Study Summary

The purpose of this prospective, single-center, single-arm, exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection, standard-dose of cytarabine and venetoclax (MAV) in the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML. The study plan to enroll 20 R/R AML patients who are expected to receive laboratory tests of bone marrow and blood specimens at regular times after MAV treatment.

Study Description

For patients with R/R AML, there is currently no established standard treatment. Previous research suggests that mitoxantrone could against venetoclax-resistant leukemia stem cells (LSCs) by modulating mitochondrial calcium levels. Based on the potentially synergistic killing effect of mitoxantrone and venetoclax, a phase 2 study is underway in R/R AML. Patients receive mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome, moderate-dose of cytarabine (1.0 g/m^2, IV, q12h, d1, 3, 5) and venetoclax (MAV) when they were enrolled.

Here we also conduct an exploratory study of MAV regimen with standard-dose of cytarabine in relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MAV regimen. All participants will receive MAV treatment including 30 mg/m^2 mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome on day 1, 100 mg/m^2 cytarabine on day 1-7 and 400 mg venetoclax on day 2-10 with a dose escalation on day 2-4. Each cycle consists of 4 weeks. A maximum of 2 cycles of therapy are planned.
