MAC vs RIC for Transplantation in FLT3-ITD-Mutated AML Guided by UHS-NGS MRD ( FLT3 - MAC vs RIC )
Condition(s) studied
ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATIONAcute Myeloid Leukemia
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
RICMAC
RIC: 1. Flu/Bu2 or Flu/Bu3: The total dose of fludarabine is 120-180 mg/m², and the total intravenous dose of busulfan is 6.4-9.6 mg/kg.
2. Flu/Mel: The total dose of fludarabine is 120-180 mg/m², and the total dose of melphalan is 120-150 mg/m².
For the purposes of this study, Flu/Bu3 is included in the RIC group as a protocol-specified reduced-toxicity conditioning regimen.
MAC: 1. Bu4/Cy2: The total intravenous dose of busulfan is 12.8 mg/kg, and the total dose of cyclophosphamide is 120 mg/kg.
2. Bu4/Flu: The total intravenous dose of busulfan is 12.8 mg/kg, and the total dose of fludarabine is 120-180 mg/m².
3. Modified Bu/Cy regimen: For patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation, a modified Bu/Cy-based regimen incorporating cytarabine (Ara-C) could be used according to institutional protocols. The regimen consisted of Ara-C at a total dose of 4-8 g/m², intravenous busulfan at a total dose of 9.6 mg/kg, and cyclophosphamide at a total dose of 3.6 g/m².
Study summary
This is a multicenter, open-label, 1:1 randomized non-inferiority trial with stratification. The study will enroll patients aged 18-60 years with FLT3-ITD-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in first complete remission (CR1) and have no detectable FLT3-ITD measurable residual disease (MRD) by polymerase chain reaction-next-generation sequencing (PCR-NGS) before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) or myeloablative conditioning (MAC) before allo-HSCT. All patients will receive FLT3 inhibitor maintenance therapy after transplantation.
The primary objective is to determine whether RIC is non-inferior to MAC in terms of 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS), defined as the time from transplantation to relapse or death from any cause. Secondary objectives include comparisons of overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), cumulative incidence of relapse, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) between the two conditioning groups.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age between 18 to 60 years, any gender
2. Diagnosis of AML according to WHO criteria
3. Presence of FLT3-ITD mutation at diagnosis
4. In first complete remission
5. Planned first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using peripheral blood stem cells
6. Planned post-transplant maintenance therapy with a FLT3 inhibitor (including sorafenib or gilteritinib)
7. FLT3-ITD UHS-NGS MRD \< 0.001% at 14 to 28 days prior to transplantation
8. Completion of routine pre-transplant assessments; in the investigator's judgment, the patient is able to complete the conditioning regimen, stem cell infusion, and study follow-up as planned;
9. HCT-CI score of 0 to 2; in the investigator's judgment, the patient is eligible for either MAC or RIC conditioning intensity
10. ECOG performance status at 0 to 2
11. Estimated survival time ≥ 6 months
12. Major organ function meets the following requirements: ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN; Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN; subjects with Gilbert syndrome or elevated indirect bilirubin due to documented inactive hemolysis may be enrolled at the investigator's discretion; eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m², and not receiving maintenance dialysis; LVEF ≥50%, or cardiac function status determined by the investigator to be adequate to tolerate the study treatment; No requirement for high-flow oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation support at rest
13. Blood pressure is well-controlled; systolic blood pressure \<160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \<100 mmHg at rest during the screening period; if receiving antihypertensive therapy, the dosage should be essentially stable prior to randomization
14. Able to undergo assessments (including complete blood count, reticulocyte count, iron metabolism markers, adverse event monitoring, and transfusion records) as required by the protocol, and demonstrates good compliance
15. Women of childbearing potential have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test; subjects of childbearing potential and their partners are willing to use effective contraceptive measures during the study and for the specified period following the last dose
16. The subject or their legally authorized representative has signed a written informed consent form approved by the ethics committee prior to the implementation of any study-specific procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2. Achieved complete remission (CR) only after more than two cycles of induction therapy, or met the criteria for primary refractory AML
3. Clear evidence of disease progression, relapse, or a need to immediately initiate new anti-tumor therapy prior to randomization, which could significantly impact the assessment of study endpoints
4. Active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia
5. Uncontrolled severe infection prior to randomization, including but not limited to: Sepsis or septic shock; Active invasive fungal infection; Bacterial or viral infection requiring escalation of broad-spectrum anti-infective therapy where the clinical condition remains unstable; Other severe infections deemed by the investigator to make the patient unsuitable for enrollment
6. Concomitant high-risk cardiovascular or cerebrovascular conditions, including: Myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to randomization; Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other clinically significant thromboembolic events within 6 months prior to randomization; New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV heart failure; Uncontrolled severe cardiac arrhythmia; Unacceptable thrombotic risk as determined by the investigator
7. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as resting systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg despite optimized antihypertensive therapy
8. Gastrointestinal disorders significantly affecting oral drug absorption or adherence (e.g., persistent vomiting, short bowel syndrome, active severe diarrhea, or other conditions judged by the investigator to significantly affect drug exposure), or inability to tolerate post-transplant FLT3 inhibitor maintenance therapy as determined by the investigator
9. Pregnant or lactating women, or individuals unwilling to use effective contraceptive measures
10. Participation in another interventional clinical trial involving treatment with an investigational drug or device within the 4 weeks prior to randomization, where the investigator determines that such participation might interfere with the results of this study
11. Presence of uncontrolled psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment, substance abuse, or other conditions that could affect informed consent, adherence, or safety follow-up
12. Any other medical, laboratory, or social factors that, in the investigator's opinion, could increase the risk to the subject, affect study adherence, or interfere with the assessment of efficacy or safety
13. Concurrent active malignancy; exceptions include: Malignancies that have been curatively treated with no evidence of recurrence within 5 years; Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; Treated carcinoma in situ determined by the investigator to have no impact on the study
Primary outcome measure(s)
- 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS) — 2 years after randomization
Relapse-free survival is defined as the time from randomization until disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who are alive without relapse will be censored at the date of last follow-up.
