A Phase 1/2 First in Human Study of the Menin-MLL(KMT2A) Inhibitor KO-539 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
In this trial, ziftomenib, a menin-MLL(KMT2A) inhibitor, will be tested in patients for the first time. The trial includes a Main Study and four sub-studies. In the Main Study (including Phase 1a, Phase 1b, and Phase 2 portions), ziftomenib will be evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The main study has completed enrollment. In Sub-studies 1 and 2, the effects of taking ziftomenib and other common drugs at the same time will be investigated in AML patients. In Sub-study 3, ziftomenib will be evaluated in patients with R/R acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In Sub-study 4, ziftomenib will be evaluated in patients with R/R AML with certain genetic mutations.
∙ Patients with refractory or relapsed AML defined as the reappearance of ≥ 5% blasts in the bone marrow and who have also failed or are ineligible for any approved standard of care therapies, including HSCT.
• Phase 1b:
‣ Patients with a documented lysine\[K\]-specific methyltransferase 2-rearrangement (KMT2A-r), or
⁃ Patients with a documented nucleophosmin 1 mutation (NPM1-m)
• Phase 2:
‣ Patients with a documented nucleophosmin 1 mutation (NPM1-m)
• Sub-studies:
‣ Sub-studies 1 and 2: Patients with R/R AML with NPM1-m or other mutations associated with MEIS1 overexpression.
⁃ Sub-study 3: Patients with R/R Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) with KMT2A-r.
⁃ Sub-study 4: Patients with R/R AML with mutations associated with MEIS1 overexpression.
• ≥ 18 years of age.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2, and a life expectancy of at least 2 months.
• Adequate liver and kidney function according to protocol requirements.
• Peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts ≤ 30,000/μL. Patients may receive hydroxyurea to control and maintain white blood cell count prior to enrollment.
• Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for at least 187 days after the last dose of study treatment.
• Males with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for at least 97 days after the last dose of study treatment.
