Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Phase 1 is a 3+3 dose escalation study to determine the safety and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MPH966 in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). We will evaluate up to 4 doses: 60 mg po bid, 120 mg po bid, 180 mg po bid, and 240 mg po bid. Safety, tolerability, and efficacy will be assessed in real time and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics after each dose cohort before escalating to the next cohort.
Phase 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the clinical efficacy of MPH966 vs. placebo in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after HCT, using the RP2D as determined by the phase 1 trial.

-
Any of the following organ system function criteria:
-
Cardiac: Ejection fraction ≤40% or myocardial infarction within 6 months of transplant or QTc >450 msec for males and >470 msec for females or other EKG abnormality which in the opinion of the investigator may put the subject at risk or interfere with study assessments
-

If the patient develops GVHD within the first 100 days, they are allowed to enroll on trials of investigational drugs to treat GVHD provided they come off of this study.
-
Enrollment in biorepository or supportive care trials that do not involve investigational drugs or devices is allowed
-
Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis at visit, which in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to participate in the study
