Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, M3814, to the Usual Treatment (Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Cytarabine) for Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (NCT03983824)
A Phase 1 Study of M3814 in Combination With MEC in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of M3814 when given in combination with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). M3814 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mitoxantrone and cytarabine, 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. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Giving M3814 in combination with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine may lower the chance of the acute myeloid leukemia growing or spreading.

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients must not have had prior treatment with MEC
- Patients must not have documented active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by leukemia. Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events (AEs)
- Patients must not have received any other investigational or commercial agents or therapies administered with the intention to treat their leukemia within 14 days or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is shorter) of first receipt of study drug, with the exception of hydroxyurea and/or leukapheresis used to control white blood cell counts
- Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant medications or herbal supplements that are strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 during treatment with M3814. Concomitant use of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4/5 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index are also excluded during treatment with M3814. Patients may confer with the study doctor to determine if alternative medications can be used. The following categories of medications and herbal supplements must be discontinued for at least the specified period of time prior to the first dose of M3814:
- Strong inducers of CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19: \>= 3 weeks or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of M3814
- Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19: \>= 1 week or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of M3814
- Substrates of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4/5 with a narrow therapeutic index: \>= 1 day prior to the first dose of M3814
- Concomitant use of histamine-2 (H2)-blockers or proton pump inhibitors should be avoided as these might affect absorption of M3814; administrations have to be discontinued at least 5 days or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of M3814. Antacid drugs should not be taken 1 hour before and until 2 hours after M3814 administration
- Patients receiving sorivudine or any chemically related analogues (such as brivudine) are excluded
- Patients who require oral or parenteral anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents for therapeutic purposes (including coumadin and warfarin), or who received such agents within 5 days or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is shorter) of the first dose of M3814. Low and high-molecular weight heparins are permitted provided the platelets are maintained at greater than 30,000/mm\^3
- Patients with ongoing active infection or who have received a live attenuated vaccine within 30 days of dosing with M3814
