A Study of Evorpacept (ALX148) With Venetoclax and Azacitidine for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (ASPEN-05)

Purpose

This Phase 1/2 clinical study will evaluate evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Inclusion Criteria

  • Cytologically or histologically confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory or newly diagnosed AML per WHO 2016 classification. - Phase 1a: AML that is relapsed/refractory or that is previously untreated in patients not considered suitable for intensive induction therapy. - Phase 1b: AML that is relapsed/refractory after prior treatment with a HMA-based regimen. - Phase 2: Previously untreated AML in patients who are not considered suitable candidates for intensive induction therapy. - Adequate renal and liver function. - Age ≥18 years. - Adequate performance status.

Exclusion Criteria

  • In Phase 1a and 1b, patients that have undergone prior allo-HSCT must be at least 3 months post-HSCT, without uncontrolled graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). For Phase 2, patients that have undergone prior allo-HSCT are excluded. - Patients with newly diagnosed AML with favorable risk cytogenetics such as t(8;21), inv(16), or t(16;16) as per the NCCN Guidelines Version 3, 2019 for AML. - Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). - Prior treatment with any anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPalpha (signal regulatory protein alpha) agent. - Known active viral infections, including hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related illness, or SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

Detailed Description

The Phase 1 will consist of a dose escalation of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine to evaluate safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. The Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine for patients with AML.
