Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: Study of MEN1112 Intravenous Infusion in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
• Official Title: First in Man Study With MEN1112, a CD157 Targeted Monoclonal Antibody, in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
• Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of MEN1112, given as intravenous infusion, in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Pharmacokinetics, clinical activity and potential immunogenicity of MEN1112 will be evaluated as well.

Detailed Description

This trial is designed as an open label, non randomised, dose escalation and cohort expansion, first administration to human study to be conducted in approximately 20 European sites. The study is aiming to identify the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), to assess the pharmacokinetics and to determine the clinical activity and potential immunogenicity of MEN1112, administered as IV infusion for two 21-day cycles.

Approximately 100 male and female ≥ 18 years-old patients, with a documented diagnosis of relapsed or refractory AML (not M3 FAB subtype), will be treated in the study, which consists of two steps.

Step 1 is the dose escalation phase according to a 3+3 patients cohort design. Incremental mg/Kg doses will be tested. Briefly, MEN1112 doses are to be administered to 3 patients; if no DLT is observed in a cohort of 3 DLT evaluable patients at a given dose level, the next cohort of 3 new patients will be treated with the next higher dose. In case of DLT occurrence by one of the three patients at any dose, the cohort will be expanded to 6 DLT evaluable patients at the same dose level. If two or more patients at a given dose level exhibit DLT, the dose escalation phase will be concluded as the MTD will be identified as one dose level below the one at which ≥ 2 DLT out of 6 treated patients occur.

Step 2 is the cohort expansion phase which will include patients treated at the MTD or the maximum dose level judged to be tolerable.

In each study Step, patients will be given two induction cycles of MEN1112 followed by a four-week End of Treatment period and a Follow-up period. In Step 1 and Step 2, DLT and MTD will be assessed when MEN1112 is given as a 'one shot' infusion (first group of patients) for all doses as well as a 'ramp up' administration to be infused in 3 days for the first two doses in Cycle 1 (second group of patients).

Along the study period, adverse events, changes in hematology/serum biochemistry parameters and bone marrow treatment response will represent the major clinical findings to be monitored on regular basis. The individual experimental clinical phase will last up to 6 months (except for female patients of childbearing potential that will undergo monthly pregnancy test until 6 months from the last study drug administration) encompassing approx. 40 planned visits at site, including Screening,Treatment, End of Treatment, Follow-up period and the End of Study visit.
