Treatment for newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with CEBPA double mutations

A Prospective, Multicenter, Single Arm Clinical Study to Evaluate Efficacy of HAD Induction With Intensified Cytarabine in Newly-diagnosed CEBPA Double Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phase 2 Interventional Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China · NCT04415008

This study is testing a new treatment plan for people with newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who have specific genetic mutations to see if it helps them stay cancer-free longer.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment regimen combining homoharringtonine, cytarabine, and daunorubicin (HAD) in patients with newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have CEBPA double mutations. A total of 40 patients will receive the HAD induction regimen, followed by high-dose cytarabine after achieving complete remission. The study will assess event-free and relapse-free survival as primary endpoints, while also exploring genetic mutations and measurable residual disease (MRD) at diagnosis and post-chemotherapy. Risk stratification based on genetic factors and MRD will be investigated to optimize treatment outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are newly-diagnosed AML patients aged 14 to 55 years with CEBPA double mutations and an ECOG performance status of 0-2.

Not a fit: Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for remission induction or have secondary AML or other malignancies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve survival rates and reduce relapse in patients with CEBPA double mutated AML.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is being tested in this specific context, similar treatment regimens have shown promise in improving outcomes for AML patients, particularly those with specific genetic mutations.
