A Master Protocol for Biomarker-Based Treatment of AML (The Beat AML Trial)
This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1). The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negative sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies.
• Adults, age 60 years or older at the time of diagnosis unless in a specific known cytogenetic and genomic group for which treatment in Group A or B is allowed by the sub-study where age 18 and older is allowed. Patients \< 60 years old who are screened but do not fall within the cytogenetic and genomic open sub-studies would still be followed on the Master Protocol and not considered screen fails.
• Subjects must be able to understand and provide written informed consent
• Cohort Inclusion Criteria - Group A: Subjects must have previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) according to the WHO classification with no prior treatment other than hydroxyurea. Subjects with blasts % in bone marrow of 10% to 19% or blasts in blood of 10% to 19% will be allowed to enroll to this group. For previously untreated subjects with ≥ 20% blasts in bone marrow or blood only: Prior therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative syndromes (MPD), or aplastic anemia is permitted but not with hypomethylating agents.
• Cohort Inclusion Criteria - Group B: Subjects must have relapsed or refractory AML according to the WHO classification. For study purposes, refractory AML is defined as failure to ever achieve CR or recurrence of AML within 6 months of achieving CR; relapsed AML is defined as all others with disease after prior remission. For select genomic aberrations specified in the studies, patients ≥ 18 years of age may be allowed to enroll in this portion of the study.
