About this trial

The purpose of this study is to test the safest and most effective dose of a new investigational drug, rebecsinib. Participants in this study will have either Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia (sAML) that has either returned (relapsed) or not responded to treatment (refractory) or have higher risk Myelofibrosis (MF). Participants will receive a study drug infusion on Day 1, Day 4, Day 8 and Day 11 of each 28-day cycle for a total of 6 cycles.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Must have a refractory myeloid neoplasm (5th Edition WHO Classification of Tumors) consisting of secondary AML (sAML), which has evolved from antecedent MDS, MPN, MDS/MPN, or have higher-risk MF defined by DIPSS Plus or MIPSS70+ version 2.0, and excess bone marrow blasts (> 5%). Patients with sAML, defined as AML with an antecedent history of MDS or MPN or WHO AML with myelodysplasia related genetic changes or WHO AML with myelodysplasia related cytogenetic abnormalities. Must be ineligible for bone marrow transplantation at the time of enrollment and have relapsed or be refractory or intolerant to available therapies, such as anthracycline chemotherapy, epigenetic modifier therapy (azacytidine or decitabine) or venetoclax including any treatment that is active in specific mutations if relevant (e.g., FLT3 inhibitors for patients with FLT3 mutations). If the patient has not received intensive induction chemotherapy in the past as a result of being unfit for chemotherapy, then the patient must have undergone at least one line of epigenetic modifier or other available therapy. If the patient has received intensive induction therapy, then the patient must have undergone at least two lines of therapy. If a patient has a FLT3 or IDH mutation, prior therapy must include a FLT3 or an IDH inhibitor. Relapse is defined as the recurrence of excess leukemic blasts in the marrow after previously achieving a complete remission, or complete remission with incomplete count recovery. Refractory refers to persistent excess leukemic blasts after two cycles of standard anthracycline containing induction, or one cycle of a high dose cytarabine containing regimen, or one cycle of a non-intensive regimen.

Calculated Creatinine clearance (CrCl) > 60 mL/min (based upon the Cockcroft- Gault Equation [CrCl = (140-age) * ideal body wt (in kg) * (0.85 if female) / (72 * Cr)]. Estimate Ideal body weight in (kg) Males: IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet. Females: IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet.

Has recovered from the toxic effects of prior therapy to their clinical baseline.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant or breast feeding females are excluded.

Previous hematopoietic cell transplant.

Patients who are currently receiving another investigational agent are excluded.

Patients who have had chemotherapy (e.g., HMA therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) or participation in any investigational drug treatment within 2 weeks or 5-half lives, whichever is more, of initiation of rebecsinib or at any time during the study.
