Vosaroxin + cytarabine patient survival versus placebo + cytarabine patient survival
Efficacy assessments
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.
Defined as the highest dose of vosaroxin that results in a DLT in =\< 1 of 6 patients graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0
Maximum tolerated dose of vosaroxin for short IV infusion in INT-2 or high-risk MDS
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.

Vosaroxin is an investigational small molecule being developed by Viracta Therapeutics, Inc. (ticker VIRX) for blood cancers. It is a Phase 3 oncology candidate studied in acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. It has been evaluated both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies such as cytarabine and azacitidine.
Vosaroxin is being studied for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. Clinical trials have enrolled patients with newly diagnosed AML, high-risk MDS, and MDS with excess blasts-2, including older adults and patients whose disease progressed after hypomethylating agent therapy.
Vosaroxin is developed by Viracta Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker VIRX. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating vosaroxin in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.
Vosaroxin is in Phase 3 development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA. The clinical program includes completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials, and the overall development effort has involved randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designs with biomarker-selected patient populations.
Vosaroxin has been studied in completed trials including NCT03338348, which tested vosaroxin with azacitidine in newly diagnosed AML or MDS with excess blasts-2 in Germany, and NCT01980056, which evaluated vosaroxin in intermediate-2 or high-risk MDS after hypomethylating agent failure. Other completed studies include NCT01913951 with azacitidine in MDS and NCT01893320 with decitabine in older AML and high-risk MDS patients.
