Summary

This trial is testing an experimental drug, ASP2215 (gilteritinib), on patients recently diagnosed with AML. AML is cancer of the bone marrow where abnormal white blood cells are produced. The trial will compare the effects of ASP2215 with the standard of care treatment, azacitidine (Vidaza®), on patients' overall survival.

Who is the study for?
Adults recently diagnosed with AML and a FLT3 gene mutation, who can't have standard chemo. They must be over 18 (or over 65 in some cases), not suitable for intensive chemotherapy due to age or health issues like heart failure, poor kidney function, or low performance status. Participants need functioning major organs and agree to contraception if of childbearing potential.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing gilteritinib alone or combined with azacitidine versus azacitidine by itself in adults with AML who can't receive standard chemo. Gilteritinib targets the FLT3 protein to slow leukemia growth. Patients are randomly assigned to treatments, with a higher chance of receiving the combination therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the infusion site, changes in liver enzymes, gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, blood cell count abnormalities which could lead to infections or bleeding problems, fatigue, and possible allergic reactions.
