A Study of ASP2215 Versus Salvage Chemotherapy In Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) With FLT3 Mutation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit of ASP2215 therapy in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) mutated AML who are refractory to or have relapsed after first-line AML therapy as shown with overall survival (OS) compared to salvage chemotherapy. In addition, this study will evaluate safety as well as determine the overall efficacy in event-free survival (EFS) and complete remission (CR) rate of ASP2215 compared to salvage chemotherapy.

Detailed Description
Participants considered an adult according to local regulations at the time of signing informed consent will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive ASP2215 or salvage chemotherapy. Participants will enter the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Prior to randomization, the investigator will preselect a salvage chemotherapy regimen for each participant; options will include low-dose cytarabine (LoDAC), mitoxantrone, etoposide and intermediate-dose cytarabine (MEC) or fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG). The randomization will be stratified by response to first-line therapy and preselected salvage chemotherapy. Participants will be administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles.
Among the participants, approximately 20 Chinese participants who are randomized into the ASP2215 arm will be allocated to the pharmacokinetic (PK) cohort. Participants in the PK cohort will be requested to be hospitalized from the date of randomization (Day 1) to at least the completion of all the assessments planned on Day 2. All participants in the PK cohort will undergo blood sampling for PK measurement of ASP2215. Participants in PK cohort will be administered the study drug in the same manner and undergo the same efficacy and safety assessments as other participants except for blood sampling for additional PK measurements.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival [up to 3 years]
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. For a participant who is not known to have died by the end of study follow-up, OS is censored at the date of last contact.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Event-free survival [up to 3 years]
Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse (including relapse after complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) and complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi)), treatment failure or death whichever occurs first.
- Complete remission [up to 3 years]
For participants to be classified as being in CR, the participants must have bone marrow regenerating normal hematopoietic cells and achieve a morphologic leukemia-free state and must have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 1 x 10^9/L and platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L and normal marrow differential with less than 5% blasts, and will be red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusion independent (defined as 1 week without RBC transfusion and 1 week without platelet transfusion). There should be no evidence of extramedullary leukemia.
- Leukemia-free survival [up to 3 years]
Leukemia-free survival (LFS) is defined as the time from the date of first composite complete remission (CRc) until the date of documented relapse or death for participants who achieve CRc. For a participant who is not known to have relapsed or died, LFS is censored on the date of last relapse-free disease assessment date.
- Duration of composite complete remission (CRc) [up to 3 years]
Duration of CRc is defined as the time from the date of first CRc until the date of documented relapse for participants who achieve CRc.
- Duration of complete remission (CR) [up to 3 years]
Duration of CR is defined as the time from the date of first CR until the date of documented relapse for participants who achieve CR.
- Duration of complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) [up to 3 years]
Duration of CRp is defined as the time from the date of first CRp until the date of documented relapse for participants who achieve CRp.
- Duration of complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) [up to 3 years]
Duration of CRi is defined as the time from the date of first CRi until the date of documented relapse for participants who achieve CRi.
- Composite complete remission rate [up to 3 years]
CRc rate is defined as the remission rate of all CR, CRp and CRi (i.e., CR + CRp + CRi)
- Transplantation rate [up to 3 years]
Transplantation rate is defined as the percentage of participants undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
- Brief Fatigue Inventory [up to 3 years]
Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) will assess the severity of fatigue and the impact of fatigue on daily functioning in participants with fatigue due to cancer and cancer treatment. The BFI short form has 9 items and a 24-hour recall. A global fatigue score is computed by averaging the 9 items.
- Safety assessed by adverse events [up to 3 years]
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug or has undergone study procedures and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
- Safety assessed by laboratory test: chemistry [up to 3 years]
To assess chemistry as a criteria of safety variables
- Safety assessed by laboratory test: hematology [up to 3 years]
To assess hematology as a criteria of safety variables
