Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: TERMINATED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 13 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2025-02-25
• Study Completion Date: 2025-10-09

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and anti-leukemic activity of S227928 as single agent and in combination with venetoclax, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of this combination. The study will begin as a Phase 1 Dose Escalation study to determine the RP2D and then will transition to a Phase 2 Dose Expansion study to assess the efficacy of the selected RP2D. During the treatment period participants will have study visits every two weeks, with additional visits occurring during the first and second cycle. Approximately 30 days after treatment has ended, an end-of-treatment visit will occur and then participants will be followed for survival every 12 weeks for the next 6 months. Study visits may include a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy, blood and urine tests, ECG, vital signs, physical examination, and administration of study treatment.

1. Patients must not be candidates for further standard therapy,

2. Treatment with agents for lower risk MDS such as erythropoietin or luspatercept are not considered anticancer therapies.

1. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN),

2. Total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x ULN, except for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, who may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 x ULN and their direct bilirubin is ≤ 1.5 x ULN.

Exclusion Criteria

• Pregnant or lactating women.
• WOCBP tested positive in a serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first day of IMP administration.
• Legally incapacitated person under guardianship or trusteeship.

• Diagnosis of acute leukemia of mixed or ambiguous lineage or histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasms defined by the WHO 2022 classification
• Uncontrolled infections requiring systemic antibiotics and/or antifungal agents as per investigator's judgment. Patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics and/or antifungal agents are eligible for this study.

• Any drugs known to prolong the QT interval and induce Torsade de pointes (TdP) within 7 days prior to the first administration of IMP.
• Dose Escalation Arm A ONLY: Although participants may be treated with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 or of CYP2C8, they may not be treated with medications that are strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and CYP2C8, or with separate medications that when combined would cause strong inhibition of these two enzymes. In addition, participants may not be treated with a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 and a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C8 and/or a moderate inhibitor of P-gp.

Triazole antifungal agents may be used, but only if they are in agreement with the criteria described above (i.e., they must not be dual strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 or strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and moderate inhibitors of either CYP2C8 or P-gp).
• Dose Escalation Arm B and Dose Expansion ONLY: a malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration.
• Dose Escalation Arm B and Dose Expansion ONLY: Both moderate and strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 are prohibited, beginning 7 days prior to the start of IMP and continuing for the entire duration of treatment.
