About this trial
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and quizartinib work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that is newly diagnosed, has come back (relapsed), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, idarubicin, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Quizartinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving quizartinib with cladribine, idarubicin, and cytarabine may help to control acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of
AML (World Health Organization [WHO] classification definition of >= 20% blasts, excluding Acute promyelocytic leukemia),
Acute biphenotypic leukemia or
High-risk MDS (> 10% bone marrow blasts)
Disqualifiers
Any coexisting medical condition that in the judgment of the treating physician is likely to interfere with study procedures or results
Breastfeeding women

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Event free survival (EFS)
Will be estimate using the Kaplan-Meier method for each patient cohort. In addition, efficacy EFS will be analyzed in the intent to treat (ITT) population per cohort.
Incidence of adverse events
Defined as any clinically significant treatment-related grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity. Patient toxicity data will be summarized using frequency and percentages, by type, grade and relationship to the study drugs.
Secondary outcomes
Overall survival (OS)
Will be estimate using the Kaplan-Meier method for each patient cohort. In addition, efficacy OS will be analyzed in the ITT population per cohort.
Disease free survival (DFS)
Will be estimate using the Kaplan-Meier method for each patient cohort. In addition, efficacy DFS will be analyzed in the ITT population per cohort.
Rate of response
The rate of response will be estimated for each 28-gene panel of gene mutations for each patient cohort.
Change of FLT3 ligand level
Will also explore the change of FLT3 ligand level before and after treatment using summary statistics, by patient cohort and by other subgroups (i.e. age).
