A Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Bexmarilimab in Combination With Standard of Care in Patients With Hematological Malignancies

Description

This is a study to assess the safety of increasing dose levels of bexmarilimab when combined with standard of care (SoC) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML); Phase 1 aims to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of bexmarilimab based on safety, tolerability and pharmacological activity; Phase 2 will investigate the preliminary efficacy of the combination treatment in selected indications from Phase 1.

Conditions

Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Relapsed/Refractory AML

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patient ≥ 18 years of age who presents with one of the following conditions:
  • * Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of MDS with revised International Prognostic Scoring System (rIPSS) risk categories: intermediate, high and very high.
  • * Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of CMML-2 with indication for azacitidine treatment.
  • * CMML and MDS patient with response failure to HMA or therapy regimen including HMA.
  • * Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of r/r AML following at least 1 line of prior therapies with indication for azacitidine treatment.
  • * Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of AML in patients unfit for induction therapy with indication for azacitidine-venetoclax treatment.
  • * Leukocyte count \< 20 x10\^9/L (\< 25 x10\^9/L for newly diagnosed AML). Hydroxycarbamide use is permitted to meet this criterion in MDS and AML but not in CMML.
  • * Adequate renal function.
  • * Adequate liver function.
  • * Patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or myeloproliferative CMML as defined by leukocyte count \> 13 x10\^9/L.
  • * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \>2 (except newly diagnosed AML where ECOG 3 is allowed for patients \< 75 years).
  • * Allogeneic transplantation less than 6 months prior screening.
  • * Patient with active auto-immune disorder (except type I diabetes, celiac disease, hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement, vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia).
  • * The patient requires systemic corticosteroid (≥10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive treatment.
  • * Less than 21 days since the last dose of intravenous anticancer chemotherapy or less than 14 days or five half-lives (whichever is shorter) from a small molecule targeted therapy or oral anticancer chemotherapy before the first study treatment.
  • * Any immunotherapy or investigational therapy within preceding 28 days from the first study treatment.
  • * Pregnant or lactating women.
  • * History of chronic ulcers or clinically relevant liver disease leading to Child Pugh Score C or higher.
