Group Intervention Description LDE225-800 LDE225 Patients who were randomized to Schedule B, received 800 mg LDE225 once daily until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, discretion of the investigator or early termination of the study. LDE225-400 LDE225 Patients who were randomized to Schedule A, and received 400 mg LDE225 twice daily for the first two weeks only and then after two weeks, received 800 mg LDE225 once daily until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, discretion of the investigator or early termination of the study.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of Complete Remission (CR) at screening, every week up to Week 9, every 2 weeks thereafter until CR, every 4 weeks after CR up to 24 months Complete Response (CR) was based on the International Working Group (IWG) criteria based on weekly peripheral blood count measurements and bone marrow biopsy/aspiration collection. Efficacy assessments were performed to determine CR. A treatment cycle was defined as 4 weeks. The outcome measure for the study is based on standardized response criteria as defined by the International Working Group (IWG) for AML. The IWG was established by a group of investigators interested in the design and conduct of clinical trials in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The criteria established by this group (a set of recommendations for response assessment) are well established, endorsed by major institutions and Health Authorities, and are widely used in clinical trials. No statistical analysis was planned for this primary outcome.
Complete Remission With Incomplete Blood Count Recovery (CRi) within 3 days after clearance of blasts from peripheral blood (PB), monthly thereafter until CR or reappearance of blasts in the PB, after CR every other month until discontination up to 24 months The other primary efficacy endpoint was CRi based on the International Working Group (IWG) criteria based on weekly peripheral blood count measurements and bone marrow biopsy/aspiration collection. Efficacy assessments were performed to determine CRi. A treatment cycle was defined as 4 weeks. No statistical analysis was planned for this primary outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Response Rate (ORR) Every 8 weeks for the first 6 months and every 12 weeks until 53 weeks after the last patient is enrolled or until relapse up to 24 months ORR was the rate of complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) or partial response (PR) according to IWG criteria. CR, CRi or PR will be assessed through bone marrow biopsy/aspirate and peripheral blood blasts counts.
Parmacokintics (PK) Parameter: Cmax Week 1 Day 1, Week 9 Day 1 Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration after drug administration.The PK parameters were determined in plasma using non-compartmental methods. A PK sample was excluded from analyses if the patient vomited within the first 4 hours following the last oral dose of study drug. Other PK samples were excluded as deemed appropriate by the pharmacokineticist. Cmax was derived from the PK concentrations collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on W1D1 and W9D1. The PK concentration at each time point is not an endpoint in the protocol, but these concentrations are used to derive the PK parameters.
Parmacokintics (PK) Parameter: Tmax Week 1 Day 1,Week 9 Day 1 Tmax is the time to reach Cmax. The PK parameters were determined in plasma using non-compartmental methods. A PK sample was excluded from analyses if the patient vomited within the first 4 hours following the last oral dose of study drug. Other PK samples were excluded as deemed appropriate by the Pharmacokineticist. Tmax was derived from the PK concentrations collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on W1D1 and W9D1. The PK concentration at each time point is not an endpoint in the protocol, but these concentrations are used to derive the PK parameters.
Parmacokintics (PK) Parameter: AUC0-8h Week 1 Day 1,Week 9 Day 1 AUC0-8h is the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 8 hours. The PK parameters were determined in plasma using non-compartmental methods. A PK sample was excluded from analyses if the patient vomited within the first 4 hours following the last oral dose of study drug. Other PK samples were excluded as deemed appropriate by the Pharmacokineticist. AUC0-8h was derived from the PK concentrations collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on W1D1 and W9D1. The PK concentration at each time point is not an endpoint in the protocol, but these concentrations are used to derive the PK parameters.
Parmacokintics (PK) Parameter: AUC0-24h Week 1 Day 1,Week 9 Day 1 AUC0-24 is the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours done only on 800 mg once a day schedule. The PK parameters were determined in plasma using non-compartmental methods. A PK sample was excluded from analyses if the patient vomited within the first 4 hours following the last oral dose of study drug. Other PK samples were excluded as deemed appropriate by the Pharmacokineticist. AUC0-24h was derived from the PK concentrations collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on W1D1 and W9D1. The PK concentration at each time point is not an endpoint in the protocol, but these concentrations are used to derive the PK parameters.
