Phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Study of Bleximenib, Venetoclax and Azacitidine for the Treatment of Participants with Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia Harboring KMT2A Rearrangements or NPM1 Mutations who are Ineligible for Intensive Chemotherapy
Trial Description
The purpose of this study is to assess how bleximenib and Venetoclax (VEN)+ Azacitidine
(AZA) works as compared to placebo and VEN+AZA alone for the treatment of participants
with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A
gene.
Eligibility Requirements
Inclusion criteria:
- Be 18 years of age or older at the time of informed consent
- Previously untreated lysine N-methyltransferase 2A gene rearranged (KMT2Ar) or
nucleophosmin 1 gene mutated (NPM1m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with greater than
or equal to (> or =) 10% bone marrow blasts per 2022 international Consensus
Classification criteria
- Ineligible for intensive chemotherapy based on the following criteria: a) >= 75
years of age and ineligible per physician's discretion, with Eastern Cooperative
Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2, b) >=18 to <75 years of age with >=
1 of the following comorbidities: i) ECOG performance status of 2, ii) Severe
cardiac disorder, iii) Severe pulmonary disorder, iv) Renal impairment, v) Moderate
hepatic impairment vi) Comorbidity that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the
participant unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy, which must be documented before
enrollment as defined in the protocol. Ineligibility for intensive chemotherapy
should be explicitly approved by a multidisciplinary team in countries in which this
process is standard of care

- Must sign an informed consent form indicating that the participant understands the
purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in
the study
Exclusion criteria:

attack within 6 months of randomization
