Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

A study to investigate the effect of adding venetoclax to treatment with ivosidenib and azacitidine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a specific gene abnormality who have not previously been treated and who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

EU CTIS ID: 2024-512753-24-00

What this study is testing

To assess if treatment with venetoclax, in combination with ivosidenib and azacitidine, prolongs event-free survival (EFS) in adult patients with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

10. Men must agree to avoid to father a child (while on therapy and for 6 months after the final study drug administration).
11. Male patient must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.
12. Able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent form (ICF).
13. Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee-approved written informed consent as per national regulations must be obtained from the patient prior to any study-related procedures (including consent for withdrawal of prohibited medication, if applicable).
2. Central confirmation of IDH1 mutation in one of the dedicated central genetic laboratories.

You likely can't join if

1. Subject has previously been treated for AML; a treatment period with hydroxyurea to control WBC counts is allowed; prior treatment with a hypomethylating agent for MDS-EB is not allowed; prior treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents or luspatercept for MDS is allowed.
10. Immediate life-threatening, severe complications of leukemia such as uncontrolled bleeding and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation.
11. Conditions that limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of orally administered drugs.
12. Patient with a currently active second malignancy. However, patients with the following history/concurrent conditions are allowed: Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; Carcinoma in situ of the cervix; Carcinoma in situ of the breast; Incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer.
13. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the study inclusion.
14. Severe neurological or psychiatric disorder interfering with ability to give an informed consent.

Patients with COVID-19 infection can be enrolled, if the patient has no symptoms and was tested negative twice by PCR test prior to inclusion in the trial.
