Study summary

This study will examine the safety and anti-leukemic profile of SGN-CD33A (vadastuximab talirine) in patients with relapsed chemo-resistant AML, who are given vadastuximab talirine in sequence with standard treatments before a planned stem cell transplant, or as maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant. The main purpose of the study is to find the best dose and determine the anti-leukemic activity of vadastuximab talirine, given either pre- or post-allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) for adults with relapsed or refractory AML. This will be determined by assessing the safety and tolerability of vadastuximab talirine. In addition, the pharmacokinetic profile and anti-leukemic activity of the study treatment will be assessed.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    AE: Adverse events; TEAE: Treatment-emergent adverse event. Grades are defined using National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), v4.03. Grade 1 = mild, no intervention needed; Grade 2 = moderate, minimal intervention needed; Grade 3 = severe or medically significant, hospitalization is required; Grade 4 = life-threatening, urgent intervention needed; Grade 5 = death related to adverse event. An AE is considered serious if it was fatal, life threatening, required hospitalization, was disabling/incapacitating, resulted in a birth defect or congenital anomally, or was otherwise considered to be medically significant.

    Time frame: Approximately 1 year

  2. Incidence of Laboratory Abnormalities

    Number (count) of participants that experienced a Grade 3 or higher laboratory toxicity (hematology and chemistry). Grades are defined using National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), v4.03. Grade 1 = mild, no intervention needed; Grade 2 = moderate, minimal intervention needed; Grade 3 = severe or medically significant, hospitalization is required; Grade 4 = life-threatening, urgent intervention needed; Grade 5 = death related to adverse event.

    Time frame: Approximately 1 year

  3. 1-year Survival Rate

    1-year survival rate estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods The start date for overall survival is the day of alloSCT.

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Rate of MRD Negativity

    Rate of MRD (minimal residual disease) negativity at Day -1 (1 day prior to transplant) and Day 30 post-transplant (Part A only)

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Best Response of CR or CRi

    Percentage of patients who achieved a best response of CRi (complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery) or CR (complete remission)

    Time frame: 9 weeks

  2. Duration of Response

    Defined as the time from the start of the first documented complete response (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) to the documentation of relapse or death due to any cause.

    Time frame: 9 weeks

  3. Overall Survival

    Defined as the time from the day of alloSCT to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Approximately 96 weeks
