Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safe and tolerable dose of midostaurin in combination with azacitidine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. (Phase I) II. To describe the toxicity profile of the combination of midostaurin and azacitidine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. (Phase I/II) III. To determine the complete and partial response rate and rate of hematologic improvement of midostaurin and 5-azacitidine in untreated acute myelogenous leukemia. (Phase I/II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe pharmacokinetics of oral midostaurin given in combination with azacitidine on a day 8-21 schedule. (Phase I/II) II. To correlate treatment response with FLT3 mutational status in a descriptive fashion. (Phase I/II) III. To assess overall survival of patients from initiation of midostaurin-azacitidine toxicities. (Phase I/II) IV. To determine median disease-free survival of the regimen in untreated patients. (Phase II)
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe signaling in CD117+ committed myeloid precursors in whole blood and bone marrow samples before and during treatment. (Phase I/II) II. To measure in vivo FLT3 inhibition using plasma inhibition assay (PIA) and Flt ligand (FL) levels in patients enrolled on this trial before and during treatment. (Phase I/II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of midostaurin followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive azacitidine intravenously (IV) over 10-20 minutes on days 1-7 and midostaurin orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 8-21. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 3 months of midostaurin medication. Highly effective contraception methods include:
- Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
- Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjects on the study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject.
Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c, or b+c):
- Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception.
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
- Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository
In case of use of oral contraception women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 5 months after stopping midostaurin medication. They should not father a child in this period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid.

Time Frame: Day 28
|
Patients received azacitidine 75 mg/m intravenous over 30 minutes daily for 7 consecutive days followed by escalating doses of oral midostaurin (25 mg bid, 50 mg bid, and 75 mg bid) days 8-21.

Time Frame: After 2 cycles of therapy
|
Number of participants with HI.
Hematologic improvement (HI): must last at least 2 months in the absence of ongoing cytotoxic therapy and will be another endpoint of interest (although it will not be considered in the final statistical analysis) and will be defined according to IWG criteria .

After 2 cycles of therapy
|
Overall Response Rate (Phase II)
Time Frame: after 4 months of treatment
|
Number of participants with CR, CRi, PR and Hematologic improvement (HI).
Response will be assessed using the standard morphologic criteria for acute leukemia as follows: Complete remission (CR): ANC ≥ 1000/ uL and platelets of > 100,000/ uL without circulating blasts and bone marrow with < 5% blasts and no Auer rods; Morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood recovery (CRi): Patients fulfills all of the criteria for remission except for residual neutropenia (ANC < 1000/ uL) or thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000/uL).
