Comparing New Treatments for People With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia That Has an IDH2 Gene Change (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)
Purpose
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help more patients with the IDH2 gene get rid of AML. ASTX727 is a fixed-dose formulation of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Enasidenib works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells that have the IDH2 mutation. Giving ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib may work better in treating AML patients with the IDH2 mutation.

receptor agonist, lenalidomide, luspatercept, immunosuppressive therapy, intrathecal
chemotherapy, cytarabine (up to 1 g/m^2 for the purpose of cytoreduction for
hyperleukocytosis/trial eligibility), and/or leukapheresis, with a maximum limit of
1 month of exposure.
- Note: White blood cell (WBC) must be < 25 x 10^9/L prior to start of treatment.
Hydroxyurea, leukapheresis, and cytarabine ≤ 1g/m^2 are permitted to control
the WBC prior to enrollment and initiation of protocol-defined therapy but must
be stopped prior to initiation of protocol therapy.

eligible for cytarabine-based induction therapy
- Participants must have Zubrod Performance Status of 0-3 as determined by a history

infant by any means, including from the breast, milk expressed by hand, or pumped).
Individuals who are of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective
contraceptive method with details provided as a part of the consent process. A
person who has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months or who
has semen likely to contain sperm is considered to be of "reproductive potential."
In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also
includes refraining from sexual activity that might result in pregnancy and surgery
intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention)
including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion,
and vasectomy with testing showing no sperm in the semen
- Participants must be able to swallow and retain oral medications and have no known
gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of oral medications
- Participants with central nervous system (CNS) involvement are eligible if follow-up
CNS evaluation shows no evidence of progression, or if the treating physician
determines that immediate CNS specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to
be required during the first cycle of therapy
- Participants must have agreed to have specimens submitted for translational medicine
for MRD under MYELOMATCH and specimens must be submitted
- Enrollment to this treatment study requires prior enrollment into the
myeloMATCH Master Protocol (MYELOMATCH). Participants enrolled in MYELOMATCH
will submit bone marrow samples, peripheral blood samples, and buccal swabs to
the Molecular Diagnostics Network (MDNet), the Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Act (CLIA) laboratory network for myeloMATCH
- In addition to the MYELOMATCH specimens, there will be specimens obtained on
treatment for this substudy. These specimens will be derived from procedures
performed as part of standard assessments in the clinical care and management
of AML with material being sent to the MDNet laboratories as specified.
Therefore, participants must be asked for their consent for the biobanking of
specimens for future unspecified research. Participants may refuse this, but it
is mandatory for sites to ask participants
- Participants must be offered the opportunity to participate in specimen banking
- NOTE: As a part of the Oncology Patient Enrollment Network (OPEN) registration
process the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that the
current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study
has been entered in the system
- Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and
must sign and give informed consent in accordance with institutional and
federal guidelines. For participants with impaired decision-making
capabilities, legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed
consent on behalf of study participants in accordance with applicable federal,
local, and Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB) regulations

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety of decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) + venetoclax + enasidenib (Arm 2) before initiating randomization. II. To compare the rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission with or without partial hematologic recovery (complete remission [CR] or complete remission with partial hematologic recovery [CRh]) based on multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) after two cycles of treatment in older adults (or unfit adults age 18 or older) with IDH2 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who receive ASTX727, venetoclax, and enasidenib versus ASTX727 and venetoclax alone. III. If the rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) negative CR+CRh is significantly higher on the ASTX727, venetoclax, and enasidenib arm compared to the ASTX727 and venetoclax arm, to hierarchically evaluate whether the measurable residual disease (MRD) negative CR rate is different between the randomized arms. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the rate of composite remission (CR + complete remission with incomplete count recovery [CRi] + complete remission with partial hematologic recovery [CRh]), relapse-free survival (RFS), event-free survival (EFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) of participants by treatment arm. II. To estimate IDH2 mutated variant allele frequency, flow cytometry MRD, and molecular MRD after two cycles of therapy in participants' bone marrow aspirates and blood by treatment arm. III. To estimate remission rates (CR with and without MRD [MFC and molecular MRD], CRh and CRi), and to estimate the rates of hematologic improvement by treatment arm. IV. To estimate the frequency and severity of adverse events by treatment arm. V. To evaluate the association between MFC and molecular MRD after two cycles of protocol treatment with the outcomes RFS and OS (landmarked by date of MRD measurement) by treatment arm. BANKING OBJECTIVE: I. To bank specimens for future correlative studies. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM 1: Patients receive ASTX727 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 and venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM 2: Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD on days 1-5, venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28, and enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo blood sample collection, bone marrow aspiration, and bone marrow biopsy throughout the trial. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every month for the first year, every 2 months for the second year, every 3 months for the third year, and every 6 months until 5 years after registration or death.
