Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of AZD2811 Nanoparticles as Monotherapy or in Combination in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Participants.

Stopped early · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

In brief

This is a Phase I/II clinical study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and schedule, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AZD2811 monotherapy or with combination agent(s) in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) participants or treatment-naïve AML participants not eligible for intensive induction therapy. In addition, the study will explore the potential clinical activity by assessing anti-tumour activity in participants. The study was terminated early as a result of AstraZeneca's strategic review across the AZD2811 programme. Part A data were collected for initial cohorts; the MTD/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) dose and schedule of AZD2811 monotherapy or with combination agents were not determined. Part B of the study was not initiated

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 130. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• AML participants who have either: (a) relapsed or are refractory to standard therapies (the participant may have been treated with standard therapy prior to the diagnosis of AML e.g. for MDS), OR (b) diagnosis of AML (bone marrow blasts ≥ 20%), who are previously untreated for AML, and are not suitable for intensive induction therapy, as defined below (for AZD2811 monotherapy and HMA combination participants only i.e. inclusion criteria 1(b) may only be used to enrol a participant into Groups 1 and 2; previously untreated AML participants may not enrol into Group 3 unless they fulfil inclusion criteria 1(a) above).
• Participants are unsuitable for intensive induction therapy if they are:
• 75 years or
• 75 years of age with clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction unrelated to leukaemia, as reflected by at least 1 of the following criteria: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤50% Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤65% of expected Forced expiratory volume 1(FEV1) ≤65% of expected Chronic stable angina any significant co-morbidities which in the opinion of the treating physician makes the participant unsuitable for intensive induction therapy. This must be documented by the study monitor.
• AML participants who are unlikely to demonstrate rapid progression such that they would be unable to complete the first cycle of therapy.
• Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures, sampling and analyses.
• Aged at least 18 years
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-2.
• Prior treatment with hydroxyurea (up to 24 hours before study treatment) is allowed
• Adequate organ system function as outlined below:
• Prothrombin time (PT)/partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN. Participants with documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) who have serum bilirubin ≤3 x the ULN may be enrolled, unless there is evidence of hemolytic anemia Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ˂2.5 x ULN if no liver involvement or ≤5 times the ULN with liver involvement Creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN, OR calculated or measured creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault method, OR 24-hour measured urine creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min.
• Participants enrolled in the venetoclax combination part with a creatinine clearance (CLcr) <80 mL/min (and ≥ 45 mL/min) as calculated by Cockcroft-Gault should be able to have more intensive prophylaxis and monitoring (according to institutional standard) to reduce the risk of tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) when initiating treatment with venetoclax.
• Females should be using adequate contraception, should not be breast feeding and must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to start of dosing if of child-bearing potential or must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening: a) Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, b) have documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.
• 9 Sexually active male participants should be willing to use barrier contraception i.e., condoms. Female partners of male participants should also use a highly effective form of contraception if they are of childbearing potential, unless the male participant is abstaining from sexual intercourse.

You may not qualify if…

• Treatment with any of the following:
• Any investigational agents, experimental antibody or antibody drug conjugates, or study drugs from a previous clinical study within 3-4 weeks of said prior investigational agent(s) with regard to the first dose of study treatment on this clinical study protocol.
