- Centre Leon Berard
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and the clinical activities of NP137 when combined with Azacitidine and Venetoclax in patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia after 2 cycles of Azacitidine and Venetoclax.
- Detailed Description
The dual treatment, VENETOCLAX and AZACITIDINE, is the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. However, upfront resistance as well as relapse following initial response demonstrate the need to improve this therapeutic strategy.

Best overall response (BOR) Every 28 days, up to 1 year Best overall response, is determined by the best response designation. For subjects without documented progression or subsequent anticancer therapy, all available response designations will contribute to the BOR determination :from the date of first intake of study drug until progression or at time of initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment
Treatment Failure Continuously, up to 1 year follow-up of the last patient enrolled Time to Treatment Failure Rate (TTF) defined as the time from the initiation of study treatment to its early discontinuation. Reasons for prematurely discontinuing treatment can include cancer progression but also adverse events, patient choice, or death.
Overall survival Until up to 1 year follow-up of the last patient enrolled Overall survival measured from the date of treatment start to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive.
Progression Free survival Every 28 days, up to 1 year follow-up of the last patient enrolled Progression Free survival defined as the time from the initiation of the study treatment until first evidence of disease treatment failure : from the date of first intake of study drug until progression
Death in Medullary Aplasia Every 28 days, up to 1 year follow-up of the last patient enrolled Death in Medullary Aplasia Rate based on cytological assessment: Deaths occurring ≥7 days following completion of initial treatment while cytopenic, with an aplastic or hypoplastic bone marrow obtained within 7 days of death, without evidence of persistent leukemia.
Neutrophil / platelet count recovery Continuously, up to 1 year follow-up of the last patient enrolled Time to neutrophil / platelet count recovery (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1 × 109/L (defined as neutrophil recovery) and platelet count \> 100 × 109/L (defined as platelet recovery)).
