A Study of APG-3288 in Relapsed/Refractory Blood Cancers

This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, two-stage study of APG-3288 monotherapy, aiming to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of APG-3288 administered orally once daily in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) hematologic malignancies.

Key information

About this study

Part 1 (Dose Escalation Phase): Patients will receive orally administered APG-3288 at specified doses once daily in 28-day cycles. This phase aims to determine the MTD or RP2D of APG-3288 for patients who have failed standard therapy and for whom no standard therapy offering clinical benefit is available.

Part 2 (Dose Expansion Phase): Following the completion of Part 1, Part 2 will be initiated to further evaluate dose safety. Doses will be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, and efficacy data of APG-3288 from Part 1. In Part 2, up to 60 patients per chosen indication will be enrolled and randomly assigned in equal proportions to 2 or 3 dose cohorts to evaluate dose safety.

  • Biological growth factors within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Patients who, in the investigator's judgment, have not adequately recovered from prior surgery, or have undergone major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment, or minor surgery within 14 days prior to enrollment.
  • Significant cardiac disease defined as:
  • New York Heart Association class III or IV cardiac disease, including pre-existing uncontrolled, clinically-significant arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.
  • Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or a coronary revascularization procedure within ≤ 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment.
  • History of left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%.
  • Poorly controlled hypertension, or history of poor compliance with antihypertensive drug regimens.
  • Clinically active and uncontrolled symptomatic infection; well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may be considered for enrollment.
  • Autoimmune diseases, active inflammatory bowel disease, chronic infections, or any other disease or condition associated with chronic inflammation.
  • Concurrent use of QT-prolonging medications or history of torsades de pointes.
  • Concurrent malignancy other than the one being treated in this study with the exception of the following: cured malignancy without recurrence within 3 years prior to study entry; completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer; completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type.
  • Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may compromise the individual's safety or the evaluation of study results.
  • Prior treatment with: BTK degrader treatment or allogeneic stem cell transplant

Treatment and study plan

APG-3288

Drug

Orally administered daily; 28 days per cycle.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) at each dose level

    Time frame: From first dose through the end of Cycle 1 (e.g., Day 1 to Day 28)

    A DLT is defined as any treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) meeting protocol-specified toxicity criteria occurring during the DLT evaluation period (Cycle 1). DLTs will be assessed in participants receiving escalating dose levels of APG-3288 to evaluate its safety and tolerability.

  2. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose

    The incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including Grade 3-5 TEAEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), TEAEs leading to dose interruption, dose reduction, or treatment discontinuation, and deaths, will be assessed in participants receiving APG-3288 in Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (dose expansion) of the study.

  3. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of APG 3288

    Time frame: During the dose escalation phase (Part 1)

    The MTD and/or RP2D of APG-3288 will be determined during the dose escalation phase based on the incidence of DLTs, overall safety, tolerability, and available pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of APG-3288

    Time frame: From first dose through 24 hours post-dose

    The assessment of maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) following administration of APG-3288.

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of APG-3288

    Time frame: From first dose through last measurable concentration, assessed up to 24 hours post-dose

    Area under the plasma concentration vs time curve (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf) of APG-3288 following administration APG-3288 at escalating dose levels.

  3. Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of APG 3288

    Time frame: From baseline of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose

    The pharmacodynamic effects of APG 3288 will be evaluated by changes in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) levels from baseline over time during treatment.

  4. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From first dose until the first documented disease progression or end of treatment, assessed up to 24 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve partial response (PR) or better as assessed by the investigator at each efficacy assessment and upon disease progression or at end-of-treatment

  5. Duration of response (DoR)

    Time frame: From the first documented response until disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months

    DoR is defined as duration in days from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease for responders (PR or better) as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  6. Time to response (TTR)

    Time frame: From first dose until the first documented response, assessed up to 24 months

    TTR is defined as the time interval from date of first dose of study drug to the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) as assessed by the investigator.

  7. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From first dose until the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months

    PFS is defined as the time interval from date of first dose of study drug to the date of initial documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the investigator.

  8. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: From first dose until death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months

    OS is defined as the time interval from date of first dose of study drug to the date of death due to any cause.
