Trial to Test the Effects of Adding 1 of 2 New Treatment Agents to Commonly Used Chemotherapy Combinations (AML18)

January 22, 2020 updated by: Prof Nigel Russell, Cardiff University

A Trial for Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

The AML18 Trial will evaluate several relevant therapeutic questions in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), as defined by the WHO, and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The trial is primarily designed for patients over 60 years considered fit for an intensive chemotherapeutic approach, but younger patients who may not be considered suitable for the concurrent NCRI AML Trial for younger patients may also enter. Patients for whom intensive chemotherapy is not thought suitable may enter the concurrent NCRI trial of less intensive therapy (LI1). Approximately 1600 patients will be recruited.

At entry, a randomisation will compare a standard chemotherapy schedule DA (Daunorubicin/Ara-C) combined with 1 dose of Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin, or GO) in course 1 against CPX-351. Patients who have known adverse risk cytogenetics (using Grimwade 2010 classification favourable/intermediate/adverse) at diagnosis may enter a Phase 2 evaluation of the combination of Vosaroxin plus Decitabine. Patients who achieve complete remission (CR) and who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of DA will receive one further course of DA, with a randomisation to receive, either a course of DA or intermediate dose Cytarabine (IDAC) as a third course. Patients who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of CPX-351 will receive up to 2 further course of CPX. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of DA or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available, are eligible to be randomised to compare DA with DA plus Cladribine (DAC) or FLAG-Ida for up to two courses of therapy. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of CPX-351 or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available are eligible to be randomised between a second course of standard dose CPX versus a repeat of the course 1 schedule. Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from these post course 1 randomisations .

Following the outcome of course 1, patients who received DA chemotherapy on course 1 will be randomised to receive further chemotherapy with the 2nd generation FLT3 inhibitor AC220. Patients randomised to AC220 will be allocated a maximum of 3 courses (short AC220) or 3 courses plus maintenance for 1 year (long AC220). Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from this randomisation.

Patients will be eligible for a non-intensive allogeneic stem cell transplant if a suitable HLA matched donor is available.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

AML18 is a trial primarily for older patients with AML and high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). It offers a randomised controlled Phase II/III trial which uses a factorial design for maximum efficiency to evaluate two induction options followed by treatment with small molecule beyond course 1, and dose intensification for patients without evidence of MRD negativity.

There are five randomised comparisons within the trial:

  1. At diagnosis:

    For patients not known to have adverse risk cytogenetics DA chemotherapy plus a single dose of 3 mg/m2 of Mylotarg versus CPX-351. Patients with abnormal LFTs can enter the randomisation but receive DA alone or CPX-351.

  2. For patients who received DA chemotherapy but are not in CR or who are MRD +ve, or for whom MRD is not assessable.

    DA versus DAC versus FLAG-Ida

  3. All patients at second course who have received DA and have not received Vosaroxin and Decitabine induction AC220 versus no AC220 for a maximum of 3 cycles; then with or without maintenance for 1 year for patients allocated AC220
  4. For patients who are in CR or CRi and MRD -ve post course1 and have completed 2 courses of DA DA versus intermediate dose Cytarabine (IDAC)
  5. For patients who received CPX-351 chemotherapy but are not in CR or who are MRD +ve, or for whom MRD is not assessable CPX-351 100 units/m2 x 3 doses versus CPX-351 100 units/m2 x 2 doses

The trial will also assess:

  • Non-intensive allogeneic stem cell transplant for patients with matched sibling or matched unrelated donors.
  • The combination of Vosaroxin and Decitabine for those with known adverse risk cytogenetics at diagnosis

Description

Inclusion Criteria

Patients are eligible for the AML18 trial if:

  • They have one of the forms of acute myeloid leukaemia, except Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia as defined by the WHO Classification (Appendix A) this can be any type of de novo or secondary AML - or high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome, defined as greater than 10% marrow blasts (RAEB-2). (NB patients with prior MDS (>10% blasts, RAEB2) have received azacitidine are not eligible for the trial, but patients with <10% who have failed a hypomethylating agent and developed AML may enter the trial).
  • Patients should normally be over the age of 60, but patients under this age are eligible if they are not considered eligible for the MRC AML19 trial please contact the trial team for further information.
  • Patients entering the Vosaroxin/Decitabine arm must be over the age of 60 and have known adverse risk cytogenetics.
  • They have given written informed consent.
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN (upper limit of normal)
  • Sexually mature males must agree to use an adequate and medically accepted method of contraception throughout the study if their sexual partners are women of child bearing potential (WOCBP). Men should be advised to not father a child while receiving trial treatment. Similarly women must agree to adequate contraceptive measures and avoid becoming pregnant while on protocol treatment. In both males and females these measures must be in place for at least 3 months following completion of Decitabine and at least 6 months after the last administration of Cladribine. The time period following treatment with Decitabine where it is safe to become pregnant is unknown. In the event of pregnancy at any point during the trial, the IMPs should be immediately stopped and the Trial Team should be contacted and pregnancy reporting procedures followed.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Arm A

Patients not known adverse karyotype

Randomise between

Daunorubicin 60mg/m2 daily by i.v. infusion on days 1, 3 and 5 (3 doses) Cytosine Arabinoside 100mg/m2 12 hourly by i.v. push on days 1 - 10 inclusive (20 doses) Mylotarg (GO) 3mg/m2 on day 1 of DA chemotherapy

Versus

CPX-351 100 units/m2 on days 1, 3 and 5

Patients not known to have adverse risk cytogenetics will enter a randomisation comparing DA with Mylotarg (GO) delivered at 3mg/m2 on day 1 of chemotherapy, with CPX-351 on days 1, 3 and 5.
Other Names:
  • CPX-351
  • Mylotarg (GO)
Active Comparator: Arm B

Patients with known adverse karyotype

5 cycles of Vosaroxin and Decitabine therapy

If a patient is known to have adverse risk Cytogenetics at diagnosis they will enter a registration to receive up to 5 courses of Vosaroxin and Decitabine.
Other Names:
  • Decitabine
  • Vosaroxin
Active Comparator: Arm C

Prior to Course 2 - Patients receving DA plus GO in course 1 and MRD positive PC1

Randomise between

Daunorubicin 50mg/2 daily by i.v. infusion on days 1, 3 and 5 (3 doses) Cytosine Arabinoside 100mg/m2 12 hourly by i.v.push on days 1 - 8 inclusive (16 doses)

Versus

Daunorubicin 50mg/m2 daily by i.v. infusion on days 1, 3 and 5 Cytosine Arabinoside 100mg/m2 12 hourly by i.v. push on days 1 - 8 inclusive Cladribine 5mg/m2 daily on days 1 - 5 inclusive

Versus Patients aged 60-69 Fludarabine 30mg/m2 daily on i.v. on days 2 - 6 inclusive Cytosine Arabinoside 1g/m2 daily over 4 hours Fludarabine on days 2 - 6 inclusive

Patients aged 70+ Fludarabine 25mg/m2 daily i.v. on days 2 - 5 inclusive Cytosine Arabinoside 1g/m2 daily over 4 hours Fludarabine on days 2 - 5 inclusive Idarubicin 5mg/m2 i.v. daily on days 3, 4 and 5 (3 doses)

And Randomisation to receive AC220 or not

The randomisation to AC220 or not will take place immediately before course 2 of treatment for patients who have received DA induction +/- Mylotarg, irrespective of residual disease status. Patients allocated to receive AC220 will be randomised in a 1:1 fashion to AC220 or no small molecule with a 1:1 randomisation in patients drawing AC220 between short and long therapy.
Other Names:
  • No AC220
If a patient is not in CR or CRi after course 1 or is MRD +ve/unknown by flow cytometry they will be eligible to be randomised in a 1:1:1 fashion between DA, FLAG-Ida (or mini FLAG-Ida if 70 years or older) and DAC.
Other Names:
  • DAC
  • DA
  • FLAG-Ida
Active Comparator: Arm D

Prior to Course 2 - Patients that received DA plus GO in course 1 and MRD negative PC1

Randomisation to receive AC220 or not

The randomisation to AC220 or not will take place immediately before course 2 of treatment for patients who have received DA induction +/- Mylotarg, irrespective of residual disease status. Patients allocated to receive AC220 will be randomised in a 1:1 fashion to AC220 or no small molecule with a 1:1 randomisation in patients drawing AC220 between short and long therapy.
Other Names:
  • No AC220
Active Comparator: Arm E

Prior to Course 2 for patients receiving CPX in course 1 and MRD positive PC1

Randomisation between

CPX-351 100 units/m2 on days 1, and 3 (CPX 200) versus CPX-351 100 units/m2 on days 1, 3 and 5 (CPX 300)

If a patient is not in CR or CRi after course 1 or is MRD +ve/unknown by flow cytometry they will be eligible to be randomised in a 1:1 fashion between CPX given on days 1, 3 and 5 (3 doses) and CPX given on days 1 and 3 (2 doses).
Other Names:
  • CPX-351
Active Comparator: Arm F

Prior to Course 3 - Patients that received DA plus GO in course 1 and MRD negative PC1

Randomise between Daunorubicin 50 mg/m2 daily by i.v. infusion on days 1 and 3 (2 doses) Cytosine Arabinoside 100 mg/m2 12-hourly by i.v. push on days 1 - 5 inclusive (10 doses)

versus

Intermediate dose Cytarabine (IDAC) schedule Cytosine Arabinoside 1g/m2 daily by 4 hour infusion on days 1- 5 inclusive (5 doses)

Following recovery from course 2, patients in the MRD-ve arm will be randomised between a further 5-day cycle of DA or a cycle of intermediate dose cytarabine (IDAC) as the third chemotherapy course.
Other Names:
