HOVON 156 Treatment with Gilteritinib or Midostaurin in combination with intensive chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or previously untreated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS-EB2) with FLT3 mutation.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The aim of this study is to improve the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome with an increased number of leukemia cells (MDS-EB2). We now want to investigate the efficacy and safety of Gilteritinib in combination with chemotherapy compared to Midostaurin with chemotherapy in patients with AML or MDS-EB2 and a FLT3 mutation, who have not yet been treated for this disease and are eligible for chemotherapy. We want to find out whether the disease can be controlled more effectively and for a longer duration by administering Gilteritinib instead of Midostaurin in chemotherapy. This Phase III study will be conducted as an international, multicenter, randomized study. A total of 768 patients will be included in the study, of which approximately 50 patients in Switzerland. The duration of the study is planned for about 13 years. The study drugs Midostaurin and Gilteritinib already have market authorization for the treatment of AML with a FLT3 mutation: - Midostaurin in the EU and Switzerland - Gilteritinib in the USA and Japan (not yet authorized in Switzerland)
(BASEC)
Intervento studiato
- The individual treatment lasts a total of about 18 months. As part of this study, participants will be observed over a period of 10 years after the start of the study.
- Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups before the treatment begins: with Midostaurin or with Gilteritinib.
- The first phase of treatment, called induction therapy, consists of two consecutive cycles with different forms of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be either combined with Midostaurin or with Gilteritinib.
- After the first phase, it will be assessed whether the second phase (consolidation therapy) can be performed. There are three possible treatments:
• Chemotherapy in combination with Midostaurin or Gilteritinib
• Chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation using the patient's own stem cells
• Chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation using donor stem cells
- In the third phase of treatment, the maintenance therapy, participants will take Midostaurin or Gilteritinib for over a year.
- Before, during, and after the study, the health status of the participants will be regularly examined. At the control visits, blood samples will be taken for laboratory tests and possibly further examinations. Bone marrow examinations will be performed regularly. On one hand, to assess the response to the medications and on the other hand, to determine the further treatment.

Gender: All
Maximum age: N/A
Minimum age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age =18 years
- Newly diagnosed AML or MDS with excess of blasts-2 (EB2) defined according to WHO
criteria (appendix A), with centrally documented FLT3 gene mutation (either TKD or
ITD or both). AML may be secondary to prior hematological disorders, including MDS,
and/or therapy-related. Patients may have had previous treatment with erythropoiesis
stimulating agents (ESA) or hypomethylating agents (HMAs) for an antecedent phase of
MDS. ESA and HMAs have to be stopped at least four weeks before registration.
- FLT3 mutation as assessed by DNA fragment analysis PCR for FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD
mutation. Positivity is defined as a FLT3-ITD or FLT3-TKD / FLT3-WT ratio of = 0.05
(5%).
- Considered to be eligible for intensive chemotherapy
- Patient is suitable for oral administration of study drug
- WHO/ECOG performance status = 2
- Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by
- Serum total bilirubin = 2.5 ? upper limit of normal (ULN) unless considered due
to leukemic involvement following written approval by the (co) Principal
Investigator
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline
phosphatase (ALP) = 3.0 ? ULN, unless considered due to leukemic involvement
following written approval by the (co) Principal Investigator
- Adequate renal function as defined by creatinine clearance > 40 mL/min based on the
Cockroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
- Written informed consent
- Patient is capable of giving informed consent
- Female patient must either:
- Be of nonchildbearing potential:
- Postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses) prior to
screening, or
- Documented surgically sterile or status posthysterectomy (at least 1 month
prior to screening)
- Or, if of childbearing potential,
- Agree not to try to become pregnant during the study and for 6 months
after the final study drug administration
- And have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening
- And, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently use highly effective*

- Highly effective forms of birth control include:
- Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives
that inhibit ovulation,
- Established intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS),

additional highly effective method of contraception should be used.)
- Male is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy.
- Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if
defined as refraining from heterosexual activity during the entire
period of risk associated with the study drug. The reliability of
sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration
of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
patient.
- (*)List is not all inclusive. Prior to enrollment, the investigator is
responsible for confirming patient will utilize highly effective forms of
birth control per the requirements of the CTFG Guidance document
'Recommendations related to contraception and pregnancy testing in
clinical trials', September 2014 (and any updates thereof) during the
protocol defined period.

- Male patient must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study
period and for 4 months and 1 week after the final study drug administration.
- Patient agrees not to participate in another interventional study while on treatment
