ASTX727 and Dasatinib for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome or BCR-ABL Positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies the effect of ASTX727 and dasatinib in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome or BCR-ABL positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. Philadelphia chromosome positive and BCR-ABL positive are types of genetic mutations (changes). Chemotherapy drugs, such as ASTX727, 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. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. ASTX727 and dasatinib may help to control Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia or BCR-ABL positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To estimate the proportion of patients with previously-untreated chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who achieve molecular response 4 (MR4) after 6-months of the combination of decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) and dasatinib 50 mg daily.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To estimate the proportion of patients with previously-untreated chronic phase CML who achieve MR4 after both the 3-months of the combination of ASTX727 and dasatinib 50 mg daily.
-
To estimate cumulative overall rate of molecular response 4.5 (MR4.5). III. To estimate the 12-months major molecular response (MMR) rate. IV. To estimate the proportion of patients with MR4.5 at 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, and 36-months of therapy.
-
To estimate the proportion of patients with sustained MR4.5 of 3 years and more.
-
To estimate the treatment-free remission rate (TFR), time to progression, and overall survival.
-
To assess the safety of this combination.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Beginning cycle 4, patients also receive decitabine and cedazuridine PO QD on days 1-3. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 3 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MAINTENANCE: Patients receive dasatinib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 12 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 6 months thereafter.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of molecular response 4 (MR4) [At 6 months]
Will be estimated with 95% credible intervals. The association between molecular responses and demographic/ clinical characteristics will be examined by Wilcoxon's rank sum test or Fisher's exact test.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of MR4.5 [At 12 months]
Will be presented with 95% confidence intervals. The association between molecular responses and demographic/ clinical characteristics will be examined by Wilcoxon's rank sum test or Fisher's exact test.
- Major molecular response rate [At 12 months]
Will be presented with 95% confidence intervals. The association between molecular responses and demographic/ clinical characteristics will be examined by Wilcoxon's rank sum test or Fisher's exact test.
- Treatment-free remission rate [Up to 15 years]
Will be presented with 95% confidence intervals. The association between molecular responses and demographic/ clinical characteristics will be examined by Wilcoxon's rank sum test or Fisher's exact test.
- Time to progression [Up to 15 years]
Survival time will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who drop out of the study will be included in the time to event data as "censored data". The two-sided log-rank test will be used to assess the differences of time to events between groups.
- Overall survival [Up to 15 years]
Survival time will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who drop out of the study will be included in the time to event data as "censored data". The two-sided log-rank test will be used to assess the differences of time to events between groups.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Diagnosis of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive or BCR-ABL positive CML in early chronic phase CML (i.e., time from diagnosis =< 12 months). Except for hydroxyurea and/or 1 to 2 doses of cytarabine patients must have received no or minimal prior therapy, defined as < 1 month (30 days) of prior Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)
-
Clonal evolution defined as the presence of additional chromosomal abnormalities other than the Ph chromosome has historically been included as a criterion for accelerated phase. However, patients with clonal evolution as the only criterion of accelerated phase have a significantly better prognosis, and when present at diagnosis may not impact the prognosis at all. Thus, patients with clonal evolution and no other criteria for accelerated phase will be eligible for this study
-
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 0-2
-
Total bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless secondary to Gilbert's disease, in which case should be < 2.5 x ULN)
-
Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) < 3 x ULN
-
Creatinine < 1.5 x ULN
-
Patients must sign an informed consent indicating they are aware of the investigational nature of this study, in keeping with the policies of the hospital

Women of pregnancy potential must practice an effective method of birth control during the course of the study, in a manner such that risk of failure is minimized. Prior to study enrollment, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during trial participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy. Postmenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Women must continue birth control for the duration of the trial and at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Pregnant or breast-feeding women are excluded. All WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test prior to first receiving investigational product. If the pregnancy test is positive, the patient must not receive study drug and must not be enrolled in the study
