Key clinical point: Alvocidib followed by cytarabine and mitoxantrone (ACM) was clinically active and well tolerated in patients with myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1)-dependent relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Major finding: The rates of composite complete remission after 1 cycle of ACM therapy were 47%, 21%, 64%, and 52% in patients with R/R AML with MCL-1 <15%, 15% to <30%, 30% to <40%, and ≥40%, respectively. The rate of 30-day mortality was 6% in the R/R AML cohort.

Study details: Findings are from the phase 2 Zella-201 study including 221 adult patients with R/R AML and an exploratory cohort of 169 patients with newly diagnosed high-risk AML, of which 39% were MCL-1 dependent (≥40%).

Disclosures: This study was supported by Tolero Pharmaceuticals, acquired by Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma (SDP). Some investigators, including the lead author, reported being employees of; receiving research funding, honoraria, grants, or drug support from; being on advisory boards or data monitoring committees for; or receiving consultancy or speaker roles from various sources, including Tolero and SDP.
