About this trial

IMAGINE is a two-part trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of imetelstat in combination with azacitidine with or without venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. The trial will consist of a safety run-in phase (Part A) employing a 3+3 design to monitor dose-limiting toxicities of imetelstat when administered in combination with a fixed dose of azacitidine. Part B will consist of a phase 1b trial employing a BOIN12 design to determine the optimal biological dose of imetelstat, starting at a lower dose level, in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax. Total of up to 36 participants will be accrued over 54 months at Mount Sinai Hospital. Estimated duration of trial is 114 months including recruitment, screening, treatment, and follow-up.

Participants must be ≥18 years of age at time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).

Participants must voluntarily sign an ICF.

Participants must have WHO-confirmed non-APL AML who have not responded to or relapsed after at least one prior therapy and for whom no standard therapy that may provide clinical benefit is available.

Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks per investigator.

Disqualifiers

Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 2 weeks or within 5 half-lives of the prior investigational agent, whichever is shorter, of the first dose of treatment.

Known clinically active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia. a. Prior CNS leukemia will be allowed if the most recent cerebral spinal fluid sample is negative prior to study initiation and there is no clinical suspicion for active CNS disease.

Has a white blood cell count > 25 x 109/L (hydroxyurea and/or continuous cytarabine ≤1 g/m2 is permitted to meet this criterion).

Any GVHD treatment (including calcineurin inhibitors) must be discontinued at least 28 days prior to Day 1 of study treatment.
