NCT01349972

Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial is studying how alvocidib, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work compared to cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Alvocidib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, and daunorubicin hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving alvocidib, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride is more effective than giving cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete Response Rate

    Bone marrow showing less than 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines, an ANC of at least 1000/cu mm and a platelet count of 100,000/cu mm, absence of blast in peripheral blood, absence of identifiable leukemic cells in the bone marrow, clearance of disease-associated cytogenetic abnormalities, and clearance of any previously existing extramedullary disease. These criteria are taken from Dohner H, Estey EH, Amadori S, et al. Diagnosis and management of acute myeloid leukemia in adults: recommendations from an international expert panel, on behalf of the European LeukemiaNet. Blood 2010;115:453-474

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Incidence of Toxicities, Characterized by Number of Events by Treatment and Grade

    Up to 14 days after completion of study treatment

  • Disease-free Survival

    Time from randomization until death from any cause or relapse or recurrence, assessed up to 2 years

  • Overall Survival

    4 years

  • Number of Patients With Minimal Residual Disease

    From study start to 14 days after the start of treatment

  • Progression-free Survival

    4 years

Study Arms (2)

Arm I (alvocidib, cytarabine, mitoxantrone hydrochloride)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive alvocidib IV over 1 hour on days 1-3, cytarabine IV over 72 hours on days 6-8, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 1-2 hours on day 9. Patients who achieve complete or partial response to the first course (completion of all doses) may receive a second course of treatment or high-dose cytarabine after 21-63 days following blood count recovery, and/or undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

Drug: alvocidibDrug: mitoxantrone hydrochlorideDrug: cytarabine

Arm II (cytarabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously on days 1-7 and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1-3. Patients who have residual disease on day 14 may receive additional cytarabine for 5 days and daunorubicin hydrochloride for 2 days.

Drug: daunorubicin hydrochlorideDrug: cytarabine
