Brief Summary:

Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with a type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia, or AML for short. Tamibarotene is being studied as a treatment for participants with AML whose cancer has a specific genetic abnormality characterized by the overexpression of the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene. This genetic profile is found in about 3 of every 10 people with AML.

During the trial, tamibarotene will be given with 2 other drugs that are already used together to treat people who have AML and who cannot start treatment with standard chemotherapy.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Drug: Tamibarotene Drug: Venetoclax Drug: Azacitidine Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This study consists of 3 parts. In Part 1, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine combination will inform the appropriate tamibarotene dose to be combined with the standard of care (SOC) venetoclax/azacitidine in Part 2 and Part 3. In Part 2, participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either tamibarotene/venetoclax/azacitidine or venetoclax/azacitidine to compare the clinical activity of the 2 combinations. In Part 3, tamibarotene will be added to the venetoclax/azacytidine regimen of a subset of Part 2 participants who experience progressive disease, relapse after initial complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) response, or treatment failure.

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 1: Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: up to 3 years ]
    Overall response assessment is comprised of CR, CRi, CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), morphologically leukemia-free state (MLFS), or partial remission (PR) (as determined by the investigator). ORR is estimated by the proportion of participants who achieve overall response.

  2. Part 1: Plasma Concentration of Tamibarotene [ Time Frame: Day 8 and 22 of Cycle 1, Day 15 of Cycles 2 and 3 (cycle length = 28 days) ]

  • Participants must have newly diagnosed, previously untreated non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) AML with a bone marrow or peripheral blood blast count ≥20% and must be unlikely to tolerate standard intensive chemotherapy at the time of Cycle 1 Day 1 Visit due to age, performance status, or comorbidities based on at least one of the following criteria:

    • age ≥75 years old, or
    • age <75 years old, with at least one of the following:

      • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 3
      • cardiac history of congestive heart failure (CHF) or documented ejection fraction (EF) ≤50%
      • pulmonary disease with diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤65% or forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ≤65%
      • creatinine clearance ≥30 milliliters (mL)/minute (min) to <45 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate estimation
      • hepatic impairment with total bilirubin >1.5 to ≤3.0 * upper limit of normal (ULN)
      • any other comorbidity that the investigator judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy, and reviewed and approved by the sponsor.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants have APL.
  • Participants have known active central nervous system involvement with AML.
  • Prior treatment (before Cycle 1 Day 1) for the diagnosis of AML, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or antecedent hematologic malignancy with any hypomethylating agent, venetoclax, chemotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with the exception of prior treatment with hydroxyurea.
