Phase 1B Study of Venetoclax in Combination With Standard Intensive Chemotherapy With Daunorubicin Plus Cytarabine Followed by High-Dose Cytarabine in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Montefiore Medical Center
Summary
This is a Phase 1b, open-label study evaluating Venetoclax in combination with intensive induction and consolidation chemotherapy in previously untreated, adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia. In Part 1, the dose escalation phase, the safety and tolerability of the combination with Venetoclax at different doses and duration will inform the appropriate dose(s) and regimen(s) for Part 2. In Part 2, the dose expansion phase, a maximum of 28 additional patients will be randomized 1:1 to the MTD determined in Part 1 and the starting dose (assuming the MTD is not the starting dose), to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug combination.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the dose-limiting toxicity and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of daunorubicin \& cytarabine chemotherapy plus Venetoclax for patients with AML SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess efficacy by response per 2022 ELN and revised International Working Group (IWG) criteria. II. To determine additional response parameters: CR/CRi and CR/CRh rates. III. To determine time to response variables including overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS) and duration of response (DOR) EXPLORATORY OBJECTIV…
