About This Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study in Portland

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iadademstat when given together with azacitidine and venetoclax in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Iadademstat inhibits the LSD1 protein and may lead to inhibition of cell growth in LSD1-overexpressing cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving iadademstat with azacitidine and venetoclax may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed AML who cannot undergo intensive chemotherapy.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Patients at least 18 years of age will be considered for inclusion without bias against gender identity, race, or ethnicity
Ability to comprehend the investigational nature of the study and provide written informed consent
Patients with previously untreated, morphologically documented AML based on World Health Organization (WHO) 2008 definitions who are ineligible for standard of care (SOC) intensive chemotherapy (IC) induction OR documented unwillingness to undergo IC induction. Ineligible for IC is defined as:
Documented intermediate- or adverse-risk AML based on European Leukemia Network (ELN) 2022 criteria
Note: Cases of AML (MDS) overlap with 10-19% bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood (PB) blasts will be considered

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance ≤ 2 (Patients aged ≥ 75 years, at the time of consent)
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (Patients aged ≥ 75 years, at the time of consent)
High total bilirubin values may require indirect and direct bilirubin testing. Individuals with known Gilbert's syndrome may be considered for enrollment despite high indirect (and total) bilirubin
Creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≥ 60 mL/min (estimated using the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24 hours urine collection. If altered, CrCl is determined to be related to concomitant medication that alters renal function
Patients aged ≥ 18 to 74 years (ECOG performance status \[PS\] ≤ 3 is accepted) at consent must meet ≥ 1 of the following criteria defining a co morbidity:
ECOG PS of 2 or 3 (Note: Patients ≥ 18 to 74 years of age with PS of 0-1 must meet criteria of one of the following comorbidities.)
Cardiac history of congestive heart failure (CHF) requiring treatment or ejection fraction ≤ 50% or chronic stable angina
Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤ 65% or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≤ 65%
CrCl ≥ 30 mL/min to \< 45 ml/min
Moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin \> 1.5 to ≤ 3.0 × ULN;
High total bilirubin values may require indirect and direct bilirubin testing. Individuals with known Gilbert's syndrome may be considered for enrollment despite high indirect (and total) bilirubin
Other comorbidities that the physician judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy (IC). In these cases, the comorbidity must be reviewed and approved by the principal investigator (PI) before study enrollment
Ability to swallow oral medications
No ongoing anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy within 14 days of start of treatment with IADA
No history of severe bleeding disorder such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B, von Willebrand disease, or history of spontaneous bleeding requiring blood transfusion or other medical intervention
No history of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 180 days of start of IADA
No major bleeding event, as defined by the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH), within 12 weeks of start of IADA
Uncorrected international normalized ratio (INR) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) of \< 1.5 x ULN.
If INR or aPTT \> 1.5 x ULN has been corrected (prior to enrollment), then history of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) must be absent
White blood cell (WBC) \< 20 x 10\^9/L prior to study start. Cytoreduction prior to study treatment is allowed with
Hydroxyurea for up to 14 days and until 24 hours prior to start of IADA; or
Leukapheresis for up to 14 days prior to start of IADA
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 2.0 x institutional ULN
Lower hepatic function may be considered if liver enzyme abnormalities are determined by the treating MD and principal investigator (PI) to be due to leukemic infiltration
Willing and able to
Adhere to study schedule of activities and life style restrictions while on treatment;
Provide bone marrow (BM) aspirate and core biopsy samples; and
Accept supportive and prophylactic care for hematologic toxicities, infection, and immediate sequelae, including transfusions
Negative pregnancy test within 72 hours of start of IADA for persons of childbearing potential (PCBP)
Willingness to comply with study requirements for contraception, as follows: PCBP and sperm-producing participants who are sexually active with a PCBP must use study approved contraception from start of investigational product (first dose of IADA) until 6 months after the last dose of IADA. Pregnancy is

Exclusion Criteria

Prior allergic response to iadademstat (IADA), venetoclax, azacitidine, or any excipients in the formulations
Body weight \< 50 kg
Investigational therapy within 5 half-lives or, if unknown, within 28 days prior to start of IADA
Treatment for AML within 14 days prior to start of IADA. Cytoreduction for patients with proliferative disease must meet the criteria listed in inclusion criteria
Radiotherapy less than 14 days prior to start of IADA
Recent and significant medical interventions, such as major surgery within 28 days prior to the start of IADA, or stem cell transplant within 100 days prior to the start of IADA. Patients with active treatment for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are excluded
Another active malignancy within 5 years prior to the start of IADA, or at the investigator's discretion

Active central nervous system involvement with AML
Uncontrolled infection. Participants with controlled infection must be afebrile and hemodynamically stable for at least 72 hours prior to start of IADA and must be amenable to alternate treatment if current treatment will interact with investigational regimen
Active hepatic disorder or documented positive hepatitis B or C virus (HBV/HCV, respectively) status, except in cases of undetectable HBV/HCV viral load for at least 3 months prior to the start of IADA. (Hepatitis B or C testing is not required for eligibility assessment.)

Use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors within 2 days or 3 half lives whichever is longer, prior to start of treatment with venetoclax
