Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical benefit of ASP2215 therapy in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were refractory to or had relapsed after first-line AML therapy as shown with overall survival (OS) compared to salvage chemotherapy, and determined the efficacy of ASP2215 therapy as assessed by the rate of complete remission and complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CR/CRh) in these participants. This study also determined the overall efficacy in event-free survival (EFS) and complete remission (CR) rate of ASP2215 compared to salvage chemotherapy.
Detailed description
Participants considered an adult according to local regulations at the time of signing informed consent participated in this study. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive ASP2215 or salvage chemotherapy. Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Prior to randomization, a salvage chemotherapy regimen was pre-selected for each participant; options included low-dose cytarabine (LoDAC), azacitidine, mitoxantrone, etoposide, and intermediate-dose cytarabine (MEC), or fludarabine, cytarabine, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with idarubicin (FLAG-IDA). The randomization was stratified by response to first-line therapy and pre-selected salvage chemotherapy. Participants were administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles. After treatment discontinuation, participants had a pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)/end-of-treatment visit within 7 days after treatment discontinuation, followed by a 30-day follow-up for safety, in which a telephone contact with the participant was sufficient unless any assessment had to be repeated for resolution of treatment-related adverse events (AEs). After that, long term follow-up was done every 3 months up to 3 years from the participant's end-of-treatment visit.

| Change From Baseline in Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) | Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 8 and Cycle 2 Day 1 | The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) was a screening tool designed to assess the severity and impact of fatigue on daily functioning of participants with cancer during the 24 hours. There are 9 items on the scale. The first three questions asked participants to rate their fatigues on a scale from 0 (no fatigue) - 10 (as bad as you can imagine), with higher scores indicating worse outcome. The remaining six questions asked participants to rate how much fatigue has interfered with their daily activities on a scale from 0 (Does not interfere) to 10 (Completely interferes). A global fatigue score can be obtained by averaging all the items on the BFI. The total score range is 0-10 with a higher BFI fatigue score indicates worse outcome. The global BFI score was calculated only if at least 5 of the 9 items are answered. |
| Percentage of Participants With Complete Remission (CR) Rate | From the date of randomization up to at least 6 months | The CR rate was defined as the number of participants who achieved the best response of CR divided by the number of participants in the analysis population.

Participant flow
Recruitment details
Participants were recruited from approximately 140 centers in North America, Europe, Asia and the rest of the world and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive gilteritinib or salvage chemotherapy. Participants had FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations and relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after first-line therapy.
Pre-assignment details
Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Prior to randomization, the investigator preselected a salvage chemotherapy for each participant. The randomization was stratified by response to first-line AML therapy and preselected salvage chemotherapy. Treatment was given over continuous 28-day cycles.
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Gilteritinib Participants received 120 mg dose (3 tablets of 40 mg) orally once a day in continuous 28-day cycles, at least 2 hours after or 1 hour before food. Gilteritinib treatment continued until participants met one of the treatment discontinuation criteria. After the end of treatment period, participants were allowed to enter long-term follow up period for up to 3 years for collection of subsequent AML treatment, EuroQol Group-5 Dimension-5 Level Instrument (EQ-5D-5L), remission status and survival (cause of death and date of death). Participants continuing to derive clinical benefit from gilteritinib as assessed by the investigator were allowed to continue the study treatment until a discontinuation criterion was met or if they had completed more than 3 years of treatment. | 247 |
| Salvage Chemotherapy Participants received chemotherapy in 28-day cycles. Participants on Low-Dose Cytarabine (LoDAC) received 20 mg of cytarabine twice daily by subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) injection for 10 days. Participants on azacitidine received 75 mg/m\^2 daily by SC or IV injection for 7 days. Participants on LoDAC or azacitidine treatment continued until they met discontinuation criteria. Participants on mitoxantrone, etoposide and intermediate-dose cytarabine (MEC) chemotherapy received mitoxantrone 8 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 5 days, etoposide 100 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 5 days and cytarabine 1000 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 5 days (days 1-5). Participants on fludarabine, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with idarubicin (FLAG-IDA) chemotherapy received granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) 300 μg/m\^2 daily by SC/IV for 5 days (days 1-5), fludarabine 30 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 5 days (days 2-6), cytarabine 2000 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 5 days (days 2-6) and idarubicin 10 mg/m\^2 daily by IV for 3 days (days 2-4). Participants receiving MEC or FLAG-IDA received 1 cycle of therapy and were assessed for response on or after day 15.

Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause (death date - randomization date + 1). For a participant who was not known to have died by the end of study follow-up, OS was censored at the date of last contact (date of last contact - randomized date + 1). The date of last contact was the latest date that the participant was known to be alive. The last contact date was derived for participants alive at the analysis cutoff date. Survival rate and 95% CI were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Greenwood formula.
Time frame: From randomization to until the date of death from any cause (median time of follow-up for OS was 17.8 months)
Population: The analysis population was the Intention to Treatment (ITT) which consisted of all randomized participants.

Change From Baseline in Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)
The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) was a screening tool designed to assess the severity and impact of fatigue on daily functioning of participants with cancer during the 24 hours. There are 9 items on the scale. The first three questions asked participants to rate their fatigues on a scale from 0 (no fatigue) - 10 (as bad as you can imagine), with higher scores indicating worse outcome. The remaining six questions asked participants to rate how much fatigue has interfered with their daily activities on a scale from 0 (Does not interfere) to 10 (Completely interferes). A global fatigue score can be obtained by averaging all the items on the BFI. The total score range is 0-10 with a higher BFI fatigue score indicates worse outcome. The global BFI score was calculated only if at least 5 of the 9 items are answered.
Time frame: Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 8 and Cycle 2 Day 1
Population: The analysis population was the ITT, with participants with data at baseline.
