A Phase Ia/Ib Study of Tagraxofusp-erzs, an IL-3 Diphtheria Fusion Protein, in Combination With Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory AML

Status: Active_not_recruiting

Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1
SUMMARY

This is an open-label Phase Ia/Ib clinical study of tagraxofusp-erzs, a novel cytokine-drug conjugate that links interleukin-3 with a truncated diphtheria toxin, in combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin for patients with relapsed/refractory AML. The primary objective of the study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tagraxofusp-erzs in combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin in this patient population. Then, once RP2D is determined, to determine the safety and tolerability of combination gemtuzumab and tagraxofusp-erzs when administered at the RP2D.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 12
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) according per 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

‣ Cluster of differentiation marker (CD)33 and CD123 / interleukin (IL)3RA expression on the subject's blasts, determined by standard Flow AML MRD assay.

⁃ Age ≥ 12

⁃ Relapsed or refractory after one cycle of prior therapy (cytoreductive agents such as hydroxyurea, cyclophosphamide, or a single dose of gemtuzumab ozogamicin are not considered prior treatment regimens).

⁃ Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, 1, or 2

⁃ Adequate baseline organ function, including cardiac, renal, and hepatic function as defined by:

• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% by multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiogram (ECHO) within 28 days prior to the start of therapy

∙ No clinically significant abnormalities on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)

∙ Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60mL/min

∙ Serum albumin ≥ 3.2 g/dL (note that albumin infusions are not permitted in order to enable eligibility)

∙ Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL

∙ Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

⁃ white blood cell (WBC) \< 20,000/uL on day of first therapy, cytoreduction may be achieved using hydroxyurea.

⁃ Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

⁃ Able to adhere to study visit schedule and other protocol requirements including follow up for survival assessment.

⁃ If the patient is a woman of child-bearing potential (WOCBP), they should have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week prior to tagraxofusp-erzs treatment. (Note: WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea ≥ 12 consecutive months; or women on hormone replacement therapy with documented serum follicle stimulating hormone level ≥ 35 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

⁃ Patients agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods for the duration of time in the study, and to continue to use acceptable contraceptive methods for 1 week after the last tagraxofusp-erzs infusion.

⁃ The patient has signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures or treatment. The patient is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

Treatments
Experimental: Phase 1a Dose Escalation of tagraxofusp-erzs in r/r AML
Tagraxofusp-erzs and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) will be administered every 4 weeks with 28 days defined as a treatment cycle. Tagraxofusp-erzs dose escalation for cycles 1-4 in combination with fixed dose GO.~This is a dose escalation design . The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period will be the 28 days following the first dose of GO. The initial dose level 1 (DL1) cohort will receive GO 3mg/m2 (capped at a maximum dose of 4.5mg) intravenously (IV) on cycle 1 days 1, 4, and 7 and tagraxofusp-erzs at an initial dose of 7μg/kg/day on days 10, 11, 12. For subsequent cycles of DL1, GO will continue to be administered at a dose of 3mg/m2 IV on day 1 and tagraxofusp-erzs will be administered IV at a dose of 7μg/kg/day on days 4,5,and 6. Subsequent escalation dose levels will receive tagraxofusp-erzs doses of 7mcg/kg/day, 9mcg/kg/day or 12mcg/kg/day. Initial cycle doses of tagraxofusp at these levels will be given on Days 5,6 and 7, then in subsequent cycles on days 1,2 and 3.
Experimental: Phase 1b recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tagraxofusp- erzs in r/r AML
This is dose expansion at the RP2D of tagraxofusp. Participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML) will receive the RP2D of tagraxofusp-erzs, as determined in Phase 1a, and gemtuzumab at a dose of 3mg/m2 (max absolute dose of 4.5mg) on days 1,4, and 7 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles.
