Phase 1/2 Study of Enasidenib (AG-221) in Adults With Advanced Hematologic Malignancies With an Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Isoform 2 (IDH2) Mutation

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01915498

Purpose

The primary objectives of Phase 1 Dose Escalation/Part 1 Expansion are: - To assess the safety and tolerability of treatment with enasidenib administered continuously as a single agent dosed orally on Days 1 to 28 of a 28-day cycle in participants with advanced hematologic malignancies. - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of enasidenib in participants with advanced hematologic malignancies. The primary objective of Phase 2 is: • To assess the efficacy of enasidenib as treatment for participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with an IDH2 mutation.

Official Title

A Phase 1/2, Multicenter, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation and Expansion, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Clinical Activity Study of Orally Administered AG-221 in Subjects With Advanced Hematologic Malignancies With an IDH2 Mutation

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   1. Subject must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age.

   2. Subjects must have an advanced hematologic malignancy including:

Phase 1/ Dose escalation:

   1. Diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) according to World Health Organization
   (WHO) criteria;

      - Disease refractory or relapsed (defined as the reappearance of > 5% blasts in the
      bone marrow).

      - Untreated AML, greater than or equal to 60 years of age and are not candidates
      for standard therapy due to age, performance status, and/or adverse risk factors,
      according to the treating physician and with approval of the Medical Monitor;

   2. Diagnosis of Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) according to WHO classification with
   refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB-1 or RAEB-2), or considered high-risk by
   the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R), that is recurrent or
   refractory, or the subject is intolerant to established therapy known to provide
   clinical benefit for their condition (i.e., subjects must not be candidates for
   regimens known to provide clinical benefit), according to the treating physician and
   with approval of the Medical Monitor.

   Phase 1/Part 1 Expansion:

   Arm 1: Relapsed or refractory AML and age greater than or equal to 60 years or any
   subject with AML regardless of age who has relapsed following a bone marrow transplant
   (BMT).

   Arm 2: Relapsed or refractory AML and age <60 years, excluding subjects with AML who
   have relapsed following a BMT.

   Arm 3: Untreated AML and age greater than or equal to 60 years that decline standard
   of care chemotherapy.

   Arm 4: Isocitrate dehydrogenase protein, 2 (IDH2)-mutated advanced hematologic
   malignancies not eligible for Arms 1 to 3.

   Phase 2:

   Diagnosis of AML according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and disease
   relapsed or refractory as defined by:

      - Subjects who relapse after allogeneic transplantation;

      - Subjects in second or later relapse;

      - Subjects who are refractory to initial induction or re-induction treatment

      - Subjects who relapse within 1 year of initial treatment, excluding patients with
      favorable-risk status according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)
      Guidelines. Favorable-risk cytogenetics: inv(16), t(16;16), t(8;21), t(15;17)

   3. Subjects must have documented IDH2 gene-mutated disease:

      - For subjects in the dose escalation phase and Part 1 Expansion, IDH2 mutation may
      be based on local evaluation. (Centralized testing will be performed
      retrospectively.)

      - For subjects in the Phase 2 portion of the trial, central testing of IDH2
      mutation of bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood, is required during
      screening to confirm eligibility

   4. Subjects must be amenable to serial bone marrow sampling, peripheral blood sampling
   and urine sampling during the study.

      - The diagnosis and evaluation of AML or MDS will be made by bone marrow aspiration
      and/or biopsy. If an aspirate is unobtainable (i.e., a "dry tap"), the diagnosis
      may be made from the core biopsy.

      - Screening bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples are required of all
      subjects. A bone marrow biopsy must be collected if adequate aspirate is not
      attainable unless:

         - A bone marrow aspirate and biopsy was performed as part of the standard of
         care within 28 days prior to the start of the study treatment; and

         - Slides of bone marrow aspirate, biopsy and stained peripheral blood smear
         are available for both local and central pathology reviewers; and

         - A bone marrow aspirate sample acquired within 28 days prior to the start of
         study treatment has been sent for cytogenetic analysis.

   5. Subjects must be able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent. A legally
   authorized representative may consent on behalf of a subject who is otherwise unable
   to provide informed consent, if acceptable to and approved by the site and/or sites

   6. Subjects must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status (PS)
   of 0 to 2.

   eligible with Medical Monitor approval.

   8. Subjects must have adequate hepatic function as evidenced by:

      - Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), unless considered due
      to Gilbert's disease, a gene mutation in UGT1A1, or leukemic organ involvement,
      following approval by the Medical Monitor;

      - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline
      phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3.0 × ULN, unless considered due to leukemic organ
      involvement.

   who have not menstruated at all) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had
   menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). Females of reproductive
   potential as well as fertile men and their partners who are female of reproductive
   potential must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse or to use two highly effective
   forms of contraception from the time of giving informed consent, during the study and
