  • QT interval with Fridericia's correction (QTcF) > 470 milliseconds. In the case of potentially correctible causes of QT prolongation, (eg, medications, hypokalemia), the electrocardiogram (ECG) may be repeated once during screening and that result may be used to determine eligibility
  • REGISTRATION - EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown:

    • Pregnant persons
    • Nursing persons
    • Persons of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
  • Increased risk of Torsade des Pointes (TdP) defined as follows:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Treatment (onvansertib)

Arm Description

Patients receive onvansertib PO QD on study. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, collection of blood samples, and ultrasound imaging during screening and throughout the trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events
Safety will be assessed primarily based on reported adverse events (AEs). The severity of AEs will be graded as mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. All reported toxicities, regardless of attribution, will be summarized by toxicity type and maximum grade, and sorted by number of patients experiencing the toxicity. The maximum grade consolidates the reports of a given toxicity for a patient over time by taking the maximum across time. In addition, the incidence of those toxicities that meet the criteria for dose-limiting will be summarized for each dose level as well as to evaluate the overall toxicity profile of the expansion cohort of patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Complete response (CR) rate
CR will be determined by the International Working Group (IWG) response criteria. CR rate will be presented descriptively for each cohort, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Overall remission rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as CR + complete cytogenetic remission + partial response and will be determined by the IWG response criteria. ORR will be presented descriptively for each cohort, with 95% CIs.
Volumetric spleen response
Spleen volumes, as determined by ultrasound, will be summarized descriptively for each cohort.
Constitutional symptoms
The Myeloproliferative Neoplasm-Symptom Assessment Form total symptom score will be summarized descriptively for each cohort. Symptom scores will also be summarized individually.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase I trial evaluates the safety, effectiveness, and best dose of onvansertib for the treatment of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Onvansertib is a drug that binds to and inhibits an enzyme called PLK1, preventing cancer cell proliferation and causing cell death.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Characterization of adverse events (AEs) by type, incidence, severity (graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI-CTCAE] version 5.0), seriousness, and relationship to treatment; effects on vital signs and laboratory parameters; changes from baseline in electrocardiograms (ECGs), physical examinations, weight, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Efficacy: complete response (CR) rate, according to the 2015 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) International Working Group (IWG) criteria. II. Overall remission rate (ORR), defined as CR + complete cytogenetic remission + partial remission (CR+ complete cytogenetic remission [CCR] + partial remission [PR]). III. Volumetric spleen response rate, as determined by ultrasound scan (US). IV. Constitutional symptoms, as assessed by the MPN-Symptom Assessment Form (SAF) total symptom score (TSS). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Onvansertib activity in RAS mutant subtypes of proliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). II. Monocyte subset analysis by flow cytometry (CD14/CD16). III. Relation of genomic backgrounds and changes, as assessed by next generation sequencing (NGS), to response. IV. Relation between changes in mutant circulating-tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) and response. V. CR rate, ORR and spleen response rate as per the 2015 MDS/MPN IWG response criteria. VI. Assessment of target engagement. VII. Expression levels of PLK1 and KMT2A. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of onvansertib followed by a dose-expansion study. Patients receive onvansertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on study. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, collection of blood samples, and ultrasound imaging during screening and throughout the trial.
