A Study of Daunorubicin and Cytarabine With or Without Uproleselan in Treating Older Adult Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Receiving Intensive Induction Chemotherapy

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well daunorubicin and cytarabine, with or without uproleselan, works in treating older adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia receiving intensive induction chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Uproleselan may prevent cancer from returning or getting worse. Giving daunorubicin and cytarabine with uproleselan may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to daunorubicin and cytarabine alone.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria: 

  • Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML-RARA. 
  • No activating mutation in the Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) defined as a ratio of mutant to wild-type allele >= 0.05 by capillary electrophoresis or a variant allele fraction of >= 5% by next generation sequencing from either bone marrow or peripheral blood. 
  • No evidence of CNS involvement of AML.
  • No prior chemotherapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or AML including hypomethylating agents (e.g., azacitidine and decitabine) or lenalidomide with the following exceptions: 
    • Emergency leukapheresis. 
    • Hydroxyurea.
    • Growth factor/cytokine support.
    • All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). 
    • Single dose of intrathecal cytarabine and/or methotrexate for patients undergoing lumbar puncture to evaluate for CNS involvement.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with myeloid sarcoma without bone marrow involvement, acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage or blast transformation of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) are not eligible.
