Study description
This study was done to see if a new cancer drug called S65487 is safe and could be beneficial for treating the following types of blood cancers:
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): a cancer of the blood and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made).
- Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL): a cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. This system is a part of the body’s defence system that fights against infections.
- Multiple Myeloma (MM): a cancer that affects a type of white blood cells called plasma cells.
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): a cancer that starts from white blood cells (called lymphocytes).
In these types of blood cancers, cancer cells have higher amounts of certain proteins. One of these proteins is BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2). This protein protects cancer cells from death, allowing them to survive and multiply.
S65487 is a drug that blocks BCL-2 proteins. By blocking BCL-2 proteins, this drug could cause cancer cells to die.
The main objectives of the study were:
- To look at the safety of S65487.
- To find the highest dose of S65487 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).
- S65487- initial scheme
- S65487 - alternative scheme

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 one of the following cancers that returned after improvement (relapsed) or did not respond to any treatment (refractory):
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
- Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
- Multiple Myeloma (MM)
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
- Have adequate organ function.
Participants could not take part in the study if they:
- Had received treatment with a similar drug (a Bcl-2 inhibitor) that did not work.
- Had any major surgery or treatment with radiation within the 3 weeks before starting the study.
How is the study designed?
S65487 was given once every week in cycles of 21 days.
The participants received S65487 through infusion (injection given slowly) into a vein.
S65487 was given on Days 1, 3, 5, 8 and 15 in each 21-day cycle.
