Quizartinib with Decitabine and Venetoclax

A Phase I/II Study of Quizartinib in Combination With Decitabine and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

What's the purpose of the trial?

This phase I/II trial studies how well quizartinib, decitabine, and venetoclax work in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome that is untreated or has come back (relapsed). Quizartinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and venetoclax, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving quizartinib and decitabine may work better at treating acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Experimental Treatments

Learn more about the experimental treatments being evaluated in this clinical trial.

  • Decitabine is a type of chemotherapy called a hypomethylating agent that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. 
  • Quizartinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is being studied for use in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor that may work by blocking the action of the BCL-2 protein on some cancer cells which can lead to cell death.

Quizartinib (QUIZ) with decitabine (DAC) and venetoclax (VEN) is active in patients (pts) with FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML): A phase I/II clinical trial

Overall, 28 pts were enrolled and evaluable at the time of this report. Of the 23 pts with R/R AML (median 3 [range 1-5] prior therapies, 78% with ≥1 prior FLT3i including prior gilteritinib (GILT) in 70%, and 39% had a prior ASCT), 78% achieved CRc (3 CR, 15 CRi) with 6/16 and 5/18 responders FLT3-PCR and multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) negative, respectively. Pts with RAS/MAPK mutations had the lowest response rates (Table). Interestingly, no emergent TKD mutations were noted at relapse after the triplet but 3/8 evaluable pts had emergent RAS/MAPK mutations. 60-day mortality rate was 5%. Of 5 patients with newly diagnosed AML (median age 69), all achieved CRc (2 CR, 3 CRi) with 4/5 and 2/4 responders FLT3-PCR and MFC negative, respectively. 60-day mortality was 0. 2 pts developed hematologic DLT with 40 mg/day QUIZ dose (grade 4 neutropenia with a <5% cellular BM lasting ≥42 days). Hence, QUIZ 30 mg/day dose was determined as RP2D for the triplet. Grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities included lung infections (42%) and neutropenic fever (30%). No QTcF prolongations >480 msec were noted. With a median follow-up (f/u) of 13 months, the median OS was 7.6 months in R/R cohort (1-year OS of 30%). 8/18 responding R/R pts (including 5/8 prior GILT exposed pts) underwent ASCT with a median OS of 19 vs 8 months in those who underwent ASCT versus not (p=0.26). Of the 5 frontline responding pts median OS was 14.5 months, 2 were alive in CR, 1 died in CR1 post-ASCT, 2 died due to relapsed disease at the last f/u. Conclusions: DAC + VEN + QUIZ is active in R/R FLT3-ITD mutated AML pts, with CRc rates of 78% and the median OS of 7.6 months. Interestingly, RAS/MAPK mutations but not emergent TKD mutations were associated with primary and secondary resistance to the triplet. Accrual continues, and updated clinical, NGS, and mass cytometry (CyTOF) data will be presented.
