Study description
This study was done to test a new anticancer drug, S64315, combined with another anticancer drug, venetoclax, in participants with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).
AML is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In AML, the cancer cells have higher amounts of certain proteins. These proteins are Mcl1 (myeloid cell leukaemia 1) and Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2). They protect cancer cells from destruction by the body’s defence system.
S64315 is a drug that blocks Mcl-1 proteins.
In this study, S64315 was combined with another drug called venetoclax (study drugs). Venetoclax is already approved for the treatment of AML in combination with other drugs. Venetoclax blocks Bcl-2 proteins. It was hoped that by combining S64315 and venetoclax their actions on the cancer cells may be more effective.
The main objectives of this study were:
- To look at the safety of S64315 in patients when given in combination with venetoclax.
- To find the highest dose of S64315 and venetoclax that participants could take without too much risk (highest tolerated dose). This highest tolerated dose helps to find the recommended dose (the one that is both safe and effective for patients).
- S 64315 (also referred as MIK665) and venetoclax
- CL1-64315-002
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sex
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part, participants had to:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have AML that:
- returned after improvement (relapsed) or did not respond to any treatment (refractory),
or
-
- was secondary to a condition called myelodysplastic syndrome which means the bone marrow does not make enough healthy blood cells,
or
-
- Be aged 65 years or older, were too frail to support intensive treatment and had not previously been treated for AML.
Participants could not take part in the study if they:
- Had received anticancer treatment with medicine or radiation within two weeks before starting the study.
- Had a cancer other than AML.
How is the study designed?
S64315 was given through infusion (injection given slowly) into a vein. Infusion time was about 30 minutes (and up to 3 hours if clinically indicated). Venetoclax was given as tablets taken orally. Participants took a combination of S64315 once a week and venetoclax once a day.
