Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
From cycle 1 day 8, until 14 days after cycle 1 day 28 (up to 42 days)

Will be summarized using the proportion and exact binomial confidence interval. DLTs will be summarized at each dose level by severity and major organ site according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0.

Secondary Endpoints

Rate of composite complete remission (cCR)
From cycle 1 day 1, until blood cell count recovery after induction (day 25-42)
Duration of remission (DOR)
Date of first response (>= immune complete remission) till date of documented relapse assessed up to 2 years from last dose of study intervention
Event-free survival (EFS)
From cycle 1 day 1, until date of primary refractory disease, progression, relapse, or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years from last dose of study intervention

ArmTypeDescription
Treatment (cytarabine, daunorubicin, pemigatinib)EXPERIMENTALINDUCTION: Patients receive cytarabine IV on days 1-7, daunorubicin IV on days 1-3, and pemigatinib PO QD on days 8-21 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with hematologic count recovery (assessed between days 25-42) after induction proceed to consolidation therapy. Patients undergo ECHO during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients undergo blood sample collection and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy during screening and cycle 11 day 21 on study. CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive high dose cytarabine IV BID on days 1, 3, and 5 of each cycle, and pemigatinib PO QD on days 8-21 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression of unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO as clinically indicated and blood sample collection and bone marrow biopsy and aspirate at the end of consolidation.

Frequently asked questions about Daunorubicin

What is Daunorubicin used for in Acute Myeloid Leukemia?

Daunorubicin is a small molecule being studied for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, meaning it is investigational and has not been approved for this use. The drug is being evaluated in combination with other therapies for newly diagnosed AML patients.

Who makes Daunorubicin?

Daunorubicin is being developed by Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol INCY. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

What phase is Daunorubicin in?

Daunorubicin is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This is an early stage of testing, and the drug is still investigational. It has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities, and further clinical trials are needed to determine its safety and effectiveness.

What clinical trials is Daunorubicin in?

Daunorubicin is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT04659616. This trial is titled 'Pemigatinib After Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia' and is currently recruiting participants in the United States. The trial is uncontrolled and not blinded, with an enrollment of 32 patients.

Is Daunorubicin FDA approved?

Daunorubicin is not FDA approved for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, which means it is still being tested for safety and efficacy. The drug is investigational and has not yet received regulatory approval for this indication.
