Official Title
Venetoclax-Navitoclax With Cladribine-based Salvage Therapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Brief Summary

This is an open-label phase I study designed to evaluate the safety ofvenetoclax-navitoclax with cladribine-based salvage therapy.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to determine a maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)
combination of venetoclax-navitoclax with cladribine-based salvage therapy. Subjects will
be entered sequentially to each dose level. For each dose level, if none of the first
three subjects at that level experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new subjects may
be entered at the next higher dose level. If one of three subjects experience a DLT, up
to three more subjects are to be treated at that same dose level. If none of the
additional three subjects at that dose level experiences a DLT, new subjects may be
entered at the next higher dose level. However, if one or more of the additional three
subjects experience a DLT, then no further subjects are to be started at that dose level
and either de-escalate one level or if the preceding dose is already completed then that
dose is the MTD. The MTD will be defined as the highest dose level at which none of the
first three treated subjects, or no more than one of the first six treated subjects,
experiences a DLT.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subjects 18 years or older.

2. Patients must have a diagnosis of morphologically documented AML or secondary AML
from prior conditions, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative
neoplasm (MPN), MDS/MPN, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or therapy-related
AML (t-AML), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 criteria.

3. Relapsed or refractory to at least one prior line of therapy.

4. Previous therapy with venetoclax.

5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of:

1. 0-3 for Arm A (i.e., Cladribine-low dose cytarabine backbone arm).

2. 0-2 for Arm B (i.e., CLAG-M backbone arm).

6. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of:

1. LVEF ≥35% for Arm A (i.e., Cladribine-low dose cytarabine backbone arm).

2. LVEF ≥45% for Arm B (i.e., CLAG-M backbone arm).

7. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) as calculated by the Cockroft-Gault formula, of:

1. CrCl ≥ 30 mL/min for Arm A (i.e., Cladribine-low dose cytarabine backbone arm).

2. CrCl ≥ 40 mL/min for Arm B (i.e., CLAG-M backbone arm).

8. Clinical laboratory values within the following parameters:

1. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless
attributable to underlying leukemia. Patient with total bilirubin > 1.5 ×
institutional ULN may enroll if direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × institutional ULN of
the direct bilirubin.

2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 ×
institutional ULN, unless attributable to underlying leukemia.

3. White blood cell (WBC) count < 25,000/µL before Cycle 1, Day 1 of therapy
(Note: Hydroxyurea, cytarabine or leukapheresis may be used to meet this
criterion.)

4. Platelet count of at least 20,000/µL before Cycle 1, Day 1 of therapy (Note:
Platelet transfusion can be used to meet this criterion.)

9. Female subjects who:

1. Are postmenopausal for at least one year before the screening visit, OR

2. Are surgically sterile, OR

3. If they are of childbearing potential:

i. Agree to practice one highly effective method and one additional effective
(barrier) method of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the
informed consent through four months after the last dose of study drug (female and
male condoms should not be used together), OR ii. Agree to practice true abstinence,
when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
(periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation
methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not
acceptable methods of contraception).

10. Male subjects, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post vasectomy), who:

1. Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
treatment period from the time of signing the informed consent through and
through four months after the last dose of study drug (female and male condoms
should not be used together), OR

2. Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the subject. (periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar,
ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods for the female partner]
withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable
methods of contraception.)

11. Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to
sign it.
