ENHANCE-3: This phase III study is trying to understand the effectiveness of immunotherapy (magrolimab) versus placebo, in combination with targeted therapy and chemotherapy (venetoclax and azacitidine) in people with newly diagnosed, previously untreated acute myeloid leukaemiaA Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Magrolimab Versus Placebo in Combination With Venetoclax and Azacitidine in Newly Diagnosed, Previously Untreated Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Are Ineligible for Intensive Chemotherapy

Inclusion

• Previously untreated individuals with histological confirmation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria who are ineligible for treatment with a standard cytarabine and anthracycline induction regimen due to age, or comorbidity. Individuals must be considered ineligible for intensive chemotherapy, defined by the following:

  • ≥ 75 years of age; Or

  • ≥ 18 to 74 years of age with at least 1 of the following comorbidities:

    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or 3
    • Diffusing capacity of the lung of carbon monoxide ≤ 65% or forced expiratory volume in 1 second ≤ 65%
    • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50%
    • Baseline creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min to < 45 mL/min calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24-hour urine collection
    • Hepatic disorder with total bilirubin > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • Any other comorbidity that the investigator judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy

  • ECOG performance status:

    • Of 0 to 2 for individuals ≥ 75 years of age Or
    • Of 0 to 3 for individuals ≥ 18 to 74 years of age

• Individuals with white blood cell (WBC) count ≤ 20 x 10^3/μL prior to randomization. If the individual's WBC is > 20 x10^3/μL prior to randomization, the individual 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: Individuals can be treated with hydroxyurea and/or leukapheresis prior to randomization and throughout the study to reduce the WBC to ≤ 20 x 10^3/μL to enable eligibility for study drug dosing

• Hemoglobin must be ≥ 9 g/dL prior to initial dose of study treatment

  • Note: Transfusions are allowed to meet hemoglobin eligibility
• Pretreatment blood cross-match completed
