Daunorubicin, Cytarabine, and Midostaurin in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00651261
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of a standard
chemotherapy regimen for AML that includes the drugs daunorubicin and cytarabine combined
with or without midostaurin (also known as PKC412), to find out which is better. This
research is being done because it is unknown whether the addition of midostaurin to
chemotherapy treatment is better than chemotherapy treatment alone. Midostaurin has been
tested in over 400 patients and is being studied in a number of illnesses, including AML,
colon cancer, and lung cancer. Midostaurin blocks an enzyme, produced by a gene known as
FLT3, that may have a role in the survival and growth of AML cells. Not all leukemia cells
will have the abnormal FLT3 gene. This study will focus only on patients with leukemia cells
with the abnormal FLT3 gene.
Official Title
A Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Induction (Daunorubicin/Cytarabine) and Consolidation (High-Dose Cytarabine) Chemotherapy + Midostaurin (PKC412) (IND #101261) or Placebo in Newly Diagnosed Patients < 60 Years of Age With FLT3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Eligibility
1. Documentation of Disease:
- Unequivocal diagnosis of AML ( > 20% blasts in the bone marrow based on the WHO
classification), excluding M3 (acute promyelocytic leukemia). Patients with
neurologic symptoms suggestive of CNS leukemia are recommended to have a lumbar
puncture. Patients whose CSF is positive for AML blasts are not eligible.
- Documented FLT3 mutation (ITD or point mutation), determined by analysis in a
protocol- designated FLT3 screening laboratory.
2. Age Requirement:
- Age ≥ 18 and < 60 years
3. Prior Therapy:
- No prior chemotherapy for leukemia or myelodysplasia with the following
exceptions:
- emergency leukapheresis
- emergency treatment for hyperleukocytosis with hydroxyurea for ≤ 5 days
- cranial RT for CNS leukostasis (one dose only)
- growth factor/cytokine support
- AML patients with a history of antecedent myelodysplasia (MDS) remain eligible
for treatment on this trial, but must not have had prior cytotoxic therapy (e.g.,
azacitidine or decitabine)
- Patients who have developed therapy related AML after prior RT or chemotherapy
for another cancer or disorder are not eligible.
4. Cardiac Function: Patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure are not eligible.
5. Initial Laboratory Value: Total bilirubin < 2.5 x ULN (Upper Limit of Normal)
6. Pregnancy and Nursing Status:
- Non-pregnant and non-nursing due to the unknown teratogenic potential of
midostaurin in humans, pregnant or nursing patients may not be enrolled.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy
test within a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 16 days prior to
registration.
- Women of child-bearing potential must either commit to continued abstinence from
heterosexual intercourse or commit to TWO acceptable methods of birth control:
- one highly effective method (eg, IUD, hormonal (non-oral contraceptive),
tubal ligation, or partner's vasectomy) and
- one additional effective method (e.g., latex condom, diaphragm or cervical
cap)
- The two acceptable methods of birth control must be used AT THE SAME TIME, before
beginning midostaurin/placebo therapy and continuing for 12 weeks after
completion of all therapy.
- Note that oral contraceptives are not considered a high effective method because
of the possibility of a drug interaction with midostaurin.
- Women of childbearing potential is defined as a sexually active mature woman who
has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has not had menses at any time in the
preceding 24 consecutive months.
- Men must agree not to father a child and must use a latex condom during any
sexual contact with women of childbearing potential while taking
midostaurin/placebo and for 12 weeks after therapy is stopped, even if they have
undergone a successful vasectomy.
