Study of Enasidenib and Venetoclax in IDH2-Mutated Blood Cancers

NCT04092179

Description:

The purpose of this research study is to see how safe and tolerable, and to find the highest or best dose, of an investigational combination of drugs called enasidenib and venetoclax, in patients with relapsed (the cancer has come back) or refractory (the cancer does not respond or have stopped responding to treatment) acute myeloid leukemia (AML, a type of blood cancer). This study will also see how useful the combination of enasidenib and venetoclax is in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Purpose

The purpose of this research study is to see how safe and tolerable, and to find the highest or best dose, of an investigational combination of drugs called enasidenib and venetoclax, in patients with relapsed (the cancer has come back) or refractory (the cancer does not respond or have stopped responding to treatment) acute myeloid leukemia (AML, a type of blood cancer). This study will also see how useful the combination of enasidenib and venetoclax is in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Detailed Description

      This study will have two parts: Phase 1b and Phase 2. The part that patients may participate
      in will depend on when they join the study.

      In the phase 1b portion of the study, small groups participants will receive increasing doses
      of venetoclax in combination with a flat dose of enadisenib until the highest dose or best
      dose of venetoclax that is safe and tolerable in combination with enadisenib is found.

      In the phase 2 portion of the study, an additional group of participants will receive the
      highest or best dose of venetoclax found in the Phase 1b portion of the study with a flat
      dose of enadisenib to see how useful the combination is in treating relapsed or refractory
      acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Venetoclax and EnadisenibExperimentalEnasidenib and venetoclax will be taken by mouth (orally), once a day, every day, continuously. Every 28-day period will be called a cycle. Participants will start venetoclax alone on Cycle 1 Day 1 and continue the study drug alone until Day 15. On Day 15, participants will take enasidenib and venetoclax together and will continue to take the combination of study drugs until intolerable side effects or disease worsening.
