Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of alisertib and its effect, bad and/or good, on acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) or myelofibrosis (MF). The study drug, alisertib, is an investigational drug. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Alisertib has shown evidence in the lab that it may have an effect on a type of cell that produces platelets. This cell is called a megakaryocyte and it is known to be defective (doesn't work well) in both AMKL and MF.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine the safety profile of alisertib in patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) and in patients with myelofibrosis (MF).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine preliminary efficacy of alisertib in both populations.
TERCIARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Describe pharmacodynamics (PD) effects of alisertib in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow samples.

  2. Evaluate the relationship between biomarker expression levels and response to alisertib.

  3. Evaluate reduction in splenomegaly by palpation (MF arm only). IV. Evaluate improvement in MF symptoms (MF arm only), as assessed by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment form (MPN-SAF).

  4. Assess change in bone marrow fibrosis in patients in the MF arm.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive alisertib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-7. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at approximately 30 days and 6 months.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety Profile of Alisertib Per NCI's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. [From time of treatment to 6 months post discontinuation (range of cycles attempted 1 to 29, median 7.5 cycles, 1 Cycle = 21 days)]

      Adverse events will be defined as those included in CTCAE v 4.0. The AEs that were determined to be at least possibly related to study drug and graded 3, 4, 5 are included here. Grade 1 (mild): the event causes discomfort without disruption of normal daily activities. Grade 2 (moderate): the event causes discomfort that affects normal daily activities. Grade 3 (severe): the event makes the patient unable to perform normal daily activities or significantly affects his/her clinical status. Grade 4 (Life-threatening): the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. Grade 5 (fatal): the event caused death. All patients who received at least 1 dose of alisertib were considered evaluable for this endpoint.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Response to Treatment [Baseline to up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment]

      Serial blood and/or bone marrow samples will be collected at specific timepoints for each disease to determine response to alisertib treatment.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Changes in Biomarker Expression Levels [Baseline to up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment]

      To evaluate the relationship between biomarker expression levels and response. Biomarkers will include a) genes encoding key enzymes in Aurora kinase signaling, b) markers of cellular aneuploidy and apoptosis, and c) markers of megakaryocytic differentiation.

    2. Changes in MF Symptoms Assessed by the MPN-SAF (Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form) Score (MF Patients) [Once per cycle (1 cycle=21 days)]

      To evaluate improvement in MF symptoms in the MF arm, changes in symptom scores over time will be calculated.

    3. Changes in Pharmacodynamic Effects of Alisertib [Baseline to up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment]

      Serial blood and/or bone marrow samples will be collected at specific timepoints. Flow cytometry, colony forming assays, AURKA autophosphorylation assays, and in vitro cultures of patient specimens to assess the effect of MLN8237 on megakaryocytes and other hematopoietic cells will be measured.

    4. Changes in Splenomegaly by Palpation (MF Patients) [Baseline to up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment]

      To evaluate reduction in splenomegaly by palpation in the MF arm. Patients will be examined for splenomegaly by palpation once per cycle and change from baseline will be calculated over time.

    5. Change in Bone Marrow Fibrosis (MF Patients) [Screening and up to 54 weeks]

      Assess change in bone marrow fibrosis in patients in the MF arm. Bone marrow will be assessed at screening and after cycle 6 in this population.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse Events (AEs) were collected over a 5 year period. Each patient was followed from the time of treatment, during treatment at the beginning of each cycle through 6 months post last treatment. 1 cycle = 21 days. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) are reported from the time of treatment initiation. The range of cycles attempted was 1-38. At the time of reporting this data, 3 patients remain on treatment.
