Study summary

This is a clinical study aiming to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of ZE50-0134 in relapsed and refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients.

Read the detailed description

It is an open-label Phase 1b clinical study of Lonitoclax + Aza in relapsed/refractory AML patients. The study is an open-label, with 2 parts.

The phase 1b dose escalation portion would include relapsed/refractory patients, as well as in the expansion group. Once the phase 1b dose and schedule of Lonitoclax + Aza is defined in the 3 + 3 design with biologically effective dose assessment, an amendment will be filed with the Regulatory Authorities and expansion cohort of 30 relapsed and refractory AML patients would be enrolled at two different doses (15 patients per dose) to determine the RP2D; the first dosing will be at the presumed potential phase 2 dose combination and the second dosing will be below this.

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients must be able to understand and provide written . 2. AML patients: For the dose escalation and expansion, patients aged 18 and older with AML would be eligible. Prior treatment with a hypomethylating agent or Venetoclax is allowed.

3. At the time of Lonitoclax initiation, white blood count (WBC) needs to be \< 25 × 109/L: Hydroxyurea can be used to achieve that level.

4. (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2. 5. Adequate organ function as defined by the following:

  1. (AST) ≤ 2.5 x (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN. AST and/or ALT may be up to 5 x ULN if thought to be secondary to leukemia.
  2. Total ≤ 1.5 x ULN (patients with known Gilbert's syndrome may enroll if direct bilirubin is ≤ 3 x ULN) for the local laboratory.
  3. Estimated (eGFR) according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CDK-EPI) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 for the local laboratory.

    6. Female patients of must agree to use a highly effective method of from screening visit until 120 days following the last dose of study treatment. Highly effective methods of contraception include sexual abstinence, bilateral tubal ligation, tricycle combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) oral or transdermal hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices and vasectomized partner. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

    7. Male patients capable of having intercourse with females of childbearing potential must agree to abstain from heterosexual intercourse or have their partner use highly effective contraception from the screening visit until 120 days until the last dose of study treatment, and themselves use barrier contraception (i.e., condoms). They must also refrain from sperm donation from the screening visit until 120 days following the last dose of study treatment. Should his partner become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while he is participating in this study, he should inform his treating physician immediately.

    8. Patients must be able to take oral medications. Exclusion Criteria

    1. Isolated myeloid sarcoma (meaning, patients must have blood or marrow involvement with AML).
    2. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB M3).
    3. Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by AML.
    4. Clinical signs/symptoms of leukostasis requiring urgent therapy.
    5. Known active infection with (HIV), or . Patients with a history of positive serology for hepatitis B or C require a negative Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for virus to go onto therapy.
    6. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy with active bleeding or signs of thrombosis
    7. Patients who have received an agent (for any indication) within 5 half-lives of the agent; if the half-life of the agent is unknown, patients must wait 1 week prior to first dose of study treatment. An investigational agent is one for which there is no approved indication by Regulatory Authorities.
    8. Systemic antineoplastic therapy within 1 week (or 5 half-lives of drug received, whichever is shorter) or radiation therapy within 1 week prior to starting protocol except for hydroxyurea, which is allowed to control white blood cell counts.
    9. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.
    10. Patients with psychological, familial, social, or geographic factors, other significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality that otherwise preclude them from giving informed consent, following the protocol, potentially hamper compliance with study treatment and follow-up or would confound the interpretation of the results of the trial.
    11. Concomitant medications that are strong inducers.
    12. Patients with > 470 msec that cannot be corrected with electrolyte replacement, hydration, or medication modifications. This does not apply to patients with a pacemaker as measurement of QTc is not accurate under such conditions and bears no risk to patients since they are being medically paced by their device.
    13. Patients with the following will be excluded: uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial infarction with evidence of residual abnormalities within 6 months prior to enrollment (Troponin leak alone not included if no residual dysfunction), familial QT prolongation, known potassium wasting syndrome (Bartter syndrome, Gitelman syndrome, and Liddle syndrome), (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities. Patients with medical comorbidities that will preclude safety evaluation of the combination should not be enrolled.
    14. As infection is a common feature of AML, patients with active infection are permitted to enroll provided that the infection is under control. Patients with uncontrolled infection shall not be enrolled until infection is treated and brought under control.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(16)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
