Safety and Efficacy of RVU120 Combined With Venetoclax for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory AML
RIVER-81

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RVU120 when administered in combination with venetoclax to adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are relapsed or refractory to prior therapy with venetoclax and a hypomethylating agent. The study consists of three parts. Part 1 aims to identify the doses of RVU120 and venetoclax that are considered to be safe and tolerated. Part 2 will assess the safety and efficacy of the doses selected. And Part 3 is a confirmatory cohort where patients will be treated at the same doses assessed in Part 2

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
(Part 1) recommended doses of RVU120 and venetoclax for further study
Incidence and severity of toxicities and number of dose limiting toxicities per dose cohort
approx. 12 months
(Parts 2 & 3) CR/CRh rate (Complete Remission/Complete Remission with incomplete Hematologic Recovery)
Preliminary efficacy of RVU120 combined with venetoclax to recommended doses from Part 1. A response of CRh is defined as bone marrow with \<5% blasts, peripheral blood neutrophil count \>0.5 x 10(3)/mcL, and peripheral blood platelet count of \>0.5 x 10(5)/mcL
approx. 36 months
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Incidence and severity of adverse events (safety and tolerability)
approx. 36 months
Duration of response
approx. 36 months
Post baseline transfusion independence rate
approx. 36 months
Progression-free survival
approx. 36 months
Relapse-free survival
approx. 36 months
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
RVU120 + Venetoclax
EXPERIMENTALRVU120 oral capsule, 125 or 250 mg administered every other day on Days 1-13 of each 21-day cycle of treatment, combined with venetoclax oral tablet, 200 or 400 mg administered once daily on Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle of treatment
Interventions
RVU120 is a potent, selective inhibitor of CDK8 and its paralog CDK19
Venetoclax specifically binds to BCL-2, displacing proapoptotic proteins and triggering events that lead to apoptosis
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have a diagnosis of AML (per 2022 WHO classification)
- Patients must have relapsed or refractory AML (per ELN 2022 criteria)
- Patients must have failed first-line treatment with venetoclax combined with a hypomethylating agent
- Patients must have no alternative therapeutic options likely to produce clinical benefit
- Patients must have ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
- Patients must have adequate end organ function defined as:
- WBC \< 25 x 10(9)/L on Day 1 prior to first dose of study drug
- Platelet count \> 10,000/mcL on Day 1 prior to first dose of study drug
- AST (aspartate transaminase) and ALT (alanine transaminase) ≤ 3 x ULN (upper limit of normal)
- Total bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN
- Creatinine clearance (Cockcroft \& Gault formula) ≥ 50 mL/min
- LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) ≥ 40% by electrocardiography
- Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document and complete study related procedures
You may not qualify if:
- APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia), the M3 subtype of AML
- Active CNS (central nervous system) leukemia

- Evidence of ongoing or uncontrolled systemic bacterial, fungal or viral infection and acute inflammatory conditions (including pancreatitis)
- Ongoing significant liver disease such as cirrhosis, drug-induced liver injury, active hepatitis, or chronic persistent hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C
- Ongoing drug-induced pneumonitis
- Significant cardiac dysfunction, defined as myocardial infarction within 12 months prior to the first dose of study drug, NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled dysrhythmias, poorly controlled angina
- History of ventricular arrhythmia or QTc ≥ 470 ms (Bazett's formula)
- Prior history of malignancies other than AML, unless disease-free for 5 years or more or prior basal cell carcinoma of the skin, non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of cervix, breast or bladder, and incidental histological finding of prostate cancer (TMN stage T1a or T1b)
- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of RVU120 and/or venetoclax
