NCT02158858

Brief Summary

Phase 1 Part: Open-label, sequential dose escalation study of pelabresib (CPI-0610) in patients with previously treated Acute Leukemia, Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, and Phase 2 Part: Open-label study of pelabresib (CPI-0610) with and without Ruxolitinib in patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (Myelofibrosis and Essential Thrombocythemia). Pelabresib (CPI-0610) is a small molecule inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Phase 1: Frequency of Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CPI-0610 and characterize its DLTs in patients with acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN), and myelofibrosis (MF), when given once daily by mouth for 14 consecutive days followed by a 7-day break.

    DLTs assessed during Cycle 1 (cycle = 21 days)

  • Phase 2 (Cohorts 1B, 2B, and Arm 3): Splenic Response Rate by Imaging

    Splenic response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a ≥ 35% reduction from baseline spleen size by imaging (MRI or CT) after 24 weeks of treatment.

    24 weeks (Cycle 9, Day 1)

  • Phase 2 (Cohorts 1A and 2A): Conversion rate from Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion dependence (TD) to transfusion independence (TI)

    Conversion rate is defined as the proportion of patients who convert from TD to TI, where TD is defined as receiving an average of ≥ 2 units of RBC transfusions per month (total of ≥ 6 RBC transfusions during the 12 weeks) prior to enrollment and TI is defined as absence of RBC transfusions over any consecutive 12 week period

    12 consecutive weeks (rolling window, assessed after 24 weeks)

  • Phase 2 (Arm 4): Complete Hematological Response (CHR) Rate

    Complete CHR rate is defined as the proportion of patients who meet the criteria for CHR, as assessed by modified European LeukemiaNet (ELN) criteria: platelet count ≤400 × 10⁹/L, WBC ≤10 × 10⁹/L, laboratory results confirmed after 1 cycle, and normal spleen size by palpation or imaging.

    Over 2 consecutive cycles (rolling window) (1 cycle = 21 days)

Secondary Outcomes (23)

  • Phase 1: Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Through Phase I completion, an average of 4 years

  • Phase 2 (All Arms): Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Through Phase II completion, an average of 6 years

  • Phase 2 (All Arms): Change from Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at 12 and 24 weeks

    Baseline, 12 weeks (Cycle 5, Day 1), 24 weeks (Cycle 9, Day 1)

  • Phase 2 (Arms 1, 2 and 3): Change from Baseline in Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF v4.0) at 12 and 24 weeks

    Baseline, 12 weeks (Cycle 5, Day 1), 24 weeks (Cycle 9, Day 1)

  • Phase 2 (Arms 1, 2 and 3): Percentage of patients who achieve a ≥ 50% reduction in Total Symptom Score (TSS) at 12 and 24 weeks

    12 weeks (Cycle 5, Day 1), 24 weeks (Cycle 9, Day 1)

  • +18 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (5)

EXPERIMENTAL

Open to high-risk patients with ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea (HU) (pelabresib (CPI-0610) alone)

Drug: Pelabresib

Interventions

CPI-0610 is administered orally once daily for 14 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break (1 cycle = 21 days)

Also known as: CPI-0610, DAK539
Phase 1Phase 2 (Arm 1): Prior JAKi Monotherapy Arm (MF patients treated with pelabresib alone)Phase 2 (Arm 2): Prior JAKi Combination ArmPhase 2 (Arm 3): JAKi Naïve Combination ArmPhase 2 (Arm 4): Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Monotherapy Arm

Ruxolitinib is given orally, twice daily (BID), on a continuous basis for 21 consecutive days of each 21-day cycle.

Phase 2 (Arm 2): Prior JAKi Combination ArmPhase 2 (Arm 3): JAKi Naïve Combination Arm
