Purpose

This Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of idasanutlin when it is given in combination with cytarabine and daunorubicin in induction, in combination with cytarabine in consolidation, and as a single agent in maintenance for treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Experimental
Dose-Escalation Phase
Participants with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, favorable or intermediate risk AML (according to European LeukemiaNet [ELN] 2017 criteria) will undergo the treatment sequence of induction, consolidation, and maintenance. For induction, participants will be treated with idasanutlin plus cytarabine and daunorubicin. At the investigator's discretion for consolidation, either participants will be treated with idasanutlin and cytarabine or they will undergo Allo-HSCT. For maintenance, participants will be treated with single-agent idasanutlin.
  • Drug: Idasanutlin
    Participants will self-administer idasanutlin tablets by mouth (PO) once daily (QD) for 5 days of each 28-day treatment cycle for up to 2 cycles of induction, up to 4 cycles of consolidation, and 12 cycles of maintenance, according to the study's protocol.
    Other names:
    • RO5503781
    • RG7388
  • Drug: Cytarabine
    Cytarabine will be administered for 7 days of each 28-day cycle for up to 2 cycles of induction treatment at a dose of 200 milligrams per meter squared (mg/m^2) of body surface area, once daily (QD) by intravenous (IV) infusion. At the investigator's discretion, cytarabine will also be administered as part of chemotherapy consolidation at a dose of 1.5 g/m^2 QD as IV infusion for 5 days of each 28-day cycle and for up to 4 cycles of treatment.
  • Drug: Daunorubicin
    Daunorubicin will be administered for 3 days of each 28-day cycle for up to 2 cycles of induction treatment at a dose of 60 mg/m^2 QD as IV infusion.
  • Procedure: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (Allo-HSCT)
    After induction treatment, participants who achieve remission will either receive chemotherapy consolidation treatment or undergo Allo-HSCT (as per local guidelines) at the investigator's discretion.
Experimental
Post-Consolidation Phase
Participants who are idasanutlin treatment-naive, had received induction and chemotherapy consolidation for AML outside of the study, and were in minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive remission after induction will be enrolled in this cohort to receive maintenance treatment with single-agent idasanutlin.
  • Drug: Idasanutlin
    Participants will self-administer idasanutlin tablets by mouth (PO) once daily (QD) for 5 days of each 28-day treatment cycle for up to 2 cycles of induction, up to 4 cycles of consolidation, and 12 cycles of maintenance, according to the study's protocol.
