Patients with TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have an extremely poor prognosis, necessitating new treatments. The global, randomized, phase 3 ENHANCE-2 trial evaluated the anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody magrolimab plus azacitidine (Magro/Aza) for previously untreated TP53-mutated AML. Patients determined ineligible for intensive therapy were randomized to receive Magro/Aza or venetoclax plus Aza (Ven/Aza); those eligible for intensive therapy were randomized to receive Magro/Aza or 7+3 induction chemotherapy. The primary end point was overall survival (OS) in the nonintensive arm. At interim analysis, nonintensive-arm OS hazard ratio (HR) between treatment groups was 1.191 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.744-1.906), meeting the study's definition for futility and resulting in study termination. At final analysis, median OS was 4.4 vs 6.6 months (HR, 1.132; 95% CI, 0.783-1.637; P = .5070) in the nonintensive arm (n = 205) and 7.3 vs 11.1 months (HR, 1.434; 95% CI, 0.635-3.239; P = .3798) in the intensive arm (n = 52) between Magro/Aza and control groups, respectively. Incidences of grade ≥3 adverse events were similar across Magro/Aza and control groups (nonintensive, n = 194: 96.9% and 95.9%; intensive, n = 50: 92.6% and 95.7%), including grade ≥3 anemia (nonintensive: 27.1% and 23.5%; intensive: 25.9% and 21.7%). Grade ≥3 infections were observed in 50.0% and 53.1% of patients in the nonintensive arm and 44.4% and 65.2% of intensive-arm patients. ENHANCE-2 did not meet its primary end point of OS in TP53-mutated AML but provides important data informing future studies in this challenging population. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04778397.
