Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this Phase I study is to determine the safety and tolerability including the maximum dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of alvocidib when administered over a range of doses on Days 1-3 followed by cytarabine/daunorubicin (7+3) on Days 5-11 in adults with newly diagnosed and previously untreated AML
Detailed description
Primary Objective: • To determine the safety and tolerability including the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of alvocidib when administered over a range of doses on Days 1-3 followed by cytarabine/daunorubicin (7+3) on Days 5-11 in adults with newly diagnosed and previously untreated AML Secondary Objectives: * To observe patients for any evidence of antileukemic activity of alvocidib plus 7+3 using the 2017 ELN response criteria * To establish the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) for future studies with alvocidib in combination with 7+3 Exploratory Objective: • To assess levels of minimal residual disease (MRD) using standardized techniques (ie, multiparametric flow cytometry \[MPFC\] and next generation sequencing \[NGS\] and evaluate other potential biomarkers including, but not limited to, MCL-1 dependency.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* To be eligible for participation in the study, patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Be between the ages of ≥18 and ≤65 years 2. Have an established, pathologically confirmed diagnoses of AML by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria with ≥20% bone marrow blasts based on histology or flow cytometry 3. Be newly diagnosed and previously untreated 4. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤2 5. Have a serum creatinine level ≤1.8 mg/dL 6. Have an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≤5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) 7. Have a total bilirubin level ≤2.0 mg/dL (unless secondary to Gilbert syndrome, hemolysis, or leukemia) 8. Have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>45% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan 9. Be nonfertile or agree to use an adequate method of contraception. Sexually active patients and their partners must use an effective method of contraception associated with a low failure rate prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug. 10. Be able to comply with the requirements of the entire study. 11. Provide written informed consent prior to any study related procedure. (In the event that the patient is re-screened for study participation or a protocol amendment alters the care of an ongoing patient, a new informed consent form must be signed.)

Recruitment details
32 patients at 3 sites; Recruitment started 25Sep2017 Recruitment ended 20Mar2020
Pre-assignment details
4 dose escalation cohorts. If 1 of 3 subjects in a cohort experienced a DLT, up to 3 additional subjects were treated at that dose level. If no DLTs observed, the alvocidib dose was escalated in a new cohort of 3 subjects. At MTD level 20 additional subjects enrolled for confirmation of safety as well as additional safety analysis.
