Flotetuzumab for Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (Allo-HCT)

NCT04582864

Description:

The investigators hypothesize that MGD006 for relapsed AML following allo-HCT will be safe, tolerable and may facilitate preferential immune effector cell retargeting of leukemic cells resulting in improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, administration of a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) (if available) in combination with MGD006 will be safe, tolerable and may provide additional therapeutic efficacy.

Flotetuzumab (MGD006)ExperimentalWill start on cycle 1 day 1 on the dose escalation ramp schedule of MGD006 as a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion. Patients will be initiated on MGD006 at 30 ng/kg/day and have their MGD006 dose increased daily to a target goal of 500 ng/kg/day by day 7 Patients will continue on MGD006 at 500 ng/kg/day for the remaining 21 days of the 28 day cycle. On cycle 1 day 14 patients will undergo a bone marrow biopsy On cycle 1 day 28, patients will undergo bone marrow biopsy for assessment of disease status. Patients with progressive disease will go off study. Patients with stable disease (SD) or better will proceed to cycle 2. Cycle 2 treatment assignment will be further stratified based on patients achieving CRi or better versus achieving SD/partial remission (PR) Patients achieving a CRi or better will proceed to cycle 2 with MGD006 on a 28 day cycle. Patients achieving SD or a PR will proceed to cycle 2 with MGD006 + DLI at the start of cycle 2
