Clinical summary
Summary
This protocol has 2 separate studies that will investigate adding ziftomenib to standard of care (SOC) treatment for people with acute myeloid leukaemia with certain genetic mutations (NPM1-m and KMT2A-r).
In the first study (Nonintensive Therapy Study), older patients or those with serious medical problems will receive the SOC therapies venetoclax (ven) and azacitidine (aza), plus either ziftomenib or a placebo.
In the second study (Intensive Therapy Study), medically fit patients will receive (a) SOC therapies cytarabine and daunorubicin, plus either ziftomenib or a placebo during a first treatment phase called induction, (b) cytarabine plus either ziftomenib or a placebo during a second treatment phase called consolidation, and (c) ziftomenib or a placebo during a third treatment phase called maintenance.
The physician will determine which study is the appropriate treatment for the patient, but neither the patient nor their physician will know whether the patient has been assigned to receive ziftomenib or a placebo. This is called a "double-blinded" study.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with acute myeloid leukaemia with either NPM-1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement
