Overview
Brief Summary
This study is being done to see how safe an investigational drug is and test how well it will work to help people with refractory/relapsed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
Detailed Description
The main purpose of this study is to see whether the participant's disease responds favorably to the investigational drug, PF-04449913. Post treatment Phase: After coming off of active treatment study drug (PF-04449913), participants will be followed monthly for survival only. No other data will be captured during this time.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Must have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis by World Health Organization (WHO) Criteria of MDS, CMML, or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (except acute promyelocytic leukemia) with \< 30% bone marrow blasts (RAEB-t by French American British criteria)
- •Hypomethylating agent (azacitidine and/or decitabine) failure, defined as lack of response, disease progression, loss of response, or intolerance as deemed by the study investigator
- •Adequate renal function, as evidenced by a serum creatinine ≤ 2 times the institutional upper limit of normal
- •Adequate hepatic function, as evidenced by a serum bilirubin \< 2 times the institutional upper limit of normal and an aspartic transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) \< 2 times the institutional upper limit of normal. Indirect hyperbilirubinemia due to Gilbert's disease or hemolysis is permitted.
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
- •Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- •Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with a history of prior therapy with another investigational agent within 4 weeks of the first planned dose of PF-0444913
- •Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- •History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to PF-04449913
- •Prior therapy with another hedgehog inhibitor
- •Concurrent use of any other agent for MDS, CMML, or AML. Growth factor use with epoetin, darbepoetin, or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor must be terminated at least 2 weeks before initiation of study treatment.
- •Any uncontrolled concurrent illness that would, in the opinion of the investigator, limit compliance with study requirements
- •Second malignancy requiring active therapy
- •A prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) of ≥480 ms interval on electrocardiogram
- •History of metastatic cancer diagnosed less than 2 years prior to the first planned dose of PF-0444913
- •Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
Arms & Interventions
PF-04449913 Treatment
Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. All patients will be treated with an oral dose PF-04449913 at 100 mg daily in 4-week cycles for a total of 4 cycles. Patients who demonstrate no evidence of progressive disease (i.e. stable disease or better) may continue on treatment until disease progression or loss of response, limiting toxicity, or death.
Intervention: PF-04449913
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall International Working Group (IWG) 2006 Response Rate
Time Frame: Up to 2 years, 4 months
Response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence. All responses must last for at least 8 weeks. Complete Remission (CR): Bone marrow: ≤ 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines, Persistent dysplasia will be noted, Peripheral blood: Hemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL, Platelets ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L, Neutrophils ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L, Blasts 0% ; Partial Remission (PR): All CR criteria if abnormal before treatment, except: Bone marrow blasts decreased by ≥ 50% over pretreatment but still \> 5%, Cellularity and morphology not relevant; Marrow CR or Hematological Improvement (HI): Bone marrow: ≤ 5% myeloblasts and decrease by ≥ 50% over pretreatment Peripheral blood: if HI responses, they will be noted in addition to marrow CR. Further investigation of PF-04449913 would not be warranted if it produced an overall response rate (CR + PR + marrow CR+HI) of 10% or less (p0), and would be warranted if it produced an overall response rate of 30% or more (p1).
Secondary Outcomes
- Median Event Free Survival(Up to 2 years, 4 months)
- Median Overall Survival (OS)(Up to 2 years, 4 months)
- Median Time to Transformation to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)(Up to 2 years, 4 months)
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events(2 years, 4 months)
