E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) Previously untreated patients with histological confirmation of AML by World Health Organization criteria who are ineligible for treatment with a standard cytarabine and anthracycline induction regimen due to age, or comorbidity. Patients must be considered ineligible for intensive chemotherapy, defined by the following: a) ≥ 75 years of age; Or b) ≥ 18 to 74 years of age with at least 1 of the following comorbidities: i) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or 3, ii) Diffusing capacity of the lung of carbon monoxide ≤ 65% or forced expiratory volume in 1 second ≤ 65%, iii) Left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50%, iv) Baseline creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min to < 45 mL/min calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24-hour urine collection, v) Hepatic disorder with total bilirubin > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) vi) Any other comorbidity that the investigator judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy that must be approved by the sponsor’s medical monitor before study enrollment 2) ECOG performance status: a) Of 0 to 2 for subjects ≥ 75 years of age Or b) Of 0 to 3 for subjects ≥ 18 to 74 years of age 3) Patients with white blood cell (WBC) count ≤ 20 x 10^3/μL prior to randomization. If the patient’s WBC is > 20 x10^3/μL prior to randomization, the patient can be enrolled, assuming all other eligibility criteria are met. However, the WBC should be ≤ 20 x 10^3/μL prior to the first dose of study treatment and prior to each magrolimab/placebo dose during Cycle 1. NOTE: Patients can be treated with hydroxyurea and/or leukapheresis prior to randomization and throughout the study to reduce the WBC to ≤ 20 x 103/μL to enable eligibility for study drug dosing. 4) Hemoglobin must be ≥ 9 g/dL prior to initial dose of study treatment. NOTE: Transfusions are allowed to meet hemoglobin eligibility. 5) Patient has provided informed consent. 6) Patient is willing and able to comply with clinic visits and procedures outlined in the study protocol. 7) Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age 8) Patients must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min; calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24-hour urine collection. 9) Adequate liver function as demonstrated by: a) aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) b) alanine aminotransferase ≤ 3.0 x ULN c) total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, or primary unconjugated bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN if patient has a documented history of Gilbert’s syndrome or genetic equivalent. Patients ≥ 18 to 74 years of age may have total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN 10) Pretreatment blood cross-match completed 11) Male and female patients of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified method(s) of contraception. 12) Patients must be willing to consent to mandatory pretreatment and on-treatment bone marrow assessments (aspirate and trephines). |

Prior treatment with MDS therapies including, but not limited to lenalidomide, erythroid-stimulating agents, or similar red blood cell (RBC-), WBC-, or platelet-direct therapies or growth factors is allowed for these patients. 6) Current participation in another interventional clinical study 7) Known inherited or acquired bleeding disorders 8) Patients who have received treatment with strong and/or moderate CYP3A inducers (eg, preparations containing St. John’s wort) within 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatments 9) Patients who have consumed grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges (including marmalade containing Seville oranges) or starfruit within 3 days prior to the initiation of study treatment and are unwilling to discontinue consumption of these throughout the receipt of study drug 10) Patients who have malabsorption syndrome or other conditions that preclude enteral route of administration 11) Clinical suspicion of or documented active central nervous system (CNS) involvement with AML 12) Patients who have acute promyelocytic leukemia 13) Significant disease or medical conditions, as assessed by the investigator and sponsor, that would substantially increase the risk-benefit ratio of participating in the study. This includes, but is not limited to, acute myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable angina, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, significant active infections, and congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class III to IV. 14) Known history, diagnosis, or suspicion of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) syndrome. 15) Second malignancy, except MDS, treated basal cell or localized squamous skin carcinomas, localized prostate cancer, or other malignancies for which patients are not on active anticancer therapies and have had no evidence of active malignancy for at least 1 year NOTE: Patients on maintenance therapy alone who have no evidence of active malignancy for at least ≥ 1 year are eligible. NOTE: Localized non-CNS radiotherapy, erythroid and/or myeloid growth factors, hormonal therapy with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists for prostate cancer, hormonal therapy or maintenance for breast cancer, and treatment with bisphosphonates and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand inhibitors are also not criteria for exclusion. 16) Known medical history of active human immunodeficiency virus infection or medical history of active active or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or HIV infection in medical history within 3 months of study entry. Active HBV, and/or active HCV, and/or HIV following testing at screening: a) Patients who test positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. Patients who test positive for hepatitis B core antibody will require HBV DNA by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for confirmation of active disease. b) Patients who test positive for HCV antibody. These patients will require HCV RNA quantitative PCR for confirmation of active disease. c) Patients who test positive for HIV antibody. d) Patients not currently receiving antiviral therapy and who have an undetectable viral load in the prior 3 months may be eligible for the study |
