CPX-351 or CLAG-M Regimen for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Other High-Grade Myeloid Neoplasms in Medically Less-Fit Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well CPX-351 or the CLAG-M regimen (consisting of the drugs cladribine, cytarabine, G-CSF, and mitoxantrone) works in treating medically less-fit patients with acute myeloid leukemia or other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CPX-351, cladribine, cytarabine, G-CSF, and mitoxantrone, 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 CPX-351 or the CLAG-M regimen at doses typically used for medically-fit patients with acute myeloid leukemia may work better than reduced doses of CPX-351 in treating medically less-fit patients with acute myeloid leukemia or other high-grade myeloid neoplasms.

Detailed Description
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms in a 1:1 fashion. ARM I = CPX-351; ARM II = CLAG-M.
ARM I (INDUCTION): Patients receive CPX-351 intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a response other than an MRDneg CR receive a second course of CPX-351 intravenously IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM I (POST-REMISSION): Patients who achieve a CR or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) receive a reduced dose of CPX-351 IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5 for up to 4 additional courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (INDUCTION): Patients receive cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, G-CSF subcutaneously (SC) on days 0-5, and mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a response other than an MRDneg CR receive a second course of cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, G-CSF SC on days 0-5, and mitoxantrone IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (POST-REMISSION): Patients who achieve a CR/CRi receive an intermediate dose of cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-6 for up to 4 additional courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 3-month overall survival (OS) [Up to 3 months from date of start of protocol therapy]
Will evaluate whether CPX-351 or cladribine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and mitoxantrone (CLAG-M), at doses typically used for medically-fit adults with AML, improve 3-month overall survival in medically-unfit adults with AML compared to attenuated dose CPX-351 as used in our previous institutional trial (32 units/m2 per dose).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Complete remission (CR) rates [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Will compare CR rates between the study arms.
- MRDneg CR rates [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Will compare MRDneg CR rates between the study arms.
- Response duration [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Will compare response duration between the study arms.
- Relapse-free survival [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Will compare RFS between the study arms.
- Incidence of adverse events [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Will use the CTCAE (National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 5.0 for toxicity and adverse event reporting. Will describe the toxicity profile and infectious complications of each study treatment.
- 30-day mortality rate [At 30 days]
- 60-day mortality [At 60 days]
- Quality of life (QOL): questionnaire [Up to 5 years post treatment]
QOL of patients will be assessed longitudinally using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core QOL questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the newly developed acute myeloid leukemia-specific QOL instrument.
- Patient use of medical resources (e.g. transfusions) [Up to 5 years post treatment]
Electronic medical chart review to enumerate the number of platelet and red blood cell transfusions administered, the number of days spent on IV antimicrobial therapy, and the number of days spent in the ICU
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Diagnosis of untreated "high-grade" myeloid neoplasm (>=10% blasts in blood or bone marrow) or AML other than acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Outside diagnostic material is acceptable to establish diagnosis; submission of peripheral blood specimen for flow cytometry performed at the study institution should be considered. Diagnostic material must have been submitted for cytogenetic and/or molecular testing as clinically appropriate
