Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 17 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2015-11-19

Brief Summary

To determine the activity of lenalidomide in the treatment of pediatric subjects with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (with second or greater relapse or refractory to at least 2 prior induction attempts) measured by morphological complete response defined as either a CR or CRi within the first 4 cycles of treatment.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase 2, Simon's Optimal two-stage design study, with an Optional Extension Phase (OEP), that will assess the activity, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenalidomide in pediatric subjects from 1 to ≤ 18 years of age with second or greater Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (rrAML). A total of 43 evaluable participants (18 participants in Stage 1 and an additional 25 participants in Stage 2) are required for assessment of the primary endpoint. To allow for participants found to be unevaluable for the primary endpoint due to an incorrect diagnosis, not having a disease assessment post screening, or who discontinued prior to receiving lenalidomide, up to 4 additional participants may be enrolled for a maximum of 47 evaluable subjects across approximately 70 sites. Approximately 50% of enrolled participants will be younger than 12 years of age to provide adequate PK data for this age subset.

If during Stage 1, at least 3 of 18 participants achieve a morphologic complete response (either CR or CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, then the study will proceed to Stage 2; otherwise, the study will be terminated. Similarly, if at the final analysis, at least 8 of 43 evaluable subjects across Stages 1 and 2 achieve a response (CR/CRi) within the first 4 cycles of study treatment, it will be concluded that lenalidomide has sufficient activity in pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) to warrant subsequent study. The optional extension phase (OEP) will allow participants who demonstrate clinical benefit, as assessed by the Investigator at the completion of 12 cycles of lenalidomide therapy, to continue receiving oral lenalidomide until they meet the criteria for study discontinuation. In the OEP, only safety, dosing, concomitant medications/procedures, and second primary malignancies (SPMs) will be monitored.

Female children of childbearing potential, is defined as females who have achieved menarche and/or breast development in Tanner Stage 2 or greater and have not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy and FCBP defined as a sexually mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy and has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months) must meet the following conditions below (Note: Amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential):

• Medically supervised serum pregnancy tests with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL must be conducted in FCCBP/FCBP, including those who commit to complete abstinence*. FCCBP/FCBP must have two pregnancy tests (with a minimum sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL) prior to starting treatment with lenalidomide. The first pregnancy test must be performed within 10 - 14 days prior to the start of lenalidomide treatment and the second pregnancy test must be performed within 24 hours prior to starting treatment with lenalidomide.

NOTE: The pregnancy test 10 to 14 days prior to initiation of lenalidomide may be omitted, at the discretion of the investigator, for any FCCBP/FCBP who has high acuity disease requiring immediate treatment with lenalidomide. The pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the first dose of lenalidomide is required to be performed.

The participants may not received Investigational Product (IP) until the investigator has verified that the results of these pregnancy tests performed on Cycle 1 Day 1 are negative. FCCBP/FCBP with regular or no menstrual cycles must agree to have pregnancy tests weekly for the first 28 days of study participation and then every 28 days while on study, at study Treatment Discontinuation Visit, and at Day 28 following IP discontinuation.
