E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
to compare the median Event Free Survival (EFS) of AML patients in the age of ≥18 and ≤ 60 years between the Sorafenib and the control group |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• to compare the median Event Free Survival (EFS) of AML patients with Flt3-ITD mutations between the Sorafenib and the control group
• to compare the median EFS of the patients in each of six strata (see protocol)
• to compare the median Overall Survival (OS) of AML patients with Flt3-ITD mutations
• to compare the median Overall Survival (OS) of all AML patients
• to compare the CR rate
• to compare the rate of molecular remissions
• to compare the toxicity
• to compare the evidence of minimal residual disease of all AML patients after induction therapy and in the course of the first remission
• to compare early treatment efficacy (day 16 bone marrow assessment)
• to compare the development of biomarkers indicating the course of disease, including genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional and protein markers in leukemic blasts, bone marrow, peripheral blood cells, serum and plasma |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients with newly diagnosed AML (except APL) according to the FAB and WHO classification, including AML evolving from MDS or other hematologic diseases and AML after previous cytotoxic therapy or radiation (secondary AML)
• Bone marrow aspirate or biopsy must contain ≥ 20% blasts of all nucleated cells or differential blood count must contain ≥ 20% blasts. In AML FAB M6 ≥ 30% of non-erythroid cells in the bone marrow must be leukemic blasts. In AML defined by cytogenetic aberrations the proportion of blasts may be < 20%.
• Age ≥18 and ≤60 years
• Informed consent, personally signed and dated to participate in the study
• ECOG performance status of 0-1
• Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
• Adequate liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to screening:
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal,
ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal
Alkaline phosphatase < 4 x upper limit of normal
PT-INR/PTT < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (Patients who are being therapeutically anticoagulated with an agent such as coumarin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in these parameters exists).
• Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Patients who are not eligible for standard chemotherapy
• Central nervous system manifestation of AML
• Cardiac Disease: Heart failure NYHA III° or IV°; unstable coronary artery disease (MI more than 6 months prior to study entry is permitted); serious cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy (beta blockers or digoxin are permitted)
• Chronically impaired renal function (creatinine clearance < 30 ml / min) (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
• Patients undergoing renal dialysis
• Chronic pulmonary disease with relevant hypoxia
• Known HIV and/or hepatitis C infection
• Evidence or history of severe non-leukemia associated bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
• Evidence or recent history of CNS disease, including primary or metastatic brain tumors, seizure disorders
• Resting blood pressure (BP) consistently higher than systolic 160 mmHg and/or diastolic 95 mmHg
• Any severe concomitant condition which makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or which could jeopardize compliance of the protocol
• Patients with major surgery, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of start of first dose
• Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture
• Uncontrolled active infection > Grade 2 NCI-CTC version 3.0
• Concurrent malignancies other than AML
• History of organ allograft
• Allergy to study medication or excipients in study medication
• Pregnant or breast-feeding patients. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test performed within 7 days of the start of treatment. Both men and women enrolled in this trial must use adequate barrier birth control measures during the course of the trial and 3 months after completion of trial
• Previous treatment of AML except hydoxyurea for up to 5 days
• Concomitant or previous treatment with kinase inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors and Myelotarg
• Investigational drug therapy outside of this trial during or within 4 weeks of study entry
• Patients unable to swallow oral medications
• Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient´s participation in the study or evaluation of these study results |
