7. In the absence of rapidly progressing disease, the interval from prior treatment to time of AC220 administration will be at least 2 weeks for cytotoxic agents or at least 5 half-lives for noncytotoxic agents, including immunosuppressive therapy post HSCT.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy will be primarily evaluated by the confirmed CR and CRc rate (CR+ CRp + CRi), duration of remission, DFS, TTR, and OS. Response will be assessed per Cheson criteria [ref], which will be modified for assessment of CRi as indicated in Section 10. 2.4. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
•Bone marrow aspirates and/or biopsies (both bone marrow aspirates and biopsies are preferred, but biopsies may be omitted at the discretion of the Investigator if an adequate aspirate is obtained) are required at Screening (within 14 days prior to first dose of AC220), Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, and Cycle 4 Day 1 (unless the patient has already achieved a complete remission [CR, CRp, or CRi], in which case bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy will be repeated after every 3
subsequent cycles), and at the Early Termination/End of Study Visit, and
as clinically indicated per the conditions mentioned below. These samples will be evaluated as specified in the protocol for assessment of remission.
•Best Response |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
•Duration of remission, DFS, TTR, and OS
•Hematological improvement will also be assessed as well as impact of treatment with AC220 on blood and platelet transfusions, infections, days of hospitalization (including days in intensive care), performance status (ECOG scale), providing a "bridge to transplant," and duration of leukemia/disease control.
•Pharmacogenetic analysis of FLT3-ITD mutation |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
•Duration of Remission: Time from first fully documented remission until documented relapse. Every effort must be made to capture subsequent antileukemic therapies (if any) and outcomes, which will be documented in the CRF.
•Disease Free Survival (DFS): Same as duration of remission not censored at death.
•Time to Treatment Response (TTR): Time from the first dose of AC220 (Cycle 1 Day 1) until the first measured response (CR, CRp, CRi, or PR). Time to best response will also be assessed, and is the time from the
first dose of AC220 (Cycle 1 Day 1) until best response.
•Overall Survival (OS): Time from patient's first dose of study drug until death. |
