Study Description

Brief Summary:

A multicenter, open label cohort Phase 1 dose finding study to evaluate tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of PF-114 for oral administration in adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which is resistant to the 2-nd generation Bcr-Abl inhibitors or has T315I mutation in the BCR-ABL gene.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia; Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive	Drug: PF-114	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PF-114 is a low molecular inhibitor of a Bcr-Abl kinase activity, which is active with respect to native and mutated forms of this enzyme with mutations in Abl kinase domain. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the ability of PF-114 to inhibit wild Bcr-Abl type and with T315I mutation, as well as other kinds of Bcr-Abl with mutations in kinase domain, including combined mutations.

In contrast to ponatinib, PF-114 is being developed to increase the action selectivity with respect to Bcr-Abl, which potentially should increase safety of drug application in people. The results of performed preclinical studies confirmed improved selectivity of PF-114 action with respect to Bcr-Abl kinases as compared to ponatinib.

Indication:

Adult patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase (CP) or accelerated phase (AP) resistant to previous treatment with at least one 2-nd generation inhibitor of Bcr-Abl (dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib) or intolerant of approved Bcr-Abl inhibitors or with T315I mutation in the BCR-ABL gene

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: PF-114; PF-114 From 50 mg up to the MTD. Dose escalation for each next cohort is conducted by increasing the dose by 20 % (or the closest lower level, which is a multiple of 25 mg) if there are Grade 3 ADRs according to NCI CTC AE v.4 without reaching а MTD. An increase of the dose by 40 % is applied if there were Grade 2 ADRs. In the absence of Grade 2 or 3 ADRs an increase of 100 % is applied. When the dose reaches 400 mg/day, the following increase in dose can be made after discussing results of safety findings of PF-114 between the Investigators and the Sponsor. Orally, once daily

Drug: PF-114

   To assess the safety and tolerability of PF-114 in the target patient population
2. Cmax for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
3. Tmax for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
4. AUC0-t for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
5. AUC0-∞ for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
6. T1/2 for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
7. CL/F for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]

9. Ctrough for multiple dosing for oral PF-114 in the target patient population [ Time Frame: 31 days ]
10. Hematological response to the treatment based on European LeukemiaNet criteria, 2013. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]

    Hematological response is evaluated on Day 1 of each therapy cycle

    Full hematologic response:

    Leukocytes < 10 х 109 /L Basophils < 5 % Thrombocytes < 450 х 109 /L No myelocytes, promyelocyts, myeloblasts in the differential Absence of splenomegaly - spleen non palpable

11. Molecular response - the level of BCR-ABL transcripts in the peripheral blood, determined by the method of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using the international scale. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    Molecular response is evaluated on Day 1 of Cycles 2, 4, 7, 10. For cycles > 12, the molecular response will be evaluated once in 3 months, where the procedure is carried out for the first time during Cycle 13.
12. Cytogenetic response evaluated using the chromosome banding method (in situ (FISH) fluorescence hybridization is allowed only if the chromosome banding method cannot provide enough information). [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    Cytogenetic response is evaluated on Day 1, Cycles 4, 7, 13. Then if the level of BCR-ABL transcripts exceeds the level of 0.1% using the qPCR method using the international scale, cytogenetic response is evaluated no earlier than in 3 months after the previous cytogenetic analysis. After the complete cytogenetic response has been reached (CCyR), cytogenetic analysis will be carried out every 12 months.
