Treatment and study plan

INA03 administration

Drug

INA03 will be administered IV on Day 1, Day 14 of 28-day cycles. The administration of INA03 will begin at 0.02 mg/kg. Study Part I is a titration study to determine the dose for the first INA03 infusion. Patients will be enrolled in sequential cohorts of 2 patients to receive ascending starting doses of INA03, starting from the lowest starting dose (0.02 mg/kg), and followed by subsequent administrations of INA03 (D14 and beyond) at a fixed dose of 0.1 mg/kg. The starting dose will be increased every cohort of 2 patients until evidence of absence of marrow residual erythroblasts by D14 myelogram. This dose is referred to as the MEID and will be selected as the D1 dose for the study Part 2. Patient accumulation in Part I of the study will continue until no evidence of non-hematological DLT within 28 days post dosing

Primary outcomes

  1. Determination of the minimal erythroblastopenia-inducing dose (MEID) for INA03 in adults with refractory/relapsed acute leukemia

    Time frame: within 2 weeks from initial dosing

    MEID defined as the lowest dose associated with the risks of residual erythroblasts in the bone marrow at 2 weeks from initial dosing or grade 2 or above non hematologic toxicity within 2 weeks from initial dosing

  2. Determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for subsequent administrations (D15 from initial dosing and beyond) for INA03 in adults with refractory/relapsed acute leukemia

    Time frame: 28 days from the first administration of INA03

    the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for subsequent administrations (D15 from initial dosing and beyond)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety of INA03: NCI-CTCAE v5.0

    Time frame: Until 30 days after last dose

    Safety from the findings of reports of adverse events based on incidence, severity (as graded by the NCI-CTCAE v5.0), cumulative nature of treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAEs)

  2. pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of INA03

    Time frame: From initial dosing day to Day 42

    Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) will be calculated, as appropriate

  3. pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of INA03

    Time frame: From initial dosing day to Day 42

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) will be calculated, as appropriate

  4. pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of INA03

    Time frame: From initial dosing day to Day 42

    The terminal half-life will be calculated, as appropriate

  5. pharmacodynamics (PD) profile of INA03

    Time frame: From screening to end of study visit (maximum 182 days)

    PD according to variation of erythroblast and blasts decrease using bone marrow as-pirate (BMA), and blood samples before and under treatment

  6. Concentration of anti-INA03 antibodies

    Time frame: From screening to end of study visit (maximum 182 days)

    Serum concentration of anti-INA03 antibodies in micrograms per milliliter

  7. Preliminary clinical response of INA03

    Time frame: from the date of treatment initiation (Day-1) to the date of relapse, progression or death, whichever comes first (a maximum 182 days)

    Clinical response as defined by European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 recommendations
