About this study

Official title: Dose-Finding Run-in Phase I Followed by a Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Crenolanib in Combination With Chemotherapy in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Activating FLT3 Mutations

The main trial is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase III, multi-center trial in adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML harboring an activating FLT3 mutation as defined in the inclusion /exclusion criteria.

An initial open label dose-finding run-in phase I of the study will be performed administering the study drug crenolanib with salvage chemotherapy consisting of mitoxantrone and cytarabine (MC) in 18 patients according to the experimental arm of the study. After completion of this dose-finding run-in phase I, toxicity and response data will be provided to the external Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and the Trial Committee by the Coordinating Investigator. The Trial Committee will decide on the basis of these data and the recommendation of the DSMB on dose modification and the further conduct of the study with regard to the double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized phase of the study.

Read more

The double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized portion will start after the completion of the dose-finding run-in phase I and positive opinion of the Trial Committee.

Crenolanib starts on day 7 of MC and is given continuously until 48 hours prior to the next chemotherapy; if receiving allogeneic HCT, crenolanib is held 48 hours prior to conditioning and restarts no sooner than 30 days and not later than day 100 after transplant.

Sample size randomized phase: 276 patients

Primary objective: To evaluate the impact of crenolanib given in combination with salvage chemotherapy and consolidation including allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and ongoing single agent maintenance therapy with crenolanib on event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML harboring FLT3 activating mutations.

What participants receive

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

  • chemotherapy (Mitoxantrone, Cytarabine)Drug

    Induction therapy:

    • Mitoxantrone 10 mg/m² IV, push (8 mg/m² for patients > 60 years of age and/or previous allogeneic HCT) d 1-3
    • Cytarabine 1000 mg/m² IV (500 mg/m² for patients > 60 years of age and/or previous allogeneic HCT), over 3 hours, d 1-6

    Consolidation therapy:

    Younger adult patients (18 to 60 yrs):

    Cytarabine 1500 mg/m² by i.v infusion over 3 hours BID on days 1-3 (total dose 9000 mg/m²).

    Older patients (> 60 yrs) and or previous allogeneic HCT:

    Cytarabine 1000 mg/m² by i.v. infusion over 3 hours BID on days 1-3 (total dose 6000 mg/m²).

  • PlaceboDrug

    Induction therapy:

    Placebo to be given as p.o. TID starting d 7+, given continuously thereafter until 48 hours prior to the next chemotherapy.

    Consolidation therapy:

    Placebo will start on day 4, thereafter with continuous dosing until 48h before start of subsequent consolidation chemotherapy.

    Maintenance therapy with placebo is intended in all patients after allogeneic HCT or intermediate-dose cytarabine consolidation therapy. Maintenance therapy will be given for 364 days (equivalent to 13 cycles à 28 days) after recovery from allogeneic HCT or IDAC.

    Maintenance with placebo will be given at the same dose tolerated during induction therapy.

  • CrenolanibDrug

    Induction therapy:

    Crenolanib to be given as p.o. TID starting d 7+, given continuously until 48 hours prior to the next chemotherapy.

    Consolidation therapy:

    Crenolanib will start on day 4, thereafter with continuous dosing until 48h before start of subsequent consolidation chemotherapy.

    Maintenance therapy with Crenolanib is intended in all patients after allogeneic HCT or intermediate-dose cytarabine consolidation therapy. Maintenance therapy will be given for 364 days (equivalent to 13 cycles à 28 days) after recovery from allogeneic HCT or IDAC.

    Maintenance with Crenolanib will be given at the same dose tolerated during induction therapy.

  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantationOther

    In patients achieving a CR or CRi after salvage-reinduction chemotherapy allogeneic HCT from a matched related or unrelated donor is the preferred form of consolidation. Preferred source of allogeneic HSC are mobilized peripheral blood stem cells. Other forms of allogeneic transplantation (haploidentical donor; cord blood) are allowed.

    Allogeneic HCT should be conducted at the earliest time point after the start of the last chemotherapy but no later than after 56 days. A delay of transplant beyond this time window need to be discussed with the Coordinating Investigator. Patients can receive allogeneic HCT directly after salvage re-induction chemotherapy with MC, but also later on following consolidation with IDAC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing chemotherapy (Mitoxantrone, Cytarabine), Crenolanib and Allogeneic stem cell transplantation in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Ulm at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 27 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The manufacturer Arog Pharmaceuticals Inc has terminated the Agreement Concerning the Support of an Investigator Initiated Trial this became valid on 2020/03/09). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free Survival (EFS) (time frame: 4 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
