Study Endpoints

Overall Survival
Up to 5 years or duration of study

Vosaroxin + cytarabine patient survival versus placebo + cytarabine patient survival

Objective Response Rate
up to 6 months

Objective tumor response rate based on the RECIST criteria for target lesions as assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD), at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

Objective Tumor Response Rate
168 days

ORR is based on RECIST criteria to SNS-595 as a second-line therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Remission Rate Defined as the Percentage of Patients Whose Respnse is CR or CRp Based on International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria and Treatment Outcomes Definitions
2 years

Combined remission rate (complete remission \[CR\] + complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery \[CRp\]) of vosaroxin of patients ≥ 60 years old with previously untreated (de novo or secondary) AML are presented by treatment group for all treated analysis set. Per IWG criteria, a CR requires bone marrow blasts \< 5%, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1000 cells/uL, and platelet (plt) count \> 100,000 plt/uL. The criteria for CRp are the same as those for CR, except for platelet count \<= 100,000 lt/uL. Investigators were to determine a response category for each patient by examination of bone marrow and blood counts at the time of hematologic recovery after induction or reinduction. Investigator assessment categories included CR, CRp, CRi (Morphologic CR with incomplete blood count recovery), PR (partial remission), treatment failure, and relapse.

Efficacy assessments

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Vosaroxin in Combination With Decitabine
21 days

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as highest daily oral dose evaluated at which \<33% of patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A non-hematologic dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as a clinically significant grade 3 or 4 adverse event or abnormal laboratory value (according to CTCAE criteria) assessed by treating physician as related to study drug (and unrelated to disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications) occurring during the first 28 days on study. A hematologic DLT defined as severe myelosuppression with a hypoplastic marrow with less than 5% cellularity and no evidence of leukemia 42 days from start of therapy. This will define severe and delayed myelosuppression not related to persistent leukemia and likely related to treatment.

SNS-595DRUG -
SNS-595 InjectionDRUGVosaroxin (formerly voreloxin or SNS-595) is a first in class anticancer quinolone derivative, non anthracycline topoisomerase II inhibitor. It induces replication dependent DNA damage by intercalating DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, leading to apoptosis.

For Schedule A, an induction cycle was a minimum of 21 days during which patients received vosaroxin on Days 1, 8, and 15, followed by weekly observations until hematologic recovery for patients with aplastic marrow after the postinduction bone marrow assessment. For Schedules B and C, an induction cycle was a minimum of 15 days, during which patients received vosaroxin on Days 1 and 8 (Schedule B), or Days 1 and 4 (Schedule C), followed by the same weekly observations until hematologic recovery as for Schedule A.
