Clinical Trial Summary

This Phase I, multiple ascending dose study will seek to enroll subjects with relapsed/refractory Chronic B-cell Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) with confirmed and measurable disease who have received standard treatment with at least one anti-CD20 antibody (e.g.; rituximab, ofatumumab) containing front-line regimen that resulted in initial response, followed by relapse/recurrence and who are not eligible for any further approved biologic therapy, chemotherapy and/or autologous stem transplantation and/or refuse alternative approved therapies and/or are unlikely to achieve clinical benefit from any therapy of higher priority by Investigator assessment.

Description:

This study is intended to provide investigators and sponsor with the following information regarding the investigational new drug MT-3724 in patients with relapsed/refractory Chronic B-cell Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma:

The maximum dose of a single course of MT-3724 given as intravenous (IV) infusions on Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 at which there are negligible side effects and/or at which maximum serum levels and/or at which maximum effect on blood lymphocytes are observed. Four dose levels will be investigated.

The changes in MT-3724 serum levels and blood lymphocytes over time following IV doses at different points in the study.

The changes and kinds of clinical and laboratory effects and side effects that may occur over repeated courses of MT-3724 The changes in each subject's immune status and their CLL or SLL following one or more cycles of 6 infusions.

• Potential subjects who have had HD-ASCT must be at least 26 weeks beyond transplant.

• All potential subjects are required to have measurable disease following previous therapy for CLL/SLL. Measurable disease, as determined by NCI-WG criteria, following standard first-line or salvage therapy; this includes potential subjects with progressive disease (PDs), stable disease (SDs), or partial remission (PR) and/or Residual disease as determined by measurable disease (i.e., PDs, SDs, or PR) or by MRD positivity, determined by flow cytometry of bone marrow and/or peripheral blood (see Laboratory Manual) in potential subjects with Complete Response (CR) or CR with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi) (previously termed "nodular partial remission" [(nPR])

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of < 2.

• Patients must be at least 28 days past their last course of leukemia or lymphoma treatment and have recovered from side effects of such therapy completely or with only minor residual symptoms including any significant laboratory. Patients with pre-existing severe or life threatening side effects/conditions from prior therapy or due to other diseases may not be enrolled

• Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 3 days prior to initiating dosing. Male and female subjects with reproductive potential must agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods while on study therapy and for 12 week following their last dose of study medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Ongoing use of any approved or investigational anti-neoplastic therapies with the exceptions of ongoing hormonal therapy for breast cancer (without evidence of active disease) or prostate cancer (stable on hormonal therapy).

• History of an absolute anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (MAb) refractory CLL/SLL, defined as a failure to have ever achieved a PR, CR with persistent lymphocytic nodules in the marrow ("nPR"), or CR for at least 6 months in response to at least one anti-CD20 MAb-containing regimen amongst all past CLL/SLL treatments.

• Potential subjects cannot have experienced a significant (CTCAE Grade 3 or 4 with or without neutropenia) infection within 2 weeks of the first dose of MT-3724.

• Patients who cannot comply with protocol requirements including clinic visits for intravenous infusions and birth control measures may not be enrolled.

• Female patients who are pregnant or are breast feeding.

• Patients are not eligible if they are using any other approved or investigational anti-neoplastic therapies or any other investigational therapies for any other reason.

• Patients may not be receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy at a prednisone dose > 20 mg/day (or steroid equivalent) within 2 weeks of starting study.

• Patients with uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarct or unstable angina within 6 months prior to start of study treatment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or greater congestive heart failure, serious arrhythmias requiring medication for treatment, clinically significant pericardial disease, or cardiac amyloidosis may not be enrolled.

• Patients with a known history of drug abuse or any chronic neurologic, psychiatric, endocrine, metabolic, immunologic, hepatic or renal disease (including a history of hemolytic uremic syndrome) that in the opinion of the Investigator would adversely affect study participation.

• Patients with known active Hepatitis C, HIV or a present history of Hepatitis B

• Patients must not have received any vaccines for 28 days prior to administration of their first dose of MT-3724 and should not receive any vaccine during the study or within 28 days after their last dose of MT-3724.

• Patients with a suspected allergy or sensitivity to any component of MT-3724 drug preparation based upon known allergies to compounds of a similar class who have had an anaphylactic or other severe infusion reaction to human immunoglobulin or monoclonal antibody administration are not eligible.

• Potential subjects who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or any solid organ transplant.
