Ziftomenib Maintenance After Stem Cell Transplant for AML

This study is testing a drug called ziftomenib for people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are in remission (cancer is not active) and have received an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT), also known as a stem cell transplant. Ziftomenib is an oral medication taken once daily. Researchers want to see if ziftomenib, given after your transplant, is safe and helps improve outcomes by targeting certain pathways (RAF) in cancer cells. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have AML in remission, and have recently had an allo-HCT. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose of ziftomenib. This study plans to enroll 22 participants.

Study design
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, open-label study. It will enroll 22 participants to find the safest and most effective dose of ziftomenib.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint for safety (Maximum Tolerated Dose) is measured at 28 days.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

18 years or older.
Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi) at screening.
Complete remission (CR):
no circulating blasts in peripheral blood and \<5% blasts in bone marrow
no extramedullary disease
platelet count ≥100 x 10(9)/L and/or absolute neutrophil count ≥1000/µL
Complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi):
no circulating blasts in peripheral blood and \<5% blasts in bone marrow
no extramedullary disease
platelet count \<100 x 10(9)/L and/or absolute neutrophil count \<1000/µL
Presence of at least one of the following molecular mutations:
KMT2A rearrangement
Eligibility and enrollment will be based on local mutational testing.
The presence of a KMT2A rearrangement (excluding partial tandem duplication \[PTD\]) at the time of initial diagnosis or any other time thereafter is sufficient.
Participants may receive additional treatment for AML between consent and transplant.
NPM1 mutation
Eligibility and enrollment will be based on local mutational testing.
For participants being transplanted in CR1, the presence of a NPM1 mutation at screening is necessary for the purposes of eligibility.
For participants being transplanted in greater than or equal to CR2, the presence of a NPM1 mutation at the time of consent is not necessary for eligibility and its presence at the time of initial diagnosis or any other time thereafter is sufficient.
Participants may receive additional treatment for AML between consent and transplant.
Treatment with a menin inhibitor prior to transplant is permitted. However, patients who experienced AML relapse or progression while being treated with a menin inhibitor prior to transplant are ineligible.
Will undergo first allogeneic HCT for their malignancy.
Transplantation will be performed with the use of conventional myeloablative (MAC) or reduced intensity conditioning (RIC).
HCT Donor will be one of the following:
5/6 or 6/6 (HLA-A, B, DR) matched related donor
7/8 or 8/8 (HLA-A, B, DR, C) matched unrelated donor. Matching in the unrelated setting must be at the allele level.
Haploidentical related donor, defined as ≥ 3/6 (HLA-A, B, DR) matched
≥ 4/6 (HLA-A, B, DR) umbilical cord blood (UCB). Matching in the UCB setting is at the antigen level. Recipients may receive either one or two UCB units. In the case of 2 UCB units, both units must have been at least 4/6 matched with the recipient.
Any non-investigational GVHD prophylaxis regimen is allowed.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.
Participants must have normal organ and function as defined below:
AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) and Alkaline phosphatase \< 3x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x institutional ULN (with the exception of subjects with a history of Gilbert's syndrome, for which the total bilirubin must be \< 5 x ULN)
Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
LVEF must be ≥50%, as measured by MUGA scan or echocardiogram.
Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, as measured by serum or urine testing.
The effects of ziftomenib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) during the entire study treatment period and through 6 months after the last dose of treatment.
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion

History of other malignancy(ies) unless
the participant has been disease-free for at least 2 years and is deemed by the investigator to be at low risk of recurrence of that malignancy, or
the cancer has been deemed indolent with no progression over the last 2 years, and deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for further progression during the course of study and follow-up
the only prior malignancy was cervical cancer in situ and/or basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
Known diagnosis of active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
Current or history of congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NHYA) class 3 or 4, or any history of documented diastolic or systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 50%, as measured by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram)
Current or history of ventricular or life-threatening arrhythmias or diagnosis of long-QT syndrome
Systemic uncontrolled infection
Known dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other condition(s) that limits the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally
Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \> 180 mmHg or diastolic BP \> 100 mmHg)
QTc interval (i.e., Friderica's correction \[QTcF\]) ≥ 480 ms or other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome) at screening
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Persons who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (Dose Escalation)28 days

    Defined as the highest dose level at which 1 or 0 of 6 patients experience a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT). Toxicities will be graded and documented according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0. A non-hematologic DLT is any grade 3 adverse event (AE) lasting \>72 hours or any grade greater than or equal to 4 AE that is at least possibly related to the study drug with exceptions. Any ≥ grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity that the participant finds intolerable or renders the participant unable to take 75% or more of the assigned doses (e.g. multiple dose interruptions) during the first cycle will be considered a DLT.
