GTB-3550 Tri-Specific Killer Engager (TriKE™) for High Risk Hematological Malignancies

NCT03214666

Description:

This is a multi-center Phase I/II clinical trial of GTB-3550 (CD16/IL-15/CD33) tri-specific killer cell engager (TriKE™) for the treatment of CD33-expressing high risk myelodysplastic syndromes, refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia or advanced systemic mastocytosis. The hypothesis is that GTB-3550 TriKE™ will induce natural killer cell function by targeting malignant cells as well as CD33+ myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) which contribute to tumor induced immunosuppression. Because CD16 is the most potent activating receptor on NK cells, this single agent may induce a targeted anti-CD33+ tumor response.

GTB-3550 TriKE™ (Phase I: Dose Finding Component)ExperimentalPatients receive a single course of GTB-3550 TriKE™ at their assigned dose as 3 weekly treatment blocks. Each block consists of four consecutive 24 hour continuous infusions (over approximately 96 hours) of GTB-3550 TriKE™ followed by a 72 hour break after Block #1 and #2. All treatment is given as an inpatient. The assigned dose will be calculated on a weight obtained within 5 days prior to or on day of the 1st dose. The dose is not be recalculated for subsequent treatment blocks.
  • GTB-3550 TriKE™ Phase I
GTB-3550 TriKE™ Only (Phase II: Extended Component)ExperimentalThe treatment schedule is identical to the dose finding component. The extended component uses a Simon's MiniMax two-stage design for continued enrollment using the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) established during Phase I with monitoring guidelines to stop the study early for excessive toxicity.
  • GTB-3550 TriKE™ Phase II
