A Study to Evaluate IMGN632 with Venetoclax and/or Azacitidine to Treat Patients with CD123-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is is to determine the safety and tolerability of IMGN632 and assess the antileukemia activity of IMGN632 when administered in combination with azacitidine and/or venetoclax in patients with relapsed and frontline CD123-positive AML, and antileukemia activity of IMGN632 when administered as monotherapy in patients with MRD+ AML after frontline treatment.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

    • Relapsed or refractory CD123-positive AML patients will be allowed to enroll in the Escalation Phase of Regimens A, B, and C (Triplet) (IMGN632 + azacitidine, venetoclax, or azacitidine + venetoclax, respectively) and relapsed CD123-positive AML patients will be allowed to enroll the Expansion Phase of Regimens A-C;
    • Note: Patients may also have received up to 2 prior lines of therapy; e.g., frontline treatment (induction, consolidation [including transplant], and maintenance) and 1 salvage regimen;
    • Patients enrolling in Regimen D must be in CR (CR/CRh/CRp/CRi) and be MRD+ at the time of screening, confirmed by central laboratory testing. Patients may have no more than 2 prior lines of therapy (which may include stem cell transplant); i.e., frontline or first salvage.
    • Note: Fit patients who received intensive treatment (e.g., 3+7, HiDAC, etc.) are eligible for Regimen D Cohort D1. Unfit patients who received non-intensive treatment (e.g., HMA, low dose cytarabine, etc.) are eligible for Regimen D Cohort D2.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1. If non ambulatory due to a chronic disability, must be Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70.
  • Previous treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline (excluding alopecia).
  • Total white blood cell count must be less than 25 × 10^9 cells/L. Hydroxyurea may be used to control blood counts before Cycle 1 Day 1, at the discretion of the treating physician, according to institutional practice. During the Escalation Phase in Regimens A-C, hydroxyurea may also be used during Cycle 1.
  • Liver enzymes (AST and ALT) ≤ 3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the ULN; patients with Gilbert syndrome must have total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN with direct bilirubin < 1.0 × ULN at the time of enrollment.
  • Note: Subjects who are < 75 years of age may have a bilirubin of ≤ 3.0 x ULN
  • An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of > 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or creatinine clearance of > 30 mL/min.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% based on locally available assessment, eg, echocardiogram or other modality.
  • Patients with prior autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplant are eligible. Patients with an allogeneic transplant must meet the following conditions: The transplant must have been performed more than 120 days before the date of dosing on this study, the patient must not have active ≥ Grade 2 graft versus host disease (GvHD), or extensive chronic GvHD of any severity, and must be off all immunosuppression for at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of IMGN632.
  • Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care.
  • Women of childbearing potential (WCBP), defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone surgical sterilization or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., who have had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months), must agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods while on study drug and for at least 7 months after the last dose of IMGN632.
  • WCBP must have a negative pregnancy test within 3 days before the first dose of study drug.
  • Male patients who are able to father children must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception throughout the study and for at least 4 months after the last dose of IMGN632.
  • Patients with prior malignancy are eligible; however, patient’s malignancy must be wellcontrolled or stable and have completed all systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the prior malignancy at least 6 months before enrollment, and all treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to Grade 1 (excluding alopecia).
  • Note: patients with prostate cancer or breast cancer on adjuvant hormonal therapy are eligible and may or may not be on long-term maintenance treatment that is unlikely to interfere with study therapy.
  • Note: patients with tumors with a negligible risk for metastasis or death (e.g., adequately controlled basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast) are eligible.
  • Patients in expansion Cohorts C1 and C2 must be considered ineligible for intensive induction therapy defined by the following:
    • ≥ 75 years of age; OR
    • < 75 years of age with at least one of the following co-morbidities documented within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1:
    • − ECOG performance status of 2 or 3
    • − History of congestive heart failure requirement treatment or ejection fraction ≤ 50% or chronic stable angina

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have received any anticancer therapy, including investigational agents, within 14 days (or within 28 days for checkpoint inhibitors) before drug administration on this study (hydroxyurea is allowed before beginning study treatment). Patients must have recovered to baseline from all acute toxicity from this prior therapy.
  • Patients who have been previously treated with IMGN632. Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm-related secondary AML are excluded from the Dose Expansion Phase of the study.
  • Patients with active central nervous system (CNS) AML will be excluded. A lumbar puncture does not need to be performed unless there is clinical suspicion of CNS involvement per investigator judgement. Concurrent therapy for CNS prophylaxis or continuation of therapy for controlled CNS AML is allowed with the approval of the sponsor.
  • Patients with a history of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/venous occlusive disease of the liver.
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrollment or New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities before study entry.
  • Clinically relevant active infection including known active hepatitis B or C, HIV infection, or cytomegalovirus or any other known concurrent infectious disease that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make a patient inappropriate for enrollment into this study (testing not required).
  • Patients who have undergone a major surgery within 4 weeks (or longer if not fully recovered) before study enrollment.
  • Serious or poorly controlled medical conditions that could be exacerbated by treatment or that would seriously compromise safety assessment or compliance with the protocol, in the judgment of the investigator.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Prior known hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies (≥ Grade 3).
