Brief Summary

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

Study CDFV890G12101 is an open-label, phase 1b, multicenter study with a randomized two-dose optimization part, and a dose expansion part consisting of three groups evaluating DFV890 in patients with myeloid diseases. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and recommended dose for single agent DFV890 in patients with lower risk (LR: very low, low or intermediate risk) myelodysplastic syndromes (LR MDS), lower risk chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (LR CMML) and High-Risk Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (HR CCUS).

Detailed Description

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

This research study is to find out if study treatment DFV890 is safe and tolerable, and can help patients who were diagnosed with a myeloid disease such as: very low, low or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), very low, low or intermediate risk chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and High-Risk Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (HR CCUS). The study seeks to determine the optimal dose of DFV890 that is safe and efficacious in patients with myeloid disease. The effectiveness and safety/tolerability of the study treatment is not yet confirmed in this disease setting.

Eligible patients meeting all study entry requirements will be required to provide a sample from their bone marrow at screening and at select study timepoints. All enrolled patients will be dosed for a minimum of twenty-four weeks (6 cycles of treatment) unless they experience side effects related to the study treatment requiring dose interruption/discontinuation, worsening of the disease, and/or if treatment is discontinued at the discretion of the investigator or the patient.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1\. Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF) 2. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 2 3. Patient must be a candidate for serial bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy according to the institutions guidelines and must be willing to undergo a bone marrow aspirate.

4\. Patients must have one of the following for eligibility into the study:

1. In dose optimization: IPSS-R defined very low, low or intermediate risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (LR MDS) who failed to respond to or did not tolerate ESAs or luspatercept or HMAs and patients with del 5q who failed to respond to or did not tolerate lenalidomide; or
2. In dose optimization and expansion: IPSS-R defined very low, low or intermediate risk Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (LR CMML) who failed to respond to or did not tolerate hydroxyurea or HMAs.
3. changes for dose expansion (applicable as of amendment 3):

1. LR MDS with ≤ 10% bone marrow blasts, IPSS-R score of ≤ 3.5, transfusion independent (TID) status as per IWG 2006 criteria (requiring \<4U pRBC in 8 weeks), clinically meaningful cytopenia(s) and no or limited (\<4 months) prior therapy for MDS.
2. LR CMML patients with symptomatic cytopenias and/or constitutional symptoms refractory, intolerant or unsuitable for standard first-line therapy.
3. HR-CCUS: Diagnosis of high-risk CCUS by clonal hematopoiesis risk score (CHRS) with clinically meaningful cytopenias and no prior therapy for a myeloid neoplasm.

Exclusion Criteria

1\. Systemic antineoplastic therapy (including cytotoxic chemotherapy, alpha-interferon, kinase inhibitors or other targeted small molecules, and toxin-immunoconjugates) or any experimental therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, and recovered from the toxicities before the first dose of study treatment. For patients that received antibodies the washout period is 4 weeks prior to study treatment.

a. For TID LR MDS in Dose Expansion Phase only (applicable as of amendment 03):

1. Prior therapy for MDS administered for \>4 months (ESA and luspatercept administered for ≤4 months will be allowed if washout period followed)
2. Concurrent malignancy requiring active systemic therapy
3. Prior or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for MDS at any time

2\. History of hypersensitivity to the study treatment or its excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes.

3\. Patients who have previously been treated with agents that have the same mechanism of action as DFV890 as defined in Table 6-7, list of prohibited medications (e.g., drugs targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and the IL-1 pathway (canakinumab and anakinra)).

4\. Use of hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g., G-CSF, GM-CSF, M-CSF), thrombopoietin mimetics or erythroid stimulating agents anytime ≤ 1 week (or 5 half lives, whichever is longer) prior to start of study treatment.

5\. Patients receiving:

a. concomitant medications that are known to be modulators of cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C9 and/or CYP3A (specifically strong or moderate inducers of CYP2C9, strong inducers of CYP3A enzymes, strong inhibitors of CYP2C9 and/or strong or moderate dual inhibitors of CYP2C9/CYP3A); and b. patients, who are poor CYP2C9 metabolizers receiving concomitant medications known to be strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP3A, whose concomitant medications cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication within 5 half-lives or 1 week (whichever is longer) prior to start of study treatment and for duration of the study. See Section 6.8 and list of prohibited drugs in Appendix 8 for more details.

6\. Dose expansion only: Poor CYP2C9 metabolizers defined as genotype of the CYP2C9 \*3/\*3 or CYP2C9 \*2/\*3 allele combinations are excluded.
