A Phase 1/2 Study of Bleximenib in Participants With Acute Leukemia (cAMeLot-1)

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) of bleximenib in phase 1 Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and to determine the safety and tolerability at RP2D in Phase 1 Part 2 (Dose expansion). The purpose of the Phase 2 part of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of bleximenib at the RP2D.

  • Exclusion criteria related to stem cell transplant: a. Received prior treatment with allogenic bone marrow or stem cell transplant <=3 months before the first dose of study treatment ; b. Has evidence of graft versus host disease; c. Received donor lymphocyte infusion <=1 month before the first dose of study treatment; d. Requires immunosuppressant therapy (exception: daily doses <=10 milligrams (mg) prednisone or equivalent are allowed for adrenal replacement)
  • Prior cancer immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or blinatumomab within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Additional prior cancer therapies must not be given within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or 5 half-lives of the agent (whichever is shorter)

Treatment and study plan

Bleximenib

Drug

Bleximenib is administered orally.

Other names: JNJ-75276617

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

  2. Phase 1: Number of Participants with AEs by Severity

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.

  3. Phase 1: Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to 28 days Cycle 1

    Percentage of participants with DLT will be assessed accordingly to national cancer institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.

  4. Phase 2: Rate of Complete Remission or Complete Remission with Partial Hematologic Recovery (CR/CRh)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    Rate of CR/CRh is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR or CRh at any time post-treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Phase 1 and 2: Plasma Concentration of Bleximenib

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    Plasma concentration of bleximenib will be reported.

  2. Phase 1 and 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve any response.

  3. Phase 1: Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    DOR will be calculated among responders from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of relapse, as defined in the disease-specific response criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  4. Phase 1 and 2: Time To Response (TTR)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    TTR is defined for the responders as the time from the date of the first dose of bleximenib to the date of the first documented response.

  5. Phase 2: Duration of Complete Response (CR)/Complete Remission With Partial Hematologic Recovery (CRh)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    The duration of CR/CRh is defined from the date of first CR or CRh response achieved to the date of first evidence of relapsed disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, for participants who achieve a CR or CRh.

  6. Phase 2: Time To CR/CRh

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    Time to CR/CRh is defined for responders as the time from the date of the first dose of bleximenib to the date of first achieving either CR or CRh, depending on which milestone is reached.

  7. Phase 2: Event-free survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    EFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of treatment failure, relapse, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  8. Phase 2: Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    OS is defined from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death due to any cause.

  9. Phase 2: Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Among Participants Achieving CR/CRh/CRi

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    MRD-negative rate is defined as the percentage of participants who are MRD-negative at any timepoint after the first dose of bleximenib in the responders.

  10. Phase 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. A Serious AE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

  11. Phase 2: Number of Participants Reporting Transfusion Independence

    Time frame: Up to 4 years and 9 months

    Transfusion independence is defined as independence from red blood cells (RBC) and platelet transfusions during any 56-day interval after receiving study treatment.
