Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avapritinib in relapsed or refractory pediatric core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia with KIT mutation.

Description

This is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective, and intervention trial. About 30% of core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) patients still relapse under current treatment. Some studies have found that KIT mutations, especially the D816V mutation, may predict relapse and decrease overall survival (OS) in CBF-AML. Avapritinib has been approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors with KIT or PDGFRA mutations. Avapritinib was also effective for the treatment of minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia with t (8;21) and KIT mutation failing to immunotherapy after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a single-center, retrospective report. 11 centers from China carry out the AVACBFKIT regimen including Avapritinib, hypomethylating agents and low dose chemotherapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory pediatric CBF-AML with KIT mutation. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avapritinib in the regimen.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  2. Receiving other targeted therapies for AML at the same time, such as dasatinib, sorafenib, gilteritinib, venetoclax, etc;
  3. Presence of active uncontrolled infection (including bacterial, fungal, or viral infection);
  4. Present of significant underlying organ diseases: such as myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, decompensated liver or kidney dysfunction;
  5. With other malignancies requiring treatment;
  6. Already enrolled in another interventional clinical study;
  7. The researchers determined that the individual is not suitable to participate in this trial.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
