View original scientific description
This pivotal phase 2/3, multi-center, adaptive design study of L-Annamycin for Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection as second line therapy for remission induction in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed AML is divided into two parts, Part A and Part B.
Interventions
DRUG
Placebo in combination with Cytarabine Injection
placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, i.e., the diluent for L-Annamycin for Injection) for three consecutive days in combination with 2.0 g/m2/day Cytarabine Injection for five consecutive days.
DRUG
Liposomal Annamycin Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection
190 mg/m2/day L-Annamycin for Injection for three consecutive days in combination with 2.0 g/m2/day Cytarabine Injection for five consecutive days.
DRUG
Liposomal Annamycin Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection
230 mg/m2/day L-Annamycin for Injection for three consecutive days in combination with 2.0 g/m2/day Cytarabine Injection for five consecutive days.
DRUG
Liposomal Annamycin for Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection.
optimal dosage regimen (as determined in Part A) of L Annamycin for Injection (190 mg/m2/day or 230 mg/m2/day) for three consecutive days in combination with 2.0 g/m2/day Cytarabine Injection for five consecutive days (i.e., the same as Treatment Arm 2 or 3, respectively, of Part A).
Primary outcome measures
Part A -Determination of Optimal Dosage Regimen
Time frame: From initiation of the first randomized treatment cycle until the first post treatment bone marrow assessment, assessed up to Day 49
1\. To identify the optimal dosage regimen of L Annamycin for Injection (190 versus 230 mg/m2/day) in combination with Cytarabine Injection (2.0 g/m2/day) as second line therapy for remission induction in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as measured by rate of complete remission (CR) after one treatment cycle.
Part B - Expansion at Optimal Dosage Regimen
Time frame: From initiation of the first randomized treatment cycle until the first post treatment bone marrow assessment, assessed up to Day 49
To confirm the superior efficacy of the optimal dosage regimen of L-Annamycin for Injection in combination with Cytarabine Injection (determined in Part A) versus placebo in combination with Cytarabine Injection as second line therapy for remission induction in adult subjects with refractory/relapsed AML as measured by rate of CR after one treatment cycle
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
- Has a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AML per the 2022 International Consensus Classification (ICC) as adopted in the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2022 recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AML. The tests and procedures used to establish the diagnosis of AML should be consistent with the ELN's 2022 recommendations 2. Has refractory/relapsed AML after having received only one prior line of therapy\*. \*A prior line of therapy will be defined as the planned therapy consisting of one or more cycles of episodic treatment or a defined period of continuous treatment. This may consist of single-agent or combination therapy as well as a planned sequence of treatment phases. For example, first-line treatment of AML with induction, consolidation, and alloHSCT is considered one line of therapy. A line of therapy ends when the patient fails to achieve a response within a prespecified period (refractory) or relapses after achieving CR. For the purpose o

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.
