NCT06812104

Brief Summary

This is the first in human study of KK2845. This trial consists of Part 1 (Dose escalation) and Part 2 (Backfill). In Part 1, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined while evaluating the safety and tolerability of KK2845 in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Part 2 will collect additional data at tolerated doses of KK2845.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who have given their free and voluntary written consent to participate in this clinical trial.
  • Patients must be at least 18 years of age at the time consent is obtained.
  • Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of AML according to the WHO classification (2022 edition) by pathological examination at the performing institution conducted as screening test.
  • Patients who meet the following definition of relapsed or refractory. Relapse: Patients with any of the following relapse findings after achieving CR, CRh, or CRi.
  • Myeloblasts \>5%
  • Blood blasts reappear in two peripheral blood samples at least one week apart Refractory: Patients who have failed to achieve CR, CRh, or CRi after a sufficient duration of initial intensive chemotherapy or initial treatment with venetoclax or hypomethylating agents.
  • Patients who are considered to have no standard treatment with sustained remission, who have failed to complete a potentially curative treatment, who have no treatment with a promising therapeutic effect, or who have refused standard treatment.
  • Patients with an ECOG PS of 0 to 2 on screening test.
  • Patients with hematopoietic, hepatic, renal, and cardiac function that meet all of the following criteria on screening test.
  • Hematopoietic capacity
  • Neutrophil count greater than 500/mm3 However, even if the neutrophil count is less than 500/mm3, if the principal investigator or sub investigator judges that the neutrophil count is expected to improve, enrollment in this study is acceptable.
  • Liver function
  • AST within 3.0 times the upper reference limit
  • ALT within 3.0 times the upper reference limit
  • T-Bil within 1.5 times the upper limit of the standard
  • +8 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who are diagnosed with APML.
  • Patients suspected extramedullary disease.
  • Patients with white blood cell count greater than 25000/mm3 (If treatment with hydroxyurea results in a white blood cell count of 25000/mm3 or less, enrollment in this study is acceptable) on screening test.
  • Patients who underwent a previous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
  • However, enrollment in this trial is permitted if all of the following criteria are met:
  • At least 6 months have elapsed since allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as of Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • The patient does not have active acute GvHD of Grade 2 or higher, nor active chronic GvHD of any severity. Acute GvHD is classified according to the MAGIC criteria (Harris et al., 2016), and chronic GvHD is classified according to the NIH criteria (Jagasia et al., 2015), by Grade or severity. Acute GvHD should be graded according to the MAGIC criteria (Harris et al., 2016), and chronic GvHD according to the NIH criteria (Jagasia et al., 2015).
  • At least 4 weeks have elapsed since the donor lymphocyte infusion at Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • Patients who have received anti-tumor therapy such as anticancer agents or radiotherapy (except for patients taking hormone therapy as adjuvant maintenance therapy for breast or prostate cancer prior to the start of study treatment) within the following time periods prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • anticancer agents: 2 weeks (If hydroxyurea is used to control blasts, registration is acceptable for use up to Day -1)
  • Hormone therapy: 2 weeks
  • Radiation therapy: 4 weeks
  • Unapproved medical devices: 4 weeks
  • Patients who received another investigational drug within 4 weeks or 5 times the half-life prior to Cycle 1 Day 1, whichever is shorter.
  • Patients who underwent major surgery (excluding biopsy, central venous catheter insertion, and tooth extractions, etc.) within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • +21 more criteria
