Clinical Trial Summary

An open-label, phase I, multi-center study to determine in relapsed/refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients the recommended dose of CYAD‑02 after a non-myeloablative preconditioning chemotherapy followed by a potential CYAD‑02 consolidation cycle for non-progressive patient. A maximum of 27 r/r AML/MDS patients will be evaluated in this study in case of no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and no replacement of patients.

Description:

This open-label phase I, multi-center study aims to determine in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome patients the recommended dose of CYAD-02 after a non-myeloablative preconditioning chemotherapy followed by a potential CYAD-02 consolidation cycle for non-progressive patients.

During dose escalation, three prespecified dose-levels of CYAD-02 will be evaluated in three cohorts. Patient enrollment during dose-escalation will be staggered according to the Fibonacci 3+3 design and extension of cohorts II and III will be done in parallel. The first CYAD-02 infusion will be administered after prior non-myeloablative preconditioning chemotherapy (CYFLU) administered on three consecutive days.

Non-progressive patients meeting the criteria specified below may receive a consolidation cycle with three additional CYAD-02 infusions at a 2-week interval without prior preconditioning.

For all patients who received at least one CYAD-02 infusion, the overall study duration will be approximately 15 years.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria (main):

• Failure to achieve a Complete Response after induction chemotherapy.

2. A confirmed MDS as defined by revised International Prognostic Scoring System criteria for intermediate, high-risk or very high-risk disease or MDS with Tumor Protein 53 mutation as detected by next-generation sequencing, after failure of prior treatment with at least 4 cycles of azacitidine or decitabine defined as:

• No response to treatment,
