Interim results from a postmarketing surveillance study of patients with FLT3-mutated relapsed/refractory AML treated with the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Gilteritinib received approval for the treatment of FLT3-mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia in Japan in 2018. In accordance with regulatory requirements, we conducted a multicenter, observational surveillance of gilteritinib use in Japan.

Methods

Patients were followed for 6 months from gilteritinib treatment initiation. The primary endpoint of the surveillance was incidence of adverse drug reactions related to each element of the safety specification defined in the Japanese Risk Management Plan. This interim analysis presents data collected from 3 December 2018 to 20 September 2020.

Results

Among 204 patients with case report forms, 107 consented to data publication. Of these 107 patients, 59.8% (n = 64) were male and 58.9% (n = 63) were aged ≥65 years; most received a 120-mg/day initial (80.4%; 86/107) and maximum (74.8%; 80/107) daily dose. The discontinuation rate was 61.7% (66/107); the most common reasons for discontinuation were disease progression (18.7%), transplantation (16.8%) and adverse events (15.0%). The adverse drug reaction rate was 77.6%. The incidences of adverse drug reactions (grade ≥ 3) related to each element of the safety specification were myelosuppression, 44.9% (38.3%); liver function disorder, 24.3% (6.5%); infections, 24.3% (21.5%); prolonged QT interval, 10.3% (2.8%); hemorrhage, 9.3% (6.5%); renal dysfunction, 6.5% (0); hypersensitivity, 5.6% (1.9%); interstitial lung disease, 4.7% (3.7%); cardiac failure/pericarditis/pericardial effusion, 1.9% (0.9%); pancreatitis, 0.9% (0); posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, 0.9% (0.9%). The composite complete remission rate was 62.7%; the 6-month overall survival rate was 77.7%.

Conclusion

Gilteritinib treatment for 6 months in Japan was associated with acceptable efficacy and no new safety concerns were observed.

Project description:The phase 3 Study of ASP2215 Versus Salvage Chemotherapy in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) With FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase (FLT3) Mutation (ADMIRAL) trial demonstrated the superiority of the FLT3 inhibitor, gilteritinib, to salvage chemotherapy (SC) in patients with FLT3-mutated relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML. Baseline comutations, FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) allelic ratio and length, and treatment-emergent mutations were analyzed in patients in the ADMIRAL trial. Baseline comutations were grouped according to gene subgroups (DNA methylation/hydroxymethylation, transcription, chromatin-spliceosome, receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras signaling, TP53-aneuploidy, NPM1, DNMT3A, DNMT3A/NPM1, WT-1, and IDH1/IDH2). Across all but 1 gene subgroup (TP53-aneuploidy), higher pretransplant response rates and a trend toward longer overall survival were observed with gilteritinib vs SC. Patients with DNMT3A/NPM1 comutations who received gilteritinib had the most favorable outcomes of any molecular subgroup analyzed. Survival outcomes with gilteritinib were not adversely affected by FLT3-ITD allelic ratio, FLT3-ITD length, or multiple FLT3-ITD mutations. Among patients who relapsed on gilteritinib, Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and FLT3 F691L gene mutations were the most common mutational events associated with treatment resistance. However, the occurrence of Ras/MAPK pathway gene mutations at baseline did not preclude a clinical benefit from gilteritinib. Acquisition of multiple Ras/MAPK pathway gene mutations at relapse suggests a high level of pathway reactivation is needed to overcome the gilteritinib treatment effect. These findings provide insight into the R/R AML molecular profile and the impact of FLT3 inhibitors on mutational evolution associated with treatment resistance and benefit of gilteritinib across a wide spectrum of molecular and genetic subgroups in FLT3-mutated R/R AML. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02421939.

Project description:PurposeThe FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor gilteritinib is standard therapy for relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated (FLT3mut) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but seldom reduces FLT3mut burden or induces sustained efficacy. Gilteritinib combines synergistically with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in preclinical models of FLT3mut AML.MethodsThis phase Ib open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03625505) enrolled patients with FLT3 wild-type and FLT3mut (escalation) or FLT3mut (expansion) relapsed/refractory AML. Patients received 400 mg oral venetoclax once daily and 80 mg or 120 mg oral gilteritinib once daily. The primary objectives were safety, identification of the recommended phase II dose, and the modified composite complete response (mCRc) rate (complete response [CR] + CR with incomplete blood count recovery + CR with incomplete platelet recovery + morphologic leukemia-free state) using ADMIRAL phase III-defined response criteria.ResultsSixty-one patients were enrolled (n = 56 FLT3mut); 64% (n = 36 of 56) of FLT3mut patients had received prior FLT3 inhibitor therapy. The recommended phase II dose was 400 mg venetoclax once daily and 120 mg gilteritinib once daily. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were cytopenias (n = 49; 80%). Adverse events prompted venetoclax and gilteritinib dose interruptions in 51% and 48%, respectively. The mCRc rate for FLT3mut patients was 75% (CR, 18%; CR with incomplete blood count recovery, 4%; CR with incomplete platelet recovery, 18%; and morphologic leukemia-free state, 36%) and was similar among patients with or without prior FLT3 inhibitor therapy (80% v 67%, respectively). The median follow-up was 17.5 months. The median time to response was 0.9 months, and the median remission duration was 4.9 months (95% CI, 3.4 to 6.6). FLT3 molecular response (< 10-2) was achieved in 60% of evaluable mCRc patients (n = 15 of 25). The median overall survival for FLT3mut patients was 10.0 months.ConclusionThe combination of venetoclax and gilteritinib was associated with high mCRc and FLT3 molecular response rates regardless of prior FLT3 inhibitor exposure. Dose interruptions were needed to mitigate myelosuppression.
