Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial in Los Angeles, CA

About This Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study in Los Angeles

This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study "Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1)." The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negativ

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Adults, age ≥60 yrs at diagnosis unless in a specific known cytogenetic \& genomic group for which treatment in Group A, B, or C is allowed by the substudy where age 18+ is allowed. Patients \<60 yrs who are screened but do not fall w/in the cytogenetic \& genomic open substudies would still be followed on the M1 Master Protocol (MP) \& not considered screen fails

Patients must be able to understand \& provide written informed consent

Group A: Patients must have previously untreated AML according to WHO classification w/ no prior treatment other than hydroxyurea. Patients w/ myeloid malignancies \[eg, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other disease\], will be allowed to enroll to this group. For previously untreated subjects w/ ≥20% blasts in bone marrow or blood only: Prior therapy for MDS, myeloproliferative syndromes (MPD), or aplastic anemia is permitted. For select group, patients who cannot wait or choose not to wait for results of genomic testing, will be allowed to enroll to select substudies that allow enrollment \& treatment of all patients regardless of their genomic mutations or cytogenetics. For this group, genomic samples will be collected to be analyzed retrospectively after patients' enrollment

Group B: Patients must have relapsed or refractory AML according to WHO classification. For study purposes, refractory AML is defined as failure to ever achieve a complete response (CR) or recurrence of AML w/in 6 months of achieving CR; relapsed AML is defined as all others w/ disease after prior remission. For select genomic aberrations specified in substudies, patients ≥18 yrs may be allowed to enroll in this portion of the study. Patients w/ relapsed or refractory myeloid malignancies (eg, MDS or other diseases) will be allowed to enroll to this group

Group C: For select sites not part of Beat AML core sites. These sites will only participate in select substudies. Patients in this group will enroll under the Beat AML M1 MP w/ the intent to enroll into these select substudies \& following screening on Beat M1 MP, they will come off M1 MP
