A Study of Gilteritinib (ASP2215) Combined With Chemotherapy in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3)/Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD) Positive Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

NCT04240002

Description:

The purpose of the phase 1 portion (dose escalation) of the study will be to establish an optimally safe and biologically active recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for gilteritinib in sequential combination with fludarabine, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG). The purpose of the phase 2 portion (dose expansion) is to determine complete remission (CR) rates and composite complete remission (CRc) rates after two cycles of therapy. The study will also assess safety, tolerability and toxicities of gilteritinib in combination with FLAG, evaluate FLT3 inhibition, assess pharmacokinetics (PK), perform serial measurements of minimal residual disease, obtain preliminary estimates of 1-year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rate and assess the acceptability as well as palatability of the formulation. One cycle is defined as 28 days of treatment. A participant completing 2 cycles in phase 1 or 2 will have the option to participate in long term treatment (LTT) with gilteritinib (for up to 2 years).

Maximum Eligible Age:21 Years
Minimum Eligible Age:6 Months
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of participants with dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (phase 1/dose escalation)
Time Frame:Up to 28 days
Safety Issue:
Description:A DLT is defined as any of the events meeting the DLT criteria that occur during the observation period and that is considered to be possibly or probably related to gilteritinib. Nonhematologic Dose-limiting Toxicity will be defined as grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity attributable to gilteritinib that persists for > 48 hours without resolution to grade ≤ 2, will have gilteritinib dosing interrupted. Exceptions include the toxicities commonly seen with intensive AML reinduction regimens. Hematologic Dose-limiting Toxicity will be defined as failure to recover a peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 500/μL and non-transfusion dependent platelet count > 20000/μL due to documented bone marrow aplasia/hypoplasia for greater than or equal to 50 days from the start of cycle 1 day 1. Failure to recover peripheral counts due to disease involvement of the bone marrow will not be considered dose-limiting toxicity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years plus 28 day follow up
Safety Issue:
Description:An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Measure:Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and /or adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.
Measure:Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.
Measure:Number of participants with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG values.
Measure:Percentage of inhibition of phosphorylated FLT3 in participants.
Time Frame:Up to 49 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Inhibition of FLT3 phosphorylation after drug treatment will be determined relative to pre-treatment phosphorylated FLT3 levels in participants to assess the relationship with gilteritinib dose. Phosphorylated FLT3 will be measured by plasma inhibitory activity (PIA) assay.
Measure:Pharmacokinetics (PK) of gilteritinib: oral clearance (CL/F)
Time Frame:Up to 45 days
Safety Issue:
Description:CL/F will be reported from the PK plasma samples collected.
Measure:PK of gilteritinib: apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F)
Time Frame:Up to 45 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Vd/F will be reported from the PK plasma samples collected.
Measure:PK of gilteritinib: Maximum Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame:Up to 45 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Cmax will be reported from the PK plasma samples collected.
Measure:PK of gilteritinib: Time of Maximum Concentration (tmax)
Time Frame:Up to 45 days
Safety Issue:
Description:tmax will be reported from the PK plasma samples collected.
Measure:PK of gilteritinib: Area Under the Concentration (AUC)
Time Frame:Up to 45 days
Safety Issue:
Description:AUC will be reported from the PK plasma samples collected.
Measure:Duration of Event Free Survival (EFS)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:EFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of documented relapse (excluding relapse after PR), treatment failure or death, whichever occurs first. If a participant experiences relapse or death, the participant is defined as having EFS event related to either "relapse" or "death", and the event date is the date of relapse or death. If a participant fails to achieve any of the response of CR, CRp, CRi or PR during the treatment period, the participant is defined as having EFS event related to treatment failure, and the event date is the enrollment date. For a participant who is not known to have had a relapse or treatment failure or death event, EFS is censored at the date of last relapse-free disease assessment. Participant is not censored at hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
Measure:Duration of Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Up to 4 years and 2 months
Safety Issue:
Description:OS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of death from any cause. For a participant who is not known to have died by the end-of-study follow-up, OS is censored at the date of last contact.
Measure:The number of participants with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) status
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:MRD negative status will be defined as FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) signal ratio ≤ 10^-4.
Measure:Number of participants with MRD negative status in relation to CR rate
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:MRD negative status will be defined as FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) signal ratio ≤ 10^-4.
Measure:Number of participants with MRD negative status in relation to CRc rate
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:MRD negative status will be defined as FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) signal ratio ≤ 10^-4.
Measure:Number of participants with MRD negative status in relation to Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:MRD negative status will be defined as FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) signal ratio ≤ 10^-4.
Measure:Clinical Outcome Assessment of Taste
Time Frame:Up to 57 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The acceptability and palatability of gilteritinib oral formulation as assessed by the participant using a single scale. The 5 point facial hedonic scale has high to low as: Liked it Very Much, Liked it a Little, Not sure, Disliked it a Little, Disliked it Very Much.
