Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of S227928, an Anti-CD74 Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting MCL-1, as a Single Agent and in Combination With Venetoclax in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)/AML, or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML)
The objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and anti-leukemic activity of S227928 as single agent and in combination with venetoclax, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of this combination. The study will begin as a Phase 1 Dose Escalation study to determine the RP2D and then will transition to a Phase 2 Dose Expansion study to assess the efficacy of the selected RP2D. During the treatment period participants will have study visits every two weeks, with additional visits occurring during the first and second cycle. Approximately 30 days after treatment has ended, an end-of-treatment visit will occur and then participants will be followed for survival every 12 weeks for the next 6 months. Study visits may include a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy, blood and urine tests, ECG, vital signs, physical examination, and administration of study treatment.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use a highly effective method of birth control during study treatment and at least 6 months after the last dose of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). In case of the use of oral contraception, women should have been on a stable dose of the same contraceptive drug (i.e., same active principle) for at least 3 months prior to the first IMP administration.
• Male participants with WOCBP partners must use a condom during the study and for at least 3 months after the last dose of IMP. In addition, contraception should be considered for their female partners. Contraceptive measures do not apply if the participant is sterile, vasectomised or sexually abstinent. Sperm donation will not be allowed during the study and for at least 3 months after the last dose of IMP.
• Patients with pathologically confirmed AML, MDS/AML, or CMML as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 classification or ICC, who have been previously treated with at least one prior standard treatment and have relapsed and/or refractory disease.
‣ Patients must not be candidates for further standard therapy,
⁃ Treatment with agents for lower risk MDS such as erythropoietin or luspatercept are not considered anticancer therapies.
• Circulating leukocytes \< 10 x 109/L (use of hydroxycarbamide before study drug initiation is allowed to achieve this inclusion criterion).
• Adequate renal function within 7 days before study enrollment defined as:
• a. Calculated creatinine clearance (determined by the modification of diet in renal disease \[MDRD\] equation) ≥ 60 mL/min
• Adequate hepatic function within 7 days before study enrollment defined as:
‣ Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN),
⁃ Total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x ULN, except for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, who may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 x ULN and their direct bilirubin is ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
