Study of Ponatinib (Iclusig) for Prevention of Relapse After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation...
LeukemiaMyeloid1 moreRecent advances in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been characterized by a better understanding of disease biology. As such, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) have been recognized as conferring a poor prognosis. The FLT3-ITD molecular mutation is observed in about one-quarter of patients diagnosed with AML. Patients presenting with this abnormality are referred for early allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT). However, some data suggest that FLT3-ITD remains associated with a poor prognosis even after allo-SCT because of higher risk of relapse and strategies for preventing relapse in the post-transplant setting are required (Hu et al, Expert Rev Hematol, 2014). For example, in a large cohort of patients (Brunet et al, JCO, 2012), the incidence of relapse for FLT3-ITD AML patients after allo-SCT was 30% at 2-years, significantly higher compared to FLT3-ITD negative patients (p=0.006). Ponatinib (Iclusig®) is an orally available, tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a unique binding mechanism allowing inhibition of BCR-ABL kinases, including those with the T315I point mutation. Ponatinib also has in vitro inhibitory activity against a discrete set of kinases implicated in the pathogenesis of other hematologic malignancies, including FLT3, KIT, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), and platelet derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα). In vitro activity of ponatinib in AML has been already demonstrated (Gozgit et al, Mol Cancer Ther, 2011; Smith et al, Blood 2013). If some trials are on-going to test ponatinib alone or in combination with chemotherapy in FLT3-ITD AML (Clinical.trials.gov), no study is dedicated to the use of ponatinib in the post-transplant setting in order to prevent relapse in these patients. The main goal of this study will be to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MDT) of ponatinib after allo-SCT in FLT3-ITD AML patients, then to investigate the efficacy of ponatinib in a larger cohort of patients

A Study of Perpetrator Drug Interactions of Enasidenib in AML Patients
LeukemiaMyeloid1 moreThis is a 2-part, open-label, interventional study conducted in approximately 42 subjects with AML harboring an IDH2 mutation. The overall study is a 3-arm investigation of the PK effects of enasidenib at steady state on the probe compounds. (Part 1), followed by treatment continuation up to 28 months (Part 2). Each arm utilizes different probe compounds; enrolls a separate cohort of approximately 14 subjects; and consists of 2 parts - investigation of the PK effects of enasidenib on the respective probe compound(s) (Part 1), followed by an enasidenib treatment extension (Part 2).

Gilteritinib vs Midostaurin in FLT3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaEligible untreated patients with FLT3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) between the ages of 18 and 70 will be randomized to receive gilteritinib or midostaurin during induction and consolidation. Patients will also receive standard chemotherapy of daunorubicin and cytarabine during induction and high-dose cytarabine during consolidation. Gilteritinib, is an oral drug that works by stopping the leukemia cells from making the FLT3 protein. This may help stop the leukemia cells from growing faster and thus may help make chemotherapy more effective. Gilteritinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients who have relapsed or refractory AML with a FLT3 mutation but is not approved by the FDA for newly diagnosed FLT3 AML, and its use in this setting is considered investigational. Midostaurin is an oral drug that works by blocking several proteins on cancer cells, including FLT3 that can help leukemia cells grow. Blocking this pathway can cause death to the leukemic cells. Midostaurin is approved by the FDA for the treatment of FLT3 AML. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of gilteritinib to midostaurin in patients receiving combination chemotherapy for FLT3 AML.

DS-1594b With or Without Azacitidine, Venetoclax, or Mini-HCVD for the Treatment of Relapsed or...
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell NeoplasmRecurrent Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia7 moreThis phase I/II trial studies the effect of DS-1594b with or without azacitidine, venetoclax, or mini-HCVD in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or not responded to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, venetoclax, and mini-HCVD, 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. DS-1594b may inhibit specific protein bindings that cause blood cancer. Giving DS-1594b, azacitidine, and venetoclax, or mini-HCVD may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

VOB560-MIK665 Combination First in Human Trial in Patients With Hematological Malignancies (Relapsed/Refractory...
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)1 moreThe purpose of the study is to identify doses and schedules of VOB560 and MIK665 that can be safely given and to learn if the combination can have possible benefits for patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Multiple Myeloma (MM) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). VOB560 and MIK665 are selective and potent blockers respectively of the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein and of the myeloid cell leukaemia 1 (MCL1) protein, proteins that may protect tumor cells from undergoing cell death. VOB560 and MIK665 are designed to block the functions of the BCL2 and MCL1 proteins, so that the tumor cells that rely on these proteins undergo cell death. Preclinical data suggest that concomitant treatment with VOB560 in combination with MIK665 induces robust anti-tumor activity.

A Trial of Epigenetic Priming in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaMyelodysplastic SyndromesThe overall aim of this study is to determine if epigenetic priming with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DMTi) prior to chemotherapy blocks is tolerable and carries evidence of a clinical efficacy signal as determined by minimal residual disease (MRD), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Tolerability for each of the agents, as well as total reduction in DNA methylation and outcome assessments will be done to simultaneously obtain preliminary biological and clinical data for each DMTi in parallel. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the tolerability of five days of epigenetic priming with azacitidine and decitabine as a single agent DMTi prior to standard AML chemotherapy blocks. Evaluate the change in genome-wide methylation burden induced by five days of epigenetic priming and the association of post-priming genome-wide methylation burden with event-free survival among pediatric AML patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES Describe minimal residual disease levels following Induction I chemotherapy in patients that receive DMTi. Estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of patients receiving a DMTi prior to chemotherapy courses.

Dasatinib and venetoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

STAT Inhibitor OPB-111077, Decitabine and Venetoclax in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia...
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaRecurrent Acute Myeloid Leukemia1 moreThis phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 when given together with decitabine and venetoclax in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that does not respond to treatment (refractory), has come back (relapsed), or is newly diagnosed and ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. STAT inhibitor OPB-111077 and decitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax, 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. Giving STAT inhibitor OPB-111077, decitabine, and venetoclax may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to decitabine alone.
