E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Extension Phase: During the Extension Phase, the subjects will continue to be treated with AG-120/AG-221 + SC azacitidine or single agent AG-120, AG-221, or azacitidine if in the investigator's assessment the subject continues to show clinical benefit and all protocol-specified criteria for continuing study treatment are met. Objective • To allow all Phase 1b and Phase 2 subjects still on treatment to have continued access to the study treatment to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of the study treatment and to follow the subjects for survival. During the Extension Phase, the subjects will continue to be assessed for efficacy until EOT and safety on an ongoing basis and as clinically indicated until 28 days after the last study drug dose and as outlined in Table 5. After the End of Treatment visit, the subjects will be followed for survival until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or the End of Trial, whichever occurs first. The Extension Phase applies to all Phase 1b and Phase 2 subjects that are still on study treatment or in long-term Follow-up after the primary analysis CSR and after the 24-month follow-up update for DMC. Once Amendment 3.0 is approved by regulatory authorities and ethics committees and subjects sign informed consent, they may continue to receive study treatment until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or as per investigator discretion. During the Extension Phase, all subjects will be required to complete study visits and assessments as outlined in Table 5: Extension Phase - Table of Events. Subjects will be assessed for safety (AEs, SAEs and concomitant medications and procedures) on an ongoing basis and as clinically indicated until 28 days after the last study drug dose. Safety assessments including laboratory tests will be performed locally and as clinically indicated. Disease response assessments will be performed locally per modified IWG AML response criteria and according to standard of care (SoC) and as clinically indicated. Subjects who discontinue from the study treatment for any reason should undergo an End of Treatment (EOT) visit and should be assessed for safety and efficacy at this visit. After the Extension Phase - End of Treatment visit, subjects will be followed for survival until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or the End of Trial, whichever occurs first. No central lab samples will be collected nor samples for exploratory analysis (pharmacodynamics, correlative studies, MRD, Buccal swabs) will be collected during the Extension Phase. |
