July 8, 2022 updated by: Qifa Liu, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University

Influence of Molecular Abnormalities on Treatment Response of the Regimen of Venetoclax Plus Azacytidine Combined With Homoharringtonine Versus Venetoclax Plus Hypomethylating Agents (HMA) in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The aim of this study is to reveal the influence of gene mutations on the treatment response of the regimen of HHT combined with Venetoclax plus AZA versus venetoclax plus HMA in the salvage therapy of RR-AML.

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.

Detailed Description

Venetoclax-based regimens have heen used in the salvage therapy of relapsed/resfractory (RR) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). More and more studies have shown that molecular abnormalities and venetoclax combined regimens significantly impact the response of venetoclax-based therapy. Our exploratory study revealed that venetoclax plus azacytidine combined with homoharringtonine (VAH) had remarkably higher response than venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents (HMA) in RR-AML. Yet the influence of molecular abnormalities on the response of VAH regimen remains unknown.

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

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Cases included in this study were from 3 previous studies of our study group, including 1 exploratory and 2 prospective studies.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. RR-AML
  2. Patients must have been treated for at least one cycle of VEN-based regimen and finished outcome assessment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML subtype M3)
  2. Previous exposure to the treatment of VEN-based regimen
  3. Cardiac dysfunction (particularly congestive heart failure, unstable coronary artery disease and serious cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring antiarrhythmic therapy)
  4. Respiratory failure (PaO2 ≤60mmHg)
  5. Hepatic abnormalities (total bilirubin ≥2 times the upper limit of normal [ULN], alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥2 times the ULN)
  6. Renal dysfunction (creatinine ≥2 times the ULN or creatinine clearance rate < 30 mL/min)
  7. ECOG performance status 3, 4 or 5
  8. Substantial history of neurological, psychiatric, endocrine, metabolic, immunological, or any other medical condition not suitable for the trial (investigators' decision)
  9. Active acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Active acute GVHD or chronic GVHD is defined as GVHD requiring either at least 1 mg/kg per day of prednisone (or equivalent) or treatment beyond systemic corticosteroids.
  10. Patients with pregnancy
  11. Uncontrolled active infection
  12. Clinically significant coagulation abnormalities

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
VAH group
Patients assigned to this group received one to two cycles of VAH regimen as salvage therapy of RR-AML.
Drug: VAH regimen
VEN was prescribed as 100mg day 1, 200mg day 2, 400mg day 3-14; AZA was used at the dose of 75 mg/m2, day 1-7; HHT was given at a dose of 1mg/m2, day 1-7. The dose of VEN was reduced to 100mg/d if co-administered with posaconazole or voriconazole.
VEN+HMA group
Patients assigned to this group received one to two cycles of venetoclax plus HMA regimen as salvage therapy of RR-AML.
Drug: VEN+HMA regimen
VEN was prescribed as 100mg day 1, 200mg day 2, 400mg day 3-28; AZA was used at the dose of 75 mg/m2, day 1-7 or DEC 20mg/m2 day 1-5. The dose of VEN was reduced to 100mg/d if co-administered with posaconazole or voriconazole.

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
CR/CRi
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
Complete remission and CR with incomplete count recovery
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

MRD negative
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
MRD was detected with FCM and defined negative as a ratio < 0.1%
