Dataset Information

Phase 1 study of belinostat and adavosertib in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloid malignancies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Belinostat is an intravenous histone deacetylase inhibitor with approval for T-cell lymphomas. Adavosertib is a first in class oral Wee1 inhibitor. Preclinical studies of the combination demonstrated synergy in various human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lines as well as AML xenograft mouse models.

Experimental design

This was a phase 1 dose-escalation study of belinostat and adavosertib in patients with relapsed/refractory AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients received both drugs on days 1-5 and 8-12 of a 21-day cycle. Safety and toxicity were monitored throughout the study. Plasma levels of both drugs were measured for pharmacokinetic analysis. Response was determined by standard criteria including bone marrow biopsy.

Results

Twenty patients were enrolled and treated at 4 dose levels. A grade 4 cytokine release syndrome at dose level 4 (adavosertib 225 mg/day; belinostat 1000 mg/m²) qualified as a dose-limiting toxicity event. The most common non-hematologic treatment-related adverse events were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dysgeusia, and fatigue. No responses were seen. The study was terminated prior to maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose determination.

Conclusions

The combination of belinostat and adavosertib at the tested dose levels was feasible but without efficacy signals in the relapsed/refractory MDS/AML population.

Project description:BackgroundCovalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors are efficacious in multiple B-cell malignancies, but patients discontinue these agents due to resistance and intolerance. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of pirtobrutinib (working name; formerly known as LOXO-305), a highly selective, reversible BTK inhibitor, in these patients.MethodsPatients with previously treated B-cell malignancies were enrolled in a first-in-human, multicentre, open-label, phase 1/2 trial of the BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib. The primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose (phase 1) and overall response rate (ORR; phase 2). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03740529.Findings323 patients were treated with pirtobrutinib across seven dose levels (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg, and 300 mg once per day) with linear dose-proportional exposures. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The recommended phase 2 dose was 200 mg daily. Adverse events in at least 10% of 323 patients were fatigue (65 [20%]), diarrhoea (55 [17%]), and contusion (42 [13%]). The most common adverse event of grade 3 or higher was neutropenia (32 [10%]). There was no correlation between pirtobrutinib exposure and the frequency of grade 3 treatment-related adverse events. Grade 3 atrial fibrillation or flutter was not observed, and grade 3 haemorrhage was observed in one patient in the setting of mechanical trauma. Five (1%) patients discontinued treatment due to a treatment-related adverse event. In 121 efficacy evaluable patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) treated with a previous covalent BTK inhibitor (median previous lines of treatment 4), the ORR with pirtobrutinib was 62% (95% CI 53-71). The ORR was similar in CLL patients with previous covalent BTK inhibitor resistance (53 [67%] of 79), covalent BTK inhibitor intolerance (22 [52%] of 42), BTK C481-mutant (17 [71%] of 24) and BTK wild-type (43 [66%] of 65) disease. In 52 efficacy evaluable patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) previously treated with covalent BTK inhibitors, the ORR was 52% (95% CI 38-66). Of 117 patients with CLL, SLL, or MCL who responded, all but eight remain progression-free to date.InterpretationPirtobrutinib was safe and active in multiple B-cell malignancies, including patients previously treated with covalent BTK inhibitors. Pirtobrutinib might address a growing unmet need for alternative therapies for these patients.FundingLoxo Oncology.
