Determine if early changes in sensitive echocardiographic measures of cardiac function (i.e., post-Induction 1 decline in GLS) and elevations in circulating cardiac biomarkers (i.e., cardiac troponin T and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide) are associated with subsequent declines in left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with non-FLT3 mutant AML receiving therapy on Arms A or B. 10. To compare longitudinal acute changes in neuropsychological functioning and neurocognitive late effects between those with CNS disease and those without CNS disease and between those treated with HSCT and those treated with chemotherapy only for patients on Arms A and B. 11. To compare cardiotoxicity measures (EF, GLS, and cardiac biomarkers) in patients receiving standard induction with dexrazoxane vs. CPX-351 in the context of gilteritinib therapy and explore whether the differential cardiotoxicity across arms varies from that observed in non-FLT3 mutant AML without gilteritinib exposure. 12. To estimate the EFS and rate of EOI1 MRD in patients with high allelic ratio (HAR) FLT3/ITD+ patients, as historically defined by an AR > 0.4, receiving gilteritinib in combination with DA-GO (Arm AC with AR > 0.4). 13. To estimate the EFS and rate of EOI1 MRD in FLT3/ITD+ patients (as defined by allelic ratio > 0.1) with NPM1 and/or bZIP CEBPA mutations receiving gilteritinib in combination with DA-GO (Arm AC). 14. Compare the changes in high sensitivity troponin and natriuretic peptide elevations throughout AML therapy, as measured at the end of each chemotherapy course, in patients with low and high risk AML without FLT3 mutations receiving Arm A vs Arm B

  • A Phase I Study Evaluating the Safety of Cirtuvivint as Monotherapy and in Combination with ASTX727 in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) - NCT06484062

    Primary Objectives: To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SM08502 (cirtuvivint) as monotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (Cohort I and II) and in combination with ASTX727 in frontline MDS (Cohort III). Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the safety/tolerability of SM08502 (cirtuvivint) as monotherapy in R/R AML and MDS (Cohort I and II) and in combination with ASTX727 in frontline MDS (Cohort III). 2. To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SM08502 (cirtuvivint) as monotherapy in R/R AML and MDS (Cohort I and II) and in combination with ASTX727 in frontline MDS (Cohort III). 3. To determine the preliminary efficacy of the combination of SM08502 (cirtuvivint) as monotherapy in R/R AML and MDS (Cohort I and II) and in combination with ASTX727 in frontline MDS (Cohort III) by assessing the response rate as defined by the 2022 European Leukemia Net (ELN) response criteria for AML (Döhner et al., 2022) and International Working Group (IWG) 2023 response criteria for MDS (Zeidan et al., 2023). 4. To explore survival outcomes achieved with SM08502 (cirtuvivint) as monotherapy in R/R AML and MDS (Cohort I and II) and in combination with ASTX727 in frontline MDS (Cohort III) by assessing 1 year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rate. 5. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. Although the clinical benefit of this drug has not yet been established, the intent of offering this treatment is to provide a possible therapeutic benefit, and thus the patient will be carefully monitored for tumor response and symptom relief in addition to safety and tolerability.

The initial diagnosis of AML is defined by the ELN 2022 criteria, and therefore patients with either AML (peripheral blood or bone marrow blasts ≥ 20% or blasts ≥ 10% with recurrent genetic abnormalities) or MDS/AML (peripheral blood or bone marrow blasts 10-19%) are eligible
    • Patients with MDS/AML (blasts 10-19%) who progress to AML (blasts ≥ 20%) after treatment will be considered relapsed or refractory MDS/AML, and not as newly-diagnosed AML (i.e. the patients' treatment history for eligibility purposes does not reset)
    • Relapsed MDS is defined as: (i) Intermediate, high, or very high-risk disease by International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) and, (ii) Any relapse after achieving any 2023 IWG MDS defined response
    • Refractory MDS is defined as: (i) Intermediate, high, or very high-risk disease by IPSS-R and > 5% blasts in the bone marrow or peripheral blood, (ii) Failure to achieve a response (as per IWG 2006 criteria) after ≥ 4 cycles of HMA monotherapy, or (iii) ≥ 2 cycles of HMA + venetoclax
    • In Cohort III, patients must have prior untreated high-risk MDS

    • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
    • Systemic anti-leukemic or other antineoplastic therapy within 14 days of first day of study treatment. Hydroxyurea may be continued through cycle 1 of treatment. Hydroxyurea is discouraged in subsequent cycles and should be discussed beforehand with principal investigator. If on venetoclax, then a wash-out period of at least five times the half-life of venetoclax is required. Exceptions: No wash-out required for intrathecal chemotherapy, hydroxyurea, cytarabine (Ara-C), or palliative radiation therapy to painful sites of leukemic disease. Patients are not allowed to receive concurrent therapy such as cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy for another cancer. Patients on hormonal adjuvant therapy for non-metastatic breast and prostate cancer or other minimally-myelosuppressive maintenance therapies for non-metastatic cancer may be eligible at the discretion of the study principal investigator (PI)
    • Patient is receiving known inhibitors or activators of flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO1 or FMO3), and these cannot be stopped at least 5 days prior to SM08502 (cirtuvivint) treatment start. Known inhibitors of FOMO are chlorpromazine and imipramine

    • While moderate inhibitors or moderate inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not an exclusion criteria for the trial, it is preferred that moderate inhibitors or moderate inducers of CYP3A4/5 be replaced prior to the first dose of SM08502 (cirtuvivint) and during study conduct where this is possible.
    • Moderate inhibitors include erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, verapamil, diltiazem, atazanavir, fluconazole, darunavir, delavirdine, amprenavir, fosamprenavir, aprepitant, imatinib, tofisopam, and cimetidine. Examples may be found at the FDA website. Refer to the prescribing information of concomitant medications if in doubt or consult the sponsor for guidance

Patients who had prior HCV that has been definitively treated with negative HCV viral load prior to study initiation and no evidence of cirrhosis, are allowed to participate. If there is no known history of HBV infection no HBV studies need to be obtained. If there is no known history of HCV infection, no HCV studies need to be obtained
    • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous
    • Pregnant and lactating women are excluded from this study because SM08502 (cirtuvivint) is a small molecule inhibitor of CLK DYRK with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with SM08502 (cirtuvivint), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with SM08502 (cirtuvivint). These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
    • Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia
    • Subject has symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) involvement with AML

  • A Randomized Phase II Study of Venetoclax and HMA-Based Therapies for the Treatment of Older and Unfit Adults with Newly Diagnosed FLT3-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia. - NCT06317649

    Primary Objectives: - To compare the achievement rate of MRDneg CR of either triplet regimen to azacitidine and venetoclax alone within 4 cycles of therapy. Secondary Objectives: - To compare the achievement rate of MRDneg CR/CRi/CRh of either triplet regimen to azacitidine and venetoclax alone within 4 cycles of therapy. - To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of gilteritinib, azaciditine, and venetoclax, if both of the triplet regimens show superiority to the azacitidine plus venetoclax regimen. - To determine the optimal sequence and duration of gilteritinib, when added to azacitidine and venetoclax if both of the triplet regimens show superiority to the azacitidine plus venetoclax regimen. - To estimate the rates of complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi), and complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), MLFS, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) of the combination of gilteritinib, azaciditine, and venetoclax versus azacitidine and venetoclax alone. Exploratory Objectives: - To establish the degree reduction in FLT3-ITD mutation burden after 2 and 4 cycles of therapy using a highly sensitive NGS MRD assay and compare the median reduction in the investigational regimens among patients with CR/CRi/CRh to that of control regimen. - To determine if the degree of FLT3 ITD reduction is associated with the duration of remission. - To monitor which mutations are present at the time of relapse. - To monitor which co-mutations at presentation are associated with lack of response to these regimens. - To determine if the FLT3 AR /VAF is associated with response to the regimens.
