EU CTIS ID: 2024-510648-29-00

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- A patient will be eligible for study participation if he/she meets the following criteria within 30 days prior to the first day of therapy (bone marrow biopsy can be performed 30 days prior to the first day of therapy). Historical records are permitted per investigator discretion.
- Patients must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any research directed screening procedures.
- Patients must have confirmation of with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with persistent measurable residual disease (MRD) or MRD reappearance after frontline intensive chemotherapy (including at least one cycle of cytarabine and anthracycline), and prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). a. In patients with NPM1 mutation, qRT-PCR of NPM1 will be the method used to establish a molecular failure, defined as failure to achieve molecular response after consolidation therapy (NPM1mut/ABL1·100 > 0.01) or MRD reappearance after molecular response. All cases of molecular failure must be confirmed with a second MRD assessment in 2 to 4 weeks. b. In patients with core-binding factor AML, qRT-BCR of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and CBFb-MYH11 transcripts will be used. Patients failing to achieve a major MRD reduction after consolidation therapy (i.e., RUNX1-RUNX1T1/ABL1·100>0.1 or CBFb-MYH11/ABL1·100>0.1), a log increase in MRD between two positive samples or confirmed MRD CETLAM-LMA-AC-2024-01- Protocol Version - 1.0 17JUL2023 Page 14/103 VERDI reappearance after molecular response will be considered as molecular failures and could be included in the trial. c. In the remaining cases, an appropriate leukemia-associated immunophenotype (LAIP) measured by multiparameter flow cytometry will be used for MRD surveillance. A cutoff of 0.1% will be used to define MRD positivity.
- Age ≥18 years.
- Without clinical signs of active central nervous system disease.
- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of ≤2 or Karnosky performance status (KPS) equivalent (Appendix
You likely can't join if
- Patient has received other prior rescue treatment for MRD.
- Patient has a history of other malignancies within the prior year to study entry, except for: a. Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the breast or cervix uteri. b. Basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. c. Prostate cancer with no plans for therapy of any kind. d. Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding females.
- Patient is known to be positive for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). infection with the exception of those with an undetectable viral load under correct virological control throughout the study
- Patient is known to be positive for hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) infection with the exception of those with an undetectable viral load. CETLAM-LMA-AC-2024-01- Protocol Version - 1.0 17JUL2023 Page 15/103 VERDI Note: Hepatitis B or C testing is not required and patients with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e., HBsAg-, anti-HBs+ and anti-HBc-) may participate.
- El paciente tiene afectación activa conocida del sistema nervioso central (SNC) por leucemia mieloide aguda.
