STAT Inhibitor OPB-111077, Decitabine and Venetoclax in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia That Is Refractory, Relapsed or Newly Diagnosed and Ineligible for Intensive Chemotherapy

NCT03063944

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 when given together with decitabine and venetoclax in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that does not respond to treatment (refractory), has come back (relapsed), or is newly diagnosed and ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 and decitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving STAT inhibitor OPB-111077, decitabine, and venetoclax may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to decitabine alone.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the safety and tolerability of STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 (OPB-111077) in
      combination with decitabine and venetoclax.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To describe any preliminary efficacy of OPB-111077 in combination with decitabine and
      venetoclax in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

      II. To measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation and perform metabolomics in patients
      with AML who are receiving OPB-111077 and decitabine and venetoclax.

      III. To assess apoptosis and proliferation assays in patients with AML who are receiving
      OPB-111077, decitabine and venetoclax.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of STAT inhibitor OPB-111077.

      INDUCTION CYCLE 1: Patients receive STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on
      days 1-28, and venetoclax PO QD on days 4-28 of cycle 1. Patients also receive decitabine
      intravenously (IV) over approximately 1 hour on days 4-8 of cycle 1. Patients who achieve
      complete remission (CR) after 1 cycle move on to Maintenance, and patients who do not achieve
      a CR move on to Cycle 2.

      INDUCTION CYCLE 2: Patients receive STAT inhibitor OPB-111077, venetoclax, and decitabine as
      in Induction Cycle 1. Patients who achieve CR, complete remission with incomplete hematologic
      recovery (CRi), partial remission (PR), or stable disease (or clinically significant
      hematologic improvement as determined by the investigator) move on to Maintenance.

      MAINTENANCE: Patients receive STAT inhibitor OPB-111077, venetoclax, and decitabine as in
      Induction Cycle 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.
