Cladribine, Idarubicin, Cytarabine, and Venetoclax in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia, High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or Blastic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Biphenotypic Leukemia, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Blast Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, BCR-ABL1 Positive
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Biphenotypic Leukemia
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with a diagnosis of AML, acute biphenotypic leukemia, or high risk MDS (>= 10% blasts or International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS] >= intermediate-2) will be eligible; patients with CML in myeloid blast phase are also eligible
- For frontline cohorts (1 or 4): no prior potentially curative therapy for leukemia; prior therapy with hydroxyurea, hematopoietic growth factors, azacytidine, decitabine, tretinoin (ATRA), or a total dose of cytarabine up to 2 g (for emergency use for stabilization) is allowed; patients deemed able to receive venetoclax (ie. insurance clearance) will be assigned to frontline cohort 4; patients with secondary AML who have been treated for their antecedent myeloid neoplasm will be enrolled into the separate secondary AML cohort
- For salvage cohort: patients with previously treated, relapsed or refractory AML, acute biphenotypic leukemia, or CML in myeloid blast phase are eligible
- Bilirubin =< 2 mg/dL
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or < 5 x ULN if related to leukemic involvement
- Creatinine =<1.5 x ULN
- Known cardiac ejection fraction of >= 45% within the past 6 months
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2
- A negative urine pregnancy test is required within 1 week for all women of childbearing potential prior to enrolling on this trial
- Patient must have the ability to understand the requirements of the study and signed informed consent a signed informed consent by the patient or his legally authorized representative is required prior to their enrollment on the protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the agents used in this study have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is a potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with the chemotherapy agents, breastfeeding should also be avoided
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to active uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV), unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Patient with documented hypersensitivity to any of the components of the chemotherapy program
- Men and women of childbearing potential who do not practice contraception; women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (cladribine, cytarabine, idarubicin)
INDUCTION: Patients receive cladribine IV and cytarabine IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-5 and idarubicin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1-3. Patients with untreated AML and MDS also receive venetoclax PO on days 2-8. AML patients with known FLT3-ITD or FLT3 kinase domain mutations may receive midostaurin PO BID on days 6-19 or gilteritinib PO QD on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive cladribine IV and cytarabine IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3 and idarubicin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1-2. Patients with untreated AML and MDS also receive venetoclax PO on days 2-8. AML patients with known FLT3-ITD or FLT3 kinase domain mutations may receive midostaurin PO BID on days 6-19 or gilteritinib PO QD. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 5 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
