Purpose

This is an international, multicenter, open-label, randomized, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of AG-221 versus conventional care regimens (CCRs) in subjects 60 years or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) refractory to or relapsed after second- or third-line AML therapy and positive for an isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) mutation.

Detailed Description

      Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a form of cancer that is common in older patients. Mutations
      in the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 2 (IDH2) have been found in approximately 15% of
      patients with AML.

      The outcome of first line chemotherapy treatment is poor and many patients fail to attain
      complete remission (CR, ie refractory) or will eventually relapse. There is no single
      standard of care for relapsed or refractory AML. Since the prognosis is very poor there is a
      great need for new therapies.

      Inhibition of the mutant IDH2 enzyme may represent a promising targeted therapy for AML.
      AG-221 is a small molecule inhibitor of the IDH2 enzyme, designed to preferentially target
      the mutant IDH2 variants. Data from the ongoing first-in-human study has shown AG-221 to be
      generally well tolerated and demonstrated CR in patients with IDH2 mutation positive relapsed
      or refractory AML.

      The study purpose is to test the safety and efficacy of AG-221 compared with conventional
      care regimens (CCR), which include best supportive care (BSC) only, azacitidine plus BSC,
      low-dose cytarabine plus BSC or intermediate-dose cytarabine plus BSC, in patients with late
      stage AML refractory to or relapsed after second or third line therapy and positive for the
      IDH2 mutation. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive open-label tablets of AG-221 or
      one of the CCR on continuous 28-day treatment cycles. The trial duration is expected to be 78
      months which includes 42 months enrollment, approximately 7 months treatment and a follow-up
      period.

      Study procedures include: vital signs, physical exams, ECGs, ECHO, urine/blood samples, bone
      marrow aspirates and/or biopsies and peripheral blood to test for IDH2 and assess treatment
      response. Bone marrow, blood, cheek swab samples will be used for genetic tests.

      This study is being sponsored by Celgene Corporation. Approximately 316 participants will
      take part in the study.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:

          1. Subject is ≥ 60 years of age at the time of signing the ICF

          2. Subject has primary (ie, de novo) or secondary (progression of MDS or
             myeloproliferative neoplasms ([MPN], or therapy-related) AML according to WHO
             classification (Appendix B)

          3. Subject has received second- or third-line of AML therapy (see Appendix G for the
             definition of prior AML line; note that, for subjects having AML secondary to prior
             higher risk [Intermediate-2 or High risk according to the International Prognostic
             Scoring System] MDS treated with a hypomethylating agent [eg, azacitidine or
             decitabine], the hypomethylating therapy can be counted as a line if there is disease
             progression to AML during or shortly [eg, within 60 days] after the hypomethylating
             therapy.)

          4. Subject has the following disease status:

               1. Refractory to or relapsed after second- or third-line of intensive therapy for
                  AML (eg, the "7 + 3" regimen):

                  at least 5% leukemic blasts in bone marrow (the minimum number of treatment
                  cycles of the intensive therapy is per the investigator's discretion); or

               2. Refractory to or relapsed after second- or third-line low-intensity AML therapy
                  (eg, LDAC, azacitidine or decitabine):

             at least 5% leukemic blasts in bone marrow after at least 2 treatment cycles

          5. Subject is eligible for and willing to receive the pre-selected CCR treatment option,
             according to the investigator's assessment (Note: Subjects with degenerative and toxic
             encephalopathies, especially after the use of methotrexate or treatment with ionizing
             radiation, should not receive cytarabine.)

          6. Subject has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
             (Appendix D)

          7. Subject has IDH2 gene mutations tested centrally (using the "investigational use
             only"PCR assay, Abbott RealTime IDH2) in samples of bone marrow aspirate and
             peripheral blood, and confirmed positive in bone marrow aspirate and/or peripheral
             blood. (Note: in the event that the central laboratory result is delayed and precludes
             acute clinical management of a subject who has confirmed IDH2 gene mutation by local
             evaluation, the subject may be eligible for randomization with approval by the Medical
             Monitor.)

               -  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)

                  x upper limit of normal (ULN), unless considered due to leukemic organ
                  involvement, following review by the Medical Monitor; and

               -  Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, unless considered due to Gilbert's syndrome
                  (eg, a gene mutation in UGT1A1) or leukemic organ involvement, following review
