Participants must be able to travel easily to study sites or have access to alternative (local) hospitals/clinics that can provide appropriate care in case of emergency needs.
9. Criterion modified as per Amendment 3/EEA-1
9.1 Concurrent enrollment in another anticancer therapeutic investigational clinical study, and use of any other investigational medicinal product (IMP) within five times the half-life of the IMP/ relevant metabolites.
10. Criterion modified as per Amendment 5/EEA-2

19. Participants with co-mutations (eg, IDH1) for which there are approved targeted therapies in the front-line setting, unless they do not have access to, or are ineligible for, the targeted therapy.
Trattamento sperimentale:
I partecipanti effettueranno un incremento graduale di 3 giorni di venetoclax (100, 200 e 400 mg) a partire dal Giorno 1 del Ciclo 1 fino a una dose orale finale di 400 mg una volta al giorno durante il primo ciclo di trattamento di 28 giorni e, successivamente, nei cicli successivi. L’azacitidina 75 mg/m2 per via sottocutanea o endovenosa sarà somministrata dal Giorno 1 al Giorno 7 di ciascun ciclo di 28 giorni (è accettabile uno schema posologico alternativo). A partire dal Giorno 4 del Ciclo 1 (+3 giorni), i partecipanti riceveranno bleximenib o placebo (compressa da 50 o 100 mg) somministrato per via orale due volte al giorno (BID) durante il primo ciclo di 28 giorni e in seguito nei cicli successivi. Il trattamento continuerà fino a progressione della malattia o tossicità inaccettabile.
Trattamento di controllo:
-
Obiettivi primari dello studio:
L’obiettivo primario è determinare se l’aggiunta di bleximenib a VEN+AZA migliori significativamente i duplici endpoint primari del tasso di CR o dell’OS rispetto a VEN+AZA nei partecipanti con LMA di nuova diagnosi con KMT2Ar o NPM1m non eleggibili alla chemioterapia intensiva. Saranno valutate la PK di bleximenib e la sicurezza complessiva.
Obiettivi secondari dello studio:
Gli endpoint secondari includono EFS, durata della CR, tempo alla CR, tasso di CRMRD, indipendenza dalle trasfusioni, tasso di allo-HSCT e variazione rispetto al basale delle sottoscale EORTC QLQ-C30 e FACT-Leu.
