Study of Chemotherapy in Combination With All-trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) With or Without Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Mutant Nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) Gene Mutation

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Drug: Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg)
Drug: standard chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT00893399
Lead Sponsor
University of Ulm
Brief Summary

Randomized Phase-III, two-arm, open-label, multi-center study in adult patients with AML and NPM1 mutation.

Before Amendment No. 4 (December 2013):

Primary Efficacy Objective:

* Evaluation of efficacy based on event-free survival (EFS) after induction and consolidation chemotherapy plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and mutant nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1)

After Amendment No. 4 (December 2013):

Primary Efficacy Objective:

* Evaluation of efficacy based on overall survival (OS) after induction and consolidation chemotherapy plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and mutant nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1)

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients with confirmed diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification.

  • Presence of NPM1 mutation as assessed in one of the central AMLSG reference laboratories.

  • Age ≥ 18 years. There is no upper age limit.

  • No prior chemotherapy for leukemia except hydroxyurea to control hyperleukocytosis if needed for up to 5 days during the diagnostic screening phase.

  • Non-pregnant and non-nursing. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 72 hours prior to registration.

  • Female patients in the reproductive age and male patients must agree to avoid getting pregnant or to father a child while on therapy and within one year after the last dose of chemotherapy.

    • Women of child-bearing potential must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin two acceptable methods of birth control: one highly effective method (e.g., IUD, hormonal, tubal ligation, or partner's vasectomy), and one additional effective method (e.g., latex condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap).
    • "Women of childbearing potential" is defined as a sexually active mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months.
    • Men must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearing potential, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy.
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria
  • AML with other recurrent genetic changes (according to WHO 2008):

    • AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22); RUNX1-RUNX1T1
    • AML with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22); CBFB-MYH11
    • AML with t(15;17)(q22;q12); PML-RARA (or other translocations involving RARA)
    • AML with t(9;11)(p22;q23); MLLT3-MLL (or other translocations involving MLL)
    • AML with t(6;9)(p23;q34); DEK-NUP214
    • AML with inv(3)(q21q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21;q26.2); RPN1-EVI1.
  • Performance status WHO > 2.

  • Patients with ejection fraction < 50% by MUGA or ECHO scan within 14 days of day 1.

  • Organ insufficiency:

    • creatinine > 1.5x upper normal serum level
    • bilirubin, AST or ALP > 2.5x upper normal serum level, not attributable to AML
    • heart failure NYHA III/IV
    • severe obstructive or restrictive ventilation disorder.
  • Uncontrolled infection.

  • Severe neurological or psychiatric disorder interfering with ability of giving an informed consent.

  • Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse within one year.

  • Known positive for HIV, active HBV, HCV, or Hepatitis A infection.

  • Bleeding disorder independent of leukemia.

  • No consent for registration, storage and processing of the individual disease-characteristics and course as well as information of the family physician about study participation.
