Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study of alisertib (MLN8237) in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called alisertib (MLN8237). Alisertib is being tested to treat people who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study looked at the antitumor activity in people who received alisertib. The study enrolled 57 patients. Participants were categorized by disease sub-types AML and MDS. Participants received: • Alisertib 50 mg All participants took alisertib capsules every 12 hours each day for 7 days followed by a 14-day rest period in 21-day cycles for approximately 26 cycles. This multi-center trial was conducted in North America and France. The overall time to participate in this study was until there is evidence of disease progression or unacceptable treatment-related toxicity. The participant could continue treatment beyond 12 months if it was considered by the Sponsor and the Investigator that they would derive benefit from continued alisertib treatment. Participants had weekly blood work and clinic visits, with disease assessments every 2 cycles (ie. every 6 weeks) up to and including Cycle 16. Reduced visits (every 12 weeks) were conducted for participants tolerating treatment beyond Cycle 16 and for participants off treatment without disease progression.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Deaths

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event. Relationship of each AE to study drug was determined by the Investigator.

Time frame: First dose of study drug to 30 days after last dose (Up to 18.9 months)

Population: Safety population was defined as all participants who received any amount of alisertib.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from the date of first study drug administration to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death.

Time frame: Baseline and every 2 cycles up to Cycle 16 (up to Month 12), from Cycle 17 every 4 cycles until disease progression, after end of treatment every 12 weeks for up to 12 Months (Approximately 2.4 years)

Population: Response-Evaluable Population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of alisertib and had at least 1 post-baseline response assessment. For a participant that has not progressed and has not died, PFS is censored at the last response assessment that is SD or better.

ArmMeasureValue (MEDIAN)
Alisertib 50 mg (Acute Myeloid Leukemia)Progression Free Survival (PFS)55.0 days
Alisertib 50 mg (Myelodysplastic Syndrome)Progression Free Survival (PFS)38.0 days
