Summary
This is the master study protocol for a platform trial which will initially enrol participants to the ALLG National Blood Cancer AML Registry (NBCR) which acts as an umbrella screening format for AML trials conducted by the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG).
Patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy will receive venetoclax and azacitidine (VEN-AZA).
The NBCR will allow clinical data collection, storage of baseline samples for future research, and MRD determination as part of standard of care. If at any stage the patient becomes eligible for participation in the AMLM28 ADAPT study, the patient will be invited to sign the applicable AMLM28 ADAPT consent form to enable trial registration and screen for one of the interventional therapy domains.
A platform trial allows the addition of new treatment options, making it flexible and effective to optimise treatment outcomes for people receiving VEN-AZA. These adaptions include, but are not linited to:
- a new treatment combination
- de-escalation of therapy
- a new MRD assay
- A new supportive care strategy.
Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 and above, and have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), elderly and un-fit for intensive chemotherapy.
Summary of proposed AMLM28 ADAPT domains (sub-studies)
ADAPT-STop Domain
Patients enrolled to the NBCR, receiving VEN-AZA and achieving CR/CRi/CRh MRD negative status and still negative 10-14 months after commencing VEN-AZA will be eligible to consent to 'ADAPT-STOP' Domain. Patients must have completed at least 8 cycles of VEN-AZA before ceasing therapy in this domain. Alternatively, patients may also be considered for eligibility to the ALLG AMLM26 INTERCEPT study (Registration number: ACTRN12621000439842p).
ADAPT TP52 Domain
If a patient enrolled to the NBCR and receiving VEN-AZA, is found to have one or more TP53 aberrations (defined as TP53 mutation (at any variant allele frequency (VAF)), del17p or monosomy 17), the patient will be eligible to consent to the 'ADAPT TP53' Domain. This should occur after the first cycle of VEN-AZA. If a patient is TP53 and FLT3-ITD positive, this patient will be assigned to the TP53 domain.
ADAPT FLT3 Domain
Patients enrolled to the NBCR, receiving VEN-AZA, is found to have a FLT3 mutation, the patient will be eligible to consent to "ADAPT FLT3" Domain. This should occur prior to day 7 of VEN-AZA.
ADAPT MRD Domain
If a patient enrolled to the NBCR, receiving VEN-AZA, after cycle 4, is found to have les than 10% blasts with positive MRD. E.g. equal to 0.1% aberrant cells by flow cytometry, the patient will be eligible to consent to “ADAPT MRD” domain. Cycle 4 will need to have been completed within 8-months from Cycle 1 Day 1.
Patients can be co-enrolled to INTERCEPT monitoring phase and not INTERCEPT treatment phase. If patient has MRD relapse and goes on INTERCEPT treatment, AMLM28 will follow them up for survival via the NBCR Registry database.
