Trial Information

Randomized Phase II Trial of Timed Sequential Therapy (TST) With Alvocidib (Flavopiridol), Ara-C and Mitoxantrone (FLAM) vs. "7+3" for Adults Age 70 and Under With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the rate of complete remission (CR) after 1 course of induction therapy with
the timed-sequential combination of alvocidib (flavopiridol), cytarabine (cytosine
arabinoside [ara-C]), and mitoxantrone hydrochloride (FLAM) vs traditional "7+3" cytarabine
and daunorubicin hydrochloride (ara-C + Daunorubicin) for adults (age 18 to 70) with newly
diagnosed, previously untreated, intermediate-risk or poor-risk acute myelogenous leukemia
(AML).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate and compare the toxicities of FLAM vs 7+3.To compare the 2-year disease-free
survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in response to FLAM vs 7+3.

II. To detect and compare the presence of minimal-residual disease (MRD) remaining after
FLAM vs 7+3.

III. To determine the expression of ABC transport proteins multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1,
ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) on AML blasts pretreatment and
correlate the expressions of one or both proteins with CR and DFS in response to FLAM vs
7+3.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to risk features:
age (< 50 vs ≥ 50), secondary AML (pre-existing MDS, MPD, t-AML, or severe multi-lineage
dysplasia) and/or known adverse cytogenetics, and hyperleukocytosis (WBC ≥ 50,000/mm³).
Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive alvocidib IV over 1 hour on days 1-3, cytarabine IV over 72 hours on
days 6-8, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 1-2 hours on day 9. Patients who achieve
complete or partial response to the first course (completion of all doses) may receive a
second course of treatment or high-dose cytarabine after 21-63 days following blood count
recovery, and/or undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

ARM II: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously on days 1-7 and daunorubicin
hydrochloride IV on days 1-3. Patients who have residual disease on day 14 may receive
additional cytarabine for 5 days and daunorubicin hydrochloride for 2 days. Patients may
undergo blood and bone marrow collection for correlative studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years,
every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually thereafter.


Inclusion Criteria:



- All adults with established, pathologically confirmed newly diagnosed acute myeloid
leukemia (AML)

- Adults (≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years of age) with newly diagnosed AML

- Excluding newly diagnosed core-binding factor (CBF) AML and acute
progranulocytic leukemia (APL, M3)

- CBF AML associated with t(8;21) or M4eo subtype (inv[16] or t[16;16]), as
diagnosed by morphologic criteria, flow cytometric characteristics, and
rapid cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or molecular
testing

- Newly diagnosed AML, subtypes M0, 1, 2, 4-7 but excluding M3 (APL), including those
with the following poor risk features:

- Antecedent hematologic disorder including myelodysplasia (MDS)-related AML
(MDS/AML) and prior myeloproliferative disorder (MPD)

- Treatment-related myeloid neoplasms (t-AML/t-MDS)

- Myeloid sarcoma, myeloid proliferations related to Down Syndrome, and blastic
plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm

- AML with multilineage dysplasia (AML-MLD)

- Adverse cytogenetics (defined as -5/-5q; -7/-7q; abnormal 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q,
or 17p; t(6;9); t(9;22); trisomy 8; trisomy 13; trisomy 21; and complex
karyotypes (≥ 3 unrelated abnormalities)

- No active CNS leukemia

- ECOG performance status (PS) 0-3

- Patients ≥ 65 years of age must have ECOG PS ≤ 2 prior to developing leukemic
symptoms

- Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

- ALT/AST ≤ 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless leukemic infiltration)

- Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (unless Gilbert disease, hemolysis, or leukemia)

- No active, uncontrolled infection

- Patients with infection under active treatment and controlled with antibiotics
are eligible

- No presence of other life-threatening illness

- No patients with mental deficits and/or psychiatric history that preclude them from
giving informed consent or from following protocol

- Not pregnant or nursing

- No active uncontrolled graft-vs-host disease following allogeneic transplantation for
non-AML condition (e.g., MDS, lymphoid malignancy, or aplastic anemia); patients with
GVHD controlled on stable doses of immunosuppressants are eligible

- Patients who have received hydroxyurea alone or have received non-cytotoxic therapies
previously for myelodysplasia (MDS) or myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) (e.g.,
thalidomide or lenalidomide, interferon, cytokines, 5-azacytidine or decitabine,
histone deacetylase inhibitors, low-dose cyclophosphamide [cytoxan], tyrosine kinase
[TK] or dual TK/src inhibitors) will be eligible for this trial

- At least 24 hours since prior leukopheresis or hydroxyurea for cytoreduction

- No prior alvocidib (flavopiridol)

- No other concomitant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy
