Brief Summary

The CHIP-AML22 Master protocol has the overall aim of increasing the cure rate in newly diagnosed pediatric de novo AML patients, while avoiding unnecessary toxicity. The linked Quizartinib trial (CHIP-AML22/Quizartinib) is a phase II, single arm, open label, study on the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of quizartinib in combination with chemotherapy and as single-agent after high dose therapy in newly diagnosed pediatric AML patients with a FLT3-ITD mutation and NPM1 wild-type.

Detailed Description

The CHIP-AML22/Quizartinib study is a single-arm, multinational, multicenter, open-label phase II study, with a safety run-in, aiming to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of quizartinib, a FLT3-inhibitor, as IMP added to standard of care chemotherapy in newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive and NPM1 wild-type AML pediatric patients.

This study is a linked trial to the CHIP-AML22/Master protocol. Patients will start in the CHIP-AML22/Master study and if they are FLT3-ITD positive and NPM1 wild-type, can be enrolled in the CHIP-AML22/Quizartinib study.

Study Groups

Quizartinib

Quizartinib will be administered for 14 days following the completion of standard of care chemotherapy for up to 3-5 cycles of induction and consolidation. After high dose chemotherapy or allo-Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-SCT), patients will receive continuation treatment with quizartinib for six 28-day courses

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Quizartinib

Intervention Type: DRUG

Quizartinib is a novel oral Class III receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor exhibiting highly potent and selective but reversible inhibition of FMS-like tyrosine kinase FLT3. The dose will be adjusted for the patient's body weight (BW) as measured at the start of each course. Quizartinib will be administered orally once daily and is taken for 14 consecutive days during induction and consolidation courses.

Induction course 1: Start on day 13; Induction course 2: Start on day 9; Consolidation course 1: Start on day 6; Consolidation courses 2 and 3 (only if no allo-SCT is done): Start on day 6.

Continuation courses 1-6: patients will receive quizartinib for six 28-day courses. For the first 15 days of course 1 a starting dose will be applicable. On course 1 Day 16, the dose will be increased if the average QTc of the triplicate Electrocardiograms is ≤450 msec on course 1 Day 15. Once the dose is increased, the patient may continue on this dose as long as dose reduction is not needed.
