Experimental: ASTX295 |
Drug: ASTX295
ASTX295 orally for 28-day cycle continuous or on an intermittent dosing schedule. |
- Phase 1a: Safety and tolerability of ASTX295 including determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) to Phase 1b [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment ]
- Phase 1b: Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and regimen of ASTX295 to proceed to Phase 2 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment, an average of 6 months to 1 year ]The RP2D will be based on incidence and severity of AEs, including SAEs and will be determined by the data and safety review committee (DSRC)
- Phase 2: Disease control rate (DCR) in Cohort 1 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until Week 16 ]DCR will be calculated in Cohort 1 as the number of subjects whose response at Week 16 is CR, partial response (PR), or stable disease, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for DCR analysis.
- Phase 2: Overall response rate (ORR) in Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year ]ORR in Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis.
- Phase 1: Preliminary clinical activity of ASTX295 as assessed by disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until Week 16 ]DCR will be calculated as the number of subjects whose response at Week 16 is CR, PR, or stable disease, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for DCR analysis
- Phase 1: Preliminary clinical activity as assessed by objective response rate (ORR) of ASTX295 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year ]ORR will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis
- Phase 2: Safety profile of ASTX295 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment, an average of 6 months to 1 year ]Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)
- Phase 2: Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 1 year ]PFS is defined as the time from date of the first dose until the earliest date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first
- Phase 2: Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 1 year ]OS is defined as the time from the date of first dose to date of death due to any cause
- Phase 2: Overall response rate (ORR) in Cohort 1 [ Time Frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year ]ORR in Cohort 1 will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis.
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (area under the curve [AUC]) [ Time Frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (minimum concentration [Cmin]) [ Time Frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (maximum concentration [Cmax]) [ Time Frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (time to reach maximum concentration [Tmax]) [ Time Frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (elimination half-life [t½]) [ Time Frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
