Brief Summary:
A Phase 1b/2a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of dose-adjusted brequinar in adult subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ribavirin BID may be added to brequinar twice weekly in eligible subjects.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Drug: Brequinar/Brequinar + Ribavirin Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Up to 27 subjects will be entered in this Phase 1b/2a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of dose-adjusted brequinar in adult subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Active Cohort 2 subjects on brequinar alone twice weekly may roll over into brequinar twice weekly + ribavirin BID. Cohort 3 subjects will begin treatment with brequinar alone twice weekly then move to brequinar twice weekly + ribavirin BID as tolerated. Both the brequinar and ribavirin doses may be adjusted based on safety, tolerability, and enzyme inhibition levels.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 17 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Subjects start dosing with brequinar alone; Cohort 2 subjects may roll over into ribavirin dosing; Cohort 3 subjects started with brequinar monotherapy then added ribavirin dosing.
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase 1b/2a Open-label, Multi-center Study to Assess the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Intrapatient Dose-adjusted Brequinar and Inhibition of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (DHODH) in Adult Subjects With AML
Actual Study Start Date : December 20, 2018
Actual Primary Completion Date : December 31, 2020
Actual Study Completion Date : February 9, 2021


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Brequinar/Brequinar + Ribavirin
Brequinar and ribavirin were dosed orally; brequinar starting doses ranged from 200 mg/m2 to 500 mg/m2. Brequinar doses were adjusted by cohort for starting dose and regimen (either twice-weekly or once-weekly). In addition, the dose for each participant was also adjusted (either escalated or decreased) based on safety, brequinar PK and levels of dihydroorotate (DHO). Ribavirin 1000 mg twice a day (bid) was added in combination with brequinar for the final 3 study participants.
Drug: Brequinar/Brequinar + Ribavirin
The first 14 participants had brequinar monotherapy; the final 3 subjects were also exposed to a combination of brequinar + ribavirin.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The number of participants in the Efficacy Analysis Set with best overall response of one of the responses of CR, CRi, CRh, PR, of MLFS. No participant met the efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis

  2. Complete Remission (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The proportion of subjects in the Efficacy Analysis Set with best overall response of CR. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  3. Complete Remission With Incomplete Hematologic Recovery (CRi) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The proportion of subjects in the Efficacy Analysis Set with a best overall response of CRi. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  4. Complete Remission With Partial Hematological Recovery (CRh) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The proportion of subjects in the Efficacy Analysis Set with a best overall response of CRh. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  5. Morphologic Leukemia Free State (MLFS) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The proportion of subjects in the Efficacy Analysis Set with a best overall response of MLFS. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  6. Partial Remission (PR) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The proportion of subjects in the Efficacy Analysis Set with a best overall response of PR. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  7. Event Free Survival (EFS) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    Interval between first dose and relapse (>=5% bone marrow blasts, reappearance of blasts in blood, or development of extramedullary disease), disease progression, or both. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  8. Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
    The duration of response is defined as the number of days from the time response criteria are initially met for CR, CRi, CRh, PR, or MLFS (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, or death due to any cause. Participants without events reported are censored at the last disease evaluation. No participant met this efficacy endpoint to be included in this analysis.

  9. Brequinar Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: First day of dosing: baseline (pre-dose), 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours. ]
    The plot of drug concentration in blood plasma vs. time.
