Phase 1/2 Study of Liposomal Annamycin for the Treatment of Subjects With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) That is Refractory to or Relapsed After Standard Induction Therapy
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study that will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of liposomal annamycin as a single agent for the treatment of subjects with AML that is refractory to or relapsed after standard induction therapy
• A pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AML by World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
• AML that is refractory to or relapsed after standard induction therapy.
• Age ≥18 years at the time of signing informed consent.
• No chemotherapy, radiation, or major surgery within two weeks prior to first dose of study drug and/or recovered from the toxic side effects of that therapy, unless treatment is indicated due to progressive disease.
• No investigational therapy within four weeks of the first dose of study drug.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2.
• Adequate laboratory results including the following:
∙ Bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) unless due to Gilbert Syndrome
‣ Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and alkaline phosphatase \<3 times the ULN) unless due to organ involvement
‣ Adequate renal function (The Cockcroft-Gault equation will be used to estimate creatinine clearance. This equation is as follows: Creatinine clearance in ml/min = (140 - age) x body weight (kg)/72 x plasma creatinine (mg/dL); multiplied by 0.85 for women. Using this equation, adequate renal function will be deemed to be a creatinine clearance of greater than 60 ml/minute.)
• Prior anthracycline cumulative dose below 551 mg/m2 or the daunorubicin equivalent which is the recommended non-cardiotoxic level.
• Subject can understand and sign the informed consent document, can communicate with the investigator, and can understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol.
⁃ Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test.
⁃ All men and women must agree to practice effective contraception during the entire study period and after discontinuing study drug, unless documentation of infertility exists.
• Sexually active, fertile women must use two effective forms of contraception (abstinence, intrauterine device, oral contraceptive, or double barrier device) from the time of informed consent and until at least 6 months after discontinuing study drug
∙ Sexually active men and their sexual partners must use effective contraceptive methods from the time of subject informed consent and until at least 3 months after discontinuing study drug
