Phase I/II Trial of CPX-351 + Palbociclib in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Palbociclib in combination with investigational (experimental) drug, CPX-351 and evaluate the efficacy of Palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy as measured by overall response rate (ORR), i.e. complete response (CR) and CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) by 2003 IWG criteria.

Detailed Description
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Palbociclibin combination with CPX-351, and to evaluate the efficacy of Palbociclibin combination with chemotherapy as measured by overall response rate (ORR), i.e. complete response (CR) and CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) by IWG criteria.
CPX-351 is an investigational drug that works as formulation of a fixed combination of the antineoplastic (acting to prevent, inhibit or halt the development of a neoplasm (a tumor)) drugs cytarabine and daunorubicin.
Palbociclibis an investigational drug that works to induce early G1 arrest by inhibiting CDK4/6, which are two types of CDKs that are overexpressed in AML cell cancer lines.
CPX-351 and Palbociclib is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is a single arm, open label study of the combination of Palbociclib with CPX-351 in adults with AML. The trial consists of two components: phase I to evaluate the safety with dose escalation of Palbociclib in combination with CPX-351 and phase II to evaluate the overall response rate of the combination in the targeted participant population.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Palbociclib + CPX-351 Palbociclib will be administered orally on day -1 and -2 at 125 mg PO during the phase IIaportion (dose level 0).Day 0 will be rest and then CPX-351 at 100 u/m2 will be started on days 1, 3, and 5 along with Palbociclib day 2, 4, and 6 followed by rest/monitoring period (day 7-28). If Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity is observed in 1 or less of 6 patients treated, the study will move to Phase IIb. If Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity is observed in 2 or more of 6 patients treated, 6 additional patients will be treated on the Phase IIa portion at a lower dose level (100 mg po) until a Phase IIb safe dose schedule is defined at which 1 or less out of 6 patients on the Phase IIa experience Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity. After the Phase IIa portion ensures safety, the study will proceed with phase IIb. The phase IIb component is a Simon 2-stage design trial whose objective is to assess the clinical efficacy of the combination of Palbociclib and CPX-351. |
Drug: Palcociclib
Palbociclib is an investigational (experimental) drug that works to induce early G1 arrest by inhibiting CDK4/6, which are two types of CDKs that are overexpressed in AML cell cancer lines. Palbociclib is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Palbociclib will be supplied as capsules or tablets containing 125 mg equivalents of Palbociclib free base
Other Names:
Drug: CPX-351
CPX-351 (daunorubicin and cytarabine) liposome for injection is a combination of daunorubicin and cytarabine in a 1:5 molar ratio encapsulated in liposomes for intravenous administration. CPX-351 is an investigational (experimental) drug that works as formulation of a fixed combination of the antineoplastic drugs cytarabine and daunorubicin. CPX-351 is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety and tolerability of experimental dose of Palbociclibin combination with CPX-351 as measured by number of participants with dose limiting toxicities. [Between days 28-35 of starting treatment]
If Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity is observed in 1 or less of 6 patients treated, the dose of the study drug will be considered safe/tolerable. If Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity is observed in 2 or more of 6 patients treated, 6 additional patients will be treated on the Phase IIa portion at a lower dose level (100 mg po).
- Efficacy of Palbociclibin combination with chemotherapy as measured by overall response rate (ORR). [Up to 2 years from end of treatment]
Efficacy of Palbociclibin combination with chemotherapy as measured by overall response rate (ORR) which is defined as complete response (CR) and CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) by IWG criteria. Complete remission is defined as: Bone marrow blasts <5%; absence ofcirculating blasts and blasts with Auerrods; absence of extramedullarydisease; absolute neutrophil count >1.0x 109/L (1,000/μL); platelet count >100 x109/L (100,000/μL) and CR with incomplete blood count recovery is defined as: All CR criteria except for residualneutropenia [<1.0 x 109/L (1,000/μL)] orthrombocytopenia [<100 x 109/L(100,000/μL)]. Either of these responses will constitute ORR.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to response (TTR) [Up to 2 years from end of treatment]
TTR measured between start of treatment and the date of achievement of response (responses defined per 2003 IWG criteria).
- Duration of response (DOR) [Up to 2 years from end of treatment]
DOR is measured between the date of response to date of loss of response.
- Event-free survival (EFS) [Up to 2 years from end of treatment]
EFS measured from the date of entry into a study to the date of primary refractory disease, or relapse from CR, or CRi, or death from any cause; patients not known to have any of these events are censored on the date they were last examined
- Overall Survival (OS) probability [Up to 2 years from end of treatment]
OS probability measured from the date of entry into a clinical trial to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive
