- Brief Summary
This phase II trial compares the effect of ASTX727 in combination with iadademstat to ASTX727 alone in treating patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Iadademstat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ASTX727 in combination with iadademstat may be more effective than ASTX727 alone in treating patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome negative MPNs.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare the acute leukemia response-complete (ALR-C) rate of iadademstat + ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) monotherapy within 4 cycles of therapy in patients with accelerated/blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN-AP/BP) previously untreated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and percentage of patients going onto allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) of iadademstat + ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) monotherapy in patients with MPN-AP/BP previously untreated with DNMTi.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare iadademstat target engagement between patients treated with iadademstat + ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) monotherapy by evaluating transcriptional changes in proliferative pathways implicated in MPN-AP/BP development and/or progression.
II. To elucidate the common molecular pathways of resistance/progression in patients with MPN-AP/BP receiving DNMTi-based therapy.
III. To measure response using the European LeukemiaNet 2022 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) criteria (Döhner et al., 2022) and compare with the 2012 MPN-BP criteria that is being utilized for primary objective assessment.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of ASTX727 and iadademstat followed by a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive ASTX727 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo buccal swab sample collection at baseline and blood sample collection and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy throughout the study.
ARM II: Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD on days 1-5 and iadademstat PO QD on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo buccal swab sample collection at baseline and blood sample collection and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients who stop the study for reasons other than disease progression are followed up every 3 months. Patients who stop the study due to disease progression, are followed up every 6 months.

To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class II or better
-
The effects of ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and/or iadademstat on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because DNMT inhibitor and LSD1 inhibitor agents are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study participation and 6 months after completion of ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and/or iadademstat administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study participation and 6 months after completion of ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) and/or iadademstat administration
-
Women of child-bearing potential must agree not to donate or freeze egg(s) during the course of this study or within 180 days after receiving their last dose of study drug. Male patients must agree not to donate sperm during the course of this study or within 180 days after receiving their last dose of study drug

- Patients with IDH1-mutated MPN blast phase (≥20% blasts). Patients with an IDH1-mutation with MPN-AP (10-19%) blasts are eligible for this study
- Iadademstat concomitant medication considerations: Patients are not allowed to receive prophylactic hematopoietic colony stimulating factors, any complementary or alternative medicine [any of various systems of healing or treating disease (as non-prescription supplements, herbal medicine and homeopathy)]. Of note, patients may receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for management of febrile neutropenia or for prolonged neutropenia

- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because iadademstat is an LSD1 inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with iadademstat, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with iadademstat. These potential risks also apply to the ASTX727 (35 mg decitabine + 100 mg cedazuridine) used in this study
- Patients who require treatment while on study with concomitant drugs that target the 5HT2B receptor or the sigma nonspecific receptor (e.g., escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline) except for drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the patient and with appropriate treatment monitoring

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acute leukemia response-complete (ALR-C) rate Within 4 cycles (cycle length = 28 days) ALR-C rates will be compared between the two treatment arms using Fisher's exact test at the one-sided, alpha = 0.15 significance level.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Event-free survival From day 1 of randomization to the date of treatment failure, hematological relapse from ALR-C, or death from any cause up to 2 years Treatment failure is defined as not achieving ALR-C by four cycles of therapy. Hematological relapse is defined as ≥ 5% blasts in bone marrow or peripheral blood or development of myeloid sarcoma after achievement of ALR-C or better. Kaplan-Meier curves will be generated and the two treatment arms will be compared using a stratified log rank test. Cox regression modeling, including treatment arm and dichotomized blast percentage as covariates, will also be performed to estimate the hazard ratio, along with a 90% confidence interval.
Overall survival (OS) From randomization to the time of death due to any cause up to 2 years Kaplan-Meier curves will be generated, and the two treatment arms will be compared using a stratified log rank test. Cox regression modeling including treatment arm and dichotomized blast percentage as covariates, will also be performed to estimate the hazard ratio, along with a 90% confidence interval.
Percentage of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) Up to 2 years Descriptive statistics will be utilized for analysis and will be broken down by which treatment arm to which a patient is assigned. The number receiving allo-HCT will be compared between the two treatment arms using Fisher's exact test.
