Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Myelodysplastic Syndrome Acute Myeloid Leukemia Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia | Drug: APR-246 Drug: Azacitidine | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Participants will be treated for a total of 6 cycles. For participants responding or who have stable disease following cycle 6, treatment may continue until one of the following criteria applies:
- Inter-current illness that prevents further administration of treatment,
- Unacceptable adverse event(s),
- Participant decides to withdraw from the study, or
- General or specific changes in the participant's condition render the participant unacceptable for further treatment in the judgment of the investigator.
- Evidence of disease progression by the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria.
Participants who wish not to continue treatment at time of disease assessment at end of cycle 6 will complete their end of treatment visit upon completion of cycle 6.

Experimental: Phase 1b Dose Escalation
Participants will receive intravenous infusions of APR-246 as a lead-in phase on days -14 to -11 starting at Dose Level 1 prior to starting cycle #1 of combination therapy with azacitidine. Combination therapy will consist of APR-246 on days 1-4 and azacitidine on days 4-10 (or days 4-5 and 8-12) of a 28 day cycle.
|
Drug: APR-246
Phase 1b: Dose escalation of APR-246 via intravenous (IV) infusion, with starting dose of 50 mg/kg lean body weight (LBW). Phase 2: APR-246 at maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Other Names:
Drug: Azacitidine Azacitidine is administered subcutaneously (SC) or via IV at 75 mg/m^2.
Other Names:
|
Experimental: Phase 2 Treatment
Participants will be treated with APR-246 administered at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with azacitidine on a 28 day cycle utilizing the same dosing schedule as in Phase 1b.
|
Drug: APR-246
Phase 1b: Dose escalation of APR-246 via intravenous (IV) infusion, with starting dose of 50 mg/kg lean body weight (LBW). Phase 2: APR-246 at maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Other Names:
Drug: Azacitidine Azacitidine is administered subcutaneously (SC) or via IV at 75 mg/m^2.
Other Names:
|
- Phase 1b: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Maximum Tolerated Dose, defined as the dose level below which dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is manifested in ≥33% of the patients or at dose level 3 if DLT is manifested in <33% of the patients.
- Phase 2: Complete Response (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Complete Response Rate as defined by the 2006 International Working Group (IWG) criteria.
- Phase 2: Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Duration of response defined as the time between achieving response and progression of disease.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]OS:The length of time from the start of treatment until death by any cause.
- Phase 2: Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Proportion of participants achieving hematological improvement (HI), partial response (PR), complete response (CR), and/or marrow CR (mCR) by the IWG 2006 criteria.
