A Study of TAS1553 in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Other Myeloid Neoplasms

NCT04637009

Description:

This is a Phase 1, 2-part, open-label, multicenter, first-in-human (FIH) study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of TAS1553 administered orally to participants ≥18 years of age with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other myeloid neoplasms where approved therapies have failed or for whom known life-prolonging therapies are not available. The AML population includes de novo AML, secondary AML, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-transformed into AML. Other myeloid neoplasms include accelerated phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and chronic or accelerated phase MPN-unclassifiable (MPN-U) and MDS-MPN. Blast crisis phase of MPNs are considered secondary AML and will be included in the AML cohort. Part 1 is a multicenter, sequential group treatment feasibility study with 1 treatment arm and no masking (dose escalation). Part 2 is a multicenter, two-stage, multiple group, dose confirmation study with 1 treatment arm and no masking (exploratory dose expansion).

          2. Participant must be 18 years of age or older, at the time of signing the informed
             consent.

          3. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks as assessed by the investigator.

          4. Participants with R/R AML or other myeloid neoplasms where approved therapies have
             failed or for whom known life-prolonging therapies are not available. The AML
             population includes de novo AML, secondary AML, and MDS transformed into AML. Other

             MPN-U and MDS-MPN. Blast crisis phase of MPN, MPN-U, and MDS-MPN are considered
             secondary AML and will be included in the AML cohort.

          5. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.

          6. Have platelet count ≥10,000/μL (transfusions to achieve this level are allowed).

          7. Have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a 24-hour urine measured creatinine
             clearance ≥60 mL/min.

          8. Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by:

               1. aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3× upper limit of normal (ULN)

          9. Participants must be amenable to serial bone marrow biopsies, peripheral blood
             sampling, and urine sampling during the study.

         10. Women of child-bearing potential (according to recommendations of the Clinical Trial
             Facilitation Group [CTFG]) must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must have a
             negative pregnancy test at screening.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Participants who have MPN, MPN-U, or MDS/MPN and display hypoplastic bone marrow and
             would also not ordinarily benefit from cytoreductive therapy such as hydroxyurea (HU).

          2. Participants with highly proliferative disease are excluded as follows:

               1. Part 1/AML: white blood cells (WBC) >20,000/μL and >50% blasts in blood. Measures
                  to reduce WBC, such as HU treatment within the last 2 weeks and cytotoxic
                  chemotherapy within the last 4 weeks are not allowed to meet this eligibility
                  criterion.

               2. Part 1/other myeloid neoplasms: WBC >20,000/μL. A short course of HU may be used
                  to meet this eligibility criterion, as long as HU is discontinued 96 hours and
                  any encountered drug-related toxicity must be resolved to Grade ≤1 before the
                  first dose of study treatment.

               3. Part 2/Cohort 1, AML: WBC>20,000/μL and >50% blasts in blood. A short course of
                  HU may be used to meet this eligibility criterion, as long as HU is discontinued
                  96 hours, and any encountered drug-related toxicity must be resolved to Grade ≤1
                  before the first dose of study treatment.

               4. Part 2/Cohort 2, other myeloid neoplasms: Specific WBC exclusion criterion not
                  defined. A short course of HU may be used to reduce WBC if judged to be necessary
                  by the investigator, as long as HU is discontinued 96 hours and any encountered
                  drug-related toxicity must be resolved to Grade ≤1 before the first dose of study
                  treatment.

          3. Known clinically active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia.

          4. Diagnosis of BCR-ABL-positive leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3 AML or APML),
             or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).

          5. Second malignancy requiring active systemic therapy, except breast or prostate cancer
             stable on or responding to endocrine therapy.

             treatment (for example, calcineurin inhibitors, ≥5mg/day prednisone or other steroid
             equivalent, or other immunosuppressive agents). (Note: Prednisone at any dose for
             other indications is allowed).

          7. Advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active hepatitis B virus (HBV)

             antiviral medication(s) who have a viral load below limit of detection will be
             permitted.

          8. Known significant mental illness or other condition such as active alcohol or other
             substance abuse or addiction that, in the opinion of the investigator, predisposes the
             participant to high risk of non-compliance with the protocol.

          9. Active infection resistant to antibiotics; or non-leukemia-associated pulmonary
             disease requiring >2 liters per minute oxygen or any other condition that puts the
