Comparing the Efficacy of LDA, LHAA, and LA Regimens in Young Adults With Intermediate- and High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia Eligible for Intensive Chemotherapy

This is a phase II/III, multicenter, randomized, three-arm, open-label, parallel controlled trial. The primary objective of this study is to compare the 2-years OS rate of the LDA, LHAA, and LA regimens in newly diagnosed patients with intermediate- and high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Treatment and study plan

Lisaftoclax+daunorubicin+cytarabine

Drug

Lisaftoclax (200 mg on D2, 400 mg on D3, and 600 mg qd on D4-8, orally) + daunorubicin (60 mg/m², iv, qd, D1-3) + cytarabine (100 mg/m², q12h, subcutaneous injection or iv infusion, D1-7).

Other names: Induction chemotherapy

Lisaftoclax+homoharringtonine+cytarabine+aclarubicin

Drug

Lisaftoclax (200 mg on D2, 400 mg on D3, and 600 mg qd on D4-8, orally) + homoharringtonine (2 mg/m², qd, intramuscular injection or iv infusion, D1-5) + cytarabine (100 mg/m², q12h, subcutaneous injection or iv infusion, D1-5) + aclarubicin (12 mg/m², maximum 20 mg, iv, D1-5).

Other names: Induction chemotherapy

Lisaftoclax+azacitidine

Drug

Lisaftoclax (200 mg, orally, D1; 400 mg, orally, D2; 600 mg, orally, qd, D3-28) + azacitidine (75 mg/m², D1-7)

Other names: Induction chemotherapy

Lisaftoclax+ cytarabine

Drug

Lisaftoclax (600 mg, orally, D1-7) + intermediate-dose cytarabine (2 g/m², q12h, D1-3) for 3 cycles

Other names: Consolidation treatment

Lisaftoclax+azacitidine or azacitidine

Drug

Post-transplant maintenance therapy: patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either combination therapy or azacitidine monotherapy. The combination regimen consisted of lisaftoclax (400 mg, orally, D1-7) in combination with azacitidine (50 mg/m², D1-7) for up to 1 year or 10 cycles, whichever occurred first. Azacitidine monotherapy consisted of azacitidine (50 mg/m², D1-7) for up to 1 year or 10 cycles, whichever occurred first. Non-transplant maintenance therapy: lisaftoclax (400 mg, orally, D1-7) in combination with azacitidine (50 mg/m², D1-7) for up to 1 year or 10 cycles, whichever occurred first.

Other names: Maintenance treatment

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year overall survival rate (OS)

    Time frame: from randomization up to 2 years

    defined as the proportion of patients who were still alive from the time of randomization for the last patient until 24 months later

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete Response (CR) rate after 1/2 treatment cycles

    Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 of induction chemotherapy (each cycle is 28 days)

    defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) after the first or second cycle of induction chemotherapy.

  2. Composite Complete Response (CRc) rate after 1/2 treatment cycles

    Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 of induction chemotherapy (each cycle is 28 days)

    defined as the proportion of patients achieving CRc after the first or second cycle of induction chemotherapy.

  3. Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate after 1-2 cycles of induction chemotherapy

    Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 of induction chemotherapy (each cycle is 28 days)

    defined as the the proportion of patients with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) among patients who achieve complete remission after 1-2 cycles of induction chemotherapy

  4. 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rate

    Time frame: from randomization up to 2 years after randomization

    defined as the proportion of patients remaining free of treatment failure, hematologic relapse, MRD relapse, or death within 2 years after randomization.

  5. 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rate

    Time frame: from the date of complete remission (CR/CRi) up to 2 years after achieving response

    defined as the proportion of patients who achieved complete response (CR) or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) and remained alive without disease relapse within 2 years after achieving response.

  6. Safety and Tolerability

    Time frame: up to 24 months

    defined as the number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0
