简要总结
This protocol is a multicenter, national, open-label, single-arm, non-controlled study designed to establish the efficacy (in terms of response and survival) and safety of panobinostat in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine and in monotherapy in patients with newly-diagnosed AML aged 65 years or older.
详细描述
A phase Ib will be initially performed to establish the MTD of panobinostat that can be administered in combination with the classic regimen of idarubicin and cytarabine in patients aged 65 years or older. This MTD will be established in the induction cycle. For this purpose, the first patients enrolled in the trial will be successively distributed into three cohorts of patients for each dose level of panobinostat (20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg) in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine, according to the classical 3+3 schedule (vid section 5.2). In case of an unacceptable toxicity in the first dose step (20 mg), a dose reduction to a -1 step will be considered (10 mg). Patients included in the phase Ib part of the study will continue throughout the treatment with the starting dose of panobinostat corresponding to the step to which they were initially assigned (except for those patients receiving a dose higher than the MTD which will be deescalated to the MTD). 9 additional patients will be included at the MTD dose level to confirm the safety of this dose.
Once the MTD of panobinostat is determined, during the phase II of the study, up to a total of 46 patients will be recruited (40 of them at the MTD dose) and the scheduled assessments and visits will be carried out in three periods: Pre-treatment, Treatment, and Follow-up.
The pre-treatment period includes the screening visit where the written informed consent for participating in the study is obtained. Then, during the screening visit that is completed 14 days before the baseline visit (Days -14 to -1), patients are assessed for eligibility. The patients eligible for inclusion in the study will start the treatment period where they will receive two or three cycles of cytarabine and idarubicin in combination with panobinostat (induction and consolidation, or induction, re-induction and consolidation) followed by treatment with panobinostat as monotherapy (vid. schema in appendix 4). The induction cycle will comprise of cytarabine 100 mg/m2 (Day 1 to 7) and idarubicin 8 mg/m2 (Days 1 to 3) followed by panobinostat administered three times a week for three weeks (Days 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26) (Table 4 ). The patients will be assessed by bone marrow aspiration on day +14 and at the moment of the recovery from aplasia.
If the patient experiences an unsatisfactory response, i.e. partial remission or resistant disease after the first cycle, a second induction cycle, identical to the first one (re-induction cycle), will be administered not sooner than seven days after receiving the last dose of panobinostat (in the induction cycle).
If the patient reaches a complete morphological remission (or CRi) after the induction or the re-induction cycles, then, in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, a consolidation cycle, identical to the induction cycle, will be administered once recovered from aplasia and always leaving the seven days of Panobinostat treatment free interval. If a patient does not reach a CR or CRi after the re-induction, she/he will be removed from the protocol.

- •The patient should have voluntarily give the informed consent before performing any study test that is not part of the regular care of the patients.
- •Age > 65 years.
- •The patient should be diagnosed with AML according to the standard criteria of the World Health Organisation (WHO) (see Appendix 8).
- •The patient should not have received any prior treatment for AML.
- •The patient should have a performance status measured by the ECOG scale <= 2 .
- •The patient should have the following laboratory values prior to the start of the treatment:
- •Aspartate transaminase (AST): ≤ 2.5 x the upper normal ranges.
