Idarubicin and cytarabine in combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (IAGO) for untreated patients with high-risk MDS or AML evolved from MDS: a phase II study from the EORTC and GIMEMA Leukemia Groups (protocol 06013).

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this trial was to assess the feasibility, toxicity profile, and antitumor activity of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) combined with a chemotherapy remission-induction regimen in adults with untreated high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). In this phase II trial, 30 patients with median age of 58 years received 1 day of GO as a 1-h infusion at the dose level of 5 mg/m(2) on day 7 of the remission-induction course further consisting of a continuous infusion of cytarabine 100 mg/m(2)/day for 10 days and idarubicin 12 mg/m(2)/day on days 1, 3, and 5. A consolidation course, consisting of intermediate-dose cytarabine (A) and idarubicin (I) followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was planned for patients in complete remission (CR). The primary endpoints were response rate (CR/CRi) and severe toxicity rate. The secondary endpoint(s) were survival and progression-free survival (PFS) from start of treatment. Thirteen patients (43 %) achieved CR (eight patients) or CR with incomplete hematopoietic recovery (CRi) (five patients). In patients who achieved CR or CRi, the median time to recovery of neutrophils to 0.5?×?10(9)/l and of platelets to >50?×?10(9)/l was 29 and 30 days, respectively. Grade 3 to 4 severe toxicities occurred in nine patients. The most prominent was liver toxicity, as shown by elevated bilirubin levels in 16 patients and one case of nonfatal veno-occlusive disease (VOD). All 13 patients with CR/CRi received consolidation therapy, which was followed by allogeneic HSCT in five patients and autologous HSCT in three patients. According to the statistical design of the study, the idarubicin and cytarabine in combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (IAGO) regimen did not show sufficient activity to warrant further exploration of this regimen in adult patients with HR-MDS or sAML.

Project description:BackgroundBased on the results from the ALFA-0701 study, gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) has been approved by the European Medicine Agency and by the Italian Drug Agency for the first line treatment of de novo acute-myeloid leukemia (AML). In this analysis, we assessed the cost-effectiveness of GO in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA), vs DA alone, adopting the perspective of the Italian National Health Service.MethodsFor this analysis, a cohort state transition model was developed. The model was designed to capture health states and events that occur throughout the entire disease course and that impact costs and outcomes. The ALFA-0701 study was the main source of clinical data for this analysis. In the model, patients had the same baseline characteristics and experienced the same clinical improvements as in the ALFA-0701 study. Economic data (resource consumption and unit costs) were adapted to reflect expenditure for the Italian National Health Service. Utilities per health state and disutilities due to adverse events were based on the literature and on the general population for those functionally cured. A lifetime horizon was adopted, with both costs and outcome being discounted of 3.0%, annually. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of results.ResultsIn the base case (lifetime horizon; primary source of data: study ALFA-0701; perspective: Italian National Health Service; discount rate on costs and outcomes: 3.0%), GO + DA was more effective DA both in terms of life-year (LY) survival (6.42 LY vs 5.75 LY, respectively) and quality-of-life adjusted survival (4.69 QALY vs 4.19 QALY, respectively). The overall costs were almost similar in the two groups (slightly lower with GO + DA than with DA; €162,424 and €162,708, respectively). The use of GO increased the costs of drug therapy but saved costs of relapse and costs associated with transplantation (HSCT).ConclusionsIf results of the ALFA-0701 study are applied to the Italian healthcare environment, then gemtuzumab ozogamicin, in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine, would clinical outcomes and reduce lifetime costs, compared with daunorubicin and cytarabine alone for the first line treatment of de novo AML.Trial registrationNot applicable.
