In plain English

This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) that has either an NPM1 gene change or a KMT2A gene rearrangement. It tests whether adding a new drug, revumenib, to the standard combination of azacitidine and venetoclax helps patients who cannot have intensive chemotherapy. The trial is run by Stichting Hemato-Oncologie voor Volwassenen Nederland.

Who can take part

  • Adults aged 18 or over, with no upper age limit
  • Newly diagnosed AML with either an NPM1 mutation or a KMT2A rearrangement, confirmed by a central genetic laboratory (KMT2A partial tandem duplications or deletions are not included)
  • Not able to have intensive chemotherapy, for example because of age (75 or over), or other health problems such as heart, lung, kidney or liver conditions
  • A life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, as judged by the treating doctor
  • A white blood cell count below a set level (hydroxycarbamide may be used to bring it down)
  • Well enough kidney and liver function on blood tests
  • Able and willing to give informed consent
  • For those who can become pregnant or father a child: agreement to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose

Who may not be able to

  • Previous treatment for AML (hydroxycarbamide to control white cell counts, and some prior treatments for a bone marrow condition called MDS, are allowed)
  • Acute promyelocytic leukaemia, or AML with BCR-ABL1, or blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia
  • Significant heart problems within the past 3 months, such as severe heart failure, heart attack, unstable angina or serious abnormal heart rhythms

  • Signs of leukaemia in the brain or spinal cord
  • Active uncontrolled infection, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV
  • Immediate life-threatening complications of leukaemia, such as uncontrolled bleeding
  • Conditions that stop the body taking in oral medicines
  • Another current cancer (with some exceptions such as certain skin cancers)
  • Live vaccines within 30 days before joining the study
  • Severe neurological or psychiatric problems that make giving informed consent difficult
  • A reason why azacitidine or venetoclax cannot be used safely
  • Weighing under 40 kg
  • Taking part in other studies of leukaemia or experimental medicines
  • Taking certain medicines that interact with the study drugs, unless they can be switched
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study

About This Trial

Treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy has remained an area of high unmet medical need. The combination therapy with two medicines, azacitidine and venetoclax, is the usual plan of action. This has brought significant progress in the treatment, but it nevertheless is not curative and the disease does relapse over time. Revumenib blocks a specific molecule called menin in the cell nucleus. Some types of AML are reliant on menin working properly. These are leukemia cells with a change in the DNA, i.e. a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. Revumenib can prevent the production of these types of leukemia cells by disrupting the production of this menin. The current study investigates whether adding revumenib to the combination therapy improves the prognosis for AML patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study where subjects will be treated until disease progression, or development of side effects or death. From the moment of inclusion of the last patient, there will be a 4-year observational follow-up study in order to register survival duration and follow-up visits. Approximately 448 previously untreated patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene and with newly diagnosed AML, who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients must be ≥18 years of age.

(hormonal contraception is only a highly effective method of birth control, if a combined \[estrogen and progestogen containing\] hormonal contraception or a progestogen-only hormonal contraception - both associated with inhibition of ovulation - is used. \- Established intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) \- Bilateral tubal occlusion \- Vasectomy - a vasectomy is highly effective contraception method provided the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be used. \- Male is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy. * Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual activity during the entire period of risk associated with the study drug. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. List is not all inclusive.
