Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Biological: Donor Lymphocyte Infusion
Registration Number
NCT06158100
Lead Sponsor
Antonio M Jimenez Jimenez
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see the effects of an investigational combination treatment of venetoclax, azacitidine, and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) in patients with high-risk AML receiving allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, and to assess if the combination treatment is well tolerated and prevents disease relapse after transplant.

GroupInterventionDescription
VEN/AZA Dose Escalation/De-Escalation CohortDonor Lymphocyte InfusionParticipants in this group will begin Venetoclax and Azacitidine (VEN/AZA) combination therapy between day +42 and day +100 following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) infusion. VEN/AZA combination therapy will be administered for up to six (6) cycles, followed by up to six (6) additional cycles of Venetoclax monotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Each cycle is 28 days. Participants may also receive donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) at the discretion of the treating physician, if certain criteria are met. Participants will receive up to one year (12 cycles) of study therapy, followed by up to one year of follow-up. Total participation duration is up to two years.
VEN/AZA Expansion CohortDonor Lymphocyte InfusionParticipants in this group will receive VEN/AZA therapy at the most appropriate dose determined in Part 1. Participants may also receive donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) at the discretion of the treating physician, if certain criteria are met. Participants will receive up to one year (12 cycles) of study therapy, followed by up to one year of follow-up. Total participation duration is up to two years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)Up to 13 months

The RP2D of VEN/AZA therapy will be determined as the maximum tolerated dose of study treatment as assessed by treating physician using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Related ToxicityUp to 13 months

The number of participants experiencing treatment-related toxicity. Toxicity is defined as including dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events (AEs) in study participants after starting study therapy. Toxicity will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, per physician discretion.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)Up to 24 months

Recurrence-free survival (RFS) is defined as the elapsed time measured in months between the treatment start date (Cycle 1 Day 1) and date of documented disease recurrence or death from any cause. Alive patients without recurrence will be censored at the date of last documentation of recurrence-free status.

Overall Survival (OS)Up to 24 months

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the elapsed time measured in months between the treatment start date (Cycle 1 Day 1) and date of death from any cause. Alive patients will be censored at the date last known to be alive.

Proportion of Participants with Treatment-Related Mortality (TRM)180 days

Treatment-related Mortality (TRM) is defined as the proportion of participants that died after starting study therapy, during the time of observation and in the absence of disease progression.

Number of Participants with acute GVHD After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT)Up to 180 days

The number of participants with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) among study participants will be reported at +100 and +180 days post-allogeneic HCT.

Number of Participants with chronic GVHD After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT)1 year

The number of participants with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) among study participants will be reported at one (1) year post-allogeneic HCT.
