Study summary

This study is a first-in-human (FIH) study which is required to understand the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of RJK-RT2831 injection in patients with hematologic malignancies

Read the detailed description

This is the first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and dose expansion phase study to investigate the safety, Tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of RJK-RT2831 injection in patients with hematologic malignancies. About 70 subjects with malignant blood tumors will be recruited. The specific tumor type will be determined based on the results of the Phase Ia trial and may be expanded to other malignant blood tumor types.The primary goal of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD),determine the recommended doses for expansion (RDEs) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1. A male or female aged ≥ 18 and \<75 years old.
  • 2. The following three points are evaluated by the investigator and are deemed suitable to participate in the study: a) The subject fully understands the requirements of this study and voluntarily signs a written informed consent form; b) Be able to comply with the medication requirements of this study as well as all study related procedures and assessments; c) Not deemed as potentially unreliable and/or uncooperative.
  • 3. An ECOG physical status score is ≤ 2 and an expected survival is ≥ 3 months.
  • 4. Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that meets the following criteria will be included in Phase Ⅰa : Patients diagnosed with AML according to the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours: -Myeloid and Histiocytic/Dendritic Neoplasms (Khoury et al., 2022), including any subtype except for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). These patients must have received at least one previous treatment and have failed to current standard treatments that provide clinical benefit.

Note: The following diagnostic criteria must be met for relapsed/refractory AML: (1) Relapsed AML: Leukemia cells reappear in the peripheral blood or bone marrow blast cells exceed 5% after complete remission (CR) (excluding reasons such as bone marrow regeneration post-consolidation chemotherapy) or there is extramedullary infiltration by leukemia cells. (2) Refractory AML: Initial cases that are unresponsive after two cycles of standard regimen treatment; recurrence within 12 months after CR and consolidation therapy; recurrence beyond 12 months with ineffectiveness of conventional chemotherapy; those who have relapsed twice or more; or persistent extramedullary leukemia.;

-5. Phase Ib tentatively includes patients with hematologic malignancies that meet the following criteria: relapsed or refractory AML subjects who have received at least one previous treatment and have failed to current standard treatments that provide clinical benefit, and MDS subjects who are diagnosed according to the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours-Myeloid and Histiocytic/Dendritic Neoplasms (Khoury et al., 2022) and are classified as high-risk or very-high-risk according to the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) (Greenberg et al., 2012). The specific tumor type will be determined based on the results of the Phase Ia trial and may be extended to other hematologic malignancies.

Note: Subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes with excess blasts (MDS-EBs) type 1 (MDS-EB1) or type 2 (MDS-EB2) may be considered for inclusion. The EB type has a higher risk of transformation to AML than other subtypes and may have greater clinical benefits.

  • 6. The test of CD33 and/or CD123 for Phase Ia and Ib subjects in this study will be required to be positive, and patients with any level of CD33 and/or CD123 positivity were allowed to be included. Note: The positivity and expression levels of CD33 and CD123 were determined by each site.
  • 7. Consent to bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, and consent to implantation of medical devices such as peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), or venous access port, or central venous catheter (CVC) (if applicable) for long-term intravenous drug administration.
  • 8. Patients have recovered from toxicity of prior first-line therapy, i.e., Grade 1 toxicity according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) V5.0, with the exception of toxicities such as alopecia, fatigue, and other toxicities deemed by the investigator to be of no safety risk to the patient, as well as hematological toxicities related to the tumor.
  • 9. Substantial normal function of major organs with screening laboratory tests meeting the following criteria:

    1. Bone marrow function: white blood cell count ≤ 30×10\^9/L;

  • 10. The serum pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential should be negative during the screening period. Male and female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective methods of contraception from signing an informed consent form during the screening period, throughout the study and for 3 months after the last dose of the RJK-RT2831, including but not limited to: abstinence, vasectomy in males, female sterilization surgery, effective intrauterine contraceptive devices or condoms, and effective contraceptive medications.. Note: Women of non-childbearing potential include permanent infertility (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) and postmenopausal women.

Interventions

  • DrugRJK-RT2831 dose-escalation phase Ia

    there are seven doses(1mg-160mg) in this part. The subjects will receive RJK-RT2831 injection twice a week by intravenous push or intravenous infusion for 4 weeks until the end of one dosing cycle (28 days). After one dosing cycle, if the subject tolerates, the subject will continue to receive treatment until the researcher believes that the subject no longer benefits, or the subject has disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdraws informed consent, dies, is lost to follow-up, or starts new anti-tumor treatment (whichever occurs first).

  • DrugRJK-RT2831 Dose Expansion Phase Ib

    there are four doses in this part. The subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one dose level of RJK-RT2831 intravenous infusion twice a week for 4 weeks until the end of one dosing cycle (28 days).After one dosing cycle, if the subject tolerates, the subject will continue to receive treatment until the researcher believes that the subject no longer benefits, or the subject has disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdraws informed consent, dies, is lost to follow-up, or starts new anti-tumor treatment (whichever occurs first).
