About this study

Official title: A Phase II Open-Label Study of the Subcutaneous Administration of Homoharringtonine. (Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate; OMA) in the Treatment of Patients With Chronic Myeloid. Leukemia (CML) Who Have Failed or Are Intolerant to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy

A Phase II open-label trial of subcutaneous HHT (omacetaxine mepesuccinate) in the treatment of patients who are resistant to or intolerant to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open label, multicenter study of subcutaneous HHT (omacetaxine mepesuccinate) therapy of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic, accelerated, or blast phase who have failed or are intolerant to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Patients will be treated with induction course cycles consisting of subcutaneous (SC) HHT 1.25 mg/m² twice daily for 14 consecutive days every 28 days. Patients will be evaluated every 7 days with complete blood and platelet counts while undergoing induction therapy; the number of consecutive doses of HHT or intervals between subsequent cycles may be adjusted, as clinically indicated, according to guidelines provided in the treatment plan.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Omacetaxine mepesuccinateDrug

    Also called Homoharringtonine, HHT, Synribo, OMA

    Induction: 1.25mg/m^2 subcutaneously twice daily for 14 consecutive days, every 28 days.

    Maintenance: 1.25mg/m^2 subcutaneously twice daily for 7 consecutive days, every 28 days.

    Response targets during induction vary by chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) subclass (chronic, accelerated, or blast phase). Participants will complete at least one cycle (14 days treatment of a 28 day cycle) of induction therapy before changing to maintenance therapy. Participants not demonstrating evidence of clinical response after 6 induction cycles will be considered for removal from the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Overall Hematologic Response by Subpopulation and Total Population

    Subpopulations reflect chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) phases at the time of enrollment: chronic, accelerated, and blast phase. Primary endpoints as adjudicated by the Data Monitoring Committee were used for the primary analyses.

    Overall hematologic response for chronic phase participants includes confirmed complete hematologic response (CHR). Overall hematologic response for accelerated or blast phase participants includes confirmed complete hematologic response (CHR), no evidence of leukemia (NEL), or return to chronic phase (RCP). Hematologic response must last >= 8 weeks to be considered meaningful.

    Response rates by disease phase were examined relative to an a priori value of 2.5% using a one-sided lower 95% exact binomial confidence limit. If the lower limit from the one-sided lower 95% confidence limit exceeds 2.5%, the observed response rate will have exceeded the minimum threshold required to demonstrate efficacy.

    Measured: Day 1 up to 6 months

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Major Cytogenetic Response by Subpopulation and Total Population

    Subpopulations reflect chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) phases at the time of enrollment: chronic, accelerated, and blast phase. Primary endpoints as adjudicated by the Data Monitoring Committee were used for the primary analyses.

    Major cytogenetic response includes complete or partial response. Both confirmed and unconfirmed major cytogenetic response is considered meaningful. Unconfirmed response is based on a single bone marrow cytogenetic evaluation for participants where a confirmatory evaluation is not available.

    Complete response shows 0% Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) cells. A partial response shows >0% - 35% Ph+ cells.

    Response rates by disease phase were examined relative to an a priori value of 2.5% using a one-sided lower 95% exact binomial confidence limit. If the lower limit from the one-sided lower 95% confidence limit exceeds 2.5%, the observed response rate will have exceeded the minimum threshold required to demonstrate efficacy.

    Measured: Day 1 up to 9 months

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Subpopulation and Total

    TEAE are any untoward events that were newly occurring or worsening from Baseline.

    Treatment related toxicity was considered by the investigator to be unrelated, possibly, probably or unknown related to study drug. Severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 on the following scale: Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = life-threatening, Grade 5 = death. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that is fatal or life-threatening; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; requires or prolongs in-patient hospitalization; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a patient; and conditions not included in the above that may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    A participant is only counted once in each category (at worst severity or strongest relationship).

    Measured: up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Percentage of Participants in Each Cytogenetic Response Category Representing the Degree of Suppression of the Philadelphia Chromosome (Ph+)

    Cytogenetic response categories:

    • Complete: 0% Ph+ cells
    • Partial: >0%-35% Ph+ cells
    • Minor: >35%-65% Ph+ cells
    • Minimal: >65%-95% Ph+ cells
    • No Response: >95% Ph+ cells
    • Unevaluable: <20 metaphases were examined and/or response could not be assigned

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 9

  2. Percentage of Participants With Major Molecular Response (MMR) Representing the Degree of Suppression of BCR-ABL Transcript Levels Using the Housekeeping Gene GUS

    MMR is defined as a ratio of BCR-ABL/standard gene of less than 0.1% according to the international scale. BCR-ABL is a fusion gene of the breakpoint cluster region [BCR] gene and Abelson proto-oncogene [ABL] genes). This analysis used the standard gene GUS. Analysis was performed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of peripheral blood.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 6

  3. Percentage of Participants With Major Molecular Response (MMR) Representing the Degree of Suppression of BCR-ABL Transcript Levels Using the Housekeeping Gene ABL

    MMR is defined as a ratio of BCR-ABL/standard gene of less than 0.1% according to the international scale. BCR-ABL is a fusion gene of the breakpoint cluster region [BCR] gene and Abelson proto-oncogene [ABL] genes). This analysis used the standard gene ABL. Analysis was performed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of peripheral blood.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 6

  4. Percentage of Participants in Each Hematologic Response Category

    Complete Response (CHR)

    • Chronic phase must last at least 8 weeks: WBC <10*10^9/liter, platelets <450*10^9/liter, myelocytes + metamyelocytes <5% in blood, no blasts or promyelocytes in blood, <20% basophils in peripheral blood, no extramedullary involvement.
    • Accelerated and Blast phase must last at least 4 weeks: absolute neutrophil count 1.5*10^9/liter, platelets 100*10^9/liter, no blood blasts, bone marrow blasts <5%, no extramedullary disease.

    Partial Response - CHR plus one or more of the following:

    • Persistence of splenomegaly with a reduction of ≥50% from pre-treatment
    • Platelets > 450*10^9/L
    • Presence of immature cells in the peripheral blood
    • 5% to 25% blasts in the bone marrow
    • If extra-medullary disease pre-treatment, reduction by ≥50% Hematologic Improvement - CHR, except allowing persistent thrombocytopenia (<100*10^9/L), and a few immature cells No evidence of leukemia: Morphologic leukemia-free state, defined as <5% bone marrow blasts.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 6

  5. Percentage of Participants With Extramedullary Disease (EMD) at Baseline Achieving a Clinical Response

    Clinical response was defined by disease phase and based on evaluations by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC).

    Chronic Phase subgroup: achieving a complete hematologic response and/or major cytogenetic response (complete cytogenetic response or partial cytogenetic response, confirmed or unconfirmed).

    Accelerated Phase and Blast Phase subgroups: achieving complete hematologic response, no evidence of leukemia, return to chronic phase, and/or major cytogenetic response (complete cytogenetic response or partial cytogenetic response, confirmed or unconfirmed).

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 9

  6. Percentage of Participants With the Largest Percentage Reduction From Baseline of T315I Mutated BCR-ABL

    Summarization is based on the best of the individual response assessments. Not assessable indicates that the participant either had no baseline assessment or the % mutation could not be determined in the post-baseline assessment(s).

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 9

  7. Number of Treatment Cycles Needed to Achieve Best Hematologic Response

    Induction therapy was administered for 14 consecutive days for each 28 days cycle, for up to 6 cycles. All treatment arms were given omacetaxine mepesuccinate via subcutaneous (SC) administration at 1.25 mg/m^2 twice a day (BID) for the 14 consecutive days.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 6

  8. Number of Treatment Cycles Needed to Achieve Best Cytogenetic Response

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 9

  9. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Time to Onset of Best Hematologic Response

    Time to onset was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Participants who did not achieve a response are censored at their last visit day.

    Overall hematologic response for chronic phase participants includes confirmed complete hematologic response (CHR). Overall hematologic response for accelerated or blast phase participants includes confirmed complete hematologic response (CHR), no evidence of leukemia (NEL), or return to chronic phase (RCP). Hematologic response must last >= 8 weeks to be considered meaningful.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 6

  10. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Time to Onset of Best Cytogenetic Response

    Time to onset was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Participants who did not achieve a response are censored at their last visit day.

    Major cytogenetic response includes complete or partial response. Both confirmed and unconfirmed major cytogenetic response is considered meaningful. Unconfirmed response is based on a single bone marrow cytogenetic evaluation for participants where a confirmatory evaluation is not available.

    Complete response shows 0% Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) cells. A partial response shows >0% - 35% Ph+ cells.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Month 9

  11. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration of Best Hematologic Response

    Duration of response is defined as the time from first reported date of hematologic response until the earliest date of objective evidence of disease progression, relapse or death. Data was censored at the last examination date for participants with ongoing response or participants who discontinued treatment for reasons other than adverse event, disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to four years

  12. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration of Best Cytogenetic Response

    Duration of response is defined as the time from first reported date of cytogenetic response until the earliest date of objective evidence of disease progression, relapse or death. Data was censored at the last examination date for participants with ongoing response or participants who discontinued treatment for reasons other than adverse event, disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to four years

  13. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Time to Disease Progression

    Time to disease progression is defined as the time from the initiation of treatment until the onset date of death, the development of CML accelerated phase or blast phase, or the loss of complete hematologic response or major cytogenetic response, whichever came first. Participants were censored only if they did not have progression or if they discontinued treatment for reasons other than AE, progression or death.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  14. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the initiation of treatment until death from any cause or the last day of participant contact or evaluation for participants that were lost to follow-up. Participants were censored t the last recorded contract or evaluation when a participant was alive at time of analysis. A quarterly phone survey was conducted to collect survival data for participants who discontinued from the study.

    Measured: up to 4 years
