Standard of Care +/- Midostaurin to Prevent Relapse Post Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With FLT3-ITD Mutated AML

Overview

To determine if the addition of midostaurin (PKC412) to Standard of Care (SOC) therapy reduces relapse in FLT3-ITD mutated AML patients receiving an allogenetic hematopoietic stem cell transplant,

Full Title of Study: “A Phase II, Randomized Trial of Standard of Care, With or Without Midostaruin to Prevent Relapse Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With FLT3-ITD Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Prevention
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: April 30, 2018

Interventions

  • Drug: Midostaurin
    • Midostaurin was supplied in 25mg soft gelatin capsule taken orally twice a day for 28 days of each cycle. Patients will be treated for 12 cycles.
  • Other: Standard of Care
    • Standard of Care was not defined per protocol. The investigator prescribed based on the commonly used medications given in the post SCT setting.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Standard of Care with Midostaurin
    • Patients received standard of care in the post stem cell transplant (SCT) setting in addition to Midostaurin 50mg twice a day for 12 months (cycles).
  • Active Comparator: Standard of Care
    • Patients received standard of care alone in the post SCT setting

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Proportion of Participants With Relapse Free Survival (RFS) up to 18 Months Post Transplant (Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: date of transplant up to 18 months
    • Relapse-free survival assesses the clinical benefit of remaining in remission free from relapse or death due to the disease. It was defined as the time from transplant to relapse or death due to the disease. Relapse following complete response was defined as reappearance of leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood or finding more than 5% blasts in the bone marrow.

Secondary Measures

  • Proportion of Participants With Relapse Free Survival (RFS) – Time From Randomization up to 18 Months (Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: Randomization to 18 months
    • Relapse-free survival assesses the clinical benefit of remaining in remission free from relapse or death due to the disease. It was defined as the time from transplant to relapse or death due to the disease. Relapse following complete response was defined as reappearance of leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood or finding more than 5% blasts in the bone marrow.
  • Proportion of Participants With Relapse Free Survival (RFS) – Time From Randomization up to 24 Months(Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: date of transplant up to 24 months
    • DFS was defined as the time from transplant to relapse or death due to any cause. If a patient had more than 1 event (e.g., relapse then death) then the earliest date was taken into account.
  • Proportion of Participants With Relapse Free Survival (RFS) – Time From Transplant (Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: date of transplant up to 24 months
    • Relapse-free survival was defined as the time from transplant to relapse or death due to the disease 24 months post-transplant. If a patient had more than one event (e.g., relapse then death) then the earliest date was taken into account.
  • Probability of Overall Survival – Date of Transplant up to 24 Months (Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: date of transplant up to 24 months
    • Overall survival was defined as the time from transplant to death due to any cause.
  • Probability of Non-relapse Mortality (NRM) – Date of Transplant up to 24 Months (Full Analysis Set) by Kaplan-Meier Analysis
    • Time Frame: date of transplant up to 24 months
    • Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was defined as the time from transplant to death due to reasons other than relapse/progressive disease
  • FLT3-ITD Mutation Status Centrally in Archived Material From Diagnosis (if Available) Including Mutant:Wild Type Ratio.
    • Time Frame: up to 24 months from date of transplannt or at study completion
    • Unable to retrieve a sufficient amount of archived samples to perform an analysis therefore the study was not able to verify the FLT3-ITD mutation status
  • Plasma Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Midostaurin and the Metabolites: CGP62221 and CGP52421: Pre-dose Levels
    • Time Frame: Pre-dose on days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1, on day 1 of Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
    • Pre-dose levels (Cmin) will be directly determined from raw plasma concentration-time data. Values below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) will be treated as zero in any calculations of summary statistics.
