Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if avapritinib combined with standard induction therapy works to treat newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with KIT mutations and t(8;21)(q22;q22.1); inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22). It will also investigate the safety and tolerability of this combination therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of avapritinib combined with chemotherapy by Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

Does this combination therapy improve the rates of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity and long-term survival outcomes?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prognosis of CBF-AML patients with KIT mutation remains relatively poor. CBF-AML is a heterogeneous disease in which many altered molecular pathways could contribute to the prognosis of the disease. Thus, curative approaches have been based on standard and high-dose cytarabine regimens using high-dose chemotherapy. However, the high rate of relapses in these patients should stimulate the development of new regimens. In recent years, there has been a series of new drugs under development that allow the design of combination therapies in this population. These drugs have an acceptable toxicity profile and are able to improve the CR rate in this population. In this way, the standard therapy and a small molecular targeted agent (Avapritinib) could produce a powerful antileukemic effect, preventing the adaptive escape mechanisms of leukemic cells. The investigators have designed a phase I-II trial based on the combination of a three-drug regimen (IA: standard-dose cytarabine + darubicin) or (VA: Azacitidine + Venetoclax) combined with avapritinib, which in this population could be well tolerated by a sequential type administration. The first objective is to achieve rapid control of the disease and the recommended dose for Phase II, using two different schemes, one based on IA and the other on VA, by dose escalation in Phase I of the trial. The second goal is to prevent relapse through a consolidation and maintenance schedule. Phase II will study the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose for Phase II.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Phase 1: Study treatment will start at level 1, and the therapeutic level will be escalated or descalated depending on the appearance of DLT. DLT will be monitored during cycle 1.

Phase I will consist of two parallel dose escalation cohorts, with consecutive assignment to each group. For the dose escalation, we will use two parallel groups following a standard "3+3" design. Patients will be assigned sequentially to each group: Group A receives avapritinib with the IA regimen for fit patients, and Group B receives the VA regimen for those unfit.

Phase II includes two treatment arm groups (IA-based RP2D vs. VA-based RP2D). Patients will be enrolled at diagnosis, within a maximum 28-day screening period, and will be assessed for eligibility for intensive therapy and therefore assigned to a treatment arm. All screening activities will be performed after the patient's informed consent form is signed.
