About this trial

This Phase 3 study in adult participants with newly diagnosed low-risk APL will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of an oral capsule formulation of ATO, in combination with ATRA.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Informed Consent

Participants must be between 18 and under 71 years of age

Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of APL proven by standard genetic testing (t(15;17) or PML-RARA)

Participants must be classified as low- or intermediate-risk APL

Disqualifiers

Participants who have significant heart rhythm problems including long QT syndrome, serious arrhythmias, very slow heart rate, or prolonged QTc on ECG

Participants who have central nervous system leukemia

Participants having serious ongoing medical conditions or infections including uncontrolled infections, severe organ disease, or conditions that make study participation unsafe

Participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to use contraception

Treatments tested in this trial

  • QTX-2101 + ATRA

    Drug

    The experimental regimen consists of IV ATO administered once daily during induction, given continuously, for up to a maximum of 60 days. During consolidation, QTX-2101 is administered once daily, per investigator's protocol. ATRA is administered orally in two divided daily doses during induction, given continuously until bone marrow remission (not exceeding 60 days). During consolidation, ATRA is taken orally in two divided daily doses following a 2-weeks-on / 2-weeks-off schedule within each 8-week cycle.

  • IV arsenic trioxide (ATO) + ATRA

    Drug

    The comparator regimen consists of IV ATO administered once daily during induction, given continuously, for up to a maximum of 60 days. During consolidation, IV ATO is administered once daily, per investigator's protocol. ATRA is administered orally in two divided daily doses during induction, given continuously until bone marrow remission (not exceeding 60 days). During consolidation, ATRA is taken orally in two divided daily doses following a 2-weeks-on / 2-weeks-off schedule within each 8-week cycle.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maximum observed plasma (concentration (Cmax) of QTX-2101 for ASIII

Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration following administration of \[investigational product\], determined from plasma concentration-time data.

Time frame
Up to 1 cycle of consolidation therapy (each cycle is 8 weeks)
2

Molecular complete remission (molecular CR) rate

mCR is defined as the absence of detectable PML-RARA fusion transcript in bone marrow assessed by a validated quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay .The mCR rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving molecular remission at the specified assessment time point following induction and consolidation therapy.

Time frame
Up to 60 days of induction and 3 8-week cycles of consolidation treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

To characterize the safety and tolerability of QTX-2101/ATRA and IV ATO/ATRA

Treatment emergent adverse events

Time frame
Throughout approximately 10 months of study treatment
2

To characterize the event-free survival (EFS) of QTX-2101/ATRA

Time frame
Assessed for up to 3 years after the first dose of treatment, or until treatment failure (disease progression), death, or study completion, whichever occurs first
3

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of QTX-2101 for ASIII

AUC is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC₀-t) and/or extrapolated to infinity (AUC₀-∞), calculated using noncompartmental methods.

Time frame
Up to 10 months
4

To complete a model-based concentration QT relationship evaluation

Time-matched difference in change from baseline in QTcF interval between active treatment and placebo, derived from triplicate 12-lead ECGs at each post-dose time point

Time frame
Up to 10 months
