- Registration Number
- NCT06084819
- Lead Sponsor
- Chinese PLA General Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen with BAT regimen in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
- Detailed Description
Despite advances in therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the past decades, some patients still suffer from relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease, resulting in poor outcomes. With a median overall survival (OS) of 4-7 months under classic chemotherapy approaches, it is imperative to explore new treatment options.Accumulating research has demonstrated the importance of epigenetic modification in the pathogenesis of chemoresistance. Recent studies have shown that combining venetoclax with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) such as azacitidine, or low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) improves the response and survival rates in R/R AML patients. To enhance the response rate, we designed a regimen that combines chidamide, azacitidine, cytarabine, aclarubicin, and G-CSF with venetoclax (CACAG+VEN regimen) for the treatment of patients with R/R AML. In this study, we intend to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with the CACAG regimen with Best-Available Therapy(BAT) regimen in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Group Intervention Description Venetoclax Combined With CACAG Regimen Azacytidine;Cytarabine;Aclacinomycin;Chidamide;Venetoclax;Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor Venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen for relapsed/refractory AML. Recipients were randomized and those entering the experimental group received azacytidine,cytarabine,aclacinomycin,chidamide,venetoclax and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Azacytidine was used as 75 mg/m2/day from day 1 to day 7.Cytarabine was used as 75-100 mg/m2 bid from day 1 to day 5. Aclacinomycin was used as 20 mg/day on days 1,3,5. Chidamide was used as 30 mg/day on days 1,4,8,11. Venetoclax was used as 400 mg/day from day 1 to day 14.Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was used as 300 ug/day from day 0 until agranulocytosi recovery. Best-Available Therapy(BAT) Regimen Best-Available Therapy(BAT) Regimen BAT regimen for relapsed/refractory AML.Recipients were randomized and those entering this group received FLAG/CLAG/MAE/DCAG/HAA/HAD regimen.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Response Rate (ORR) after 1 course of treatment 1 months after the start of study treatment Defined as the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of complete response (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), or partial response (PR).Biological characteristics exploratory studies were analyzed by single-cell sequencing and Atac-seq. Further, according to European LeukemiaNet risk group, we analyzed the outcomes of patients by molecular subtype as a sub-group analysis.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Complete Remission (CR) Rate after 2 courses of treatment After two courses of chemotherapy (each course is 28 days) Defined in accordance with the IWG Response Criteria in AML. Bone marrow blasts\<5 percent; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count \>1.0 x 109/L (1000/µL); platelet count \>100 x 109/L (100,000/µL); independence of red cell transfusions.
Treatment-related adverse events From the first dose of study treatment to 30 days after the discontinuation of treatment Defined as adverse events that occurred from the first dose of study treatment to 30 days after the discontinuation of treatment.
Complete Remission (CR) Rate after 1 course of treatment 2 months after study treatment Defined in accordance with the IWG Response Criteria in AML. Bone marrow blasts\<5 percent; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; absolute neutrophil count \>1.0 x 109/L (1000/µL); platelet count \>100 x 109/L (100,000/µL); independence of red cell transfusions.
Rate of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negative Response After two courses of chemotherapy (each course is 28 days) Percentage of participants who achieved MRD-negative response, defined as \< 1 leukemia cell per 10,000 leukocytes as assessed by flow cytometry.

Overall Survival (OS) 180 days after study treatment Defined as the time from joining the clinical study to death due to any cause.
Disease-free survival 180 days after study treatment Defined as the time interval from disease remission to the occurrence of relapse or death,whichever came first.
