Response-Based Chemotherapy in Treating Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome in Younger Patients With Down Syndrome

NCT02521493

Description:

This phase III trial studies response-based chemotherapy in treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Response-based chemotherapy separates patients into different risk groups and treats them according to how they respond to the first course of treatment (Induction I). Response-based treatment may be effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome while reducing the side effects.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the 2-year event-free-survival (EFS) for children with standard risk Down
      syndrome (DS) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (minimal residual disease [MRD]-negative after one
      cycle of induction therapy) after elimination of high dose (HD) Ara-C (cytarabine) from the
      treatment regimen.

      II. To determine the 2-year EFS for children with high risk DS AML (MRD-positive after one
      cycle of induction therapy) after intensification of treatment equivalent to that used for
      high risk AML in children without DS.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare the feasibility and analytical characteristics of flow cytometry, polymerase
      chain reaction (PCR) and targeted error-corrected sequencing of GATA binding protein 1
      (globin transcription factor 1) (GATA1) mutations as methods to detect MRD in DS AML.

      II. To establish a DS AML cell bank of viably frozen bone marrow samples collected at the end
      of induction and corresponding non-tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples collected at end
      of Induction 1.

      OUTLINE:

      INDUCTION I: Patients receive cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1 and intravenously (IV)
      continuously over 96 hours, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 1-15 minutes, and thioguanine
      orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-4. Induction I continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms based on their MRD status after completion of
      Induction I.

      ARM A (STANDARD RISK) (Closed to accrual and treatment with amendment #4A 01/07/2019):

      INDUCTION II: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 96 hours, daunorubicin
      hydrochloride IV over 1-15 minutes, and thioguanine PO BID on days 1-4. Induction II
      continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      INDUCTION III: Patients receive cytarabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and thioguanine as in
      Induction II. Induction III continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      INTENSIFICATION I: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 168 hours on days 1-7 and
      etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1-3. Intensification I continues for a minimum of 28
      days.

      INTENSIFICATION II: Patients receive cytarabine and etoposide as in Intensification I.
      Intensification II continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      ARM B (HIGH RISK):

      INDUCTION II: Patients receive high dose cytarabine IV over 1-3 hours every 12 (Q12) hours on
      days 1-4 and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 3-6. Induction II
      continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      INTENSIFICATION I: Patients receive high dose cytarabine IV over 1-3 hours Q12 hours and
      etoposide IV over 90-120 minutes on days 1-5. Intensification I continues for a minimum of 28
      days.

      INTENSIFICATION II: Patients receive high dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours Q12 hours on days
      1, 2, 8, and 9. Patients also receive asparaginase or asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi (E.
      carotovora) intramuscularly (IM) or IV over 30 minutes on days 2 and 9. Intensification II
      continues for a minimum of 28 days.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month, monthly for 12
      months, every 3 months for 12 months, every 6 months for 3 years, annually for 10 years, and
      then at relapse.
