Interventions

  • KPT-9274Drug

Arms6

  • Active comparator

    De-escalation Cohort; 20mg

    For the purposes of dose escalation decisions, a standard 3+3 dose escalation design will be used.The initial cohort, Cohort 1, will consist of 3 enrolled patients who will be treated at 30 mg. If the MTD is exceeded at cohort 1, de-escalation to cohort 0 (20 mg) will occur. If the MTD is not exceeded in cohort 1, dose escalation will continue based on a standard 3+3 design at the dose levels.

  • Active comparator

    Cohort 1; 30 mg

    The initial cohort, Cohort 1, will consist of 3 enrolled patients who will be treated at 30 mg.

  • Active comparator

    Cohort 2; 40mg

    Dose escalation to 40 mg after initial cohort (Cohort 1) after a minimum of 1 cycle of treatment, defined as receiving ≥75% of KPT-9274 doses during Cycle 1 (e.g., ≥9 of 12 doses in the 3 doses/week schedule), or have a DLT within the first cycle of treatment to be evaluable for dose escalation decisions.

  • Active comparator

    Cohort 3; 60mg

    Dose escalation to 60 mg after initial cohort (Cohort 1) after a minimum of 1 cycle of treatment, defined as receiving ≥75% of KPT-9274 doses during Cycle 1 (e.g., ≥9 of 12 doses in the 3 doses/week schedule), or have a DLT within the first cycle of treatment to be evaluable for dose escalation decisions.

  • Active comparator

    Cohort 4; 80mg

    Dose escalation to 80 mg after initial cohort (Cohort 1) after a minimum of 1 cycle of treatment, defined as receiving ≥75% of KPT-9274 doses during Cycle 1 (e.g., ≥9 of 12 doses in the 3 doses/week schedule), or have a DLT within the first cycle of treatment to be evaluable for dose escalation decisions.

  • Active comparator

    Cohort 5; 100mg

    Dose escalation to 100 mg after initial cohort (Cohort 1) after a minimum of 1 cycle of treatment, defined as receiving ≥75% of KPT-9274 doses during Cycle 1 (e.g., ≥9 of 12 doses in the 3 doses/week schedule), or have a DLT within the first cycle of treatment to be evaluable for dose escalation decisions.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Time frame · 28 days

    Registry description

    Dose escalation will continue until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which ≤1 patient experiences a DLT in Cycle 1. Count of participants who did not experience a DLT are listed in outcome measure data table.

Secondary outcomes(1)
  1. Count of Participants Who Did Not Experience a DLT Are Listed in the Outcome Measure Data Table

    Time frame · 28 days

    Registry description

    A RP2D equal to or less than the MTD will be declared after the MTD is determined and will be used for the Dose Expansion Phase, if conducted. After the RP2D is determined, a dose expansion phase, of up to 10 additional patients, might be conducted, in which a preliminary determination of efficacy will be conducted, using the ELN criteria.

KPT-9274: KPT-9274 is a first-in-class orally bioavailable, non-competitive, small molecule, dual modulator of p21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase /PBEF/visfatin (NAMPT). NAMPT is the rate-limiting enzyme in the metabolic scavenging pathway that utilizes nicotinamide to replenish nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), an essential metabolic cofactor and second messenger. Recent investigations have shown that in in vitro and in vivo models, NAMPT is uniquely essential for relapsed or refractory AML stem cells. Targeting relapsed AML stem cells, through targeting of NAMPT, may allow for a promising therapeutic opportunity for patients with relapsed or refractory AML.0 / 00 / 00 / 0
