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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that blocks multiple pathways involved in the development and progression of acute leukemia, such as FLT3-ITD, the RAS and RAF gene families, KIT, and the VEGF and PDGF receptors. Recently, two back-to-back randomized controlled trials both reveal that sorafenib maintenance after allo-HSCT could prevent relapse in patients with FLT3-ITD AML, resulting in a survival benefit. Sorafenib has also been explored in the treatment of acute leukemia without FLT3 mutations and shown promising results. Currently, relapse remains the major cause of transplant failure, especially for high-risk and refractory acute leukemia patients. Once patients relapse after allo-HSCT, the prognosis is dismal. Therefore, prevention of relapse is of great importance to improve the prognosis. Based on the current research status, we plan to conduct a prospective, multicenter, phase 2 randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy and safety of sorafenib maintenance after allo-HSCT in FLT3-negative acute leukemia patients.

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

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Sorafenib group
Sorafenib will be administered at 45-60 days post-transplantation and taken for one year.
Drug: Sorafenib
The initial dose of sorafenib is 400 mg orally twice daily and is adjusted in case of suspected toxicity (dose range, 200-800 mg daily).
No Intervention: Non-maintenance group
Neither sorafenib nor other FLT3 inhibitors will be used, unless the patient experiences relapse.

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.

Time Frame
Incidence of leukemia relapse
Time Frame: 1 year
1 year

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
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 1 year
1 year
Adverse effects
Time Frame: 1 year
