Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A double-blind placebo-controlled phase III randomised multi-center study with Cloretazine (VNP40101M) and Cytosine Arabinoside (AraC).

The total duration of the interventions is 3 days. This includes 3 days of AraC and one 30-60 minutes infusion of Cloretazine (VNP40101M) or placebo on Day 2 as described below:

Intervention Group:
• AraC is administered at a dose of 1.5 gm/m2/day on Days 1-3 as a continuous infusion over 24 hrs.
• Cloretazine (VNP40101M) at a dose of 600 mg/m2 is given on Day 2 over 30-60 minutes in an infusion of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP (United States Pharmacopeia).

Blinding:
The pharmacist will be unblinded. The subject, therapist, assessor and data analyst will remain blinded. An interim analysis is planned after the first 210 accrued patients.

Criteria for Re-Treatment and Consolidation:

(Glossary: Complete Response or Remission (CR).
Complete Response p (CRp) is defined as meeting all criteria for CR except recovery of platelet counts to >100,000 uL)

Patients with evidence of clinical progression are not eligible to receive additional protocol treatment. Patients without evidence of clinical progression, who have not achieved at least a CRp, may receive a second induction cycle, no earlier than day 35 and no later than day 60.

Patients who attain at least a CRp after the first or second induction cycle will be eligible for one cycle of consolidation. Consolidation should begin within 6 weeks after initial documentation of CR or CRp. Patients will receive Cloretazine (VNP40101M)/AraC or placebo/AraC according to their original assignment.

Comparator / control treatment
Control Group:
• AraC is administered at a dose of 1.5 gm/m2/day on Days 1-3 as a continuous infusion over 24 hrs.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2192 0
The primary endpoint is overall response (CR and CRp) rate (ORR).
CRp is defined as meeting all criteria for CR except recovery of platelet counts to >100,000 uL.
Timepoint [1] 2192 0
After treatment, patients will be seen at least once weekly with at least twice weekly labs until a CR or CRp, or non-response/ progression is documented.
Secondary outcome [1] 3822 0
Time-to-progression or death from any cause; duration of response; survival; and toxicity.
Timepoint [1] 3822 0
All patients enrolled in the study will enter a follow-up phase after study completion/early withdrawal. For patients who respond, data regarding disease status will be collected until recurrence for up to 3 years. Data regarding survival will also be collected for up to 3 years. Follow-up evaluations are recommended every 3 months. End of study will be defined as 3 years following enrolment of the last study patient.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients must have AML (any WHO classification excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia) in first relapse after a first CR (complete response) or CRp (meeting all criteria for CR except recovery of platelet counts to >100,000 uL) determined by bone marrow aspirates and/or biopsies that contain = 10% blasts. The duration of first CR or CRp must have been at least 3 months but less than 24 months, calculated from the day CR or CRp was documented following the initial induction regimen to the day leukemia relapse was confirmed by recurrence of blasts in peripheral blood, bone marrow histopathology and/or histological proven central nervous system (CNS) or extramedullary disease.
