About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Pacritinib and Chemotherapy in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia and FLT3 Mutations

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pacritinib when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that have an abnormal change (mutation) in the fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene. Pacritinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and decitabine, 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. Giving pacritinib and chemotherapy may be a better treatment for acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 mutations.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pacritinib in combination with 7+3 or decitabine (respective cohorts are independent of each other) in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FLT3 mutations.

II. To define the specific toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of these combinations.

III. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of these combinations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the rate and duration of complete remission (CR) +/- hematologic recovery of pacritinib and 7+3 or decitabine in AML.

II. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) and disease free survival at 1 year.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To conduct pharmacokinetic studies of pacritinib in combination with chemotherapy.

II. To determine the impact of pacritinib on the inhibition of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), FLT3, AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL), signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5), spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk).

III. To examine the exosome, cytokine, and chemokine changes of FLT3 down-stream inhibition by pacritinib.

IV. To examine resistance patterns associated with treatment with pacritinib. V. To examine baseline cytogenetic, GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle (GEM) signature, and long non-coding (Lnc) ribonucleic acid (RNA) signature and mutational status of the AML tumor cells to better identify subsets of patients with highest likelihood of responding to therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of pacritinib. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

COHORT A:

INDUCTION: Patients receive pacritinib orally (PO) on days 1-21, cytarabine intravenously (IV) every 24 hours on days 5-11, and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV every 24 hours on days 5-7. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 1-2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

COHORT B:

INDUCTION: Patients receive pacritinib PO on days 1-21 and decitabine IV every 24 hours on days 5-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2-4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE: Patients achieving CR will proceed with transplant evaluation (if appropriate). Transplant-ineligible patients will receive maintenance courses of pacritinib PO on days 1-21 and decitabine IV over 1 hour daily on days 1-5. Maintenance courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for at least 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of pacritinib defined as the highest safely tolerated dose where, at most, one patient experiences DLT in 6 evaluable patients, with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT

    Assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03. Toxicities will be tabulated by type and grade and displayed in summary form. Further, all adverse event data that are graded as 3, 4, or 5 and classified as either unrelated or unlikely to be related to study treatment will be reviewed for completeness.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical response according to International Working Group criteria

    The degree of response will be summarized within each stratum and at each dose level. ORR will also be presented for those patients treated at the MTD with an exact 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to at least 30 days post-treatment

  2. Duration of response

    For patients who achieve complete remission, duration of response will be reported.

    Measured: Up to at least 30 days post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pacritinib, Cytarabine and Daunorubicin Hydrochloride in people with Recurrent Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Bhavana Bhatnagar at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

MTD of pacritinib defined as the highest safely tolerated dose where, at most, one patient experiences DLT in 6 evaluable patients, with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT (time frame: 28 days). 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 25 Jan 2019.
