Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Navtemadlin, to the Usual Treatments (Cytarabine and Idarubicin) in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the toxicities of navtemadlin (KRT-232 [AMG 232]), cytarabine and idarubicin hydrochloride (idarubicin), and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin when used in combination.

III. To evaluate p53 signaling induced by KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin.

IV. To correlate KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin exposure with pharmacodynamics endpoints (efficacy, toxicity, changes in p53 signaling).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the response rate (RR) and progression free survival (PFS) of KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

II. To evaluate potential predictive biomarkers, including MTF2 and H3K27me3, of response to KRT-232 (AMG 232), cytarabine and idarubicin in AML.

III. To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of KRT-232 and induction chemotherapy in AML blasts.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of navtemadlin.

Patients receive navtemadlin orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7, cytarabine intravenously (IV) twice daily (BID) over 3 hours on days 1-7, and idarubicin IV over 10-15 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with residual disease may receive cytarabine IV BID over 3 hours for 5 days and idarubicin IV over 10-15 minutes for 2 days starting between days 14-21 of cycle 1 or the second cycle of navtemadlin, cytarabine, and idarubicin. Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or a CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) in either cycle 1 or 2 may receive cytarabine IV BID over 3 hours on days 1, 3, and 5 for 3-4 additional 28 to 35-day cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months thereafter.
