This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of KPG-818 in subjects with hematological malignancies. Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled for dose escalation of 4 dose levels.
Indication: Hematological malignancies (multiple myeloma [MM], mantle cell lymphoma [MCL], diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL], adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma [ATL], and indolent non Hodgkin lymphomas such as follicular lymphoma [FL] and chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL]/small lymphocytic lymphoma [SLL]).
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Hematological Malignancies | Drug: KPG-818 | Phase 1 |
This will be a dose escalation study in subjects with selected hematological malignancies. KPG-818 will be used in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with MM, and as monotherapy for other selected hematological malignancies. Each dose of KPG-818 will be administered orally until the completion of treatment cycles, or progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, the subject withdraws, or any other study withdrawal criterion is met.
The highest dose level which may be tested is 5 mg KPG-818 and dose levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg and/or intermediate dosing or alternative dosing schedule may be explored. Each dose level (1-4) will be tested using the standard 3+3 design. DLT will be assessed during the DLT evaluation period (Cycle 1) and the treatment of study is divided into 6 cycles.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 30 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Dose escalation will use a standard 3+3 approach to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the initial escalation dose level will be 2mg/day. Subjects may be enrolled at dose levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg and/or intermediate dosing or alternative dosing schedule |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Masking Description: | This is a open label Phase I study |

KPG-818 dose escalation
|
Drug: KPG-818
The 4 planned dose level (cohorts) of KPG-818 will be explored: 2, 3, 4 and 5mg. Each dose of KPG-818 will be administered orally with approximately 240 ml of water daily, and used as a single agent in subjects with selected hematological malignancies (or in combination with dexamethasone weekly for MM), according to specific dosing schedule in each treatment cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, the subject withdraws, or any other study withdrawal criterion is met. The treatment of study is divided into 6 cycles.
