Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of milademetan tosylate and to see how well it works with cytarabine with or without ventoclax in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Milademetan tosylate and ventoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if giving milademetan tosylate and low-dose cytarabine with or without ventoclax will work better in treating participants with recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability. (Phase 1) II. To determine the recommended phase II dose. (Phase I) III. To evaluate the efficacy (by International Working Group [IWG] criteria - Phase 2) of the MDM2 inhibitor, milademetan tosylate (DS-3032b), in combination with low dose cytarabine (LDAC), with or without the addition of venetoclax in both the frontline and in relapsed/refractory (non-TP53 mutant) patient population.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Evaluation of time to response variables including overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS) and duration of response (DOR).

  2. Determine biomarkers that may be predictive of DS-3032b activity. III. Molecular profiling at screening, on study, and at relapse to determine genomic predictors of response and resistance.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of milademetan tosylate, followed by a phase II study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive low dose cytarabine subcutaneously (SC) twice daily (BID) on days 1-10 and milademetan tosylate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 8-14, 8-21, or 5-7 and 15-17. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive low dose cytarabine SC BID on days 1-10, milademetan tosylate PO QD on days 8-14, 8-21, or 5-7 and 15-17, and venetoclax PO QD on days 1-14. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment participants are followed up at 30 days.
