5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A Phase I Combination Study of CYC065 and Venetoclax for Relapsed or Refractory AML or MDS
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, single arm, dose escalation study in patients with relapsed or refractory AML or MDS. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis and all patients will receive CYC065 over 4-hour infusion once every 2 weeks on Day 1 and Day 15 in combination with venetoclax. One treatment cycle is 4 weeks.

6. Conditions and Keywords

Primary Disease or Condition Being Studied in the Trial, or the Focus of the Study
AML, MDS
Keywords
CYC065, CDK2/9, venetoclax, BCL-2, MCL-1, Relapsed, Refractory, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, AML, MDS

7. Study Design

Primary Purpose
Treatment
Study Phase
Phase 1
Interventional Study Model
Single Group Assignment
Model Description
One to 6 patients will be entered at a given CYC065 dose level. Dose escalation will be 33% after at least one patient has completed the first treatment cycle without ≥ grade 2 toxicity considered by the investigator to be related to CYC065. Upon the first occurrence of grade 2 toxicity related to CYC065, at least 3 patients will be entered at each dose level. If no DLT is observed in any patients, dose escalation will continue to be 33%. If one of 3 patients experienced a DLT at a given dose level, dose escalation will continue at 25% until MTD is reached. If 2 or more patients experienced a DLT at a given dose level, dose escalation will be stopped. At least 6 patients will be treated at MTD.
