Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 177 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | The first-in-human (FIH) study is a dose-escalation/dose-expansion study of BMF-219. During the dose-escalation phase of the study, the optimal biologic dose (OBD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BMF-219 will be determined. Subjects in Cohort 1 (acute leukemia) are assigned to one of two parallel arms; ARM A (subjects not receiving CYP3A4 inhibitors) and ARM B (subjects receiving CYP3A4 inhibitors); Subjects in Cohort 2 (DLBCL), Cohort 3 (multiple myeloma), and Cohort 4 (chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphocytic lymphoma) are assigned to a single arm (ARM A).The dose-expansion phase will obtain further safety, as well as efficacy data for BMF-219 when dosed at the OBD and RP2D. |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Dose Escalation Phase
Experimental: ARM A: Study participants who are not receiving a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Dose Escalation Phase:
Participants will receive escalating dose BMF-219 orally once per day to identify the OBD/RP2D (Optimal Biologic Dose/Recommended Ph2 Dose). Dose Expansion Phase: Cohorts 1, 2, 3, and 4 will receive BMF-219 at the OBD/ RP2D to further assess the safety/ efficacy of the investigational drug. |
Drug: BMF-219
BMF-219 is orally administered in continuous 28 day cycles. Alternative BID dosage may be used.
Other Name: Covalent Menin Inhibitor |
Experimental: Dose Expansion
Experimental: ARM B: Study participants who are receiving a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Dose Escalation Phase: • Cohort 1: Participants with acute leukemia will receive escalating dose BMF-219 orally to identify the OBD/ RP2D (Optimal Biologic Dose/Recommended Ph2 Dose). Dose Expansion Phase: Cohort 1 will receive BMF-219 at the OBD/ RP2D to further assess the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug. |
Drug: BMF-219
BMF-219 is orally administered in continuous 28 day cycles. Alternative BID dosage may be used.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years.
-
All subjects must have histologically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of their malignancy and/ or measurable R/ R disease, as follows:
- Cohort 1 only: Refractory or relapsed acute leukemia defined as > 5% blasts in the bone marrow or reappearance of blasts in the peripheral blood.
- Cohort 2 only: Previously treated, pathologically confirmed de novo DLBCL, or DLBCL transformed from previously indolent lymphoma (e.g., follicular lymphoma) with documented clinical or radiological evidence of progressive or persistent disease. At study entry, subjects must have measurable disease as per the revised criteria for response assessment of lymphoma.
- Cohort 3 only: Measurable MM.
- Cohort 4 only: Previously treated subjects with active CLL/SLL with meeting at least 1 of the iwCLL 2018 criteria for requiring treatment.
-
Subjects must be refractory or must have progressed on, or following discontinuation of the most recent anti-cancer therapy, with the following considerations:
- Cohort 1 only: Have failed or are ineligible for any approved standard of care therapies, including HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation).
- Cohort 2 only: Must have received at least 2 previous systemic regimens for the treatment of their de novo or transformed DLBCL.
- Cohort 3 only: Must have received at least 3 anti-MM regimens including proteasome inhibitor.
- Cohort 4 only: Must have received at least 1 prior systemic treatment regimens.
- ECOG performance status of 0-2 and an estimated expected life expectancy of > 3 months in the opinion of the Investigator.
- Adequate organ function.
- Both men and women of childbearing potential or their partners must use adequate birth control measures during the course of the trial and for at least 90 days after discontinuing study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will not be enrolled in the study (all cohorts, unless otherwise indicated):
-
Certain disease subtypes or occurrences, as follows:
- Cohort 1: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis.
- Cohort 2: Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), DLBCL transformed from diseases other than indolent non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).
