Brief Summary

This phase I study hopes to explore how safe and tolerable is the combination of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) and midostaurin, with the standard induction therapy (cytarabine and daunorubicin) in patients with newly diagnosed FLT-3 mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). GO is FDA approved for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed CD33 positive AML and used in combination with chemotherapy, cytarabine and daunorubicin. Midostaurin is FDA approved for use with cytarabine and daunorubicin in patients with FLT3-mutated AML. By combining standard induction therapy with GO and midostaurin, our aim is to investigate a novel approach to treating patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) to the induction regimen of cytarabine and daunorubicin (DA) and midostaurin.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the frequency of early death associated with study treatment. II. To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the study treatment. III. To assess the safety profile of the study treatment.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Quantify CD33 expression on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts. II. Determine the CD33 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) status previously reported to correlate with response and correlate clinical outcomes of patients with the CD33 genotype.

OUTLINE: This is a dose finding study to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) schedule of GO, and its safety and tolerability in combination with midostaurin in FLT3-mutated newly diagnosed AML patients.

INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive cytarabine intravenously (IV) on days 1-7, daunorubicin IV on days 1-3 and midostaurin 50mg orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 8-21. Patients also receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV either on day or days 1 and 4 or days 1, 4 and 7 depending on dose level in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

RE-INDUCTION THERAPY: Between days 14 and 21 of Induction Therapy, patients who achieve at least 5% bone marrow blasts after an optional bone marrow biopsy may receive a single 28-day cycle of cytarabine and daunorubicin with or without midostaurin per the treating physician. Patients who achieve a complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) may undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) or receive consolidation therapy.

CONSOLIDATION THERAPY:

PATIENTS \< 60 YEARS: Patients receive high dose cytarabine (HiDAC) IV on days 1, 3, and 5 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV on day 1 of cycle 1 and midostaurin 50mg PO BID on days 8-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PATIENTS \>= 60 YEARS: Patients receive cytarabine (MiDAC) IV on days 1, 3, and 5 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV on day 1 of cycle 1 and midostaurin 50mg PO BID on days 8-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 24 months.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with cytarabine, daunorubicin, and midostaurin	42 days after start of last induction (i.e. induction or re-induction)	The MTD will be estimated using isotonic regression. An incidence of dose limiting toxicity at each dose level will be summarized.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Rate of complete composite remission (CCR)	At end of consolidation treatment (up to 120 days)	Complete composite remission is defined as meeting criteria for complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), or complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp). Will be measured and reported with 95% exact confidence intervals.
Duration of response	From date of first documented response (CR, CRi) to date of documented relapse, assessed up to 24 months	For only participants that achieve CR or CRi, the DoR is measured from the date of first documented response (CR, CRi) until the date of relapse. Participants not known to have relapsed at time of last follow-up will be censored on the date they were last examined (i.e., 2 years following completion of on-study therapy). The Kaplan-Meier method will be used. Mean and/or median survival and 95% confidence intervals will be reported, if available.
Incidence of 30-day treatment-related mortality	Up to 30 days after receiving initial induction therapy	Will be estimated with exact confidence intervals.
Objective response rate (ORR)	At end of consolidation treatment (up to 120 days)	ORR is defined as the sum of CR, CRi, Morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), and Partial remission (PR). Will be measured and reported with 95% exact confidence intervals.
Event free survival	From date of primary refractory disease, or relapse from complete response (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) , or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months	EFS will be measured from start of on-study therapy (i.e., Day 1) to the date of primary refractory disease, relapse from CR or CRi, or death from any cause. Participants not known to have failed induction therapy, relapsed, or died at time of last follow-up will be censored on the date they were last examined (i.e., 2 years following completion of on-study therapy). The Kaplan-Meier method will be used. Mean and/or median survival and 95% confidence intervals will be reported, if available.
Overall survival	From start of treatment until death, assessed up to 24 months	The Kaplan-Meier method will be used. Mean and/or median survival and 95% confidence intervals will be reported, if available.
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events	Up to 90 days after last dose of treatment	Will be tabulated and summarized by severity and major organ site according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Relapse-free survival	From date of first documented response (CR, CRi) to date of relapse or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months	For only participants that achieve CR or CRi, RFS will be measured from the date of first documented response (CR, CRi) to the date of relapse or death from any cause. Participants not known to have relapsed or died at time of last follow-up will be censored on the date they were last examined (i.e., 2 years following completion of on-study therapy).
