Project description:Small molecule potent IRAK4 inhibitors from a novel bicyclic heterocycle class were designed and synthesized based on hits identified from Aurigene's compound library. The advanced lead compound, CA-4948, demonstrated good cellular activity in ABC DLBCL and AML cell lines. Inhibition of TLR signaling leading to decreased IL-6 levels was also observed in whole blood assays. CA-4948 demonstrated moderate to high selectivity in a panel of 329 kinases as well as exhibited desirable ADME and PK profiles including good oral bioavailability in mice, rat, and dog and showed >90% tumor growth inhibition in relevant tumor models with excellent correlation with in vivo PD modulation. CA-4948 was well tolerated in toxicity studies in both mouse and dog at efficacious exposure. The overall profile of CA-4948 prompted us to select it as a clinical candidate for evaluation in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:IntroductionEverolimus and bendamustine both have single-agent activity against lymphoid hematologic malignancies. We examined this combination in a group of heavily pretreated patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and multiple myeloma (MM).Patients and methodsIn this phase I trial, 18 patients (8 with NHL, 6 with MM, and 4 with HL) were treated with bendamustine 90 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 and everolimus from 5 to 10 mg daily on a 28-day cycle, for up to 4 cycles.ResultsAdverse events were generally mild and mostly hematologic in nature. The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events were lymphopenia (61%), thrombocytopenia (22%), leukopenia (22%), neutropenia (17%), and fatigue (17%). Overall response rate varied by malignancy: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 20% (1 of 5 patients); HL (2 of 4 patients), 50%; MM, 80% (4 of 5 patients); and indolent lymphomas, 100% (3 of 3 patients). The maximum tolerated dose of everolimus was determined to be 7.5 mg daily.ConclusionThe combination of everolimus and bendamustine appeared to be well-tolerated and relatively efficacious.

Project description:PurposeMolibresib is a selective, small molecule inhibitor of the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) protein family. This was an open-label, two-part, Phase I/II study investigating molibresib monotherapy for the treatment of hematological malignancies (NCT01943851).Patients and methodsPart 1 (dose escalation) determined the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of molibresib in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or multiple myeloma. Part 2 (dose expansion) investigated the safety and efficacy of molibresib at the RP2D in patients with relapsed/refractory myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; as well as AML evolved from antecedent MDS) or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The primary endpoint in Part 1 was safety and the primary endpoint in Part 2 was objective response rate (ORR).ResultsThere were 111 patients enrolled (87 in Part 1, 24 in Part 2). Molibresib RP2Ds of 75 mg daily (for MDS) and 60 mg daily (for CTCL) were selected. Most common Grade 3+ adverse events included thrombocytopenia (37%), anemia (15%), and febrile neutropenia (15%). Six patients achieved complete responses [3 in Part 1 (2 AML, 1 NHL), 3 in Part 2 (MDS)], and 7 patients achieved partial responses [6 in Part 1 (4 AML, 2 NHL), 1 in Part 2 (MDS)]. The ORRs for Part 1, Part 2, and the total study population were 10% [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.8-18.7], 25% (95% CI, 7.3-52.4), and 13% (95% CI, 6.9-20.6), respectively.ConclusionsWhile antitumor activity was observed with molibresib, use was limited by gastrointestinal and thrombocytopenia toxicities. Investigations of molibresib as part of combination regimens may be warranted.

Project description:PurposeSurvival and progression of mature B-cell malignancies depend on signals from the B-cell antigen receptor, and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a critical signaling kinase in this pathway. We evaluated ibrutinib (PCI-32765), a small-molecule irreversible inhibitor of BTK, in patients with B-cell malignancies.Patients and methodsPatients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia received escalating oral doses of ibrutinib. Two schedules were evaluated: one, 28 days on, 7 days off; and two, once-daily continuous dosing. Occupancy of BTK by ibrutinib in peripheral blood was monitored using a fluorescent affinity probe. Dose escalation proceeded until either the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) was achieved or, in the absence of MTD, until three dose levels above full BTK occupancy by ibrutinib. Response was evaluated every two cycles.ResultsFifty-six patients with a variety of B-cell malignancies were treated over seven cohorts. Most adverse events were grade 1 and 2 in severity and self-limited. Dose-limiting events were not observed, even with prolonged dosing. Full occupancy of the BTK active site occurred at 2.5 mg/kg per day, and dose escalation continued to 12.5 mg/kg per day without reaching MTD. Pharmacokinetic data indicated rapid absorption and elimination, yet BTK occupancy was maintained for at least 24 hours, consistent with the irreversible mechanism. Objective response rate in 50 evaluable patients was 60%, including complete response of 16%. Median progression-free survival in all patients was 13.6 months.ConclusionIbrutinib, a novel BTK-targeting inhibitor, is well tolerated, with substantial activity across B-cell histologies.

Project description:Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) consist of a diverse family of malignancies, which are derived from B-cells. The disease subtypes are recognized extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZLs. The disease characteristics, clinical course, and treatment vary considerably based on the site of involvement. In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration approved ibrutinib, a first in class Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that revolutionized the care of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients; for, the treatment of relapsed/refractory MZL based on pivotal open-label Phase II trial demonstrated an overall response rate of 48%, with a complete response rate of 3%, median progression-free survival of 14.2 months, and median overall survival not yet reached at a median follow-up of 19.4 months. In this review, we aim to summarize the current conundrums in the management of MZL and the evolving role of ibrutinib in the treatment of MZL.

Project description:PurposeAZD5991, a human MCL-1 inhibitor, was assessed for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity as monotherapy and in combination with venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies.Patients and methodsIn the monotherapy cohort (n = 61), patients with hematologic malignancies received AZD5991 intravenously in escalating doses either once or twice weekly, following intrapatient dose escalation, during a 3-week cycle. In the combination cohort (n = 17), patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome received escalating doses of AZD5991 and venetoclax during either a 3- or 4-week cycle. Primary objectives were safety and maximum tolerated dose; secondary objectives included plasma pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity.ResultsThe most common (≥30%) adverse events were diarrhea (59.0%), nausea (55.1%), and vomiting (47.4%). Four deaths occurred because of adverse events: cardiac arrest, sepsis, tumor lysis syndrome, and acute respiratory failure; only tumor lysis syndrome was related to AZD5991. Dose-limiting toxicities occurred in five patients. Three patients with myelodysplastic syndrome achieved an objective response: one marrow complete remission without hematologic improvement, one partial remission with AZD5991 monotherapy, and one marrow complete remission with AZD5991 + venetoclax. Asymptomatic elevations of troponin I or T were observed in eight (10.3%) patients. Post hoc retrospective analysis revealed elevated troponin T in 14/31 patients before any AZD5991 dose and in 54/65 patients after any AZD5991 dose at or after Cycle 1. No associations were found between elevated troponin and cardiovascular risk factors.ConclusionsTreatment with AZD5991 was associated with high incidence of laboratory troponin elevation and a low overall response rate.

Project description:Purpose: A phase I study was conducted to determine the MTD, dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), and pharmacokinetics of fenretinide delivered as an intravenous emulsion in relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.Experimental Design: Fenretinide (80-1,810 mg/m2/day) was administered by continuous infusion on days 1 to 5, in 21-day cycles, using an accelerated titration design.Results: Twenty-nine patients, treated with a median of three prior regimens (range, 1-7), were enrolled and received the test drug. Ninety-seven courses were completed. An MTD was reached at 1,280 mg/m2/day for 5 days. Course 1 DLTs included 6 patients with hypertriglyceridemia, 4 of whom were asymptomatic; 2 patients experienced DLT thrombocytopenia (asymptomatic). Of 11 patients with response-evaluable peripheral T-cell lymphomas, two had complete responses [CR, progression-free survival (PFS) 68+ months; unconfirmed CR, PFS 14+ months], two had unconfirmed partial responses (unconfirmed PR, PFS 5 months; unconfirmed PR, PFS 6 months), and five had stable disease (2-12 cycles). One patient with mature B-cell lymphoma had an unconfirmed PR sustained for two cycles. Steady-state plasma levels were approximately 10 mcg/mL (mid-20s μmol/L) at 640 mg/m2/day, approximately 14 mcg/mL (mid-30s μmol/L) at 905 mg/m2/day, and approximately 22 mcg/mL (mid-50s μmol/L) at 1,280 mg/m2/day.Conclusions: Intravenous fenretinide obtained significantly higher plasma levels than a previous capsule formulation, had acceptable toxicities, and evidenced antitumor activity in peripheral T-cell lymphomas. A recommended phase II dosing is 600 mg/m2 on day 1, followed by 1,200 mg/m2 on days 2 to 5, every 21 days. A registration-enabling phase II study in relapsed/refractory PTCL (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02495415) is ongoing. Clin Cancer Res; 23(16); 4550-5. ©2017 AACR.

Project description:PurposeLenalidomide is effective in myeloma and low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes with deletion 5q. We report results of a phase I dose-escalation trial of lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory acute leukemia.Patients and methodsThirty-one adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and four adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were enrolled. Lenalidomide was given orally at escalating doses of 25 to 75 mg daily on days 1 through 21 of 28-day cycles to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), as well as to provide pharmacokinetic and preliminary efficacy data.ResultsPatients had a median age of 63 years (range, 22 to 79 years) and a median of two prior therapies (range, one to four therapies). The DLT was fatigue; 50 mg/d was the MTD. Infectious complications were frequent. Plasma lenalidomide concentration increased proportionally with dose. In AML, five (16%) of 31 patients achieved complete remission (CR); three of three patients with cytogenetic abnormalities achieved cytogenetic CR (none with deletion 5q). Response duration ranged from 5.6 to 14 months. All responses occurred in AML with low presenting WBC count. No patient with ALL responded. Two of four patients who received lenalidomide as initial therapy for AML relapse after allogeneic transplantation achieved durable CR after development of cutaneous graft-versus-host disease, without donor leukocyte infusion.ConclusionLenalidomide was safely escalated to 50 mg daily for 21 days, every 4 weeks, and was active with relatively low toxicity in patients with relapsed/refractory AML. Remissions achieved after transplantation suggest a possible immunomodulatory effect of lenalidomide, and results provide enthusiasm for further studies in AML, either alone or in combination with conventional agents or other immunotherapies.
