Study Summary

Treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy has remained an area of high unmet medical need. The combination therapy with two medicines, azacitidine and venetoclax, is the usual plan of action. This has brought significant progress in the treatment, but it nevertheless is not curative and the disease does relapse over time.

Revumenib blocks a specific molecule called menin in the cell nucleus. Some types of AML are reliant on menin working properly. These are leukemia cells with a change in the DNA, i.e. a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. Revumenib can prevent the production of these types of leukemia cells by disrupting the production of this menin.

The current study investigates whether adding revumenib to the combination therapy improves the prognosis for AML patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study where subjects will be treated until disease progression, or development of side effects or death. From the moment of inclusion of the last patient, there will be a 4-year observational follow-up study in order to register survival duration and follow-up visits.

Approximately 415 previously untreated patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene and with newly diagnosed AML, who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients must be ≥18 years of age.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a patient must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Patient with newly diagnosed NPM1-mutated AML, consistent with NPM1c, according tothe 2022 International Consensus Classification (i.e. ≥ 10% blasts). OR Patient with newly diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged AML according to the 2022International Consensus Classification (i.e. ≥ 10% blasts). KMT2A partial tandemduplications or deletions are NOT eligible. Of note: in case both NPM1 and IDH1 are mutated and both EVOLVE-1 (HO173) andEVOLVE-2 (HO177) are open for inclusion at your site, then patients can only beincluded in the EVOLVE-1 trial (HO173)

  2. Central confirmation of NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement in one of the dedicatedcentral genetic laboratories.

  3. Age ≥ 18 years, no upper age limit.

  4. Patient is ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy by meeting at least 1 ofthe following criteria:

  • ≥ 75 years of age: ineligible for intensive chemotherapy per physician'sdiscretion (with an ECOG performance status 0-2) .

  • 18-74 years: patient is not eligible for standard chemotherapy because any ofthe following co-morbidities: o ECOG performance status 2 or 3 .

  • Cardiac history of chronic heart failure requiring treatment; or with anejection fraction ≤50%; or chronic stable angina.

  • DLCO ≤ 65% or FEV1 ≤ 65%.

  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min to <45 ml/min calculated by the CockcroftGault formula.

  • Moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin > 1.5 to < 3.0 x upperlimit of normal (ULN).

  • Any other comorbidity that the local physician assesses to be incompatiblewith intensive chemotherapy must be reviewed and approved by the Sponsor's (co-) Principal Investigator (written approval must be sent toHO177@erasmusmc.nl before study enrolment).

  1. Patient must have a projected life expectancy of at least 12 weeks (as assessed bythe treating physician).

  2. Patient must have a white cell blood (WBC) count of < 25 x 109/L. Hydroxyurea can beused prior to study enrolment to reduce the WBC count to meet this criterion.

  3. Adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 × upper limit of norm (ULN) or creatinine clearance >30 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault glomerularfiltration rate (GFR).

  4. Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by:

  • Serum total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN unless considered due to Gilbert's disease,or leukemic involvement following written approval by the sponsor (Co-)Principal Investigator (copy in HO177@erasmusmc.nl).

  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkalinephosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3.0 × ULN, unless considered due to leukemic involvementfollowing written approval by the sponsor (Co-)Principal Investigator (copy inHO177@erasmusmc.nl).

  1. Female patient must:
  • be of nonchildbearing potential:o postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses).o documented surgically sterile (e.g. documented hysterectomy, bilateraloophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or congenital sterile) or status posthysterectomy (at least 1 month prior to screening).

  • or, if of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile and notpostmenopausal) agree to avoid pregnancy during the study and for 6 monthsafter the final study drug administration.o and have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening.o and, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently apply one highlyeffective* method of birth control in combination to a barrier method for theduration of the study and for 6 months after the final study drugadministration. *Highly effective forms of birth control include

  • Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives thatinhibit ovulation for at least 1 month prior to taking study drug. (hormonal contraception is only a highly effective method of birthcontrol, if a combined [estrogen and progestogen containing] hormonalcontraception or a progestogen-only hormonal contraception - bothassociated with inhibition of ovulation - is used.

  • Established intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)

  • Bilateral tubal occlusion

  • Vasectomy - a vasectomy is highly effective contraception method providedthe absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highlyeffective method of contraception should be used.

  • Male is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy.

  • Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if definedas refraining from heterosexual activity during the entire period of riskassociated with the study drug. The reliability of sexual abstinence needsto be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and thepreferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. List is not all inclusive. Prior to enrolment, the investigator is responsible forconfirming patient will utilize highly effective forms of birth control incombination with a barrier method according to locally accepted standards during theprotocol defined period.

  • agree not to breastfeed starting at screening and throughout the study period.

  • agree not to donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period,and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

  1. Men must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearingpotential (WOCBP), even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy and must agreeto avoid to father a child (while on therapy and for 6 months after the final studydrug administration). In addition, their female partners of childbearing potentialmust use a highly effective method of birth control.

  2. Male patient must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the studyperiod and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

  3. Able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent form (ICF).

  4. Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee-approved written informedconsent as per national regulations must be obtained from the patient prior to anystudy-related procedures (including consent for withdrawal of prohibited medication,if applicable).
