What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called CC-96191 for individuals with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer unresponsive to other treatments. The trial aims to assess the safety and tolerability of this treatment and to understand its effects on the cancer. Participants will receive CC-96191 through an IV every 28 days. Those with relapsed or refractory AML who have not found success with other treatments might be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have received systemic anticancer therapy or radiotherapy within 28 days before starting the study treatment, except for hydroxyurea to control leukemia blasts.

Is there any evidence suggesting that CC-96191 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research shows that CC-96191 could be a promising treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CC-96191 is a "TriNKET" protein drug that targets specific proteins on AML cells. While this might sound complex, the main point is that this drug is designed to attack cancer cells.

Since the study is in an early phase, information from human trials remains limited. This phase focuses on ensuring the drug's safety and determining the right dose. Participants in these studies help researchers understand any side effects or reactions.

Although detailed safety data from this study isn't available yet, the trial's progression suggests the treatment is considered safe enough for human testing. Safety is the top priority in these early studies, and participants are closely monitored for any unwanted or harmful side effects.

Prospective participants should know that researchers are carefully watching for any potential issues to ensure participant safety. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for acute myeloid leukemia?

CC-96191 is unique because it introduces a novel approach to treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through its experimental use. While most AML treatments rely on chemotherapy and targeted therapies that attack cancer cells directly, CC-96191 is administered intravenously in a 28-day cycle, potentially offering a different mechanism of action. Researchers are excited about CC-96191 because it might provide a new avenue of treatment that could enhance efficacy or reduce side effects compared to existing options, offering hope for better patient outcomes.

What evidence suggests that CC-96191 might be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia?

Research has shown that CC-96191, the investigational treatment in this trial, may effectively treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Studies have found that it can remove AML cells from patient samples without harming healthy white blood cells called monocytes. This indicates that CC-96191 might specifically attack leukemia cells. It works by attaching to a marker on leukemia cells known as CD33, which is crucial for its action. These early findings suggest that CC-96191 could be a promising treatment for AML. ^{1 2 3 5 6}

Published Research Related to This Trial

Midostaurin, a multikinase inhibitor, was found to have a manageable safety profile in a study of 103 patients with FLT3 mutation-positive acute myeloid leukemia, with no new safety events reported during treatment.

The treatment showed promising outcomes, including high rates of transplant success and low relapse rates during maintenance therapy, indicating its efficacy when combined with chemotherapy.

The FLAG-IDA chemotherapy regimen was administered to seven children with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and while it was tolerable with no early deaths, the efficacy remains uncertain due to high relapse rates and limited patient numbers.

Hematological toxicity was common among patients, with one case of severe non-hematological toxicity (bacterial meningitis), highlighting the need for careful monitoring during treatment.

Bortezomib combined with chemotherapy was found to be tolerable for pediatric patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with complete response rates of 29% for those with lower prior anthracycline exposure and 43% for those with higher exposure.

Despite the tolerability, the treatment regimens did not meet the predetermined efficacy thresholds for continued patient enrollment, indicating that while bortezomib may help deplete leukemia initiating cells, it may not significantly improve overall response rates in this patient population.

In a study of 52 elderly patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a high mutation frequency of 98.1% was observed, with specific mutations like DNMT3A and TET2 being more common as age increased, indicating important molecular characteristics for diagnosis and treatment.

Among 39 patients treated with DCAG chemotherapy, a complete remission rate of 71.8% was achieved, suggesting that this treatment is effective for elderly AML patients.

In a phase 3 study involving 457 elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia, tipifarnib did not significantly improve overall survival compared to best supportive care, with median survival times of 107 days for tipifarnib and 109 days for supportive care.

The complete response rate for tipifarnib was only 8%, and while it had a similar duration of response as seen in previous studies, it was associated with a higher incidence of severe side effects, such as infections and febrile neutropenia, compared to best supportive care.

A phase III study demonstrated that combining azacitidine with the IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib significantly improves treatment outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia who cannot undergo intensive chemotherapy.

The combination therapy tripled overall survival rates and enhanced complete remission and event-free survival compared to azacitidine alone, indicating a substantial efficacy boost from this drug pairing.

In a study of 61 adult patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF AML), the combination of dasatinib with chemotherapy resulted in a high complete remission rate of 90% and a low relapse rate of only 16% after a median follow-up of 45 months.

Dasatinib was found to be safe with no unexpected toxicities, and it provided comparable outcomes for patients with mutated KIT genes, suggesting it may mitigate the negative effects of this mutation on treatment efficacy.

In a study of 19 patients over 70 years old with acute myeloid leukemia, those who received a priming regimen of chemotherapy had a significantly longer median survival time of 11 months compared to just 2 months for those receiving best supportive treatment.

The study found a complete response rate of 46.6% and an overall response rate of 73% after 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy, indicating that the priming regimen is both effective and well-tolerated in older patients.

Glasdegib, a smoothened (SMO) inhibitor, has been approved by the FDA and EMA for treating naïve acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy, showing efficacy in controlling the disease when combined with low-dose cytarabine.

Clinical studies indicate that glasdegib has a favorable safety profile and may enhance the effectiveness of both traditional chemotherapy and biological treatments, such as FLT3 inhibitors, although further research is needed to identify which patients will benefit the most.

Recent advancements in drug approvals for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have significantly improved treatment options, particularly for patients with specific genetic abnormalities, such as core-binding factor and FLT3.

For newly diagnosed patients who are considered 'unfit' for traditional chemotherapy, a combination of venetoclax and azacitidine is recommended, highlighting the need for ongoing research to better define patient fitness for treatment.
