Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The design of a phase I, open label, dose finding study was chosen in order to establish a safe and tolerated dose of single agent ABL001 in Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) patients who are relapsed or refractory to or are intolerant of Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and of ABL001+Nilotinib, ABL001+Imatinib and ABL001+Dasatinib in Ph positive CML patients who are relapsed or refractory to TKIs.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

a. Patients with Ph+ CML in chronic or accelerated phase who were previously treated with at least two different tyrosine kinase inhibitors prior to study entry and are relapsed, refractory to or intolerant of TKIs as determined by investigators or b. Patients with CML in chronic or accelerated phase who exhibit relapsed disease associated with the presence of the T315I "gatekeeper mutation" after at least one TKI are also eligible provided that no other effective therapy exists
Patients with CML BP or Ph+ ALL who have a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis and are relapsed or refractory to at least one prior TKI or intolerant of TKIs. TKI failure for Ph+ ALL and CML-BP patients is defined as at least the loss of Molecular Response (MR) 4.5 (BCR-ABL ≤ 0.0032%)
