Description

Summary

This trial will look at a drug called SEA-CD70 with and without azacitidine, to find out if it is safe for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It will study SEA-CD70 to find out what its side effects are and if it works for AML and MDS. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer.

This study will have six groups or "parts."

  • Part A will find out how much SEA-CD70 should be given to patients.
  • Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat patients with MDS.
  • Part C will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat patients with AML.
  • Part D will find out how much SEA-CD70 with azacitidine should be given to patients.
  • Part E will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat patients with MDS that has not been treated.
  • Part F will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat patients with MDS or AML.

Official Title

A Phase 1 Study of SEA-CD70 in Myeloid Malignancies

Details

This is a phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-finding, and dose expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of SEA-CD70 monotherapy and SEA-CD70 in combination with azacitidine in adults with myeloid malignancies. The study will be conducted in up to 6 parts.

  • Part A is a dose-escalation cohort designed to identify the MTD or recommended expansion dose of SEA-CD70 monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory (hypomethylating agent [HMA]-failure) MDS.
  • Part B is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory (HMA-failure) MDS.
  • Part C is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory AML.
  • Part D contains dose-finding/dose optimization cohorts designed to evaluate the safety/tolerability and identify the recommended expansion dose of SEA-CD70 in combination with azacitidine in participants with 1) relapsed/refractory (HMA-failure) MDS or AML arising from MDS, and 2) previously untreated higher-risk (IPSS intermediate-2 or high risk) MDS.
  • Part E is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 in combination with azacitidine in participants with previously untreated higher-risk (IPSS intermediate-2 or high risk) MDS.
  • Part F is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 in combination with azacitidine in participants with relapsed/refractory (HMA-failure) MDS or AML arising from MDS.

    • MDS that is relapsed or refractory and must not have other therapeutic options known to provide clinical benefit in MDS available.
    • Treatment failure after prior HMA therapy for MDS defined as one of the following:
