Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics Study of KPG-818 in Hematological Malignancies Subjects

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics(PK), and preliminary clinical activity of KPG-818 as a single agent in adult subjects with selected hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), indolent lymphoma, adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study will assist in identifying appropriate, well tolerated doses that can be administered in subsequent studies in subjects with selected hematological malignancies.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must satisfy all of the following criteria at the Screening visit unless otherwise stated:

1. ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).

2. Willing and able to provide written consent.

3. Willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

4. Hematocytological or pathological diagnosis of MM, MCL, DLBCL, ATL, indolent lymphoma, such as FL and CLL/SLL, etc.

*Definition of ALL FDA approved therapies are specified as below:

Prior treatments for MM subjects:

• Received at least 3 prior anti-myeloma regimens including at least 2 consecutive cycles of lenalidomide, pomalidomide, a proteasome inhibitor, a glucocorticoid and an anti-CD38 antibody (induction with or without a bone marrow transplant with or without maintenance therapy is considered one regimen).

• Refractory disease defined as disease that is nonresponsive to therapy (failure to achieve minimal response or development of progressive disease) or disease progression within 60 days from the last dose of their last myeloma therapy.

Prior treatments for NHL subjects:

• ATL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy containing alkylator-based chemotherapy.

• MCL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including CD20 antibody and alkylator chemotherapy, and a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.

• DLBCL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including prior CD20 antibody therapy, and has received prior autologous bone marrow transplant (or is ineligible for bone marrow transplant).

• FL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including CD20 antibody therapy and alkylator chemotherapy.

• CLL/SLL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy for CLL/SLL and require treatment by 2018 iwCLL criteria.

• Other indolent NHL: Subjects must have been treated with all standard of care therapies available to the subject which, in the assessment of the investigator, may be beneficial to the subject.

6. Have measurable or assessable disease.

For MM:

• M-protein quantities ≥ 0.5 g/dL by serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP or SIFE) or

• M-protein quantities ≥ 200 mg/24-hour urine collection by urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP or UIFE) or

• Serum free light chain (FLC) levels > 100 mg/L involved light chain and an abnormal kappa/lambda (κ/λ) ratio in subjects without detectable serum or urine M-protein or

• For subjects with immunoglobulin (Ig) class A (IgA) myeloma whose disease can only be reliably measured by quantitative Ig measurement, a serum IgA level ≥ 0.50 g/dL.

For MCL, DLBCL, ATL, indolent lymphoma, such as FL and CLL/SLL, etc.:

• At least 1 bidimensionally measurable lesion larger than 1.5 cm in largest dimension by computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.

7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. ECOG of 2 is allowed during dose expansion.

8. Males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use at least two methods of contraception, as detailed in Section 6.1.3, during the study treatment and continue until 3 months after the completion of study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded from the study if they satisfy any of the following criteria at the Screening visit unless otherwise stated:

1. Has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study.

2. Currently enrolled in another clinical study, except observational studies.

3. Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or lymphomatous meningitis.

4. Persisting toxicities related to prior anticancer treatment > Grade 1 according to NCI CTCAE v5.0.

5. Major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 6 weeks prior to Screening or planned major surgery during the study period.

6. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.0 × 109/L.

• Hemoglobin ≤ 7.5 g/dL (red blood cell [RBC] transfusion is allowed to meet eligibility).

• AST and/or ALT ≥ 2.5 × ULN or ≥ 5.0 × ULN if liver tumor is present.

• Estimated serum creatinine clearance of ≤ 60 mL/min or requiring dialysis；estimated serum creatinine clearance between 50-60 mL/min may be enrolled for KPG-818 dose ≤ 10mg/day. For subjects with serum creatinine clearance between 50-60 mL/min at screening, serum creatinine clearance levels should be monitored during the study.
