Gilteritinib in Combination with Ivosidenib or Enasidenib for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory FLT3/IDH1 or FLT3/IDH2-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of gilteritinib when given in combination with ivosidenib or enasidenib in treating patients with FLT3/IDH1 or FLT3/IDH2-mutated acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Change (mutation) in the FLT3 gene can cause tumor cells to grow, and mutations in either the IDH1 or IDH2 genes can cause low blood cell counts. Gilteritinib targets cells that make (express) FLT3, and this targeting action may cause tumor cells to die. Ivosidenib blocks the mutated IDH1 protein and enasidenib blocks the mutated IDH2 protein, which may lead to improved blood cell counts. Giving gilteritinib and ivosidenib or enasidenib may work better in treating patients with FLT3/IDH1 or FLT3/IDH2-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.

- Patient has documentation of FLT3 and IDH1 or IDH2 mutation in bone marrow or blood at time of relapsed/refractory status confirmed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fragment length analysis within the previous 30 days by a local Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) approved test
- Patient has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-3
- Creatine clearance >= 30mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum total bilirubin =< 2.0 x ULN. Patient with leukemic organ involvement as assessed by the study investigator, must have a serum total bilirubin =< 5.0 x ULN
- Patient who has previously had an autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant for AML is allowed on study
- Female patient of childbearing potential must have had a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of initiation of dosing and must agree to use two acceptable methods of birth control while on treatment. A woman must agree to remain on a highly effective method throughout the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug. A female is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile
- Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential are eligible for participation in the study if they agree to either abstain from sexual intercourse or use a highly effective method of contraception during treatment and until the end of relevant systemic exposure defined as 6 months after final drug administration
Exclusion Criteria
- Patient has a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
- Patient on any other investigational anti-cancer agents
- Patient has active uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infection
- Patient has presence of any other condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation, and in the opinion of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the study
- Patient has immediate life-threatening, severe complications of leukemia such as uncontrolled bleeding, pneumonia with hypoxia or shock, and/or severe disseminated intravascular coagulation
- Patient has significant active cardiac disease within 6 months prior to the start of study treatment, including New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV congestive heart failure; acute coronary syndrome (ACS); and/or ischemic stroke
- Patient has left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan obtained within 28 days prior to the start of study treatment
- Patient is known to have dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other conditions that limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally
- Patient has a medical history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
- Patients with moderate to severe liver impairment defined as Child-Pugh Class B or C
- Patient has QTc interval (i.e., Fridericia’s correction [QTcF]) >= 450 ms (mean of triplicate electrocardiogram [ECG]) or other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation or ventricular arrhythmic events (e.g. family history of long QT interval syndrome). Patients with a QTcF over 450 ms due to a bundle branch block or a pacemaker may participate in the study with approval of the study principal investigator
- Patient has active graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However patients with isolated skin GVHD controlled with topical steroids are eligible to participate
- Female patient who is pregnant or lactating

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacologically optimal dose for the combination of gilteritinib plus (+) ivosidenib (Cohort 1) and gilteritinib + enasidenib (Cohort 2).
II. Determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of gilteritinib + ivosidenib (Cohort 1) and gilteritinib + enasidenib (Cohort 2).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. The objective is to determine the preliminary efficacy of the combination of gilteritinib + ivosidenib (Cohort 1) and gilteritinib + enasidenib (Cohort 2) for the first six cycles.
II. Assess the survival of participants receiving the combination of gilteritinib + ivosidenib (Cohort 1) and gilteritinib + enasidenib (Cohort 2) within one year.
III. Participant transfusion requirements.
IV. Participant febrile neutropenia incidence.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess maturation patterns of leukemic myeloblasts in responding patients as measured by immunophenotypic changes through flow cytometry and morphology.
II. Assess changes in variant allele frequencies (VAF) of IDH1/IDH2 and FLT3.
III. To describe mutational profiles of patients on the study at screening, response and at relapse, specifically evaluating loss or gain of FLT3 and/or ITD mutations.
IV. To assess 2HG (2-hydroxyglutarate) levels at baseline and following treatment.
V. To assess mechanisms of resistance using single cell analysis.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of gilteritinib, ivosidenib, and enasidenib. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.
COHORT I: Patients with FLT3/IDH1 mutations receive gilteritinib orally (PO) once a day (QD) and ivosidenib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT II: Patients with FLT3/IDH2 mutations receive gilteritinib PO QD and enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients also undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) during screening, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy during screening and on study, and collection of blood during screening and on study.
Patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 1 year.
