Leukemia, Myelomonocytic, Chronic | Drug: Tipifarnib | Phase 2 |
This Phase 2 study will investigate the antitumor activity in terms of ORR of tipifarnib in subjects with Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasias (MDS/MPN cohorts) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML cohorts). For MDS/MPN cohorts, this study will assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib, in terms of ORR, in subjects with MDS/MPN, including CMML, who have a high ratio of expression of CXCR4 to CXCR2 (CXCR4/2 ratio) in their bone marrow and in those with a low CXCR4/2 ratio. For AML cohorts, this study will assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib, in terms of ORR, in subjects with AML who have a high ratio of expression of CXCR4 to CXCR2 (CXCR4/2 ratio) in their bone marrow and in those with low CXCR4/2 ratio. Subjects enrolled in the study will consist of patients with KRAS, NRAS wild type status.
- Subjects with MDS/MPN with high CXCR4/2 ratio
- Subjects with MDS/MPN with low CXCR4/2 ratio
- Subjects with AML with high CXCR4/2 ratio
- Subjects with AML with low CXCR4/2 ratio

- To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib in CMML subjects [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib, in terms of Objective Response Rate (ORR), in subjects with CMML and in subjects with CMML whose disease is KRAS/NRAS wild type.
- To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib in MDS/MPN subjects [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib, in terms of ORR, in subjects with MDS/MPN, including CMML, who have a high ratio of expression of CXCR4 to CXCR2 (CXCR4/2 ratio) in their bone marrow and in those with low CXCR4/2 ratio.
- To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib in AML subjects [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the antitumor activity of tipifarnib, in terms of ORR, in subjects with AML who have a high ratio of expression of CXCR4 to CXCR2 (CXCR4/2 ratio) in their bone marrow and in those with low CXCR4/2 ratio.
- Rate of complete response (CR) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the effect of tipifarnib on rate of complete response, complete cytogenetic remission, partial remission, marrow response, and clinical benefit
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the effect of tipifarnib on duration of response.
- Rate of progression free survival (PFS) at 1 year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the effect of tipifarnib on rate of progressive free survival at 1 year.
- Rate of survival at 1 year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To assess the effect of tipifarnib on rate of survival at 1 year.
- Adverse event (AE) profile [ Time Frame: Until 30 days following end of study ]To assess the effect of tipifarnib on adverse event (AE) profile according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (NCI CTCAE v 4.03).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject is at least 18 years of age.
-
For subjects to be enrolled in the CMML or MDS/MPN cohorts:
a. Diagnosis of CMML or MDS/MPN as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (2008).
-
For subjects enrolled in the AML cohort:
- Documented pathological evidence of AML, as defined by WHO criteria (2008)
- Refractory to previous induction chemotherapy, relapsed disease, or age ≥ 60 and not appropriate for standard cytotoxic therapy due to age, performance status, and/or adverse risk factors according to the treating physician
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 - 2.
- Subject is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other procedures (including bone marrow assessments).
- At least 1 week since the last systemic therapy regimen prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Subjects on a stable dose of hydroxyurea for at least 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 may continue on hydroxyurea until Cycle 1 Day 14. Subjects must have recovered to NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 < Grade 2 from all acute toxicities (excluding Grade 2 toxicities that are not considered a safety risk by the Sponsor and Investigator) or toxicity must be deemed irreversible by the Investigator.
-
Acceptable liver function:
- Total bilirubin upper limit of normal (ULN).
- AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) 1.5 x ULN.
- Acceptable renal function with serum creatinine 1.5 x ULN or a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault or Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formulas.
-
Female subjects must be:
- Of non-child-bearing potential (surgically sterilized or at least 2 years post-menopausal); or
- If of child-bearing potential, subject must use a highly effective method of contraception, such as combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner or sexual abstinence. Both females and male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for 2 weeks prior to screening, during, and at least 28 days after last dose of trial medication for females and 90 days for males.
