Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is currently treated with chemotherapy by combining several drugs with different ways of inhibiting the cell growth. In this trial, standard chemotherapeutics that have proven their effectiveness for years, Ara-C and Idarubicin, will be combined with a new drug called Selinexor.

Selinexor inhibits the growth of cancer cells by keeping certain proteins in the nucleus which control the cell growth.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With CR/CRi = Overall Reponse Rate [1-2 induction cycles (4 - 8 weeks)]

      Efficacy of selinexor in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory AML by determination of rate of complete response (CR) or morphologic complete response with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), as defined by the recommendations on diagnosis and management of AML in adults from an international expert panel, on behalf of the European LeukemiaNet: CR: Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) >1.0x10^9/L, Platelet count >100x10^9/L, Bone marrow blasts <5%, no Auer rods, no evidence of extramedullary disease. CRi: Same as CR, but ANC may be <1.0x10^9/L and/or Platelet count <100x10^9/L. Patients with morphologic leukemia free-state (MLFS) were included in the group of responders. MLFS: Bone marrow blasts <5%, no Auer rods, no evidence of extramedullary disease. The best response after Selinexor treatment was analyzed, thus the best response after the induction cycle(s).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Partial Remission (PR) = Rate of PR [1-2 induction cycles (4 - 8 weeks)]

      Efficacy of selinexor in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory AML by determination of rate of partial remission(PR) as defined by the recommendations on diagnosis and management of AML in adults from an international expert panel, on behalf of the European LeukemiaNet: PR: Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) >1.0x10^9/L, Platelet count >100x10^9/L, at least a 50% decrease in the percentage of marrow aspirate blasts to 5-25%, or marrow blasts <5% with persistent Auer rods. The best response after Selinexor treatment was analyzed, thus the best response after the induction cycle(s).

    2. Percentage of Patients Transplanted After Induction Therapy (Stem Cell Transplantation) [1-2 induction cycles (4 - 8 weeks)]

      Percentage of patients being transplanted after induction therapy (stem cell transplantation)

    3. Early Death Rate [1 induction cycle (4 weeks)]

      Early death was defined as death before the end of the first induction cycle.

    4. Overall Survival [Time from registration to event, max 2 years]

      Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of informed consent to the date of death. Patients still alive at the end of follow-up were censored at the last date of follow-up.

    5. Relapse-Free Survival [Time from registration to event, max 2 years]

      Relapse-free survival (RFS) was calculated from the date of CR/CRi until death or relapse, whichever occurred first. Patients were censored on the date of the last follow-up if they were alive without relapse.

    6. Event-Free Survival [Time from registration to event, max 2 years]

      Event-free survival (EFS) was calculated from the time of informed consent until death, not achieving CR/CRi or relapse after CR/CRi.

    7. Progression-Free Survival [Time from registration to event, max 2 years]

      Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated from the time of informed consent to the date of recurrence or death, whichever occurred first. Patients were censored at the date of the last follow-up visit if they were alive without relapse. Disease progression was defined as presence of >50% increase in bone marrow blasts to a level of at least 50% and/or a doubling of the percentage of peripheral blood blasts to a level of at least 50%.

    Arm/Group Description Induction cycle: All enrolled patients were treated with selinexor, cytarabine and idarubicin as follows: Selinexor: 40 mg/m^2 twice weekly orally starting on day 2 (total of 8 doses per 4-week induction cycle). Idarubcin: i.v. infusion, 10 mg/m^2, on days 1,3,5 in cycle 1 Cytarabine: continuous i.v. infusion day 1-7, 100 mg/m^2 Up to two induction cycles were administered. If a second cycle was applied idarubicin was only given on days 1 and 3. Induction cycle: All enrolled patients were treated with selinexor, cytarabine and idarubicin as follows: Selinexor: 60 mg flat dose twice weekly orally during weeks 1-3 of a 4-week cycle (day 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18; total of 6 doses per 4-week induction cycle). Idarubcin: i.v. infusion, 10 mg/m^2, on days 1,3,5 in cycle 1. Cytarabine: continuous i.v. infusion day 1-7, 100 mg/m^2 Up to two induction cycles were administered.
