

15. Substance abuse, medical, psychological, or social conditions that may interfere with

the subject's cooperation with the requirements of the trial or evaluation of the

study results

17. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Breastfeeding has to be discontinued before onset of

and during treatment and should be discontinued for at least 3 months after end of

treatment.

18. Patients who are unwilling to follow strictly highly effective contraception

requirements including hormonal contraceptives with an Pearl Index < 1% per year in

combination with a barrier method from time point of signing the informed consent

until 7 months after the last dose of study drug unless one of the following criteria

is met:

- post-menopausal (12 months natural amenorrhea or 6 months amenorrhea with serum

FSH > 40 U/ml)

- postoperative (6 weeks after bilateral ovarectomy with or without hysterectomy)

- medically confirmed ovarian failure

- vasectomy Note: At present, it is not known whether the effectiveness of hormonal

contraceptives is reduced by venetoclax. For this reason, women must use a

barrier method in addition to hormonal contraceptive methods.
