Brief Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with a type of blood cancer called precursor B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) that is relapsed- the cancer has come back after treatment, or refractory - the current treatment has stopped working to slow or stop cancer growth. This study will have two parts. In the first part (dose escalation phase) the goal is to learn about the safety of a study treatment, MK-1045, and to find the best dose level of MK-1045 that is tolerated and may work to treat B-ALL. In the second part (Phase II) researchers want to learn how well MK-1045 works to treat B-ALL

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase Ib/II study in subjects with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

This study is designed in 2 parts as described below: Phase Ib (dose escalation and expansion) and Phase II. If in Phase Ib it is observed in adult subjects at doses with manageable risk and antitumor activity, studies in pediatric subjects can be initiated to explore safety and efficacy in pediatric subjects, as well as pharmacokinetic profiles.

For Phase Ib, the dose escalation employs Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design. Administered by IV infusion, once every week (QW), will be evaluated to determine the MTD and/or RP2D of CN201.

After RP2D is determined in Phase Ib, the Phase II study will be initiated to further evaluate the safety, tolerance, PK and PD characteristics, and anti-tumor activity of CN201 in subjects with B-ALL. Simon's two-stage minimax design will be employed to preliminarily explore the efficacy of CN201 in treatment of R/R B-ALL.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants who Experience at Least One Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 24 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 21 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants Who Experience a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)Up to 28 days

A DLT is defined as any of the following toxicities and judged by the investigator to be related to the study drug:

Hematologic toxic reactions: If thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia are caused by primary leukemia, they are not considered as DLTs.

Non-Hematologic toxic reactions: Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity that does not recover to ≤ Grade 2 within 14 days of best supportive therapy. Grade 3 rash, fatigue, fever, or infection will not be classified as DLT; other Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities that do not recover to ≤ Grade 2 within 14 days of best supportive therapy is considered DLTs.

Others that are considered as DLTs: Other toxicities considered clinically significant by the investigator that result in permanent drug withdrawal.

Dose Escalation Phase: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of MK-1045Up to approximately 21 months

The MTD will be determined based on the incidence of DLT in each dose level. The dose level for which the DLT rate is closest to the target DLT rate (30%) will be selected as the MTD.
