Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2

Brief Summary

This is a Phase I/II study evaluating safety and efficacy of proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib) in combination with CPX-351 (liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (TP53m AML).

The primary endpoint of the study is to define safety/tolerability (phase I) and preliminary efficacy profile (phase II) of the treatment. The secondary endpoints of interest are complete remission (CR) rate, detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) status, overall response rate (ORR), rate of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), treatment-related mortality (TRM), overall survival (OS), achievement of complete remission anytime in 1 year, and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year and 2 years. All the patient outcomes assessments will be performed as part of standard-of-care AML management.

The hypothesis is the combination of bortezomib and CPX-351 will have an acceptable safety profile in this patient population based on the data from previous studies. The treatment will attenuate Nuclear Factor kB pathway activation in these cells and eradicate TP53m leukemia stem cells (LSC) leading to increased response rate and survival in these patients.

• Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70
• Adequate renal, hepatic and cardiac function defined as
• Renal: An estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2
• Hepatic: AST and ALT ≤3 x ULN, ALP ≤2.5 x ULN, and total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN. (exception for Gilbert's syndrome or leukemic infiltration of liver)
• Cardiac: New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class I or II, left ventricular ejection fraction > 50% by echocardiogram, MUGA or cardiac MRI
• Sexually active couples of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception or abstinence during treatment and for at least 7 months after the final dose of study drug
