a study of dsp-2033 (alvocidib) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia

Conditions: Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Summary: this is an open label, multi-center, phase 1 study of dsp-2033 (alvocidib) in combination with cytarabine/mitoxantrone (acm regimen) or cytarabine/daunorubicin (a+7+3 regimen) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml).

this study consists of 2 cohorts of the acm regimen part for japanese relapsed/refractory aml patients and 1 cohort of the a+7+3 regimen part for japanese newly diagnosed aml patients. the purpose of this study are as below. 1. to evaluate the safety of dsp-2033 (alvocidib) in combination with cytarabine/mitoxantrone (acm regimen) in japanese patients with relapsed or refractory aml and to confirm its tolerability. 2. to evaluate the safety of dsp-2033 （alvocidib) in combination with cytarabine/daunorubicin (a+7+3 regimen) in japanese newly diagnosed aml patients and to confirm its tolerability.

disease-free interval not more than 5 years. however, carcinoma in situ that is determined to be cured by local treatment or lesions equivalent to mucosal carcinoma are not included in active multiple malignancies.) 10. have an uncontrolled complication. 11. complicated by mental deficits or have a history of mental deficits. however, patients who are able to comply with the study protocol can be included at the discretion of a physician. 12. complicated by varicella. 13. received any previous treatment with dsp-2033 or other cdk inhibitors. 14. received any investigational product or

days prior to entry. 19. have a history of radiation therapy on the mediastinum. 20. have sustained ≥ grade 2 adverse drug reaction (except alopecia) as specified in ctcae v4.03, which developed by the previous treatment. 21. have a history of hypersensitivity against any one of cytarabine, mitoxantrone, or contained excipients. \[a+7+3 regimen part\] in addition to the exclusion criteria for all parts, patients who meet any one of the following criteria 22 to 23 will be excluded from the a+7+3 regimen part. 22. have the cumulative total exposure of anthracycline, daunorubicin-equivalent dose, exceeds 100 mg/m2 (body surface area) at entry. 23. have a history of hypersensitivity against any one of cytarabine, daunorubicin, or contained excipients.
