Bortezomib and Sorafenib Tosylate in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

May 29, 2026 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

A Phase III Randomized Trial for Patients With De Novo AML Using Bortezomib and Sorafenib (NSC# 681239, NSC# 724772) for Patients With High Allelic Ratio FLT3/ITD

This randomized phase III trial studies how well bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate together with combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without high allelic ratio fms-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3)/internal tandem duplications (ITD)+ mutations who are randomized to standard therapy versus bortezomib/standard combination therapy.

II. To determine the feasibility of combining bortezomib with standard chemotherapy in patients with de novo AML.

III. To compare the OS and EFS of high-risk patients treated with intensive Induction II with historical controls from AAML03P1 and AAML0531.

IV. To determine the feasibility of administering sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) with standard chemotherapy and in a one year maintenance phase in patients with de novo high allelic ratio FLT3/ITD+ AML.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the anti-leukemic activity of sorafenib in patients with de novo high allelic ratio FLT3/ITD+ AML.

II. To compare the percentage of patients converting from positive minimal residual disease (MRD) to negative MRD after Intensive Induction II with historical controls from AAML03P1 and AAML0531.

III. To compare OS, disease-free survival (DFS), cumulative incidence of relapse, and treatment-related mortality from end of Intensification I between patients allocated to best allogenic donor stem cell transplant (SCT) and comparable patients on AAML0531 who did not receive allogenic donor SCT.

IV. To compare OS, DFS, cumulative incidence of relapse, treatment-related mortality, and severe toxicity between patients allocated to matched family donor SCT on AAML1031 and AAML0531.

V. To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients treated with chemotherapy and stem cell transplant (SCT) for AML.

VI. To evaluate bortezomib pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients receiving the combination regimen.

VII. To obtain sorafenib and metabolite steady state pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic data in subjects with FLT3/ITD receiving sorafenib.

VIII. To compare the changes in shortening fraction/ejection fraction over time between patients treated with and without dexrazoxane.

IX. To refine the use of minimal-residual disease (MRD) detection with 4-color flow cytometry.

X. To evaluate the prognostic significance of molecular MRD and its contribution to risk identification with multidimensional flow cytometry (MDF)-based MRD in patients with translocations amenable to quantitative real time (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (e.g., t[8;21], inv[16], t[9;11], Wilms tumor 1 [WT1] expression).

XI. To determine the leukemic involvement of the hematopoietic early progenitor cell and its role in defining response to therapy.

XII. To define the leukemic stem cell population in patients with AML. XIII. To determine the prevalence and prognostic significance of molecular abnormalities of WT1, runt-related transcription factor (RUNX)1, mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-partial tandem duplication (PTD), tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2), Cbl proto-oncogene, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (c-CBL), v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KIT), and other novel AML-associated genes in pediatric AML.

XIV. Correlate the expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)74 antigen as well as proteasome beta 5-subunit (PSMB5) gene expression and mutation with response to bortezomib.

XV. To evaluate the changes in protein expression and unfolded protein response (UPR) in patients with AML.

XVI. To determine the expression level of wild-type FLT3, and correlate with outcome and in vitro sensitivity to FLT3 inhibition.

XVII. To collect biology specimens at diagnosis, treatment time points, and relapse for future biology studies XVIII. To create a pediatric-specific algorithm to predict the occurrence of grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prior to its clinical manifestations using a combination of pre-transplant clinical variables and serum GVHD biomarker concentrations in the first weeks after SCT.

Up to 3 years
Relapse Rate for Patients Without High Allelic Ratio FLT3/ITD+ Mutations
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
Cumulative incidence estimates 3 year relapse rate defined as time from study entry to induction failure or relapse where deaths or secondary malignancies are competing events.
Up to 3 years
Proportion of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Higher Non-hematologic Toxicities and Infections While on Protocol Therapy
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
The proportion of patients experiencing at least one grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity and infection while on protocol therapy will be estimated along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method. Toxicity will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).
Up to 2 years
Proportion of High Risk Children Without HR FLT3/ITD+ Converting From Positive MRD at End of Induction I to Negative MRD at the End of Induction II
Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks
The proportion of high risk children without HR FLT3/ITD+ converting from positive MRD at end of Induction I to negative MRD at the end of Induction II will be estimated as well as the corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method.
Up to 8 weeks
Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Module
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.
Up to 14 days
Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Cancer Module
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ 3.0 Cancer Module for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.
Up to 14 days
Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Multidimensional Fatigue Scale Module
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.
