A Phase 1 interventional study of Eganelisib and Azacitidine in Leukemia, Myeloid, Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, sponsored by Jacqueline Garcia, MD. Recruiting at 2 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-26.
Sponsored by Jacqueline Garcia, MD · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of adding the PI3K-gamma inhibitor, eganelisib, to a standard of care treatment option with combination venetoclax and azacitidine in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The names of the study drugs involved in this research study are:
This phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of adding the PI3K-gamma inhibitor, eganelisib, to a standard of care treatment option with combination venetoclax and azacitidine in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The dose-escalation portion of the trial will aim to establish the maximum tolerated dose of the drug, eganelisib, for the recommended phase 2 dose. The dose-expansion portion of the trial will aim to confirm the recommended phase 2 dose of the drug, eganelisib.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved eganelisib as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.
The FDA has approved azacitidine and venetoclax as a treatment option for AML. However, the combination of these two drugs with eganelisib (three drug or triplet regimen) has not been FDA approved.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic visits, blood tests, urine tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and bone marrow biopsies and aspirations.
It is expected that up to 48 people will take part in this research study. Stelexis BioSciences, Inc. is supporting this study by providing funding and the study drug, eganelisib.
Subjects must have histologically confirmed AML that meets one of these categories of disease:
Subjects must meet the following organ and marrow function as defined below:
total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or
≤ 3 x ULN in case of Gilbert's disease
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants receiving any medications or substances within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug and for duration of the study:
Dose-Escalation with triplet azacitidine D1-7, venetoclax D1-28 and eganelisib D1-28 (dose-escalated) * Baseline visit * Treatment in 28 day cycles * End of treatment visit * Follow up every 4 months for up to 1 year after end of treatment (for survival).
Drug: Eganelisib · Drug: Azacitidine · Drug: Venetoclax
Dose-Escalation with triplet azacitidine D1-7, venetoclax D1-28 and eganelisib D1-28 (dose-expansion at MTD/RP2D) * Baseline visit * Treatment in 28 day cycles * End of treatment visit * Follow up every 4 months for up to 1 year after end of treatment (for survival).
Drug: Eganelisib · Drug: Azacitidine · Drug: Venetoclax
PI3K-gamma inhibitor, capsule taken orally per protocol.
Also known as: IPI-549
Demethylating Agent, single use vial, via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection or intravenous (into the vein) infusion per standard of care.
BCL-2 inhibitor, tablet taken orally per standard of care.
Also known as: C45H50ClN7O7S
Eganelisib Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)
The eganelisib (daily) RP2D in combination with azacitidine 75 mg/m\^2/day on days 1-7 and venetoclax 400 mg daily (28 days) is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The RP2D is based on the Bayesian optimal interval design (BOIN). The RP2D may also be based on available pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data.
Time frame: 1 cycle=28 days
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)
Number of Participants experiencing protocol-defined DLT
Time frame: 1 cycle=28 days
Treatment-Related Grade 3-4 Adverse Event (AE) Rate
Percentage of participants who experience an AE of grade 3 or 4 with treatment attribution of possible, probable or definite per Common Toxicity Adverse Event Criteria (CTCAE) version 5.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 years
Eganelisib Feasibility Rate
Percentage of participants completing \>/= 75% of planned doses of eganelisib.
Time frame: First 28 days
Eganelisib Area Under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC)
Eganelisib AUC exposure is quantified by the integral of the plasma drug concentration-time curve over a specified time interval associated with pharmacokinetic sampling.
Time frame: Up to 4 months
Complete Remission (CR) Rate
Percentage of participants achieving CR on treatment per established criteria for adult acute myeloid leukemia: European Leukemia Network (ELN) 2022
Time frame: Up to 4 months
CR with Partial Hematologic Recovery (CRh) Rate
