What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase Ib trial is to find the side effect and best dose of navitoclax when given together with venetoclax and decitabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) after previous treatment with venetoclax. Chemotherapy drugs, such as navitoclax, venetoclax, and decitabine, 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.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults and adolescents (16-18 years old, weighing at least 45 kg) with acute myeloid leukemia that has not improved or returned after treatment with venetoclax. Participants must have a stable heart function, normal blood counts, liver and kidney functions within certain limits, no severe infections like HIV or hepatitis, and agree to use birth control.

Inclusion Criteria

Fully recovered from the acute toxic effects (except alopecia) to =< grade 1 of prior anti-cancer therapy

If in the absence of anticoagulants: Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN (performed within 14 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)

Exclusion Criteria

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant within 100 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy

Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, or immunotherapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to day 1 of protocol therapy with the following exceptions:

Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers within 14 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Decitabine
• Navitoclax
• Venetoclax

Trial Overview The trial is testing the safety and optimal dosage of navitoclax in combination with venetoclax and decitabine in patients whose acute myeloid leukemia has relapsed or is refractory. These drugs aim to stop cancer cells from growing by killing them or preventing their division.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Treatment (navitoclax, venetoclax, decitabine) Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

Patients receive venetoclax PO QD and navitoclax PO QD on days 1-35, and decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 8-12 of cycle 1. Starting on cycle 2, patients receive venetoclax PO QD and navitoclax PO QD on days 1-28, and decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Decitabine is already approved in European Union, United States, Canada, Japan for the following indications:
