Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a multicenter, open label Phase I/II trial. 1. Establish the MTD of fractionated doses of Lintuzumab-Ac225 in combination with low dose cytosine arabinoside (Low Dose Ara-C, LDAC) (Phase 1 portion) 2. Determine the response rate (CR + CRp + CRi) to fractionated doses of Lintuzumab-Ac225 alone (Phase 2 portion)

Description:

The study is a multicenter, open label Phase I/II trial. Phase I, dose-escalation: This portion of the overall study uses a 3+3 design to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The starting dose level will be 1.0 μCi/Kg of Lintuzumab-Ac225 and 15 μg/Kg unlabeled HuM195 divided into 2 equal fractionated doses (0.5 μCi/Kg and 7.5 μg /Kg + 0.5 μCi/Kg and 7.5 μg /Kg) with the first fraction administered approximately 4 - 7 days after 1 cycle of LDAC (20 mg subQ every 12 h x 10 days administered for cytoreduction) and the second fraction administered 4-7 days after the first fraction. Subjects will then go on to receive up to 11 additional cycles of LDAC or until progression of disease. Three to six patients will be treated at each dose level, and dose escalation will proceed if less than 33% of patients in a cohort experience dose-limiting toxicity. Phase II, efficacy component. The study was designed as a 2- stage minimax design. Patients will be given two infusions of Lintuzumab-Ac225, 4-8 days apart (Day 5-Day 9), initially at the dose level determined to be the MTD in the Phase I portion. The second dose of Lintuzumab-Ac225 may be delayed up to 14 days after the first dose for clinical or scheduling reasons. Response will be initially assessed on or around days 28-42 after the final study drug administration. The primary endpoint (CR+CRp + CRi) will be determined on day 42. Best response will be evaluated from Day 1, Dose 1 until the end of the study.

9. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status = 2

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia

2. Treatment with chemotherapy or biologic therapy within 3 weeks, except for hydroxyurea, which must be discontinued prior to treatment on study

3. Treatment with radiation within 6 weeks

4. Active serious infections uncontrolled by antibiotics

5. Active malignancy within 2 years of entry, except previously treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and organ confined prostate cancer with no evidence of progressive disease based on PSA levels and are not on active therapy.

6. Clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary disease

7. Patients with liver cirrhosis

8. Active CNS leukemia. Patients with symptoms of CNS involvement, particularly those with M4 or M5 subtypes, should undergo lumbar puncture prior to treatment on study to exclude CNS disease. Symptoms include cranial neuropathies, other neurologic deficits, and headache.

9. Psychiatric disorder that would preclude study participation

Intervention

Drug:
• Cytarabine (Phase 1 only)
Low dose cytarabine administered at 20 mg subcutaneously every 12 hours for the first 10 days (Days 1 to 10) of every cycle. Cycle 1 can last up to 52 days (depending on the schedule of study drug dosing) in order to allow for recovery from Lintuzumab-Ac225. Cycles 2-12 will last 28 days each.

Biological:
• Lintuzumab-Ac225
In Phase 1 the starting dose level was 1.0 µCi/Kg of Lintuzumab-Ac225 and 15 µg/Kg unlabeled HuM195 divided into 2 equal fractionated doses (0.5 µCi/Kg and 7.5 µg /Kg + 0.5 µCi/Kg and 7.5 µg /Kg) with the first fraction administered approximately 4-7 days after 1 cycle of low dose cytarabine and the second fraction administered 4-7 days after the first fraction, followed by up to 11 more cycles. In Phase 2 the dose will be 4.0 µCi/Kg Lintuzumab-Ac225 and 25 µg/Kg unlabeled HuM195 divided into 2 equal fractions with the first fraction given on Day 1 and the second fraction given on Day 5-8.

Drug:
• Furosemide (Phase 1 only)
40 mg by mouth daily one day prior to treatment with Lintuzumab-Ac225 and continuing for 10 days following administration of the 2nd divided dose.
• Spironolactone
25 mg by mouth daily, administered 10 days after second dose of 225Ac-HuM195 and continued for 12 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Phase I: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lintuzumab-Ac225	If two or more patients in a cohort experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT), then maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will have been exceeded, and no further dose escalation will occur. If only three patients were treated at a dose level under consideration as the MTD, then up to three additional patients will be accrued. If no more than one of the six patients at that dose level experiences DLT, then that dose level will be confirmed as the MTD.	Cycle 1, up to 52 days
Primary	Phase II: CR+CRp+CRi	The primary objective is to determine the antileukemic effects, including its ability to produce complete remissions, of Lintuzumab-Ac225.	First evaluation at 42 days after treatment
Secondary	Phase II: PFS	Progression Free Survival	1 year
Secondary	Phase II: LFS	Leukemia Free Survival	1 year
Secondary	Phase II: OS	Overall Survival	1 year
