Brief summary

This phase 2 trial studies how well ixazomib(MLN9708) works in treating study participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Determine the best response including complete remission (CR), CR with incomplete recovery (CRi), and partial remission (PR) after 3 cycles of treatment with MLN9708 (ixazomib) in participants with nucleophosmin (NPM)1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (following the LeukemiaNet1 guidelines for response criteria). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * Determine the duration of remission in all responders after treatment with MLN9708 defined as the time of documented remission until relapse. * Determine the 1 year overall survival, which will be measured from time of study entry to the earlier of death from any cause or end of follow up at 1 year. * Establish toxicity and tolerability of MLN9708 treatment in AML, including non-hematologic toxicities grade 3 or above as specified by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. OUTLINE: Participants receive ixazomib orally (PO) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Exclusion criteria

* Female patient who are lactating or have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period * Major surgery within 14 days before enrollment * Radiotherapy within 14 days before enrollment; if the involved field is small, 7 days will be considered a sufficient interval between treatment and administration of MLN9708 * Known active and uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) involvement of leukemia (a lumbar puncture does not need to be performed as a part of screening) * Have a significant uncontrolled infection active infection * Have other severe concurrent disease or serious organ dysfunction involving the heart, kidney, liver or other organ system that may place the patient at undue risk to undergo treatment including uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months * Systemic treatment, within 14 days before the first dose of MLN9708, with strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily A, polypeptide 2 (CYP1A2) (fluvoxamine, enoxacin, ciprofloxacin), strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) (clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, voriconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, posaconazole) or strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of Ginkgo biloba or St. John's wort * Known ongoing or active systemic infection, active hepatitis B or C virus infection, or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive * Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of MLN9708 including difficulty * Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years before study enrollment or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual disease; patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection; this does not preclude previous diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome * Patient has ≥ grade 3 peripheral neuropathy, or grade 2 with pain on clinical examination during the screening * Participation in other clinical trials, including those with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 21 days of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial * Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR)9 weeksOverall response rate after 3 cycles of treatment (9 weeks) was assessed as complete remission (CR); CR with incomplete recovery (CRi); and partial remission (PR) with MLN9708, in participants with NPM1-mutated AML by LeukemiaNet1 guidelines: Although achievement of complete remission (CR) has unique clinical significance for improved overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) compared to achievement of CRi with incomplete platelet recovery, the latter is still a clinically meaningful response, as it is independently-superior to resistant disease. Partial remission (PR) is defined as meeting all hematologic criteria for CR with an allowance for 5% to 25% bone marrow blasts or decrease of pre-treatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%. Stable disease is defined as a change in bone marrow aspirate blast count within 10% of baseline. Relapsed disease is defined as reappearance of blasts in the blood or bone marrow blasts

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DOR)1 yearDuration of response (DOR) in participants with complete remission (CR) was defined as the period of time from documented complete remission through relapse or death, with relapse defined as reappearance of blasts in the blood or bone marrow blasts, after documented CR. DOR was to be assessed through at least 1 year follow-up.
Overall Survival (OS)1 yearOverall survival (OS) from time of study entry to the earlier of death from any cause or end of follow up at 1 year
Serious Adverse Events Related to Ixazomib1 yearIxazomib toxicity and tolerability were assessed based on the non-hematologic toxicities ≥ Grade 3 determined to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the study agent Ixazomib. Adverse events that are possibly, probably, or definitely related to the study agent are considered toxicities. The outcome is reported as the overall number of non-hematologic toxicities ≥ Grade 3.

Duration of Response (DOR)

Duration of response (DOR) in participants with complete remission (CR) was defined as the period of time from documented complete remission through relapse or death, with relapse defined as reappearance of blasts in the blood or bone marrow blasts, after documented CR. DOR was to be assessed through at least 1 year follow-up.

Time frame: 1 year

Population: No participants met the criteria of complete remission (CR), and so duration of response (DOR) in those participants could not be assessed.
