a phase 2 study of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (go)-gilteritinib combination in adults with flt3-itd relapse/refractory (r/r) aml

Conditions: AML

Summary: this is a national, open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase ii trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of adding gilteritinib, a new flt3 inhibitor to the agora platform, consisting of the combination of an intermediate dose of cytarabine and a divided dose of go in adult patients with r / r aml with an flt3-itd mutation.

cardiovascular history or symptoms including: * prior anthracycline exposure equivalent to more than 550 mg/m2 of daunorubicin * history of clinically relevant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g. ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or torsade de pointes) * history of 2° (mobitz ii) or 3° heart block (subjects with pacemakers are allowed if they have no history of clinically relevant arrhythmias with the pacemaker) * history of uncontrolled angina pectoris or mi within 6 months * history of nyha class 3 or 4 heart failure * left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50% or less

equal to 450 msec, long qt syndrome (including family history) * bradycardia \< 50 bpm (unless subject has a pacemaker) * systolic bp ≥ 180 mmhg or diastolic bp ≥ 110 mmhg * uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infection (defined as ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate treatment) * active known hbv or hcv hepatitis or positive hiv serology * concurrent therapy with any other investigational agent or cytotoxic drug, within 28 days before starting treatment. only hydroxyurea ± dexamethasone is permitted for the control of blood counts * current use or anticipated requirement for drugs that are known strong inducers of cyp3 a4/5 * current use or anticipated requirement for drugs that are known as strong inhibitors or inducers of p glycoprotein (p-gp), as mentioned in the appendix 14 of the protocol, with the exception of drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the subject * current use or anticipated treatment with concomitant drugs that target 5ht1r or 5ht2br receptors or sigma non-specific receptor, as mentioned in the appendix 15 of the protocol, with exception of drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the subject * known malabsorption syndrome or other condition that may significantly impair absorption of oral study medications * any of concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition, which could compromise participation in the study. * patient currently receiving one or more inadvisable or prohibited treatments described in section 6.4.2 of the protocol. * females who are pregnant or breastfeeding. * women of childbearing potential or partners of women of childbearing potential should use a highly effective method of contraception during treatment and change the duration of contraception after the last dose of the medicines of the study (go, cytarabine and gilteritinib). * for women of childbearing potential (wocbp): agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and after the final dose of study treatment for at least: - 7 months for go, - 6 months for cytarabine, - 6 months for gilteritinib. women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period. a woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization is permanently infertile due to surgery (i.e. removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator (e.g., müllerian agenesis). the definition of childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines or regulations. examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. hormonal contraceptive methods must be supplemented by a barrier method. the reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. if required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized acceptable methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local informed consent form. women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to first dose. * for male patients: acceptance that most of the study treatments require specific reliable and effective contraception measures, as well as measures related to sperm donation agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below with a female partner of childbearing potential who is not pregnant, men who are not surgically sterile must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and after the final dose of study treatment for at least: - 4 months for go, - 6 months for cytarabine, - 4 months for gilteritinib. men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period with pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom to avoid exposing the embryo during the treatment period and for at least: - 4 months for go, - 6 months for cytarabine, - 4 months for gilteritinib. the reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. if required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized acceptable methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local informed consent form. * adults subject to a legal protection order or unable to give their consent * persons deprived of their freedom by judicial or administrative decision, persons hospitalized without their consent by virtue of articles l. 3212-1 and l. 3213-1 and who are not subject to the provisions of article l. 1121-8.
