NCT06372717
Lead Sponsor
Apollo Therapeutics Ltd
Brief Summary

This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of APL-4098 alone and/or in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/AML and MDS-excess blasts (EB). Participants with the MDS-EB subtype will be eligible for the Phase 1 part of the study only.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the Pharmacokinetics of APL-4098 alone and/or in combination with azacitidine (Phase 1)On Days 1, 2, 4, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, and on Day 1 of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

Evaluate PK parameters: Time to peak concentration (Tmax)

Assess efficacy of APL-4098 alone and/or in combination with azacitidine (Phase 2)Response is assessed at Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle is 28 days long), then every three cycles thereafter (assessed for up to 2 years)

Response is assessed per European LeukemiaNet 2022 criteria

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Safety] (Phase 1)Through study completion, approximately one year

Evaluation of safety parameters including treatment emergent adverse events as detected by hematology, chemistry, coagulation safety labs, physical exams, vital signs, Electrocardiogram results

Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities [Tolerability] (Phase 1)Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 1 (a cycle is 28 days)

Evaluation of tolerability parameters including dose limiting toxicities as detected by hematology, chemistry, coagulation safety labs, physical exams, vital signs, and Electrocardiogram results
