Venetoclax and HMA Treatment of Older and Unfit Adults With FLT3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)

Study Summary

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of azacitidine and venetoclax to the combination treatment of azacitidine, venetoclax and gilteritinib in treating older and unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3 mutations. Azacitidine is a drug that is absorbed into DNA and leads to the activation of cancer suppressor genes, which are genes that help control cell growth. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a certain naturally occurring substance that may be needed to help cancer cells multiply. This study may help doctors find out if these different approaches are better than the usual approaches. To decide if they are better, the study doctors are looking to see if the study drugs lead to a higher percentage of patients achieving a deeper remission compared to the usual approach.

Primary Outcome

Will be assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry at a level of ≤ 1 residual blast / 1,000 leukocytes (≤ 10\^-3). Patients achieved MRD negative CR at any time up to 4 cycles will count as a responder. The MRD negative CR frequencies will be compared between each triplet regimen and the control regimen using Fisher's exact test with one-sided alpha of 0.05 for each comparison. Test results with one-sided p-value \< 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
