What is the mechanism of action of this treatment?

Common treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) include hypomethylating agents like azacitidine and decitabine, which work by inhibiting DNA methylation, thereby reactivating tumor suppressor genes and inducing cancer cell death. Targeted therapies, such as FLT3 inhibitors, focus on specific genetic mutations within AML cells, blocking signals that promote cancer cell proliferation. Growth factor inhibitors aim to reduce the autonomous growth of AML cells by targeting cytokines and growth factors that the cancer cells produce. These mechanisms are crucial for AML patients as they offer more personalized and potentially effective treatment options, especially for those with specific genetic profiles or those who are refractory to conventional chemotherapy.

What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) include hypomethylating agents such as azacitidine and decitabine, which are associated with side effects like cytopenias, febrile neutropenia, and gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting). Other targeted therapies, such as IDH inhibitors and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can cause neutropenia, liver enzyme abnormalities, and infusion-related reactions. Overall, these treatments often lead to hematologic toxicities and require careful monitoring and supportive care.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), including hypomethylating agents like azacitidine and decitabine, which are used for patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy. Venetoclax, often combined with azacitidine or decitabine, has also been approved for newly diagnosed AML ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Additionally, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, a CD33-directed antibody-drug conjugate, is approved for certain AML patients. Oral azacitidine (CC-486) is approved for maintenance therapy post-remission. These treatments reflect a trend towards targeted and less intensive therapies, similar to the investigational agent CC-91633 (BMS-986397).

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to CC-91633 for AML patients include: 1) PO-6, a CD123-targeted therapeutic peptide delivered via a micellar system, which prolongs survival by interfering with the CD123/IL-3 axis. 2) AMG 553, a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy targeting FLT3, showing targeted cytotoxicity against FLT3-positive AML cells. 3) SH1573, a mutant IDH2 inhibitor that reduces 2-HG production and promotes differentiation of AML cells. These alternatives offer different mechanisms of action and have shown efficacy in preclinical or early clinical studies.

Summary

This trial tests a new drug, CC-91633, for patients with certain blood cancers that haven't responded to other treatments. Researchers will find the safest dose by increasing it over time and checking for side effects and effectiveness.

Who is the study for?

Adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (R/R HR-MDS), who have not responded to available treatments. They should be in a stable condition, without severe complications like uncontrolled infection/bleeding, and meet specific health criteria such as adequate liver function and no active hepatitis B/C.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing CC-91633 (BMS-986397), an oral medication for R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS. It's a Phase 1 study with two parts: dose escalation to find the maximum tolerated dose, followed by expansion to confirm tolerability and assess preliminary efficacy.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects of CC-91633 are not listed here, common ones for cancer drugs may include nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, liver issues, diarrhea or allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (HR-MDS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Part B (expansion part) will confirm tolerability of the selected doses and schedules and evaluate whether efficacy is in a range that warrants further clinical development for R/R HR-MDS participants.

Group II: Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Part B (expansion part) will confirm tolerability of the selected doses and schedules and evaluate whether efficacy is in a range that warrants further clinical development for R/R AML participants.

Group III: Participants with R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS - Part AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Part A (Dose Escalation) of the study will enroll R/R AML (Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and R/R HR-MDS (Relapsed or Refractory Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes) participants and will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CC-91633, administered orally, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or preliminary recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2D) and schedule.
