Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial
Guadecitabine With or Without Idarubicin or Cladribine in Treating Older Patients With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well guadecitabine with or without idarubicin or cladribine works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cladribine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether guadecitabine with or without idarubicin or cladribine is more effective in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the complete remission (CR) rate, remission duration, leukemia-free survival, and survival in patients >= 70 years with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 4 different guadecitabine (SGI-110) single agent and SGI-110 based combination regimens.
II. To determine the safety profile and tolerability of the 4 SGI-110 single agent and SGI-110 based combination regimens in patients >= 70 years of age with previously untreated AML.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I:
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks for 2-3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR or CR with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) continue on to Maintenance therapy; patients not achieving CR or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) but deriving clinical benefit may continue to Maintenance therapy at the discretion of the Principal Investigator (PI).
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine as in Induction therapy. Courses repeat every 4-8 weeks for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (CLOSED):
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC on days 1-10. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks for 2-3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR or CRp continue on to Maintenance therapy; patients not achieving CR or CRi but deriving clinical benefit may continue to Maintenance therapy at the discretion of the PI.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC on days 1-5 (days 1-10 of courses 1 and 2). Courses repeat every 4-8 weeks for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM III:
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC on days 1-5 and idarubicin intravenously (IV) over up to 1 hour on days 1-2. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks for 2-3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR or CRp continue on to Maintenance therapy; patients not achieving CR or CRi but deriving clinical benefit may continue to Maintenance therapy at the discretion of the PI.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC on days 1-5 and idarubicin IV over up to 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 4-8 weeks for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM IV (CLOSED):
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC and cladribine IV over up to 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks for 2-3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR or CRp continue on to Maintenance therapy; patients not achieving CR or CRi but deriving clinical benefit may continue to Maintenance therapy at the discretion of the PI.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive guadecitabine SC and cladribine IV over up to 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 4-8 weeks for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every month.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who received more than one full course of prior hypomethylating agents azacitidine or decitabine
Have any other severe concurrent disease, or have a history of serious organ dysfunction or disease involving the heart, kidney, liver, or other organ system that may place the patient at undue risk to undergo treatment
Patients with a systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection not controlled (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment)
Pregnant or lactating patients
Any significant concurrent disease, illness, or psychiatric disorder that would compromise patient safety or compliance, interfere with consent, study participation, follow up, or interpretation of study results
Any concurrent malignancy with the exception of the following: a) patients with treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ carcinoma, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, regardless of the disease-free duration, are eligible for this study if definitive treatment for the condition has been completed; b) patients with organ-confined prostate cancer with no evidence of recurrent or progressive disease based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values are also eligible for this study if hormonal therapy has been initiated or a radical prostatectomy has been performed
