About this trial

This clinical trial will test the safety and efficacy of combining trametinib and azacitidine in patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Newly diagnosed lower-risk JMML patients will receive trametinib and azacitidine. High-risk JMML patients will receive trametinib, azacitidine, fludarabine, and cytarabine.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Blast percentage in PB and BM < 20%

Absence of BCR::ABL1

Disqualifiers

Patients cannot have a known allergy to any of the drugs used in the study.

Patients cannot have a systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection that is exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment. The patient needs to be off pressors and have negative blood cultures for 48 hours.

Patients cannot have a plan to administer non-protocol chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy during the study period.

Patients cannot have significant concurrent disease, illness, psychiatric disorder or social issue that would compromise patient safety or compliance with the protocol treatment or procedures, interfere with consent, study participation, follow up, or interpretation of study results.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To determine the safety of combining trametinib with azacitidine for patients with newly diagnosed lower-risk JMML.

The incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) after the 1st course of therapy will be measured at different dose levels.

Time frame
At the end of the evaluation period of Cycle 1 (defined as 28 day cycle of therapy plus 30 days following the last dose of study therapy)
2

To determine the safety of combining trametinib with azacitidine (Aza), fludarabine (FLA) and cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed high-risk JMML.

The incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) after the 1st course of therapy will be measured at different dose levels.

Time frame
At the end of the evaluation period of Cycle 1 (defined as 28 day cycle of therapy plus 30 days following the last dose of study therapy)
