Brief Summary

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help more patients with the IDH2 gene get rid of AML. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Enasidenib works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells that have the IDH2 mutation. Giving ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib may work better in treating AML patients with the IDH2 mutation.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety of cedazuridine (ASTX727) + venetoclax + enasidenib (Arm 2) before initiating randomization.

II. To compare the rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission (CR) based on multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) after two cycles of treatment in older adults (or unfit adults age 18 or older) with IDH2 mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who receive ASTX727, venetoclax, and enasidenib versus ASTX727 and venetoclax alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the composite remission rate (CR + complete remission with incomplete count recovery \[CRi\] + complete remission with partial hematologic recovery \[CRh\]), relapse-free survival (RFS), event-free survival (EFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) of participants by treatment arm.

II. To estimate IDH2 mutated variant allele frequency, flow cytometry MRD, and molecular MRD after two cycles of therapy in participants' bone marrow aspirates and blood by treatment arm.

III. To estimate remission rates (CR with and without MRD \[MFC and molecular MRD\], CRh and CRi), and to estimate the rates of hematologic improvement by treatment arm.

IV. To estimate the frequency and severity of adverse events by treatment arm. V. To evaluate the association between MFC and molecular MRD after two cycles of protocol treatment with the outcomes RFS and OS (landmarked by date of MRD measurement) by treatment arm.

BANKING OBJECTIVES:

I. To bank specimens for future correlative studies.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM 1: Patients receive ASTX727 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 and venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM 2: Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD on days 1-5, venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28, and enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

All patients undergo blood sample collection, bone marrow aspiration, and bone marrow biopsy throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every month for the first year, every 2 months for the second year, every 3 months for the third year, and every 6 months until 5 years after registration or death.

In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes refraining from sexual activity that might result in pregnancy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, and vasectomy with testing showing no sperm in the semen

  • Participants must be able to swallow and retain oral medications and have no known gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of oral medications

  • Participants must have agreed to have specimens submitted for translational medicine for MRD under MYELOMATCH and specimens must be submitted

    • In addition to the MYELOMATCH specimens, there will be specimens obtained on treatment for this substudy. These specimens will be derived from procedures performed as part of standard assessments in the clinical care and management of AML with material being sent to the MDNet laboratories as specified. After performing the required tests on the specimens, the MDNet laboratories will send the residual material for biobanking and future research. Therefore, participants must be asked for their consent for the biobanking of specimens for future unspecified research. Participants may refuse this, but it is mandatory for sites to ask participants
  • Participants must be offered the opportunity to participate in specimen banking

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Minimal residual disease negative (MRDneg) complete remission (CR) rateBaseline to 5 years

A randomized design will be used to compare binary endpoints in two arms with a single interim futility analysis. For the final analysis, a 2-sample proportion z-test will be used to compare the MRDneg-CR rates between arms with a two-sided alpha of 20%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relapse-free survival (RFS)Baseline to 5 years

Survival endpoints will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between arms using the log-rank test. Landmark survival endpoints after 2- and 4-cycles of therapy will be estimated using the Kapan-Meier method. Time-dependent Cox regression models with response as a time-dependent covariate will be fit. Landmark Kaplan-Meier plots will be used describe marker associations with overall survival (OS) and RFS. Landmark and time-dependent Cox regression models will be fit with marker values as covariates. If endpoints subject to competing risks are analyzed, non-parametric cumulative incidence rates will be calculated, and associations will be evaluated using cause-specific hazard models

Event-free survivalBaseline to 5 years
