The purpose of this study was to compare relapse-free survival (RFS) between participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) / internal tandem duplication (ITD) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) and who were randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo beginning after completion of induction/consolidation chemotherapy for a two-year period.
Details for the study
Brief Title
A Study of ASP2215 (Gilteritinib), Administered as Maintenance Therapy Following Induction/Consolidation Therapy for Subjects With FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3/ITD) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in First Complete Remission
Official Title
A Phase 2 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the FLT3 Inhibitor Gilteritinib (ASP2215) Administered as Maintenance Therapy Following Induction/Consolidation Therapy for Subjects With FLT3/ITD AML in First Complete Remission
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare relapse-free survival (RFS) between participants <br /> with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) / internal tandem duplication (ITD) acute myeloid <br /> leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) and who were randomized to receive <br /> gilteritinib or placebo beginning after completion of induction/consolidation chemotherapy <br /> for a two-year period.
Detailed Description
Participants in CR1 were approached for this study after induction/consolidation therapy was
complete and a decision not to proceed with transplantation was made or a suitable donor
could not be identified. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive gilteritinib
or placebo. Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of
treatment. Participants were administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles.
Gilteritinib or placebo was given daily for up to 2 years. After treatment discontinuation,
participants had a 30-day follow-up visit for safety, after which the participants entered
the long-term follow up period for collection of subsequent AML treatment, remission status,
and survival (cause of death and date of death). Final database lock will occur when last
subject last follow-up visit is reached, per protocol. Study drug was not provided during the
follow-up period.

Outcome Measures
Outcome measures are the tests that investigators perform to prove whether or not a treatment being tested in a clinical trial is having any effect.
Primary
Relapse-free Survival (RFS) Per Independent Review Committee (IRC) Adjudication
RFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Relapse after complete remission (CR) [including complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) and Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi)], was defined as bone marrow blasts 5% or higher (not attributable to regenerating bone marrow), any circulating blasts, any extra-medullary blast foci as per Revised International Working Group (IWG) criteria. Participants were classified as: CRi, if they fulfilled all the criteria for CR except for incomplete hematological recovery with residual neutropenia < 1 × 10^9/L with or without complete platelet recovery. RBC and platelet transfusion independence was not required. CRp, if they achieved CR except for incomplete platelet recovery (< 100 × 10^9/L). RFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. hazard ratio (HR), cox proportional hazards model (CHM)
Secondary
Number of Participants With Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) Score
ECOG performance status was measured on an 6 point scale. 0-Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction. Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work. Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours. Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours. Completely disabled. Cannot carry on any self-care. Totally confined to bed or chair. Dead. Number of participants with ECOG PS was reported. ECOG PS grades with zero participants were not reported.
Secondary
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)
AE:any untoward medical occurrence in participants administered study treatment (ST)/had undergone study procedures & did not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. Abnormalities was defined as AE only if met 1 of the criteria:Induced clinical signs/symptoms, required active intervention, required interruption or discontinuation of ST, abnormality or investigational value was clinically significant. Serious AE:resulted in death, was life threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, other medically important events. Treatment-emergent AE:recorded on treatment ≤ 30 days from last ST. Relapse: defined in Outcome Measure #1. Grades(Gr) based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI-CTCAE) (Gr 1=mild, Gr 2=moderate, Gr 3 =severe, Gr 4 =life threatening, Gr 5 =death).
Secondary
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
EFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of documented relapse or discontinuation of the treatment, or initiation of other anti-leukemic treatment or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Relapse after CR (including CRp and CRi), was defined as bone marrow blasts 5% or higher (not attributable to regenerating bone marrow), any circulating blasts, any extra-medullary blast foci as per Revised IWG criteria. Participants were classified as: CRi, if they fulfilled all the criteria for CR except for incomplete hematological recovery with residual neutropenia < 1 × 10^9/L with or without complete platelet recovery. RBC and platelet transfusion independence was not required. CRp, if they achieved CR except for incomplete platelet recovery (< 100 × 10^9/L). EFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier's method.
Secondary
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meiers method.
Secondary
Change From Baseline in Quantitative Minimal Residual Disease Measured as Log10-transformed Overall FLT3/ITD Mutation Ratio at Months 3, 6, 12, 24/End of Treatment (EoT)
MRD was measured from bone marrow samples. FLT3/ITD mutation ratio was measured in relation to total FLT3. For a participant with multiple ITD mutations, the overall FLT3/ITD mutation ratio was calculated from the sum of all ITD mutations. Absence of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) is defined as log10-transformed overall FLT3/ITD mutation ratio ≤ -4.
