LP-108 + Azacitidine for Leukemia
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment for certain blood cancers, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers aim to determine if the new drug, LP-108, alone or with azacitidine, is safe and effective for patients whose cancer has returned or hasn't responded to other treatments. The trial consists of two parts: one tests different doses of LP-108 alone, and the other combines LP-108 with azacitidine. People with these cancers who haven't had success with standard therapies and experience frequent symptoms may be eligible to join. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new medication.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
You may need to stop certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you should not take strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, strong CYP3A4 inducers, P-gp and BCRP inhibitors, immunosuppressive drugs over 10mg prednisone, statins, systemic acid-reducing agents, and certain CYP2C8 substrates. There is a washout period for some medications, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that LP-108, whether used alone or with azacitidine, is generally well tolerated by patients with certain blood cancers like MDS, CMML, and AML. Most participants did not experience severe side effects, and the treatment is considered to have an acceptable safety profile.
In the current early-stage trial (Phase 1), the main focus is on ensuring the treatment's safety and determining the best dose. Researchers are still learning about any possible side effects. The fact that LP-108 is being tested in humans suggests that earlier research indicated it might be safe enough for broader testing. Prospective participants should discuss details and concerns with a healthcare professional before joining a trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about LP-108 for leukemia because it offers a fresh approach compared to standard treatments like chemotherapy. LP-108 is a novel oral medication that targets specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth, potentially leading to more precise treatment with fewer side effects. When combined with azacitidine, LP-108 may enhance effectiveness by working synergistically to tackle leukemia cells more aggressively. This combination could provide a more effective and potentially less toxic alternative to current therapies, sparking hope for improved outcomes in leukemia treatment.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for leukemia?
Research has shown that LP-108 may be a promising treatment for certain blood cancers. In studies involving patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant conditions, such as Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), LP-108 alone achieved a response rate of 54.5%. This indicates that more than half of the patients experienced a significant positive effect from the treatment. In this trial, some participants will receive LP-108 as monotherapy, while others will receive it in combination with azacitidine. Researchers continue to study specific results for this combination, but the positive responses suggest that LP-108, especially when combined with azacitidine, could be effective for patients with these challenging conditions.12456
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced blood cancers like MDS, CMML, or AML that have come back or didn't respond to treatment. They should have functioning kidneys and liver, no serious heart issues, and a blast count under control. It's not for those who've had recent cancer treatments they haven't recovered from, stem cell transplants within the last 60 days, active brain involvement by leukemia, or are on strong drugs affecting liver enzymes.Inclusion Criteria

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- LP-108
- LP-108 and Azacitidine
Trial Overview
The study tests LP-108 alone and combined with azacitidine in pill form to see how safe it is and how well it works against specific blood cancers. The doses will be increased slowly to find the highest dose patients can take without bad side effects.

Experimental Treatment
Three to 6 subjects per treatment cohort will be assigned to receive sequentially higher oral doses of LP-108 on a once daily schedule for 28 days (a "Cycle") starting at a dose of 100 mg in combination with azacitidine at 75 mg/m2.
