Increased aurora A kinase (AAK) expression occurs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); AAK inhibition is a promising therapeutic target in this disease. The aim of this phase II study was to assess activity of this combination in high-risk AML. This Phase II trial was conducted at Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, MA. We included untreated adult AML patients, ECOG 0–2, harboring an adverse-risk karyotype, secondary AML, therapy-related AML, and/or age ≥65 years. Patients received continuous infusion cytarabine 100mg/m2/day days 1–7 and idarubicin 12mg/m2/day days 1–3. Alisertib 30mg was administered orally twice daily days 8–15. Patients could receive up to 4 consolidation cycles with cytarabine and alisertib, and alisertib maintenance for 12 months. The primary endpoint was the rate of composite complete remission (CR+CRi). We used a Simon two-stage design, assuming a null CR+CRi of 45%. Analyses were per-protocol. The trial is registered (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02560025) and has completed enrollment. We enrolled 39 eligible patients between December 31, 2015 and August 1, 2017; median follow up was 13.7mo (IQR 12.7–14.4). 19 patients (49%) had secondary AML and 3 had therapy-related AML. At mid-induction, 33 (85%) demonstrated marrow aplasia, 6 (15%) received re-induction. Mortality at 30 and 60 days was 8% and 13%, respectively. The composite remission rate was 64%: 20 (51%) CR and 5 (13%) CRi. There was 1 PR, 8 (21%) were refractory, and 5 (13%) died before response assessment, with no treatment-related deaths. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events included febrile neutropenia (n=14), neutropenia (n=12), thrombocytopenia (n=12), anemia (n=11), anorexia (n=9), and oral mucositis (n=4). Alisertib combined with induction chemotherapy demonstrated a rate of remission of 64% in this unfavorable leukemia subset. This study met criteria to move forward to a future randomized trial in previously untreated high-risk AML.
