RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) remain poor. Novel therapies specifically targeting AML are of high interest. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is an antibody-drug conjugate that is specific for human CD30. In this phase 1 dose escalation study, the authors evaluated the safety of BV combined with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine (MEC) re-induction chemotherapy for patients with CD30-expressing R/R AML. METHODS: Using a standard dose escalation design, the authors evaluated 3 dose levels of BV (0.9 mg/kg, 1.2 mg/kg, and 1.8 mg/kg) administered once on day 1 followed by MEC on days 3 through 7. RESULTS: There were no dose-limiting toxicities noted and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The recommended phase 2 dose of BV was determined to be 1.8 mg/kg when combined with MEC. The side effect profile was similar to that expected from MEC chemotherapy alone, with the most common grade ≥3 toxicities being febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia (toxicities were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [version 4.0]). Among the 22 patients enrolled on the trial, the composite response rate was 36%, with a composite response rate of 42% noted among those who received the highest dose of BV. The median overall survival was 9.5 months, with a median disease-free survival of 6.8 months observed among responders. Approximately 55% of patients were able to proceed with either allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or donor lymphocyte infusion. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of BV with MEC was found to be safe in patients with CD30-expressing R/R AML and warrants further study comparing this combination with the use of MEC alone in this population (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01830777). LAY SUMMARY: The outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) are exceptionally poor. New and emerging treatment combinations are actively being studied in an effort to improve outcomes. The authors examined the combination of brentuximab vedotin, an antibody product that recognizes a marker called CD30, with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine (MEC), a common chemotherapy regimen, in patients with R/R AML that expressed the CD30 marker. The authors found that the combination was safe and well tolerated. Future studies comparing this new combination with the use of MEC alone can help to inform its effectiveness for this patient population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), MET, AXL, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and KIT, is approved for use in multiple malignancies. We assessed the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib in AML, given up-regulation of multiple relevant pathways. METHODS: Adults were eligible if they were 18 years old or older with relapsed/refractory AML or if they were 70 years old or older with newly diagnosed AML but were ineligible for conventional therapy. Cabozantinib was administered in 28-day cycles, and dose escalation occurred via cohorts. A pharmacodynamic evaluation of serial plasma samples via a plasma inhibitory assay (PIA) was used to assess FLT3-inhibitory activity in FLT3-mutant cell lines. RESULTS: Among 18 patients enrolled, 5 were found to harbor FLT3/ITD mutations. Sixteen patients (89%) had relapsed/refractory AML, and most were treated with 2 or more lines of prior treatment. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were detected at the first dose level (40 mg daily), but 2 patients experienced DLTs at the next level (60 mg daily). The remaining patients were then dosed at 40 mg daily, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additional grade 2 or higher toxicities, possibly/probably related to cabozantinib, included fatigue, nausea, transaminitis, and electrolyte imbalance. No patients had a marrow response according to formal criteria, but 4 had peripheral blast reductions; 2 of these 4 patients transiently cleared circulating blasts. One patient experienced a reduction in marrow blasts, and 1 had stable disease. The FLT3-inhibitory activity of plasma samples, as assessed with the PIA, revealed potent and sustained inhibition in FLT3/ITD and, notably, F691 tyrosine kinase domain (TKD)-mutant cells. CONCLUSIONS: Cabozantinib is well tolerated in AML patients at an MTD of 40 mg daily and is a potent inhibitor of FLT3/ITD- and F691 TKD-altered tyrosine kinases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Increased aurora A kinase (AAK) expression occurs in acute myeloid leukaemia; AAK inhibition is a promising therapeutic target in this disease. We therefore aimed to assess the activity of alisertib combined with 7 + 3 induction chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukaemia. METHODS: We did a single-arm, phase 2 trial of patients recruited from the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in the USA. Eligible patients had previously untreated acute myeloid leukaemia, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and were at high risk of disease as defined by the presence of an adverse-risk karyotype, the presence of secondary acute myeloid leukaemia arising from previous myelodysplastic syndrome or myeloproliferative neoplasm, the presence of therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia, or being 65 years or older. Enrolled patients received 7 + 3 induction chemotherapy of continuous infusion of cytarabine (100 mg/m2 per day on days 1-7) and intravenous bolus of idarubicin (12 mg/m2 per day on days 1-3). Oral alisertib (30 mg) was given twice per day on days 8-15. Patients could receive up to four consolidation cycles with cytarabine and alisertib, and alisertib maintenance for 12 months. The primary endpoint was a composite including the proportion of patients achieving complete remission and those with a complete remission with incomplete neutrophil or platelet count recovery. Analyses were per-protocol. This study is registered with Clinicaltrials.gov, number NCT02560025, and has completed enrolment. FINDINGS: Between Dec 31, 2015, and Aug 1, 2017, we enrolled a total of 39 eligible patients. 19 (49%) of 39 patients had secondary acute myeloid leukaemia and three (8%) had therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia. At mid-induction, 33 (85%) of 39 patients showed marrow aplasia, six (15%) received re-induction. The median follow-up was 13·7 months (IQR 12·7-14·4). Composite remission was 64% (two-stage 95% CI 48-79), with 20 (51%) of 39 patients achieving complete remission and five (13%) achieving complete remission with incomplete neutrophil or platelet count recovery. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events included febrile neutropenia (16 [41%] of 39), neutropenia (12 [31%]), thrombocytopenia (13 [33%]), anaemia (11 [28%]), anorexia (nine [23%]), and oral mucositis (four [10%]). No treatment-related deaths were observed. INTERPRETATION: These results suggest that alisertib combined with induction chemotherapy is active and safe in previously untreated patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukaemia. This study met criteria to move forward to a future randomised trial. FUNDING: Millennium Pharmaceuticals.
