Summary

The AML18 Pilot Trial will evaluate the feasibility of three interventions that are planned to be included in the forthcoming NCRI AML18 Trial. One intervention will be to evaluate combining the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor AC220 with three courses of standard DAE (Daunorubicin, Ara-C, Etoposide). AC220 will be given following each treatment course, daily by mouth for 7, 14 or 21 days. AC220 will be evaluated at 3 dose levels of 60, 90 and 135 mg flat dose. A 4th dose level of 40 mg will be introduced should patients not respond well to 60 mg. The second intervention to be tested is the combination of the CXCR4 inhibitor Plerixafor with up to three courses of the chemotherapy combination of DClo (Daunorubicin, Clofarabine). Patients/investigators will be able to choose which intervention to enter. Depending on recruitment requirements, only one intervention might be available at any one time. The third intervention Patients will receive 3 treatments of 100 mg of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.

Conditions

  • Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
  • High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Interventions

DRUG

Plerixafor

Fixed dose of Plerixafor (240mcg/kg) given by subcutaneous injection on each day of chemotherapy for up to 3 courses (depending on cohort). The three chemotherapy courses will be Daunorubicin/Clofarabine for courses 1\&2 and Daunorubicin/Ara-C for course 3. Each course will last 5 days, and Plerixafor will be given for 5 days.

DRUG

AC220

Each cohort of patients will receive three courses of chemotherapy approximately 4 to 5 weeks apart which will comprise of Daunorubicin/Ara-C/Etoposide in Courses 1\&2 and Daunorubicin/Ara-C in Course 3. Two days after the last day of each chemotherapy course, patients will receive AC220 orally for 7, 14 or 21 (depending on cohort) consecutive days. Depending on which cohort the patient enters, they will receive either 60mg, 90mg or 135mg of AC220 daily, with a provision to assess 40mg if necessary.

DRUG

Ganetespib

Patients will receive 3 treatments of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.
