Brief Summary

Phase Ib/II study of safety, tolerability, efficacy and PK of APG-2575 as a single agent or in combination with other therapeutic agents including ibrutinib or rituximab.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, multi-center Phase Ib/II study of safety, tolerability, efficacy and PK of APG-2575 as a single agent or in combination with other therapeutic agents including ibrutinib or rituximab. The study consists of the dose escalation and the dose expansion phases. The clinical trial will have multiple arms with ability to subsequently add more treatment arms based upon clinical activity of APG2575 in WM. Initially the study will contain 3 arms noted below, all the arms are independent.

Arm A: APG-2575 will be administered as a single agent to determine the MTD/RP2D in subjects who are relapsed/resistant or intolerant to ibrutinib or other BTK inhibitors.

The Dose escalation phase of APG-2575 as monotherapy will use mTPI-2 design. The starting target dose (using ramp-up if needed) is 400 mg (dose level; DL1) and will be increased to 600 mg (DL2), 800 mg (DL3) accordingly. Doses can be increased to higher level depending on safety and PK results based on discussions of the Investigators and Sponsor. APG-2575 will be administered orally once daily until time of progression or unacceptable toxicity. After the MTD/RP2D is determined, up to 12 additional patients will be enrolled at RP2D in dose-expansion phase to further evaluate safety and efficacy of APG-2575.

Arm B: APG-2575 will be administered in combination with ibrutinib in subjects with previously untreated WM.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Criteria for inclusion:

1. Local confirmed clinicopathological diagnosis of WM in accordance with the consensus panel of the Second International Workshop on WM (Owen 2003).

2. WM patients with symptomatic and measurable disease (defined as presence of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM)>0.5g/dL), requiring treatment as per mSMART guidelines (Kyle 2003): with B symptoms (fever, night sweats, fatigue, night sweats weight loss), progressive lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly, anemia (hemoglobin value of <10 g/dL) or platelet count <100*109/L due to marrow infiltration. Complications such as hyperviscosity syndrome, symptomatic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy due to WM, systemic amyloidosis related to WM, renal insufficiency related to WM, or symptomatic cryoglobulinemia may also be indications for therapy.

3. For Arm A only: Have received at least one prior therapy for WM. Patient must have either failed (defined as progressing while on or within 6 months of treatment with ibrutinib treatment) or intolerant to ibrutinib.

4. For Arm B only: Previously untreated WM.

5. For Arm C only: Have received at least one prior therapy, relapsed or refractory WM.

6. Adequate hematologic function defined as:

1. ANC ≥1.0 x 109/L independent of growth factor support within 7 days of the first dose with study drug.

2. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL without transfusion or growth factor support within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.

3. Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L without transfusion support within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.

7. Adequate hepatic and renal function defined as:

1. AST and ALT < 2.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal)

2. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >30mL/min

3. Bilirubin< 1.5 x ULN

8. PT/INR ≤1.5 x ULN and PTT (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN.

9. ≥18 years of age.

10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤1.

11. Life expectancy≥3 months.

12. Female subjects who are of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history-no menses for ≥2 year; OR history of hysterectomy; OR history of bilateral tubal ligation; OR history of bilateral oophorectomy). Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry.

13. Male and female subjects who agree to use highly effective methods of birth control (e.g.,condoms, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices[IUDs], sexual abstinence, or sterilized partner) during the period of therapy and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug and 90 days (males) after the last dose of study drug.
