Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Phase 1 Dose Escalation Arm A in patients with R/R Solid Tumors and Lymphomas
KT-253 dosed intravenous (IV) once every three weeks in 21-day cycles
|

KT-253 will be administered intravenously per the defined protocol frequency and dose level. |
Experimental: Phase 1 Dose Escalation Arm B in patients with R/R High Grade Myeloid Malignancies and ALL
KT-253 dosed IV once every three weeks in 21-day cycles
|
Drug: KT-253
KT-253 will be administered intravenously per the defined protocol frequency and dose level. |
- Incidence and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: From the time of signing ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug or prior to start of a new anticancer therapy ]Adverse events graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 5.0
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Patients [ Time Frame: From the time of the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or prior to start of a new anticancer therapy ]MTD and RP2D will be determined in patients with R/R high grade myeloid malignancies, ALL, and separately, in patients with lymphomas and advanced solid tumors
- Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of KT-253 [ Time Frame: Blood samples for PK analysis collected up to Day15 during cycle 1 and cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days) ]To determine the AUC from plasma concentrations in patients
- Maximum Plasma Concentration of KT-253 (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Blood samples for PK analysis collected up to Day15 during cycle 1 and cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days) ]To determine the Cmax from plasma concentrations in patients
- Time to maximum plasma concentration of KT-253 (Tmax) [ Time Frame: Blood samples for PK analysis collected up to Day15 during cycle 1 and cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days) ]To determine the Tmax from plasma concentrations in patients
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in AML patients [ Time Frame: From the time of the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until disease recurrence or death, whichever occurs first, about 18 months ]Percentage of patients with Morphologic leukemia free state (MLFS), complete remission (CR), CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) according to the International Working Group (IWG)
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in ALL patients [ Time Frame: From the time of the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until disease recurrence or death, whichever occurs first, about 18 months ]Hematological remission rate defined as CR and CRh per NCCN guidelines
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in High-Risk Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients [ Time Frame: From the time of the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until disease recurrence or death, whichever occurs first, about 18 months ]Complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), Marrow CR and hematologic improvement (HI) per IWG criteria
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in MDS/ Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) patients [ Time Frame: From the time of the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until disease recurrence or death, whichever occurs first, about 18 months ]Percentage of patients with CR, PR, and Marrow Response per MDS/MPN IWG
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in R/R Lymphoma patients [ Time Frame: From Baseline scan until first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first , about 18 months ]Overall Response Rate (ORR) based on Investigator's assessment as per Lugano criteria 2014 for Lymphomas
- Evidence of Clinical activity of KT-253 in R/R Solid Tumor patients [ Time Frame: From Baseline scan until first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first, about 18 months ]Overall Response Rate (ORR) defined as percentage of patients with Complete Response or Partial Response per RECIST 1.1
- Duration of Response (DOR) in Patients Treated with KT-253 [ Time Frame: From date of first of response to the date of documented first progression or death whichever comes first, about 18 months ]Duration of Response (DOR) in R/R high grade myeloid malignancies and ALL, lymphoma and solid tumor patients treated with KT-253
