Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin With G-CSF, Cladribine, Cytarabine & Mitoxantrone for Untreated AML & High-Grade Myeloid Neoplasm
Acute Myeloid Leukemia

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of untreated "high-grade" myeloid neoplasm (≥ 10% blasts in blood or bone marrow) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) other than acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification; outside diagnostic material is acceptable to establish diagnosis; submission of peripheral blood specimen for flow cytometry performed at the study institution should be considered; diagnostic material must have been submitted for cytogenetic and/or molecular testing as clinically appropriate
- Medically fit, as defined by treatment-related mortality (TRM) score ≤13.1 calculated with simplified model
- The use of hydroxyurea prior to study registration is allowed; patients with symptoms/signs of hyperleukocytosis or white blood cells (WBC) > 100,000/uL can be treated with leukapheresis or may receive up to 2 doses of cytarabine (up to 500 mg/m^2/dose) prior to enrollment
- Patients may have received low-intensity treatment (e.g. azacitidine/decitabine, lenalidomide, growth factors) for antecedent low-grade myeloid neoplasm (i.e. < 10% blasts in blood and bone marrow)
- Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN) unless elevation is thought to be due to hepatic infiltration by AML, Gilbert's syndrome, or hemolysis (assessed within 14 days prior to study day 0)
- Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (assessed within 14 days prior to study day 0)
- Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 45%, assessed within 12 months prior to study day 0, e.g. by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiography, or other appropriate diagnostic modality and no clinical evidence of congestive heart failure
- Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
- Provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Myeloid blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), unless patient is not considered candidate for tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment
- Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of < 1 year
- Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection, unless disease is under treatment with anti-microbials, and/or controlled or stable (e.g. if specific, effective therapy is not available/feasible or desired [e.g. known chronic viral hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]); patient needs to be clinically stable as defined as being afebrile and hemodynamically stable for 24 hours; patients with fever thought to be likely secondary to leukemia are eligible
- Known hypersensitivity to any study drug
- Confirmed or suspected pregnancy or active breast feeding
- Treatment with any other investigational anti-leukemia agent; in phase 2, treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for patients with FLT3-mutated AML is permissible

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (GO, GCLAM)
INDUCTION THERAPY: Participants receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV either as a single dose on day 1, or as three doses on days 1, 4, and 7. Participants also receive G-CSF SC on days 0-5, cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV on days 1-3. Patients who do not achieve a CR or CRi following the first cycle of induction are eligible for a second cycle, which is given without gemtuzumab ozogamicin. Participants with a CR or CRi may then proceed to Post-Remission Therapy. POST-REMISSION THERAPY: Participants receive G-CSF, cladribine, and cytarabine as in Induction Therapy during cycle 1, and cytarabine IV every 12 hours on days 1-6 of cycles 2-3. Treatment repeats every month for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
