What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new drug, CC-91633, for patients with certain blood cancers that haven't responded to other treatments. Researchers will find the safest dose by increasing it over time and checking for side effects and effectiveness.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it excludes participants who are on ongoing treatment with certain anticoagulants (blood thinners). It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What makes the drug CC-91633 unique for treating leukemia?

The drug CC-91633 (BMS-986397) is unique because it represents a novel approach to treating leukemia, potentially offering a new mechanism of action or targeting specific pathways not addressed by existing treatments. While the research does not provide specific details about CC-91633, it highlights the rapid advancements in leukemia treatments, suggesting that CC-91633 may contribute to these innovative therapies. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (R/R HR-MDS), who have not responded to available treatments. They should be in a stable condition, without severe complications like uncontrolled infection/bleeding, and meet specific health criteria such as adequate liver function and no active hepatitis B/C.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• CC-91633

Trial Overview The trial is testing CC-91633 (BMS-986397), an oral medication for R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS. It's a Phase 1 study with two parts: dose escalation to find the maximum tolerated dose, followed by expansion to confirm tolerability and assess preliminary efficacy.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (HR-MDS) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Part B (expansion part) will confirm tolerability of the selected doses and schedules and evaluate whether efficacy is in a range that warrants further clinical development for R/R HR-MDS participants.

Group II: Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Part B (expansion part) will confirm tolerability of the selected doses and schedules and evaluate whether efficacy is in a range that warrants further clinical development for R/R AML participants.

Group III: Participants with R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS - Part A Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Part A (Dose Escalation) of the study will enroll R/R AML (Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and R/R HR-MDS (Relapsed or Refractory Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes) participants and will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CC-91633, administered orally, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or preliminary recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2D) and schedule.

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of 43 patients with advanced chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the type of chemotherapy used for mobilizing peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) significantly affected the success of harvesting Ph-negative cells, with 'mini-ICE/ICE' yielding better results than '5+2/7+3'.

All 25 patients who underwent PBSC transplantation after successful mobilization engrafted without any transplantation-related mortality, indicating a safe and effective approach for patients not responsive to conventional therapies.

Outcome of peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in advanced phases of CML is dependent on the type of chemotherapy applied. Fischer, T., Neubauer, A., Mohm, J., et al.[2019]

Infant leukemias, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), are aggressive and often difficult to treat, with specific genetic abnormalities like the KMT2A-AFF1 fusion indicating a poor prognosis.

Some neonatal leukemias can show spontaneous remission, especially those with the t(8;16) translocation, highlighting the need for international studies to better understand and improve treatment options for these rare conditions.

In a study of 83 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT), durable engraftment was achieved in 97% of cases, indicating a high success rate for the procedure.

The overall survival rates were 64% for patients in chronic phase, 53% for those in accelerated phase, and 30% for patients in blast crisis, demonstrating that earlier stages of CML have better outcomes after transplantation.

Recent advancements in leukemia treatments have led to high cure rates, such as over 90% for hairy cell leukemia with cladribine and rituximab, and 80-90% for acute promyelocytic leukemia using all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, once considered incurable, may now be potentially curable with targeted therapies like Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors and venetoclax, showcasing the significant progress in leukemia treatment options.

The Philadelphia chromosome, resulting from a specific genetic translocation (t(9;22)), is a key marker for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and is linked to a poor prognosis in other leukemias, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

In 80% of CML cases, the disease progresses through clonal evolution, and the emergence of an isochromosome 17q indicates a transition to a more aggressive myeloid blast crisis, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies beyond palliative care.
