PHIBI: Trial to Find and Investigate a Safe Dose of F16IL2 and BI 836858 in Patients With AML Relapse After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Phase I, open label, single arm, non-randomized, multicenter, prospective dose escalation study in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT).
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to determine a recommended dose for F16IL2 in combination with BI 836858 in AML relapse after alloHSCT and investigating safety and tolerability of the combination regimen.
Dose escalation will be guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) with overdose control that will be fitted to binary toxicity outcomes. The estimate of parameters will be updated as data are accumulated using the BLRM. At the end of the dose escalation phase, the probability of toxicity at each dose combination level will be calculated to determine an estimate of the MTD. Once the MTD or a biological active dose has been defined, additional patients (up to 10) will be treated with F16IL2 and BI 836858 dosed at this dose combination in order to confirm the safety profile of the combination.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: F16IL2 + BI 836858 Successive cohorts of patients will receive increasing doses of FI6IL2 and BI 836858 until the MTD is reached. The MTD will be defined following a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) with overdose control. Patients will go off treatment after 6 months (i.e. after 6 cycles of induction combination therapy). Patients achieving CR or CRi will receive maintenance therapy for a maximum of 6 months. |
Drug: F16IL2
F16IL2 dose escalation with provisional doses of 10, 20 and 30 Mio IU on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each cycle through a rate-controlled intravenous infusion of 3 hours
Drug: BI 836858
BI 836858 dose escalation with provisional doses of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg on days 3, 10, 17 and 24 of each cycle through a rate-controlled intravenous infusion up to 5 hours
