BLAST MRD AML-1: BLockade of PD-1 Added to Standard Therapy to Target Measurable Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia 1- A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Anti-PD-1 Pembrolizumab in Combination With Intensive Chemotherapy as Frontline Therapy in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

BLockade of PD-1 Added to Standard Therapy to Target Measurable Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia 1 (BLAST MRD AML-1): A Randomized Phase 2 Study of the Anti-PD-1 Antibody Pembrolizumab in Combination With Conventional Intensive Chemotherapy as Frontline Therapy in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This phase II trial studies how well cytarabine and idarubicin or daunorubicin with or without pembrolizumab work in treating patients with newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine, idarubicin, and daunorubicin, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving induction chemotherapy with pembrolizumab may work better than induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the percentage of patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission (CR) (MRD-CR) as measured by flow cytometry at the end of first cycle of consolidation therapy with chemotherapy + MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) and compare between the two study arms. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the rate of complete remission (CR)/complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi) as defined per European LeukemiaNet 2017 response criteria at time of count recovery after induction therapy with chemotherapy + MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) (Dohner et al., 2017). II. Rates of complete remission with partial recovery count (CRh) and hematologic improvement (HI) to red blood cells and platelets. III. Assess the rates of MRD negativity at day 14, MRD-negative CR at end of induction therapy and MRD negative CR after last consolidation cycle. IV. Assess event free survival (EFS), measured from randomization to failure to achieve CR/CRi, relapse or death from any cause, and relapse free survival (RFS), calculated as the time from first documentation of CR/CRi to either disease relapse or death from any cause. V. Assess the duration of response (DOR, defined as the time from first CR/CRi to the date of the first documented relapse or death, whichever occurs first) and overall survival (OS), defined as time from randomization to death from any cause. VI. Assess safety endpoints including proportion of patients who develop severe toxicity as defined in the protocol. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. MRD assessment by duplex sequencing (DS) and comparing DS and multiparameter flow cytometry for MRD detection as an exploratory biomarker. II. Assessment of immune-checkpoint expression and dynamic change of immune cell subsets in response to the combination of checkpoint-inhibition and backbone combination in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). III. High-throughput sequencing of the T-cell receptor (TCR) Vb CDR3 regions on flow cytometrically sorted t-cell subsets to assess the effect of immunotherapy on the diversity of the t-cell repertoire and assess for correlation to clinical outcomes. IV. Investigation of protein signatures and ribonucleic acid (RNA) signatures associated with response and efficacy using O-link cytokine panel and RNA-sequencing (seq), respectively. V. Determination of mutational load by whole exome sequencing to assess for correlation with clinical outcomes, immune infiltrating profile, and T cell repertoire diversity and clonality. VI. Correlate gut microbiome at baseline and changes in the microbiome with clinical response, both in standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy/chemotherapy therapy settings. VII. MRD assessment using duplex sequencing strategy for circulating cell-free tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and correlation with long-term outcomes. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. INDUCTION PHASE: ARM I: Patients receive cytarabine via continuous intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1-7 and idarubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes or daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-3 of a 28-35 day cycle. Patients who have evidence of residual leukemia receive cytarabine via continuous IV infusion over days 1-5 and idarubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes or daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-2 for an additional cycle in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning day 8, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 25-40 minutes. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a CR or a CRi may undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) per physician discretion or continue to consolidation therapy. ARM II: Patients receive cytarabine via continuous IV infusion on days 1-7 and idarubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes or daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-3 of a 28-35 day cycle. Patients who have evidence of residual leukemia receive cytarabine via continuous IV infusion over days 1-5 and idarubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes or daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1-2 for an additional cycle in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a CR or a CRi may undergo HSCT per physician discretion or continue to consolidation therapy. CONSOLIDATION THERAPY: ARM I: Within 4 weeks of remission status documentation, patients receive high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) IV over 1-3 hours every 10-12 hours on days 1, 3, and 5 for a total of 6 doses and pembrolizumab IV over 25-40 minutes. Cycles with HiDAC repeat every 28-42 days and cycles with pembrolizumab repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who remain in CR or CRi receive up to 3 additional cycles of HiDAC and pembrolizumab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity and continue to maintenance therapy. ARM II: Within 4 weeks of remission status documentation, patients receive HiDAC IV over 1-3 hours every 12 hours on days 1, 3, and 5 for a total of 6 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who remain in CR or CRi receive up to 3 additional cycles of HiDAC in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: ARM I: Patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 25-40 minutes. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients also undergo a skin punch biopsy during screening, a bone marrow biopsy and collection of blood samples during screening and on study, an echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) during screening and on study, and an optional computed tomography (CT) scan during screening. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 6 months for up to 5 years. Patients who undergo HSCT are also followed up at 100 days post-transplant.

At time of count recovery after first cycle of consolidation therapy with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab

From randomization to failure to achieve CR/CRi, relapse or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Median RFS will be estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves with 95% confidence interval calculated based on the Brookmeyer-Crowley method

From first documentation of CR/CRi to either disease relapse or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Median DOR will be estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves with 95% confidence interval calculated based on the Brookmeyer-Crowley method.

From first CR to the date of the first documented relapse or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years

Will be assessed by duplex sequencing. Library preparation, sequencing, and analysis will be performed with TwinStrand's optimized workflow, and TwinStrand's bioinformatics core will perform all analyses related to assay output.

Will compare duplex sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry for MRD detection. McNemar's Chi-squared test for paired samples (regular duplex sequencing versus multiparameter flow cytometry and ultra-deep duplex sequencing versus multiparameter flow cytometry) will be used to compare the MRD measures.

Will assess immune cell subsets and correlate with response to combine chemotherapy and anti PD-1 directed therapy using mass cytometry. All data will be analyzed and graphs generated using the DVS Cytobank software (Cytobank). Will also measure CD47 levels on leukemic blasts prior to and after chemotherapy and pembrolizumab application to see whether CD47 expression levels correlate with responders versus non-responders and whether expression levels change at different times of therapy. Statistical analyses of the frequency of CD8 positive (+), CD4+, Foxp3 T regulatory cells (Tregs), CD8+/Foxp3+ Tregs, central memory effector (TCM)/ memory cells that re-express CD45RA (TEMRA), effector memory (TEM)/TEMRA, the percentage of Ki67 and GzmB in PD-1+, Eomes+ CD8 T-cells to compare changes over time from baseline to several time-points will be performed by using mixed effects modeling with a Benjamini-Hochberg correction to control for false discovery rates.

An association of clinical response with the expression of PD-L1 acute myeloid leukemia bone marrow cells will be assessed by a Pearson Chi-square test on a 2 x 2 table of frequencies. The dependent variable will be defined as response (yes versus no), and quantitative immunofluorescence categories (negative versus positive) will be the independent variables. Will also monitor the dynamic change of PD-L1 expression over the course of treatment and its correlation with clinical response. Longitudinal measurements of PD-L1 will be examined using mixed-effects modeling.

Will use massively parallel sequencing technology to sequence the genomic DNA of tumor cells (leukemic bone marrow) and normal cells (germline) obtained from patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Mutational load by whole-exome sequencing will be correlated with clinic-pathological parameters such as response to treatment, survival and immune infiltrating profile, and T cell repertoire diversity and clonality.

Will investigate protein signatures associated with response and efficacy using the Olink inflammation biomarker panel.

Will be assessed using either the Agilent 4200 TapeStation and High Sensitivity RNA ScreenTape or the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and RNA 6000 Pico Chip. Either method will employ the region analysis method to determine the percentage of RNA in the sample that is > 200 nt for each sample to be processed.

Will perform high-throughput sequencing of the TCR V beta CDR3 regions on flow cytometrically sorted T-cell subsets to assess the effect of immunotherapy on the diversity of the T-cell repertoire and assess for correlation to clinical outcomes. TCR diversity and clonality will be calculated using a software by Adaptive Technologies. T-cell repertoire diversity and clonality will be correlated with clinic-pathological parameters such as response to treatment, survival, and immune infiltrating profile, as well as genomic profiles (total mutation burden, non-synonymous mutation burden, predicted neoantigen burden, clonal mutation burden and clonal predicted neoantigen burden). TCR profile generated from treatment-refractory tumors at the time of disease progression will be compared to data from pre-treatment tumor samples to explore the TCR repertoire evolution of these tumors under therapeutic pressure.

Inclusion Criteria: Newly diagnosed and pathologically-confirmed AML, confirmed by a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy and/or peripheral blood with >= 20% myeloid blasts. Bone marrow biopsy, or aspirate or peripheral blood that were obtained up to 3 weeks before signing consent are allowed for purposes of confirming AML diagnosis for eligibility purposes. Secondary AML (that is arising from prior myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS]/AML, therapy-related [t]-AML) are also allowed. AML arising from myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), MPN/MDS overlap (including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia [CMML]) or another malignancy are NOT allowed. Note 1: Patients must have evidence of bone marrow involvement on aspirate or biopsy. Patients with only extramedullary disease and no bone marrow involvement will be excluded. Note 2: Every effort should be made to get an aspirate for central flow assessment at screening and all subsequent required time points, but in cases where an aspirate cannot be collected-including dry taps-the patient will not be excluded and assessments will be performed on peripheral blood (PB) which should be collected at every time that bone marrow (BM) is collected. Note 3: Some patients with AML require initiation of therapy quickly after diagnosis, and full metaphase karyotype results in some centers can take 2-3 weeks to result. To avoid this issue being an impediment to accrual to study or to cause delays in initiation of therapy in patients who need fast initiation of therapy, we allow use of karyotype and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results (as well as FLT3 results) on samples from blood or marrow that were obtained up to 3 weeks before signing consent for purposes of eligibility and stratification. In any case, results from FISH or karyotype should show if CBF abnormalities are present by time of randomization as the presence of core-binding factor (CBF) abnormalities is a required stratification factor. Age > = 18 and =< 75 years Because no dosing or AE data are currently available on the use of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< -2 The patient has to be eligible to receive intensive "7+3" induction chemotherapy as judged by the treating physician Prior use of hypomethylating agents (HMA), lenalidomide, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), and growth factors is allowed if used to treat prior MDS. AML must be previously untreated except as outlined below (hydroxyurea, or tretinoin [ATRA], or leukapheresis). Note: One dose of prophylactic intrathecal therapy is allowed during or before screening if a lumbar puncture is performed to rule out central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Hydroxyurea/leukapheresis allowed for control of hyperleukocytosis but hydroxyurea must be discontinued day prior to start of chemotherapy Creatinine =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) OR measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) >= 60 mL/min for patient with creatinine levels > 1.5 x institutional ULN (within 3 days prior to the first day of 7+3) Creatinine clearance (CrCl) should be calculated per institutional standard Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN or direct bilirubin =< ULN for patients with total bilirubin levels > 1.5 x ULN (within 3 days prior to the first day of 7+3) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3 x ULN OR =< 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases (within 3 days prior to the first day of 7+3) International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) =< 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (within 3 days prior to the first day of 7+3) Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (within 3 days prior to the first day of 7+3) Patients with a known history of being human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive may participate IF they meet the following eligibility requirements: They must be stable on their anti-retroviral regimen, and they must be healthy from an HIV perspective Patients must have an undetectable HIV viral load Patients with a known history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured.

A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (=< 2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-central nervous system (CNS) disease Patients currently participating and receiving study therapy or have participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment are ineligible History of hypersensitivity to MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) or any of its excipients, or other agents used in this study Current use of corticosteroids EXCEPTION: Low doses of steroids (< 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent dose of other steroid) used for treatment of non-hematologic medical condition (e.g., chronic adrenal insufficiency) is permitted Patients who underwent prior allogenic transplant Patients with a known history of hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) who are not on appropriate suppressive therapy Patient with a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator Patient with known active CNS disease and/or carcinomatous meningitis before study enrollment. Assessment of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) as per investigator judgement. Up to one dose of prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy is allowed prior to study enrollment is not required to enroll in the study unless there is clinical suspicion for CNS involvement. However, if CSF assessment is performed for any reason, there should be no evidence of active leukemia in the CSF. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of protocol treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to protocol treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability Patients with active autoimmune disease except for patients with hypothyroidism and vitiligo that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).

Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with MK-3475 (pembrolizumab). These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study Patient who have received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy NOTE: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed Active hemolytic anemia requiring immunosuppressive therapy or other pharmacologic treatment. Patients who have a positive Coombs test but no evidence of hemolysis are NOT excluded from participation Patients with clinically significant disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), which cannot be managed with supportive care including transfusions, as assessed by treating physician, will be excluded from study Patients with no bone marrow involvement will be excluded (i.e., those with only extramedullary disease) Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia will be excluded
