Authorised Phase II and Phase III (Integrated) Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A phase 2/3, multi-center, study of L-Annamycin in combination with cytarabine vs. placebo in combination with cytarabine as second line therapy in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed AML

EU CTIS ID: 2024-518359-47-00

What this study is testing

Part A: To identify the optimal dosage regimen of L-Annamycin for Injection (190 versus 230 mg/m2/day) in combination with Cytarabine Injection (2.0 g/m2/day) as second line therapy for remission induction in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as measured by rate of complete remission (CR) after one treatment cycle. Part B: To confirm the superior efficacy of the optimal dosage regimen of L-Annamycin for Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection (determined in Part A) versus placebo in combination with Cytarabine Injection as second line therapy for remission induction in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed AML as measured by rate of CR after one treatment cycle.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Has a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AML per the 2022 International Consensus Classification (ICC) (Arber et al. 2022) as adopted in the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2022 recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AML (Döhner et al. 2022). The tests and procedures used to establish the diagnosis of AML should be consistent with the ELN’s 2022 recommendations (i.e., Döhner et al. 2022 Table 4 and crossreferenced Table 5)
  • 10. For women of childbearing potential (WCBP): Must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the first randomized dose of study drug.
  • 11. For WCBP: Must agree to not donate ova and use a highly effective method of birth control from the time of informed consent through 6 months after their last randomized dose of study drug.
  • 12. For males with partners who are WCBP: Must agree to not donate sperm and use a highly effective method of birth control from the time of informed consent through 6 months after their last randomized dose of study drug.
  • 2. Has refractory/relapsed AML after having received only one prior line of therapy, as defined by the protocol
  • 3. Between 18 and 80 years of age (inclusive) at the time of signing the ICF

You likely can't join if

  • 1. Has prior or current diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or MDS/AML (as defined in Döhner et al. 2022 Table 1).
  • 7. Has any condition that, in the opinion of the PI, places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study
  • 8. Has received prior treatment with L-asparaginase
  • 11. Has received a total cumulative prior anthracycline dose of > 300 mg/m2 (daunorubicin equivalent dose).
  • 9. Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • 12. Has relapsed or refractory AML with a FLT3 mutation, unless resides in a country where gilteritinib is not available

Treatment of opportunistic or other infections with antibiotics, antifungals, and/or antiviral agents, including therapy for meningeal disease (i.e., intrathecal chemotherapy), per institutional standards of care will be allowed during this period, as long as the symptoms of infection have resolved by 1 week prior to the first dose of randomized study drug

  • 7. Has a life expectancy of greater than six weeks at screening
  • 8. Has adequate laboratory results at screening, as per protocol
