Vadastuximab Talirine (SGN-CD33A; 33A) Combined With Azacitidine or Decitabine in Older Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02785900
Lead Sponsor
Seagen Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study in AML patients is to test whether vadastuximab talirine (SGN-CD33A; 33A) combined with either azacitidine or decitabine improves remission rates and extends overall survival as compared to placebo combined with either azacitidine or decitabine.

Detailed Description

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs), such as decitabine or azacitidine, are considered a standard treatment for older patients with AML. The primary goals of this study are to test whether patients treated with an HMA (either decitabine or azacitidine) in combination with 33A will have better anti-tumor activity and/or survive longer than patients treated with an HMA in combination with placebo.

Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: 1) 33A plus HMA (Experimental Arm); or 2) placebo plus HMA (Comparator Arm). In addition to evaluating survival and remission rates, the minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative remission rate, duration of remission, event free- and leukemia-free survival, and safety and tolerability will be compared between arms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalUp to 1.5 years

Time from randomization to death due to any cause

Composite Complete Remission (CRc) RateUp to 1.5 years

Number of patients who achieved complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) according to the modified response criteria for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) per Cheson 2003.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negative Composite Complete Remission RateUp to 1.5 years

Number of patients who achieve both remission (CR or CRi) and MRD-negative status

Event-free SurvivalUp to approximately 11.24 months

Event-free survival is calculated from the time of randomization to the first documentation of progression, relapse, or death, whichever comes first. Patients who do not have event (progression, relapse, or death) prior to analysis cutoff date are censored at the date of last response assessment. Patients who started another anticancer therapy before progression, relapse, or death are censored at the date of last response assessment prior to the start of new therapy. Patients who do not have response assessment post-baseline are censored at the date of randomization.

Duration of RemissionUp to approximately 9.5 months

Duration of remission is calculated from the first documentation of CR or CRi to the first documentation of disease relapse or death, whichever comes first. Patients who are in remission at the time of analysis cutoff are censored at the date of last response assessment. Patients who started another anticancer therapy before relapse or death are censored at the date of last response assessment prior to start of new therapy.

Leukemia-free SurvivalUp to approximately 9.49 months

Leukemia-free survival is calculated from the first documentation of blast clearance (CR, CRi, mLFS) to the first documentation of disease relapse or death, whichever comes first. Patients who are in remission at the time of analysis cutoff are censored at the date of last response assessment. Patients who started another anticancer therapy before relapse or death are censored at the date of last response assessment prior to start of new therapy.

Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Laboratory AbnormalitiesUp to 1.5 years

Participants who experienced a laboratory grade increase to Grade 3 or higher (per National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI CTCAE\], v4.03)

Time to Complete RemissionUp to 1.5 years

Time to CR or CRi is the time from randomization to the first documentation of CR/CRi

Type, Incidence, Severity, Seriousness, and Relatedness of Adverse EventsUp to 1.5 years

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are presented and defined as newly occurring (not present at baseline) or worsening after first dose of investigational product. SAE = serious adverse event. "Study treatment" in this data set refers to blinded study treatment.

Mortality Rates at Day 30 and Day 60Up to 60 days

30- and 60-day survival from date of randomization. Estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.
