IMG-7289 in Patients With Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) or Polycythemia Vera (PV)

The purpose of this study is to assess the hematologic effects of IMG-7289 therapy in ET and PV patients who require platelet, White Blood Cell (WBC) or Red Blood Cell (RBC) control, and have failed at least one standard therapy.

Active, Not Recruiting

This study is active but is not currently recruiting participants.

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Diagnosis of Essential Thrombocythemia or Polycythemia Vera per World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria for myeloproliferative neoplasms (Arber et al., 2016).
  • Patients that have failed at least one standard therapy (failure is the equivalent of inadequate response or intolerance).
  • Platelet count >400 x 10^9/L pre-dose Day 1for patients with essential thrombocytopenia.
  • Platelet count >150 x 10^9/L pre-dose Day 1 for patients with polycythemia vera.
  • Peripheral blast count < 10% pre-dose Day 1.
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 0.5 x 10^9/L pre-dose Day 1.
  • Fibrosis score ≤ grade 2, as per a slightly modified version (Arber et al., 2016) of the European Consensus Criteria for Grading Myelofibrosis, (Thiele et al., 2005).
  • Life expectancy > 36 weeks.
  • Able to swallow capsules.
  • Amenable to blood draws, spleen size determination, bone marrow evaluations, and peripheral blood sampling during the study.
  • Must have discontinued prior therapy for condition under study for 2 weeks (4 weeks for interferon) prior to study drug initiation.
  • Agrees to use an approved method of contraception from Screening until 28 days after last administration of the study drug.
  • If male, agrees not to donate sperm or father a child for at least one month after the last dose of the study medication.

Exclusion criteria

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) questionnaire score of 3 or greater.
  • Currently pregnant, planning on being pregnant in the following 6 months or currently breastfeeding.
  • Currently residing outside the United States.
  • History of splenectomy.
  • Unresolved treatment related toxicities from prior therapies (unless resolved to ≤ Grade 1).
  • Uncontrolled active infection.
  • Known positive for HIV if not well-controlled (i.e., undetectable viral load), or infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C.
  • Current use of monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitors (MAOIs).
  • Evidence at the time of screening of increased risk of bleeding, including any of the following:
  • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) > 1.3 x the upper limit of normal
  • International normalized ratio (INR) >1.3 x the local upper limit of normal
  • History of severe thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction unrelated to a myeloproliferative disorder or its treatment
  • Known bleeding disorder (e.g., dysfibrinogenaemia, factor IX deficiency, haemophilia, Von Willebrand's disorder, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation [DIC], fibrinogen deficiency, or other clotting factor deficiency)
  • Evidence at the time of Screening of significant renal or hepatic insufficiency (unless due to haemolysis, or leukaemic infiltration) as defined by any of the following local lab parameters:
  • Calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR; using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) < 40 mL/min or serum creatinine > 1.5 x the local upper limit of normal
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 2 x the local upper limit of normal
  • Current use of a prohibited medication (e.g., romiplostim) or expected to require any of these medications during treatment with the investigational drug.
  • Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to IMG-7289 or LSD1 inhibitors (i.e., monoamine oxidase inhibitors; MAOIs) that contraindicates their participation.
  • Patients with impaired decision-making capacity.

Treatment and study plan

IMG-7289

Drug

Daily oral dose of 0.6 mg/kg/day IMG-7829 capsules. Dose escalation an de-escalation rules applied as necessary.

Other names: IMG7289, IMG 7289

Primary outcomes

  1. Hematologic Response Rates

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    As evaluated by the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) and European Leukemia Net (ELN) response criteria.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Related Toxicity

    Time frame: Up to 3 Years

    As evaluated by the treating physician using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0.

  2. Change in Total Symptom Score (TSS) as Measured by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF)

    Time frame: Baseline, Up to 3 Years

    As measured using the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF) that includes 14 disease related symptoms each scored from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable).

  3. Change in Mutational Allele Burden

    Time frame: Baseline, Up to 3 Years

    Evaluated via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) molecular profiling from serum blood sample.

  4. Change in Spleen Size in Centimeters

    Time frame: Baseline, Up to 3 Years

    Measured via physical examination and radiologic imaging measurement.

  5. Change in Fibrosis Score

    Time frame: Baseline, Up to 3 Years

    Assessed using a slightly modified version of European Consensus Criteria for Grading Myelofibrosis from bone marrow/aspirate sample, as presented in Thiele et al, 2005. Myelofibrosis (MF) scores are graded on a four-point scale, from MF-0 to MF-3, grading the reticulin and collagen content of bone marrow, with MF-0 being the lowest and MF-3 the highest.
