Brief Summary

The detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the clinical activity of most chemotherapies in cancers remain incompletely understood. Understanding how these drugs really act is a prerequisite for their rational therapeutic optimization. Recent observations suggest that early molecular and cellular changes in cancer cells upon chemotherapy exposure may dictate their long-term fate. We aim to address this question in previously untreated adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients treated with anthracycline/cytarabine association (either as free drugs, '7+3' regimen, or in liposomal formulation, CPX-351) by sequentially sampling peripheral blood during the first course of therapy, and by performing an early bone marrow reassessment. We will apply single cell RNA sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry to correlate dynamic phenotypic landscapes with clinical outcomes (remission achievement and relapse-free survival). The study will be carried in two phases. First, a feasibility phase will be carried in the first 20 patients irrespective of the genetic make-up of their leukemic cells to identify the optimal pre-analytical conditions for single-cell transcriptional profiling. Second, an expansion phase will be carried focusing on two genetically subsets of patients chosen on the basis of their relative abundance and variability of clinical outcome, namely NPM1c-mutated AML (30% of patients, 60% cure rate) and NPM1-wildtype intermediate-risk AML (25% of patients, 40% cure rate), to correlate single-cell fates with remission and with long-term remission-free survival.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Successful single-cell RNA-Seq (sc-RNA-Seq) assesment

  Successful sc-RNA-Seq assessment is defined as the detection of \> 1000 cells representing \> 50% of the total number of viable loaded cells, with \> 1000 reads per cell

  up to 8 days

• Complete Remission (CR) without MRD

  End of induction (day 28 to day 56)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Event-Free Survival

  at 5 years

• Cumulative Incidence of Relapse

  at 5 years

• Overall Survival

  at 5 years

Study Arms (1)

Standard of Care in patients with AML

Standard of Care including a first course containing one of the following backbones without addition of third agent before day 8 of induction (approved drugs such as midostaurine or investigational agents administered beyond day 8 are allowed) : * 7+3 induction 3+7 with daunorubicin (or idarubicin) and cytarabine * CPX-351 induction

Other: Biobanking blood and bone marrow specimens

Interventions

Biobanking blood and bone marrow specimens OTHER

Interventions, procedures added for research purposes : Blood Samples : * Peripheral blood (20mL EDTA) (at Screening, pre-ICT Day 1, Day1 H8, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day of EOI evaluation Bone Marrow samples : * Biopsy at Screening and at EOI Evaluation * Additional volume (2mL EDTA) on the Screening,2 and EOI Evaluation aspirations for single-cell analyses. * Aspiration at D8 for Smears and 2 mL EDTA for single-cell analyses (instead of D15 standard care).
