Clinical Trial Summary

A Phase 1/2 dose escalation / dose expansion study of DSP 5336 in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Description:

Phase 1 (dose escalation) will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (i.e. the lowest dose of DSP 5336, that provides the maximum biologic and clinical effect, or the MTD, whichever is lower) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML, ALL, or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage. Enrollment to the phase 1 portion of the study may be limited to patients with certain genetic abnormalities.

Phase 2 dose-expansion will further evaluate the safety and clinical activity of DSP 5336 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory MLLr AML or NPM1m AML.

16. Received anthracycline where cumulative doses exceeded the upper limit per the label approved in each country or investigator discretion (if there is no label restriction, investigator must state the cumulative dose received for each patient and sign to indicate that, in his/her medical opinion, stated prior dose of the agent does not put patient at undue risk of anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity

17. In the opinion of the treating investigator, have any concurrent conditions that could pose an undue medical hazard or interfere with interpretation of study results; these conditions include, but are not limited to: clinically significant non-healing or healing wounds; concurrent congestive heart failure; concurrent unstable angina; concurrent cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment (excluding asymptomatic atrial fibrillation); recent (within the prior 6 months) myocardial infarction; acute coronary syndrome within the previous 6 months; significant pulmonary disease (shortness of breath at rest or on mild exertion), eg, due to concurrent severe obstructive pulmonary disease, concurrent hypertension not controlled with concomitant medication, or diabetes mellitus with more than 2 episodes of ketoacidosis in the prior 6 months

For sites in Japan only: Hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody or hepatitis B surface (HBs) antibody test should be performed if HBsAg is negative. If HBc antibody or HBs antibody test is positive, HBV DNA quantification test should be performed to confirm that HBV DNA is negative.

19. Have advanced liver disease or cirrhosis (Child-Pugh's Class B or greater)

23. Have cognitive, psychologic, or psychosocial impediment that would impair the ability of the patient o receive therapy according to the protocol, or adversely affect the ability of the patient to comply with the informed consent process, protocol, or protocol-required visits and procedures

24. Are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant Note: Patients who are breastfeeding may be enrolled if they interrupt breastfeeding prior to the first dose of any study drugs and do not feed the baby with breast milk expressed after receiving the first dose of any study drugs. Breastfeeding should not be resumed for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug
