HVA vs IA/DA or VA in the Treatment of ND HR-AML

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of homohartonine combined with venetoclax and azacitidine (HVA) versus intensive chemotherapy (IA/DA) or venetoclax combined with azacitidine (VA) in newly diagnosed high-risk AML patients.

About this study

The HVA regimen exerts a synergistic pro-apoptotic effect and has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy against R/R AML and also overcomes adaptive resistance observed in the VA regimen. Exploratory work with small sample sizes in first-line settings suggests that combination of HHT and Ven+AZA exhibits potent anti-AML effects with good safety profiles, particularly in overcoming the impact of high-risk factors associated with AML relative to standard treatments. This indicates its potential as a more ideal option for the treatment of newly diagnosed AML with high risk factors. Therefore a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled clinical study is planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the HVA regimen compared to intensive chemotherapy (IA/DA) or Venetoclax plus azacitidine (VA) regimens in newly diagnosed high-risk fit-AML or unfit AML patients.

Treatment and study plan

HVA

Drug

Homoharringtonine (HHT) is given by venous drip daily at 1 mg/m2 from day 1 to 7. Venetoclax (VEN) is given 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, and 400 mg orally from day 3 to day 14. Azacitidine (AZA) is given 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously from day 1 to 7.

VA

Drug

VEN is given 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, and 400 mg orally from day 3 to day 28, and AZA (75 mg/m2) is given subcutaneously from day 1 to 7.

Standard Chemotherapy

Drug

Standard Chemotherapy includes IA(Idarubicin combined with Cytarabine) or DA(Daunorubicin combined with Cytarabine). IDA is given by venous drip daily at 12mg/m2, or DNR is given by venous drip daily at 60mg/m2, from day 1-3, combined with Ara-C at 100mg/m2 by continuously venous drip from day 1-7.

Primary outcomes

  1. Composite complete remission (CRc)

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days).

    CRc includes complete remission (CR) and complete remission accompanied with with incomplete count recovery (CRi).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete remission (CR)

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days).

    Complete remission is defined as BM with >5% blasts and without extramedullary infltration and recovery of peripheral blood cells.

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days).

    ORR includes CRc, partial response (PR), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS).

  3. DOR

    Time frame: 1 year

    duration of response

  4. Rate of Measurable residual disease (MRD) negative

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days).

    MRD is monitored using flow cytometric analysis with a positive MRD threshold of 0.1%.

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: 1 year

    OS is calculated from enrollment to death or the last follow-up.

  6. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Time frame: 1 year

    EFS is calculated from enrollment to the date of relapse or death or the last follow-up.

  7. Adverse events (AE)

    Time frame: The first dose until 28 days after treatment discontinuation

    AE are recorded from the first dose until 28 days after treatment discontinuation and are graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
