Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To evaluate the best objective response rate (ORR) with single agent mirdametinib. ORR will be composed of complete response (CR), CR with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi), and partial remission (PR) as defined by the 2018 Modified International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) National Cancer Institute-Working Group (NCI-WG) criteria, which includes PR with lymphocytosis (Hallek et al., 2018).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the effect of mirdametinib on progression-free survival (PFS). II. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) for mirdametinib in relapsed refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL).
III. To determine the effect of mirdametinib on overall survival (OS). IV. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of mirdametinib, including the rates of high grade (3+) events, and rates of discontinuations and dose modifications.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive mirdametinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo bone marrow biopsy, blood sample collection, echocardiography, and computed tomography (CT) throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days then every 2 months until starting a new therapy followed by every 3 months for up to a total of 5 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patients must have a current indication for treatment as defined by the iwCLL 2018 Guidelines (Hallek et al., 2018):
* Massive or progressive splenomegaly; OR
* Massive lymph nodes, nodal clusters, or progressive lymphadenopathy; OR
* Grade 2 or 3 fatigue; OR
* Fever ≥ 100.5°F or night sweats for greater than 2 weeks without documented infection; OR
* Presence of weight loss ≥ 10% over the preceding 6 months; OR
* Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of ≥ 50% over a 2-month period or an anticipated doubling time of less than 6 months; OR
* Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of or worsening of anemia and or thrombocytopenia
* Patients must have measurable disease, defined as lymphocytosis \> 5,000/mcL, palpable or computed tomography (CT) measurable lymphadenopathy \> 1.5 cm, or bone marrow involvement \> 30%
* Patients must have received at least two prior therapies for CLL including systemic therapy containing a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. Patients are required to have prior BTK inhibitor-based therapy because constitutive extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation is seen in all patients with progression after BTK inhibitor therapy
* Age ≥ 18 years. Because CLL is extremely rare in persons \< 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
* Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 500/mcL. Growth factor is allowed to achieve this level. Neutrophil count of 250 is permitted for patients with bone marrow involvement
* Unless they have significant bone marrow involvement of CLL confirmed on biopsy
* Platelets ≥ 20,000/mcL independent of transfusion within 7 days of screening. Transfusion is permitted to support platelet count for patients with bone marrow involvement
* Unless they have significant bone marrow involvement of CLL confirmed on biopsy
* Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome, autoimmune hemolytic anemia,(AIHA), or of non-hepatic origin
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 3 x institutional ULN
* Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 50 ml/min estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) (Levey et al., 2009)
* Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
* For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
* Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
* Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression
* Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that immediate CNS specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required during the first cycle of therapy
* Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
* Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class II or better
* The effects of mirdametinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use highly effective contraception (hormonal and barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Women of child-bearing potential should also use adequate contraception for 6 months after completion of mirdametinib administration. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 3 months after completion of mirdametinib administration. Women of childbearing age should not donate egg(s) and men should not donate sperm for the duration of study participation and 3 months after completion of mirdametinib administration
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to mirdametinib
* Patients with concurrent administration of strong inhibitors and inducers of P-glycoprotein (P-g)p or breast cancer specific resistance protein (BCRP). If discontinuation of the medication is appropriate, a washout duration of approximately 3 to 5 half-lives is recommended prior to the first dose of mirdametinib
* Patients with concurrent administration of strong CYP3A4 inducers. If discontinuation of the medication is appropriate, a washout duration of approximately 3 to 5 half-lives is recommended prior to the first dose of mirdametinib
* Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous
* Pregnant women are excluded from this study because mirdametinib is MEK inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother mirdametinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with mirdametinib
* Patients with active infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics
* History or current evidence of glaucoma or clinically significant abnormalities on the ophthalmological exam, including but not limited to cataract limiting the ability to examine the retina or any optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding that could be a significant risk factor for retinal vein occlusion (RVO), retinopathy, or neovascular macular degeneration
* Patients with corrected QT (QTc) \> 470 ms
