| E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
| AML and MDS are malignant conditions of the bone marrow. They both result in failure of the bone marrow to manufacture enough blood cells because the marrow contains too many leukaemia cells |

| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This trial will aim to answer the following questions:
1)Does a fractionated schedule of two doses of Mylotarg improve upon the current standard of 3mg/m2 on day 1 of course 1?
2)Does the addition of either a short or long (maintenance) course of AC220 starting at course 2 improve outcomes?
3)Is MRD status following course 1 of clinical value? In particular, can outcomes be improved by intensifying treatment in patients who show evidence of residual disease following course 1 of treatment?
4)To compare a further course of DA vs intermediate dose Cytarabine in patients who are in CR or CRi and MRD -ve after induction course 1 & have received a second course of DA induction
5)In patients with known adverse risk cytogenetics (using Grimwade 2010 classification favourable/intermediate/adverse, see table 1 appendix E) at diagnosis to evaluate the combination of Vosaroxin and Decitabine
6)To assess the value of Reduced Intensity Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation as consolidation for |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Blood and bone marrow will be collected at diagnosis, post course 1, during remission and at relapse to evaluate the therapeutic relevance of morphological, cytogenetic, molecular-genetic and immunophenotypic assessments, with particular respect to:
1)The relevance of the presence of a cytogenetic abnormality in the bone marrow of patients in morphological remission
2)The relevance of molecular characteristics and response to treatment
3)To store diagnostic tissue for future research in the AML Tissue Bank. |

| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• They have one of the forms of acute myeloid leukaemia, except Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia as defined by the WHO Classification (Appendix A) this can be any type of de novo or secondary AML – or high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome, defined as greater than 10% marrow blasts (RAEB-2). (NB patients with prior MDS (>10% blasts, RAEB2) have received azacitidine are not eligible for the trial, but patients with <10% who have failed a hypomethylating agent and developed AML may enter the trial).
• For the Mylotarg randomisation patients should normally be over the age of 60, but patients under this age are eligible if they are not considered eligible for the MRC AML19 trial please contact the trial team for further information.
• Patients entering the Vosaroxin/Decitabine arm must be over the age of 60.
• They have given written informed consent.
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN (upper limit of normal)
• Patients eligible for the Mylotarg randomisation and for Vosaroxin/Decitabine treatment must have Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and/or Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 × ULN and bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN
• In order to be eligible to receive cladribine, serum creatinine must be within the local ULN to enter that randomisation. Patients for whom this is not the case can be randomised between the remaining options.
• Sexually mature males must agree to use an adequate and medically accepted method of contraception throughout the study if their sexual partners are women of child bearing potential (WOCBP). Similarly women must agree to adequate contraceptive measures. In both males and females these measures must be in place for at least 6 months after the last administration of Cladribine. In the event of pregnancy at any point during the trial, the IMPs should be immediately stopped and the Trial Team should be contacted and pregnancy reporting procedures followed.
• ECOG Performance Status of 0-2
|
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients are not eligible for the AML18 trial if:
• They have previously received cytotoxic chemotherapy for AML
[Hydroxycarbamide, or similar low-dose therapy, to control the white count prior to initiation of intensive therapy, is not an exclusion]
• They are in blast transformation of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)
• They have a concurrent active malignancy excluding basal cell carcinoma
• They are pregnant or lactating
• They have Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia
• Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
• Total bilirubin > 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), unless due to Gilbert’s syndrome
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 x ULN
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5 x ULN
For the Vosaroxin/Decitabine Entry
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% by multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)]
• History of myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack (CVA/TIA) within 3 months before entry
• Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis required.
In addition patients are not eligible for the AC220 randomisation if they have:
Cardiovascular System Exclusion Criteria:
Known serious cardiac illness or medical conditions, including but not limited to:
I. Clinically unstable cardiac disease, including unstable atrial fibrillation, symptomatic bradycardia, unstable congestive heart failure, active myocardial ischemia, or indwelling temporary pacemaker
II. Ventricular tachycardia or a supraventricular tachycardia that requires treatment with a Class Ia antiarrhythmic drug (e.g., quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide) or Class III antiarrhythmic drug (e.g., sotalol, amiodarone, dofetilide). Use of other antiarrhythmic drugs is permitted.
III. Use of medications that have been linked to the occurrence of torsades de pointes (see Appendix for the list of such medications)
IV. Second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block unless treated with a permanent pacemaker
V. Complete left bundle branch block (LBBB)
VI. History of long QT Syndrome or a family member with this condition
VII. Serum potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels not outside the laboratory’s reference range
VIII. QTc >450 ms (average of triplicate ECG recordings); a consistent method of QTc calculation must be used for each patient’s QTc measurements. QTcF (Fridericia’s formula) is preferred. Please see the trial website for QTcF calculator.

| E.5 End points |
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary outcome measure will be:
1)Overall survival
2)Complete remission (CR + CRi) achievement and reasons for failure (for induction questions)
3)Duration of remission, relapse rates and deaths in first CR
4)Toxicity, both haematological and non-haematological
5)Supportive care requirements (and other aspects of health economics).
