About this study

In plain language

This study compares two doses of quizartinib as maintenance treatment to help keep leukemia in remission after chemotherapy. It is for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood cancer, with a gene change called FLT3-ITD. Their cancer must be in remission for the first time, and they must not have had a stem cell transplant from a donor.

This clinical two-arm trial is designed to evaluate two doses of quizartinib as maintenance therapy after induction/consolidation in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) who have not received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be at least 18, or the legal adult age where you live if it is higher. There is no upper age limit.
  • Have newly diagnosed AML, either starting on its own or developing from certain bone marrow diseases.
  • Have the FLT3-ITD gene change confirmed at diagnosis by a blood or bone marrow test, at the level required by the study.
  • Be in first complete remission, with no signs of active leukemia under the study rules. A bone marrow test must confirm this within 28 days before maintenance treatment starts.
  • Have recovered blood counts: infection-fighting cells above 1 billion per liter and platelets, which help blood clot, above 100 billion per liter.
  • Have had 1 or 2 rounds of treatment to reach remission and no more than 4 rounds of follow-up chemotherapy.
  • If you took an FLT3-blocking drug, stop it for 14 days before joining. Start maintenance within 60 days of the first day of your last follow-up chemotherapy round.
  • Be able to care for yourself and be out of bed or a chair for at least half of your waking hours.

Who can't join

  • Have acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or BCR-ABL-positive leukemia. People first treated for suspected APL may qualify if tests rule it out and ATRA treatment stops before chemotherapy.
  • Have AML caused by past chemotherapy or radiation for another cancer.
  • Have had other AML treatment beyond the allowed chemotherapy and certain treatments to control blood cells, prevent brain or spinal cord disease, or support blood cell growth.
  • Have had a stem cell transplant from a donor to treat AML.
  • Have recently taken certain drugs that speed up the liver enzyme CYP3A. The required waiting time is at least 2 weeks and may be longer.
  • Have certain heart rhythm problems, long QT syndrome or a family history of it, or a very slow heartbeat. Some people with pacemakers may qualify.
  • Have had a heart attack or uncontrolled heart-related chest pain within 6 months, severe heart failure, or low heart pumping strength.
  • Have very high blood pressure despite treatment, certain blocked electrical signals in the heart, or severe narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults ≥18 years of age or the minimum legal adult age (whichever is greater) on the day of signing the ICF (no upper limit of age). 2. Newly diagnosed, morphologically documented primary AML or AML secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome or a myeloproliferative neoplasm based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008/2016 classification. 3. Participant has confirmed FLT3-ITD-positive (≥0.05 SR or ≥5% VAF) activating mutation from initial diagnosis in bone marrow or peripheral blood as determined by a local institution's validated molecular testing. 4. Participants must have confirmed, morphologically documented CR1, on the most recent BMA, based on the local laboratory results, performed within 28 days prior to C1D1 of maintenance therapy. Complete remission will be defined as \<5% blasts in the bone marrow with no morphologic characteristics of acute leukemia (e.g., Auer Rods), no evidence of extramedullary disease, and no leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood. Complete blood count recovery is required with absolute neutrophil count of more than 1.000 × 109/L and platelets more than 100 × 109/L (IWG criteria).27 5. Participant must meet the following prior therapy requirements: 1. Has received at least one cycle of induction therapy but no more than two to achieve CR1. The induction cycles can be the same regimen or different regimens and may contain conventional agents only (e.g., cytarabine + daunorubicin or idarubicin: "7 + 3" or "5 + 2"), or a combination with FLT3 inhibitors. 2. Has not received more than four cycles of consolidation therapy. Regimens may contain conventional agents only. 3. FLT3 inhibitors are permitted as part of the induction or consolidation treatment. Participants who received FLT3 inhibitors before enrollment in the trial will need a washout period of 14 days. 6. Able to begin the maintenance phase within 60 days of D1 of the last consolidation cycle received. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS of 0 to 2. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), French-American-British classification M3 or WHO classification of APL with translocation, t(15;17)(q22;q12), or BCR-ABL positive leukemia (i.e., chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis); participants who undergo diagnostic workup for APL and treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), but who are found not to have APL, are eligible (treatment with ATRA must be discontinued before starting induction chemotherapy). 2. Diagnosis of AML secondary to prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for other neoplasms. 3. Prior treatment for AML, except for the following allowances: 1. Induction and consolidation therapy, as previously described (inclusion criterion #5) 2. Leukapheresis 3. Hydroxyurea to treat hyperleukocytosis 4. Cranial radiotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) leukostasis 5. Prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy 6. Growth factor/cytokine support 4. Participant had received allo-HSCT as part of AML treatment. 5. Treatment with any strong or moderate CYP3A inducers within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives of randomization whichever is longer 6. Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including the following: 1. QTcF interval \>450 ms (based on average of triplicate ECG at Screening) 2. Diagnosed or suspected congenital long QT syndrome or known family history of congenital long QT syndrome 3. History of clinically relevant ventricular arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or Torsade de Pointes 4. Participant has bradycardia of less than 50 beats per minute (bpm; as determined by central reading), unless the participant has a pacemaker 5. History of second- or third-degree heart block. Candidates with a history of heart block may be eligible if they currently have pacemakers and have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmia with pacemakers. 6. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening 7. Uncontrolled angina pectoris within 6 months prior to screening 8. New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4 congestive heart failure 9. LVEF ≤45% or institutional lower limit of normal 10. Uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg despite optimal medical management) 11. Complete left or right bundle branch block 12. Severe aortic stenosis
