About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Non-randomized, Phase I-II Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Oral Quizartinib and the FLAG-IDA Chemotherapy Regimen in First Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML) Patients

This is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, Phase I-II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of oral quizartinib and FLAG-IDA chemotherapy schedule (FLAG-QUIDA regimen) in first relapsed/refractory AML (acute myeloid leukemia) patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients of approximately 20 sites (in Spain and Portugal) will receive FLAG-QUIDA regimen followed by transplantation, when possible, with up to 3 optional consolidation cycles. All patients in CR/CRi (complete remission / complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) will receive a maintenance schedule.

A Phase I (dose escalation) will be performed at 40 mg x 14 days of quizartinib in the first 3 patients, and if no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed, the next cohort of patients will receive 60 mg x 14 days. There is also the possibility of de-escalation cohorts at 60 mg x 7 days and at 40 mg x 7 days. Patients participating in the Phase I will receive the allocated dose level, and therefore, they must not receive strong CYP3A4 inhibitors concomitantly with quizartinib The Phase II will include 68 patients treated at the RP2D (recommended phase 2 dose). A 1-year maintenance schedule starting at 30 mg will be increased to 60 mg/day if appropriate.

Patients will be followed up for a minimum period of 1 year since the first visit of the last patient included.

Being tested
Quizartinib, Fludarabine, Cytarabine, Idarubicin, glycosylated G-CSF
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute

Model description
The study consists of a dose escalation-dose finding part (phase I) and a phase II part. Subjects will have an induction of 1 cycle, by an alloSCT (allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) in CR/CRi, when possible, with up to 3 optional HiDAC (high dose Cytarabine ) consolidation cycles. All patients in CR/CRi will receive a maintenance schedule (12 months, 12 cycles). The phase I portion will progress from starting level dose 1 (40mg 14 days) to level dose 2 (60 mg 14 days). De-escalation to level dose -1 (60mg 7 days) or level dose -2 (40mg 7 days) may be necessary to be explored. Once the RP2D is established, the phase II will start.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Quizartinib, Fludarabine and Cytarabine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 20 sites in Spain.

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 15 inclusion and 28 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Spain. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

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?

RP2D finding (time frame: 1 cycle (4 weeks)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04112589, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 14 Mar 2022.
