Summary
(This study is closed to new patients) This randomized phase III trial studies how well bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib and sorafenib tosylate together with combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without high allelic ratio fms-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3)/internal tandem duplications (ITD)+ mutations who are randomized to standard therapy versus bortezomib/standard combination therapy.
II. To determine the feasibility of combining bortezomib with standard chemotherapy in patients with de novo AML.
III. To compare the OS and EFS of high-risk patients treated with intensive Induction II with historical controls from AAML03P1 and AAML0531.
IV. To determine the feasibility of administering sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) with standard chemotherapy and in a one year maintenance phase in patients with de novo high allelic ratio FLT3/ITD+ AML.
