A Phase 2/3 Multicenter, Open-label, 3-arm, 2-Stage Randomized Study of ASP2215 (Gilteritinib), Combination of ASP2215 Plus Azacitidine and Azacitidine Alone in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3 Mutation in Patients Not Eligible for Intensive Induction Chemotherapy
This is a clinical study for adult patients who have recently been diagnosed with acute
myeloid leukemia or AML. AML is a type of cancer. It is when bone marrow makes white blood
cells that are not normal. These are called leukemia cells. Some patients with AML have a
mutation, or change, in the FLT3 gene. This gene helps leukemia cells make a protein called
FLT3. This protein causes the leukemia cells to grow faster.
For patients with AML who cannot receive standard chemotherapy, azacitidine (also known as
Vidaza®) is a current standard of care treatment option in the United States. This clinical
study is testing an experimental medicine called ASP2215, also known as gilteritinib.
Gilteritinib works by stopping the leukemia cells from making the FLT3 protein. This can help
stop the leukemia cells from growing faster.
This study will compare two different treatments. Patients are assigned to one of these two
groups by chance: a medicine called azacitidine, also known as Vidaza®, or an experimental
medicine gilteritinib in combination with azacitidine. There is a twice as much chance to
receive both medicines combined than azacitidine alone. The clinical study may help show
which treatment helps patients live longer.

Patients considered an adult according to local regulation at the time of obtaining informed
consent may participate in the study.
Safety Cohort Prior to initiation of the randomized trial, 8 to 12 patients will be enrolled
to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP2215 given with azacitidine therapy in the
study population.
Randomized Trial Approximately 323 patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive
ASP2215 plus azacitidine (Arm AC) or azacitidine only (Arm C).
Earlier protocol versions included a 1:1:1 randomization ratio to receive Arm A: ASP2215, Arm
AC: ASP2215 + azacitidine or Arm C: azacitidine. Randomization to Arm A was removed in the
current protocol version. Patients previously randomized to Arm A should continue following
treatment and assessments as outlined in the protocol.
Patients will enter the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment.
Patients will be administered treatment over 28-day cycles.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject is considered an adult according to local regulation at the time of obtaining
informed consent.
- Subject has a diagnosis of previously-untreated AML according to World Health
Organization (WHO) classification [Swerdlow et al, 2008] as determined by pathology
review at the treating institution.
- Subject is positive for FLT3 mutation (internal tandem duplication [ITD] or tyrosine
kinase domain [TKD] [D835/I836] mutation) (or for Korea only: ITD alone or ITD with
concurrent TKD activating mutation) in bone marrow or whole blood as determined by
central laboratory. Note: Only applicable to the randomization portion.
- Subject is ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy by meeting at least 1 of
the following criteria:
1. Subject is ≥ 75 years of age.
2. Subject has any of the following comorbidities:
- Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association {NYHA} class ≤ 3) or
ejection fraction (Ef) ≤ 50%;
- Creatinine > 2 mg/dL (177 µmol/L), dialysis or prior renal transplant;
- ECOG performance status ≥ 2;
- Known pulmonary disease with decreased diffusion capacity of lung for carbon
monoxide (DLCO) and/or requiring oxygen ≤ 2 liters per minute
- Prior or current malignancy that does not require concurrent treatment;
- Subject has received a cumulative anthracycline dose above 400 mg/m2 of
doxorubicin (or cumulative maximum dose of another anthracycline).
- Subject must meet the following criteria as indicated on the clinical laboratory
tests:
- Serum AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x Institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x Institutional ULN
- Serum potassium ≥ Institutional lower limit of normal (LLN)
- Serum magnesium ≥ Institutional LLN
- Subject is suitable for oral administration of study drug.
