Brief summary
This study enrolled 472 participants, aged 55 or older, with a diagnosis of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or AML secondary to prior myelodysplastic disease or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and who have achieved first complete remission (CR)/ complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following induction with or without consolidation chemotherapy. The study is amended to include an extension phase (EP). The EP allows participants who are currently receiving oral azacitidine and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine after unblinding by sponsor until the participant meets the criteria for study discontinuation or until oral azacitidine becomes commercially available and reimbursed. In addition, all participants in the placebo arm and participants who had been discontinued from the treatment phase (irrespective of randomization arm) and continuing in the follow-up phase will be followed for survival in the EP.
Detailed description
This is an international, multicenter, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study with a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group design in subjects with de novo AML or AML secondary to prior diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) aged ≥ 55 years, who are in first CR/CRi following induction therapy with or without consolidation chemotherapy. The study consists of 3 phases; the pre-randomization phase (screening phase), the treatment phase, and the follow-up phase. The study is amended to include an extension phase (EP). The EP allows participants who are currently receiving oral azacitidine and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine after unblinding by sponsor until they meet the criteria for study discontinuation or until oral azacitidine becomes commercially available and reimbursed. In addition, all participants in the placebo arm and participants who had been discontinued from the treatment phase (irrespective of randomization arm) and continuing in the follow-up phase will be followed for survival in the EP.
Interventions
300 mg oral azacitidine on days 1 to 14 of each 28-day treatment cycle.
Identically matching placebo tablets on days 1 to 14 of each 28-day treatment cycle.

| Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Time to Relapse | From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 06 August 2024; approximately 135.5 months | Time to relapse was defined as the interval (in months) from the date of randomization to the date of documented relapse. Estimates of relapse rate were based on the cumulative incidence function from a competing risk analysis with death as a competing risk for relapse from complete remission (CR)/ complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi). Documented relapse was defined as, the earliest date of the following: • ≥ 5% bone marrow blasts (myeloblasts) from Central Pathology report, or • appearance of \> 0% blasts in the peripheral blood with a later bone marrow confirmation (bone marrow blast \[myeloblasts\] ≥ 5%) within 100 days, or • at least 2 peripheral blasts ≥ 5% within 30 days. |
| Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Time to Discontinuation From Treatment | From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 06 August 2024; approximately 135.5 months | Time to discontinuation from treatment was assessed and defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of discontinuation from study drug. Participants who were receiving treatment at the time of study closure were censored at the date of last visit. Estimates of relapse rate were based on the cumulative incidence function from a competing risk analysis with death as a competing risk for relapse from CR/ CRi. |
| Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) | From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 06 August 2024; approximately 135.5 months | TEAEs include AEs that started between first dose date and 28 days after the last dose of study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) is: • Death • Life-threatening event • Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • Persistent or significant disability or incapacity • Congenital anomaly or birth defect • Other important medical event The severity of AEs were assessed by the investigator according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0: Grade 1 (Mild): asymptomatic/mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 (Moderate): minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care Grade 4: Life-threatening; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death due to AE. |
| Mean Change in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT-Fatigue Scale V 4.0) Score From Baseline | From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 06 August 2024; approximately 135.5 months | The functional assessment of chronic illness therapy (FACIT-Fatigue Scale V 4.0) is a subscale of the FACIT-F and has been validated in the oncology setting. The FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a short, 13-item, self-administered tool that measures the level of fatigue in an individual during usually daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue is measured on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = not at all; 4 = very much. The scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating less fatigue. If there were missing items, but the participant answered at least 50% of the items, then subscores were prorated. |
| Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Relapse Free Survival (RFS) | From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 06 August 2024; approximately 135.5 months | RFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of documented relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who were still alive without documented relapse, or who were lost to follow-up or withdrew consent without documented relapse, were censored at the date of their last bone marrow assessment, prior to receiving any other therapy for AML. Documented relapse was defined as the earliest date of the following: • ≥ 5% bone marrow blasts (myeloblasts) from Central Pathology report, or • appearance of \> 0% blasts in the peripheral blood with a later bone marrow confirmation (bone marrow blast \[myeloblasts\] ≥ 5%) within 100 days, or • at least 2 peripheral blasts ≥ 5% within 30 days. |

The EQ-5D-3L is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 5 questions, pertaining to specific health dimensions (ie, mobility, self-care, pain, usual activities, and anxiety/depression) and a health status scale. Each question has 3 levels of severity, corresponding to no problems, moderate problems and severe problems. Canadian population sample weights were used to derive health utility scores. A higher utility score represents a better health state. A clinically meaningful improvement or worsening was defined as at least 0.08 points of improvement or 0.10 points of worsening from baseline, respectively, for the EQ-5D-3L Health Utility Index. The EQ-5D-3L is scored using the UK index ranges from -0.594 to 1, where 0 equates to death and 1 equates to full health; -0.594 is considered 'worse than death'. |

Each question has 3 levels of severity, corresponding to no problems, moderate problems and severe problems. Canadian population sample weights were used to derive health utility scores. A higher utility score represents a better health state. A clinically meaningful improvement or worsening was defined as at least 0.08 points of improvement or 0.10 points of worsening from baseline, respectively, for the EQ-5D-3L Health Utility Index. The EQ-5D-3L is scored using the UK index ranges from -0.594 to 1, where 0 equates to death and 1 equates to full health; -0.594 is considered 'worse than death'.
Time frame: From day 1 (randomization) up to data cut off date of 15 July 2019; approximately 74 months
Population: The Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) evaluable population was defined as the ITT participants with a non-missing EQ-5D-3L score at baseline (C1D1) and at least one post-baseline visit. Results are presented for each post-baseline visit with sample size ≥ 25 in both arms. Death was censored at the date of the last HRQoL assessment visit.

| Oral Azacitidine Plus Best Supportive Care | Time to Definitive Clinically Meaningful Deterioration for ≥ 2 Consecutive Visits as Measured Using the EQ-5D HRQoL Scale | NA Weeks |
| Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care | Time to Definitive Clinically Meaningful Deterioration for ≥ 2 Consecutive Visits as Measured Using the EQ-5D HRQoL Scale | NA Weeks |
