Acute Myeloid Leukemia | Drug: siremadlin Drug: venetoclax Drug: azacitidine | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine can enhance the clinical response in unfit AML patients without unacceptable levels of treatment-emergent toxicities. The recommended dose of siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine will be determined to be explored further in the expansion phase and the preliminary efficacy in achieving Complete Remission (CR) will be evaluated in participants who responded sub-optimally to first-line venetoclax plus azacitidine treatment.
The study will be conducted in two parts. The primary purpose of Part 1 (Safety Run-in) is to rule out excessive toxicity of siremadlin when administered in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine while the primary purpose of Part 2 (Expansion) is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of siremadlin when combined with venetoclax plus azacitidine in the respective patient population.
The study treatment (siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine) will be administered in cycles with a planned duration of 28 days and will continue until the participants experience disease progression/relapse or unacceptable toxicity.
In the Safety run-in part, 9-15 participants will be enrolled in each arms. Approximately 3-6 participants will be enrolled at the starting dose level of siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine in both arms independently. Provided the starting dose level is determined to be safe, approximately 6-9 additional participants will be enrolled at dose level +1. Safety review meetings will take place involving participating investigators and the Sponsor Team to make decisions regarding siremadlin dose and determine the recommended dose for expansion. Approximately 26 patients will be treated at the recommended dose in the expansion part.
