Evaluation of Two Dose Levels of Quizartinib as Maintenance in FLT3-ITD (+) Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Complete Remission
What this study is about
This clinical two-treatment group$1 trial is designed to evaluate two doses of quizartinib as maintenance therapy after induction/consolidation in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) who have not received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
View original scientific description
This clinical two-arm trial is designed to evaluate two doses of quizartinib as maintenance therapy after induction/consolidation in participants with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) who have not received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Interventions
DRUG
Quizartinib High Dose
Participants in Arm 1 will receive oral daily higher dose of quizartinib,
DRUG
Quizartinib Low Dose
Participants in Arm 2 will receive oral daily lower dose of quizartinib
Primary outcome measures
Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time frame: From date of first dose to 30 days after last dose, up to 87 months
TEAEs are defined as AEs with start or worsening date during the on-treatment period (from the first dose date of trial treatment to 30 days after the last dose date of trial treatment).
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Adults ≥18 years of age or the minimum legal adult age (whichever is greater) on the day of signing the ICF (no upper limit of age).
- Newly diagnosed, morphologically documented primary AML or AML secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome or a myeloproliferative neoplasm based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008/2016 classification.
- Participant has confirmed FLT3-ITD-positive (≥0.05 SR or ≥5% VAF) activating mutation from initial diagnosis in bone marrow or peripheral blood as determined by a local institution's validated molecular testing.
- Participants must have confirmed, morphologically documented CR1, on the most recent BMA, based on the local laboratory results, performed within 28 days prior to C1D1 of maintenance therapy. Complete remission will be defined as \<5% blasts in the bone marrow with no morphologic characteristics of acute leukemia (e.g., Auer Rods), no evidence of extramedullary disease, and no leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood. Complete blood count recovery is required with absolute neutrophil count of more than 1.000 × 109/L and platelets more than 100 × 109/L (IWG criteria).27
- Participant must meet the following prior therapy requirements:
- Has received at least one cycle of induction therapy but no more than two to achieve CR1. The induction cycles can be the same regimen or different regimens and may contain conventional agents only (e.g., cytarabine + daunorubicin or idarubicin: "7 + 3" or "5 + 2"), or a combination with FLT3 inhibitors.
- Has not received more than four cycles of consolidation therapy. Regimens may contain conventional agents only.
- FLT3 inhibitors are permitted as part of the induction or consolidation treatment. Participants who received FLT3 inhibitors before enrollment in the trial will need a washout period of 14 days.
- Able to begin the maintenance phase within 60 days of D1 of the last consolidation cycle received.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS of 0 to 2. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), French-American-British classification M3 or WHO classification of APL with translocation, t(15;17)(q22;q12), or BCR-ABL positive leukemia (i.e., chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis); participants who undergo diagnostic workup for APL and treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), but who are found not to have APL, are eligible (treatment with ATRA must be discontinued before starting induction chemotherapy).
- Diagnosis of AML secondary to prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for other neoplasms.
- Prior treatment for AML, except for the following allowances:
- Induction and consolidation therapy, as previously described (inclusion criterion #5)
- Leukapheresis
- Hydroxyurea to treat hyperleukocytosis
- Cranial radiotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) leukostasis
- Prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy
- Growth factor/cytokine support
- Participant had received allo-HSCT as part of AML treatment.
- Treatment with any strong or moderate CYP3A inducers within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives of randomization whichever is longer
- Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including the following:
- QTcF interval \>450 ms (based on average of triplicate ECG at Screening)
- Diagnosed or suspected congenital long QT syndrome or known family history of congenital long QT syndrome
- History of clinically relevant ventricular arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or Torsade de Pointes
- Participant has bradycardia of less than 50 beats per minute (bpm; as determined by central reading), unless the participant has a pacemaker
- History of second- or third-degree heart block. Candidates with a history of heart block may be eligible if they currently have pacemakers and have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmia with pacemakers.
- Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening
- Uncontrolled angina pectoris within 6 months prior to screening
- New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4 congestive heart failure
- LVEF ≤45% or institutional lower limit of normal
- Uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg despite optimal medical management)
- Complete left or right bundle branch block
- Severe aortic stenosis

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
