Mitoxantrone for Venetoclax Resistant Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This is an open label, phase 1 study for AML subjects with relapsed or refractory disease or subjects in morphologic remission with MRD+ after first line therapy with venetoclax+HMA. A preliminary dose-finding cohort will be followed by 3 expansion cohorts.
• Subject must have confirmation of non-APL AML by WHO criteria and have been treated with first-line venetoclax/HMA (azacitidine or decitabine).
• Subject must have relapsed disease per IWG criteria or disease refractory to first line venetoclax/HMA defined by less than a PR response after ≥ 1 complete cycle of venetoclax/HMA.
• Subject must have either measurable residual disease (MRD+), as measured by FDA-approved flow cytometric test performed by Hematologics (cohort 3 and 4) or relapsed/refractory disease (cohort 1 and 2).
• Subject must have a projected life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
• Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of ≤ 2.
• Subject must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min, calculated using the formula CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation
• Subject must have adequate heart function as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>50%, assessed by multigated acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO) within 1 month prior to study day 1
• Subject must have adequate liver function as demonstrated by:
∙ aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 × ULN\*
‣ alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN\*
‣ bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, unless due to Gilbert's syndrome\*
⁃ Unless considered due to leukemic organ involvement
• Non-sterile male subjects must use contraceptive methods with partner(s) at least prior to beginning study drug administration and continuing up to 90 days after the last dose of study drug. No contraception is required if male subjects are surgically sterile (vasectomy with medical assessment confirming surgical success) or if the male subject has a female partner who is postmenopausal or permanently sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).
⁃ Female subjects must be either:
• Postmenopausal; defined as Age \> 60 years with no menses for 12 or more months without an alternative medical cause; OR
∙ Permanently surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy); OR
∙ If subject is of childbearing potential, use of contraception is required while on study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose.
⁃ Subject must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any research directed procedures.
