About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Investigator Sponsored Study of Selinexor in Combination With Daunorubicin and Cytarabine in Patients With Previously Untreated Poor-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety of combining selinexor with daunorubicin and cytarabine. The maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of selinexor with daunorubicin and cytarabine will also be established.

Read the detailed description

Induction Therapy - Dose escalation of selinexor with Daunorubicin and cytarabine at fixed doses.

Consolidation Phase - Patients who are in complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi) by day ≤70 and have recovered from any previous non- hematologic toxicity to baseline or grade ≤1 by day ≤70 following induction chemotherapy may go on to receive consolidation therapy for up to 2 cycles. The consolidation treatment phase will include up to two courses of therapy (28 day cycles) as follows:

Daunorubicin 45mg/m^2/day (days 1-2) Cytarabine 100mg/m^2/day (continuous infusion on days 1-5) Selinexor same dose as induction (days 1,3,8,10) unless dose limiting toxicity (DLT) dictates a dose reduction. Selinexor will be given 2 hours prior to daunorubicin on day 1.

A second cycle of consolidation therapy using the same doses as above will be administered, at the investigators discretion, between 28 and 42 days following initiation of the first consolidation treatment, after peripheral blood counts have recovered to CR, CRi levels, and after recovery from any non-hematologic toxicity to baseline or grade ≤1. Dose escalation of Selinexor will not occur during the consolidation phase.

Maintenance Phase - Patients who remain in CR, CRi after up to 2 cycles of consolidation and are not eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant will be eligible for the maintenance phase of treatment after recovery from any previous non-hematologic toxicity to baseline or grade ≤1. Maintenance therapy will consist of:

Selinexor at the same dose as induction on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle. They will continue for a maximum of 12 months.

Expansion Phase - Once the MTD has been established, there will be an expansion phase to enroll an additional 13 subjects at the MTD to better characterize the safety profile and tolerability.

    • Dose Level -1: 40 mg twice weekly.

    Consolidation: Selinexor same dose as induction (days 1,3,8,10) unless dose limiting toxicity (DLT) dictates a dose reduction.

    Maintenance: Selinexor at the same dose as induction on days 1 and 8 a 21 day cycle. They will continue for a maximum of 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Selinexor

    MTD / Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of selinexor with daunorubicin and cytarabine. Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT): Non-hematologic - Any grade 3-4 drug-related non-hematologic toxicity, with the following exceptions: Nausea/vomiting or diarrhea adequately controlled with antiemetics/antidiarrheals; Infection or febrile neutropenia adequately controlled with antibiotics; Liver function abnormalities (without clinical symptoms) that recover to baseline or grade 0-1 within 7 days; Grade 3-4 electrolyte or metabolic laboratory abnormalities that are not considered clinically significant by the treating investigator/physician and that recover to baseline or grade 0-1 within 7 days; Alopecia. Hematologic - Grade 3-4 neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia (thought to be due to marrow hypoplasia and NOT leukemic burden) that does not recover to grade ≤2 by day 56.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of Complete Response (CR) Plus Complete Response with Incomplete Count Recovery (CRi).

    A CR designation requires that the patient achieve the morphologic leukemia-free state and have an absolute neutrophil count of more than 1,000/μL and platelets of 100,000/μL. A CRi designation requires that the patient achieve the morphologic leukemia-free state with incomplete recovery of neutrophils (<1,000/μL) or platelets (<100,000/μL).

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  2. Disease Free Survival (DFS)

    Disease free survival is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR/CRi until the first date that relapse is objectively documented.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  3. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to progression is a secondary endpoint that will be measured as the time from when the patient started treatment to the time the patient is first recorded as having relapsed, or the date of death if the patient dies due to causes other than disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is a secondary endpoint that will be measured as time from the start of treatment until death from any cause, or the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Selinexor, Daunorubicin and Cytarabine in people with Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 11 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 3 Oct 2022. 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?

Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Selinexor (time frame: Up to 18 months). 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 3 Oct 2022.
