Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The design of a phase I, open label, dose finding study was chosen in order to establish a safe and tolerated dose of single agent ABL001 in Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) patients who are relapsed or refractory to or are intolerant of Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and of ABL001+Nilotinib, ABL001+Imatinib and ABL001+Dasatinib in Ph positive CML patients who are relapsed or refractory to TKIs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This first-in-human trial with ABL001 was a dose escalation study whose primary purpose was to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of single agent ABL001 in CML or Ph+ ALL patients, and in combination with either Nilotinib or Imatinib or Dasatinib in Ph positive CML patients. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ABL001 and ABL001+Nilotinib, ABL001+Imatinib and ABL001+Dasatinib were assessed together with an evaluation of pharmacodynamic (PD) changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bone marrow aspirates and all data could contribute to the assessment of the RDE.

An understanding of the MTD/RDE, safety profile, PK/PD relationship, and preliminary evidence of anti-CML and ALL activity wias used to inform future development in adults with CML and Ph+ ALL. By virtue of its distinct pharmacological profile and by preclinical pharmacological studies demonstrating an additive effect, a combination of ABL001 and a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) has the potential to achieve a deeper molecular response in a higher proportion of CML patients as compared to single agent TKI therapy. Such a combination has the added advantage of targeting the ABL kinase domain at two distinct locations, theoretically preventing single point mutation-associated treatment resistance. The prediction is that a nilotinib+ABL001, imatinib+ABL001 and/or dasatinib+ABL001 combination will increase the percentage of patients who achieve a complete molecular response (CMR) and decrease the time to CMR, thereby increasing the possibility of achieving sustained treatment-free remissions in these patients. In addition, some patients could be intolerant of therapy with TKIs or could develop mutations that promote resistance to TKI therapy. In these patients, ABL001 could provide a novel therapeutic option.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

For CML patients either:

* a. Patients with Ph+ CML in chronic or accelerated phase who were previously treated with at least two different tyrosine kinase inhibitors prior to study entry and are relapsed, refractory to or intolerant of TKIs as determined by investigators or
* b. Patients with CML in chronic or accelerated phase who exhibit relapsed disease associated with the presence of the T315I "gatekeeper mutation" after at least one TKI are also eligible provided that no other effective therapy exists

For ALL and CML-BP patients:

* Patients with CML BP or Ph+ ALL who have a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis and are relapsed or refractory to at least one prior TKI or intolerant of TKIs. TKI failure for Ph+ ALL and CML-BP patients is defined as at least the loss of Molecular Response (MR) 4.5 (BCR-ABL ≤ 0.0032%)
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2
* Willingness and ability to comply with all study procedures
* Written informed consent obtained prior to any screening procedures

Exclusion Criteria

Wash-out period:

* Systemic antineoplastic therapy (including cytotoxic chemotherapy, alfa-interferon and toxin immunoconjugates) or any experimental therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, before the first dose of study treatment
* Therapy with TKIs as single agent within 5 half-lives before the first dose of study treatment
* Unconjugated monoclonal antibody therapies within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, before the first dose of study treatment
