Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) candidate(s) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with AML directed therapies (dose selection) and further to evaluate safety and tolerability of JNJ-75276617 in combination with AML directed therapies at the RP2D(s) (dose expansion).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

AML is a heterogenous disease characterized by uncontrolled clonal expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells (myeloid blasts) in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and other tissues and is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. JNJ-75276617 is an orally bioavailable, potent, and selective protein-protein interaction inhibitor of the binding between histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A ([KMT2A], also called mixed-lineage leukemia 1 [MLL1]; wild-type and fusion) and menin, with activity in leukemic cell lines and primary leukemia patient or patient-derived samples with either KMT2A alterations including gene rearrangements (KMT2A-r), duplications, and amplification, or nucleophosmin 1 gene (NPM1) alterations. The aim of this study is to determine the RP2D(s), safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and preliminary clinical activity of JNJ-75276617 in combination with AML directed therapies for adult participants with relapsed/refractory AML with NPM1 or KMT2A gene alterations and will include dose selection and subsequent combination specific dose expansion. The total study duration will be up to 2 years. Safety evaluations include adverse events (AE) monitoring, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital sign measurements, physical examination findings, and eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status score.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Arm A: Relapsed/Refractory Setting

Participants with relapsed/refractory AML harboring either NPM1 or KMT2A alterations will receive JNJ-75276617 in combination with either venetoclax (VEN) (Cohort A1: JNJ75276617+VEN) or azacitidine (AZA) (Cohort A2: JNJ-75276617+AZA) or VEN+AZA (Cohort A3: JNJ-75276617+VEN+AZA) to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with VEN, AZA or VEN+AZA (dose selection). In dose expansion portion of the study, participants will receive JNJ-75276617 in combination with AML directed therapies at the RP2D(s).

Drug: JNJ-75276617
Participants will receive JNJ-75276617 orally for each 28-day cycle.

Drug: Venetoclax (VEN)
Participants will receive VEN tablet orally with continuous daily dosing.

Drug: Azacitidine (AZA)
Participants will receive intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) injection of AZA daily for 7 days of each 28-day cycle.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to 2 Years]

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity [Up to 2 Years]

    Number of Participants with AEs by severity will be reported. Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.

  3. Number of Participants with Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) [Up to 28 days of Cycle 1 (each cycle is of 28 days)]

    Number of participants with DLT will be reported. The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined per protocol as any of the following: non-hematologic toxicity, or hematologic toxicity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Plasma Concentration of JNJ- 75276617 [Up to 2 Years]

    Plasma samples will be analyzed to determine concentrations of JNJ-75276617 using a validated, specific, and sensitive method.

  2. Number of Participants with Depletion of Leukemic Blasts [Up to 2 Years]

    Number of participants with depletion of leukemic blasts will be reported.

  3. Number of Participants with Differentiation of Leukemic Blasts [Up to 2 Years]

    Number of participants with differentiation of leukemic blasts will be reported.

  4. Changes in Expression of Menin-histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) Target Genes [Up to 2 Years]

    Changes in expression of menin-KMT2A target genes will be reported.

  5. Percentage of Participants who Achieve Complete Remission (CR) [Up to 2 Years]

    Percentage of participants who achieve complete Remission (CR) will be reported. CR is defined as Bone marrow blasts less than (<) 5 percent (%); Absence of circulating blasts and blasts with Auer rods; Absence of extramedullary disease; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to (>=) 1.0 x 109/Liter (1,000/microliter [μL] ); Platelet count >= 100 x 109/L (100,000/μL).

  6. Percentage of Participants who Achieve Complete Remission with Partial Hematologic Recovery (CRh) [Up to 2 Years]

    Percentage of participants who achieve complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) will be reported. CRh is defined as All criteria of CR with both ANC >0.5 x 109/L (500/μL) and platelet count >50 x 109/L (50,000/μL).
