Selinexor With Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02573363
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of selinexor when give together with standard chemotherapy, high dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving selinexor together with standard chemotherapy may be a better treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

selinexor, cytarabine, and mitoxantroneCytarabineINDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride per standard of care on days 1 and 5, and selinexor PO on days 2, 4, 9, and 11. CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine per standard of care on days 1, 3, and 5, and selinexor PO on days 2, 4, 9, and 11. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients achieving at least stable disease after consolidation chemotherapy may receive selinexor PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 at the discretion of principal investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MTD of selinexor based on the dose-limiting toxicity graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0356 days
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of non-relapse mortalityUp to 1 year
Progression-free survival (PFS) ratesDate induction chemotherapy to the date of disease relapse or death, assessed up to 1 year

PFS will be estimated based on the 50th percentile of the Kaplan-Meier distribution; additional summary statistics will be presented, including the 25th and 75th percentiles, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the median and other percentiles, and proportion of censored data. Kaplan-Meier survival rates will also be calculated.

Allo-SCT success rateAfter completion of induction therapy (6 months to a year)
Incidence of adverse events graded according to NCI CTCAE version 4.03Up to 30 days post-treatment
Overall survival (OS) ratesDate induction chemotherapy to the date of disease relapse or death, assessed up to 1 year

The median duration of OS will be estimated based on the 50th percentile of the Kaplan-Meier distribution; additional summary statistics will be presented, including the 25th and 75th percentiles, 95% CIs on the median and other percentiles, and proportion of censored data. Kaplan-Meier survival rates will also be calculated.
