Overview
Brief Summary
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of APTO-253 for the treatment of patients with the condition of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) for which either the standard treatment has failed, is no longer effective, or can no longer be administered safely or poses a risk for your general well being.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase Ia/b dose escalation study of safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of APTO-253 in ascending cohorts (3+3 design) to determine the MTD or recommended dose in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS patients. This is to be followed by a cohort expansion phase at the MTD or recommended dose.

Arms & Interventions
Dose Escalation and Expansion
APTO-253 will be given in ascending doses in patients with relapsed or refractory AML or high risk MDS (escalation cohort), until the maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose is reached. Followed by up to 30 patients enrolled in the expansion cohort at the recommended dose.
Intervention: APTO-253
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicities
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of APTO-253 when given on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle.
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events of APTO-253
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)
To determine the safety and tolerability of APTO-253 by assessing treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Establish recommended dose for future development of APTO-253
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
To establish the dose of APTO-253 recommended for future development of APTO-253 for patients with specific types of hematologic malignancies.
Secondary Outcomes
- Assess for any evidence of antitumor activity of APTO-253 by hematologic and bone marrow evaluations in acute leukemia and MDS.(Average 2 Cycles (8 weeks))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including minimum plasma concentration (Cmin)(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including volume of distribution(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including Area Under the Curve (AUC)(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including clearance(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Pharmacokinetic variables including serum half-life(Cycle 1 (28 days))
- Determine the ability of APTO-253 to alter the expression of pharmacodynamic biomarkers of drug effect.(Average 2 Cycles (8 weeks))
