Using the Anticancer Drug Olaparib to Treat Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome With an Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) Mutation

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory), or myelodysplastic syndrome. Patients must also have a change in the gene called the IDH gene (IDH mutation). Olaparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This study is being done to see if olaparib is better or worse in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome compared to the standard chemotherapy drugs.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the rate of complete response (CR) to olaparib using a composite CR endpoint (CR + CR with incomplete hematologic response [CRi] + CR with partial hematologic response [CRh]) in subjects with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1/2 mutant myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or IDH1/2-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) to olaparib using a composite ORR endpoint (CR + morphologic leukemia-free state [MLFS] + partial response [PR]) in patients with IDH mutant AML or MDS treated with olaparib. II. To establish the progression free survival (PFS) of patients with IDH mutant AML or MDS treated with olaparib. III. To determine the overall survival (OS) of patients with IDH mutant AML or MDS treated with olaparib. IV. To establish the duration of response (DOR) to treatment with olaparib. V. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of olaparib in AML or MDS patients. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To establish a relationship between treatment response and correlative studies such as plasma and bone marrow 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) levels, and IDH variant allele frequency. II. To evaluate persistence of double strand breaks in IDH 1/2 mutant AML or MDS. III. To evaluate response to therapy in the different IDH mutant genotypes. IV. To perform molecular profiling assays on malignant and normal tissues, including, but not limited to, whole exome sequencing (WES), ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (RNAseq) order to: IVa. Identify potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers beyond any genomic alteration by which treatment may be assigned. IVb. Identify resistance mechanisms using genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)- and RNA-based assessment platforms. V. To contribute genetic analysis data from de-identified biospecimens to Genomic Data Commons (GDC), a well annotated cancer molecular and clinical data repository, for current and future research; specimens will be annotated with key clinical data, including presentation, diagnosis, staging, summary treatment, and if possible, outcome. VI. To bank blood and bone marrow aspirate obtained from patients at the Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network (ETCTN) Biorepository at Nationwide Children's Hospital. OUTLINE: Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for up to 12 cycles. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and collection of blood throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 90 days and then every 3 months until death.

Previous cytotoxic chemotherapy must have been completed at least 3 weeks and radiotherapy at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1 of treatment on the study, and all adverse events (AEs) (excluding alopecia) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier should have recovered to < grade 1. Patients with hematologic malignancies are expected to have hematologic abnormalities at study entry. Hematologic abnormalities that are thought to be primarily related to leukemia are not considered to be toxicities (AEs) and do not need to resolve to < grade 1. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2 (Karnofsky >= 60%). Patient must have recovered from toxicities of any prior treatment regimen (no Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] grading over 1 for non-hematological toxicities, return to baseline for hematological values). Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Patients with impaired decision-making capacity may have a close relative, guardian, caregiver, or legally authorized representative consent on their behalf. Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless considered due to Gilbert's syndrome (measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless considered due to organ leukemic involvement (measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment). If liver metastases are present in which case they must be =< 5 x ULN. Creatinine clearance of > 30 ml/min (measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment). Patients are eligible for this study if low blood count and transfusion support are due to the MDS/AML.

Patients with active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia or requiring maintenance intrathecal chemotherapy. Patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy for AML/MDS. Patients actively receiving any other investigational agents. Management of treatment for patients with co-occurring mutations, like FLT3, will be prioritized by the treating physician after discussion of treatment options with the patient. Hyperleukocytosis with > 50,000 white blood cell (WBC)/mcl. Hydroxyurea for WBC count control is permitted before starting treatment and may be continued until day 28 of cycle 1. The maximum dose of hydrea will be 6 grams per day. Patients will be withdrawn from the study if > 50,000 WBC/mcl occur or recur > 14 days after starting treatment on the study. Active, uncontrolled infection. Patients with infection controlled with antibiotics are eligible. Patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection. Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent. Patients who are pregnant or nursing. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because olaparib is a PARP inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with olaparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with olaparib. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study. Resting electrocardiogram indicating uncontrolled, potentially reversible cardiac conditions, as judged by the investigator (e.g., unstable ischemia, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, corrected QT by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) prolongation > 500 ms, electrolyte disturbances, etc.), or patients with congenital long QT syndrome.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Overall response rate (ORR) | The effectiveness of the drug in patients for each cohort will be independently assessed by ORR. The exact two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the ORR will be reported. The CI based on the Greenwoods variance will be reported. | Up to 12 months | 
| Cumulative ORR | Will be evaluated by Myelodysplastic Syndrome International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria (Cheson et al., 2006) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) IWG 2003 criteria (Cheson et al., 2003) after 6 cycles of treatment. Cumulative ORR will include complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), partial response (PR), and bone marrow complete remission (marrow CR) achieved at least at one point during these 6 cycles. | Up to 6 cycles | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Progression-free survival (PFS) | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with the 95% CIs. The CI based on the Greenwoods variance will be reported. In addition, the possible risk factors will be compared for survival with log-rank test. For multivariate analysis, the proportional hazards Cox model will be applied to investigate potential prognostic factors, such as age and stage of disease on the survival data. The adjusted p-values of the odds ratios and the adjusted 95% confidence interval will be reported. | From first day of therapy to the time of documentation of progression, death of any cause, or last follow-up, whichever comes first, assessed up to 12 months |
