Study of Tretinoin Capsules in Combination With Azacitidine and Venetoclax in Treatment Naïve Participants With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This study was a prospective, two-arm, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tretinoin capsules combined with azacitidine and venetoclax in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Azacitidine, venetoclax, and tretinoin may arrest cancer cell growth by demethylation, promoting cell differentiation, or killing cells, while reducing blood-related adverse effects by promoting cell differentiation.

About this study

This is a multi-center, non-controlled, open-label, Phase 3 interventional study.Young (≥18 and ≤60 years old) patients with newly diagnosed non M3, acute myeloid leukemia will receive a combination of AZA+Venetoclax+ATRA(AVA regimen) or daunorubicin +cytarabine(DA regimen) as induction treatment for 2 cycles.

According to standard procedures, patients will receive one of the following consolidation regimens separately, including the AVA regimen, or medium-dose cytarabine alone or in combination with anthracyclines regimen for 2cycle. After consolidation therapy, maintenance treatment could be given once a month for 4 times, then once every 3 months until progression.

After the second induction therapy, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was recommended for patients with suitable donors.

The primary endpoint is ORR after second induction therapy.Outcome measures included complete remission (CR)/complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) .

Primary outcomes

  1. The overall response rate (ORR) after the second therapy

    Time frame: Efficacy was assessed within 2 weeks after completion of the second course of therapy or within 1 week before the third course of therapy

    ORR rate was defifined as patients achieving a CRc or PR

  2. The composite complete remission rate (CRc) after the second therapy

    Time frame: Efficacy was assessed within 2 weeks after completion of the second course of therapy or within 1 week before the third course of therapy

    complete response (CR) plus complete response with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi)] after 2 cycles of treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Composite complete response (CRc) after the first therapy

    Time frame: Efficacy was assessed within 2 weeks after completion of the first course of induction therapy or within 1 week before the second course of therapy

    CRc rate was defifined as patients achieving a CR or CRi

  2. The overall response rate (ORR) after the first therapy

    Time frame: Efficacy was assessed within 2 weeks after completion of the first course of induction therapy or within 1 week before the second course of therapy

    ORR rate was defifined as patients achieving a CRc or PR

  3. Rate of transfusion independence

    Time frame: Up to 28 days after the start of therapy

    Rate of transfusion independence (TI) , including platelet transfusion independence rate and red blood cell transfusion independence rate.

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: up to 2 years after the date of the last enrolled participants

    (OS) refers to the length of time from randomization until the death of the patient from any cause.
