• DLTs are defined as the following study treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs) occurring in the 1st cycle (i.e., in the first 28 days) of Part A. • 2017 ELN response criteria will be used to assess the Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy results. Part A: Bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy, and peripheral blood, will be obtained at:: Screening; Within 4 days of the end of Cycles 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18; Thereafter, within 4 days of the end of every 6th cycle while on study treatment; At suspected disease progression. Part B: Bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy, and peripheral blood, will be obtained at: Screening; Within 4 days of the end of Cycle 1; Thereafter, within 4 days of the end of Cycle 3 and every 3 cycles thereafter while on study treatment; At suspected disease progression |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Part A: Responses will be assessed per the Modified 2017 ELN response criteria. Blasts in the bone marrow will be defined morphologically by exam of the aspirate and/or biopsy. CRh is defined as <5% of blasts by morphology in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease (blasts in blood by flow cytometry) and at least partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >50,000/μL and ANC >500/μL). Part B: Responses will be assessed per the Modified 2017 European Leukemia Net (ELN) response criteria. Blasts in the bone marrow will be defined morphologically by exam of the aspirate and/or biopsy. • Overall response includes morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), CR, CRh, CRi and PR. • Composite complete remission (CRc = CR + CRh) rate. • The proportion of patients that return to chronic phase (peripheral blast count <10%). • Number of subjects who transition to allogeneic transplant. • Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the time from response initiation to PD/death in subjects who have achieved CR or CRh. Subjects with MLFS by bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy performed earlier in the course of therapy who convert to CRh or CR do not require a separate bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy at time of CRh or CR to document this. • Progression-free survival (PFS )is defined as the time from first dose date to PD per modified 2017 ELN response criteria or death due to any cause, whichever is sooner. • Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from first dose date to death due to any cause. • Analyses of the safety endpoints will include the following measurements or assessments: physical examinations; laboratory tests; KRT-232 dose reductions, interruptions and discontinuations; adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs. • KRT-232 and acyl glucuronide metabolite (M1) PK will be monitored on Cycles 1 and 2 with sparse sampling: - Cycle 1, Cycle 2 on Day 1: Pre-dose and a single point taken anytime from 0.5 to 6 hr post-dose in Part A; pre-dose and 2 hours post-dose in Part B; - Cycle 1 Day 8: 24 hours after the Day 7 dose. |
