Efficacy and Safety of HVA Regimens as Salvage Treatment in Relapsed/Refractory (rr) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Up Until now, there is not well acepted treatment for relapsed/refractory (rr) acute myeloid luekemia (AML), which has low complete response and poor survival. According to different guildlines, clinical trial is the first choice for the treatment of rrAML. High expression of BCL-2 and hypermethylation are very important factors for drug resistance in AML. Lots of studies have reported combination of BCL-2 inhibitor with hypomethylating agents (HMA) showed a promising efficacy in elder or unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML, however, presented not that exciting curing effect in rrAML. It is known that overexpression of MCL-1 and BCL-XL is the main reason for leukemia cells being resistant to BCL2 inhibitors. Since Homoharringtonine (HHT) could downregulate MCL-1 and BCL-XL in leukemia cells, there might be a synergic effect for combination of BCL-2 inhibitors with HHT, which has been proven in the treatment of lymphoma. Yet, there is not a report for the use of this combination in AML. In this single arm multi-centers prospective study, adult patients with rrAML are included and treated with BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax at a dose of 400mg per day for 14 days, combined with azacitidine (AZA) at a dose of 75mg/m2 per day for 7 days, and HHT 1mg/m2 per day for 7 days, and then the eficacy and safety of HVA regimens as salvage treatment in rrAML are assessed.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 61 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with rrAML Patients with the age of 18-65 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete response
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
Blast rate lower than 5% with or without peripheral blood cell recover
At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and Tolerability of HVA treatment
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
The number of participants experiencing 3/4 degree bone marrow suppession and infection.
At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
