Eligibility Criteria
Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
You may qualify if:
Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
Must have definitive diagnosis of MDS with very low, low, or intermediate-1 risk (International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS)-R ≤ 3.5) and ≤5% bone marrow myeloblasts.
This estimate has passed. The registry has not confirmed an actual date for this milestone.
Must be relapsed, refractory/resistant, intolerant, or have inadequate response to therapies with known clinical benefits for MDS, such as EPOs, luspatercept, and HMAs(i.e., azacytidine or decitabine). Patients with del (5q) must have failed prior lenalidomide therapy.
DOSE ESCALATION PHASE:
a. Must meet at least one of the following criteria prior to initial administration of study treatment: 1) Symptomatic anemia with hemoglobin \< 9.0 g/dL and no RBC transfusion within 16 of registration or 2) RBC transfusion dependent defined as receiving ≥ 2 units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) within 8 weeks in the preceding 16 weeks for a hemoglobin \<9.0 g/dL.
DOSE EXPANSION PHASE:
Relapsed, refractory to or ineligible for ESAs and has previously received one or more approved therapies for LR-MDS
Must be RBC transfusion dependent defined as receiving ≥ 2 units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) within 8 weeks in the preceding 16 weeks for a hemoglobin \<9.0 g/dL.
EXPLORATORY PHASE 1b COHORT:
Transfusion-dependent LR-MDS who are refractory or intolerant to, or are ineligible for ESAs.
No prior therapy with any approved or investigational therapies for MDS
No del 5q cytogenetic abnormality
RBC transfusion dependent defined as receiving ≥ 2 units of PRBCs within 8 weeks in the preceding 16 weeks for a hemoglobin \<9.0 g/dL
All patients must have documented marrow iron stores. If marrow iron stain is not available, the transferrin saturation must be \>20% or a serum ferritin \> 100ng/100mL
Must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2 at screening.
+5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
Prior treatment for MDS (i.e., TPOs, EPOs, luspatercept, HMAs) concluded \< 4 weeks prior to study treatment
Clinically significant anemia resulting from iron, B12 or folate deficiencies, autoimmune or hereditary hemolysis, or GI bleeding.
MDS secondary to treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy for malignant or autoimmune diseases.
Diagnosis of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
History of uncontrolled seizures.
Uncontrolled bacterial or viral infection (i.e., documented HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C).
History of other malignancy that could affect compliance or interpretation of results. Patients with an malignancy other than leukemia appropriately treated with curative intent and the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for ≥ 2 years prior to study entry are eligible as are:
Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or
Low grade, early-stage prostate cancer (Gleason score 6 or below, stage 1 or 2) with no requirement for therapy at any time prior to the study, or previously resected.
History of or active, clinically significant, cardiovascular, respiratory, GI, renal, hepatic, neurological, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, dermatological, or other disorder that, in the Investigator's opinion (or following review by the Sponsor), could affect the conduct of the study or the absorption, metabolism or excretion of the study treatment.
Prior history of autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval \> 480 milliseconds \[msec\]) (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] Grade 1) using Fridericia's QT correction formula.
History of additional risk factors for TdP (e.g., symptomatic heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] \<40%, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome).
Receiving any other concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy (within 2 weeks of initiating study treatment), or the toxicity of the relevant prior treatment has not been resolved yet. For any long-acting systemic agent such as a monoclonal antibody, study treatment should not begin within two half-lives of the agent.
