Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial
Nivolumab and Oral Cyclophosphamide for R/R AML and HIgh Risk MDS
Summary
This is a phase II trial of nivolumab and low dose cyclophosphamide (CTX) when given in combination to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are not eligible for or decline hematopoietic stem cell transplant. It includes a randomized pilot sub-study during stage 1.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
≥18 years of age
Meets one of the following disease criteria:
Primary (de novo) AML or higher-risk MDS with induction failure: No CR after 2 or more induction attempts with high dose chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents or other agents; no CR after 1 induction attempt and not eligible for a 2nd induction.. Higher risk MDS defined as risk score > 4.5 based on the revised IPSS criteria.
Secondary AML (from antecedent hematologic malignancy or treatment-related): Not in CR after 1 or more cycles of chemotherapy.
Relapsed AML: Blasts ≥5% in bone marrow or peripheral blood after prior attainment of CR; relapse at any time but currently ≥100 days following allogeneic HCT.
Relapsed MDS: Morphologic evidence of relapse or increase in blasts ≥5% in bone marrow or peripheral blood after prior attainment of hematologic improvement; or partial or complete response ; relapse at any time but currently ≥100 days following allogeneic HCT..
ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2 - refer to Appendix II
