Tamibarotene Plus Venetoclax/Azacitidine in Participants With Newly Diagnosed AML

Brief Summary
Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with a type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia, or AML for short. Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with AML whose cancer has a specific genetic abnormality characterized by the overexpression of the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene. This genetic profile is found in about 3 of every 10 people with AML.

During the trial, tamibarotene will be given with 2 other drugs that are already used together to treat people who have AML and who cannot start treatment with standard chemotherapy.
Brief Title
Tamibarotene Plus Venetoclax/Azacitidine in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Detailed Description
This study consists of 3 parts. In Part 1, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine combination will inform the appropriate tamibarotene dose to be combined with the standard of care (SOC) venetoclax/azacitidine in Part 2 and Part 3. In Part 2, participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine or venetoclax/azacitidine to compare the clinical activity of the 2 combinations. In Part 3, tamibarotene will be added to the venetoclax/azacytidine regimen of a subset of Part 2 participants who experience progressive disease, relapse after initial complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) response, or treatment failure.

Eligibility Criteria
Note: all inclusion/exclusion criteria should be met prior to the first dose of venetoclax/azacitidine on Cycle 1 Day 1 with the exception of the RARA-biomarker test result referenced in inclusion criterion 2, which should be positive by Cycle 1 Day 8 to continue treatment on study.

Inclusion Criteria:

* All participants must have obtained a blood sample for RARA biomarker investigational assay testing prior to starting treatment on Cycle 1 Day 1.

* Participants must have newly diagnosed, previously untreated non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) AML with a bone marrow or peripheral blood blast count ≥20% and must be unlikely to tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy at the time of Cycle 1 Day 1 Visit due to age, performance status, or comorbidities based on at least one of the following criteria:

* age ≥75 years old, or
* age \<75 years old, with at least one of the following:

* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 3
* cardiac history of congestive heart failure (CHF) or documented ejection fraction (EF) ≤50%

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants have APL.
* Participants have known active central nervous system involvement with AML.
* Prior treatment (before Cycle 1 Day 1) for the diagnosis of AML, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or antecedent hematologic malignancy with any hypomethylating agent, venetoclax, chemotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with the exception of prior treatment with hydroxyurea.

Tamibarotene in Combination With Venetoclax and Azacitidine in Previously Untreated Adult Patients Selected for RARA-positive AML Who Are Ineligible for Standard Induction Therapy
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that developed or worsened in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. A TEAE was any untoward medical occurrence associated with use of a study drug/study participation, whether or not considered related to study drug after first dose. TEAEs were defined as those adverse events AEs with onset after the first dose of study treatment or existing events that worsened after the first dose during the study up until the last dose of study treatment plus 30 days. A summary of serious and non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in 'Reported Adverse Events module'.
