1565GCC Trial Summary

This trial is exploring whether a new experimental drug, talazoparib, when given with the already-used decitabine, is more successful in treating AML than decitabine given alone. There are two parts to the study, with the first part aiming to find the best doses of decitabine and talazoparib to use when given together, enrolling anywhere from 2-36 people. Part two of the study then looks at how well the drugs work together to treat AML on a larger scale, with 79-135 people. The trial is being conducted at multiple centers with up to 171 people globally

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phase 2: Decitabine and Talazoparib ComboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Phase 2: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) The MTD of the combination of decitabine with a dose of talazoparib of at least 0.25 mg is defined as the maximal tolerated dose of decitabine studied - and for that dose level, combined with the maximum dose of talazoparib for which the incidence of DLT was less than 33% in 6 participants treated and this will be chosen as the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Among potential combined dose levels at MTD, available pharmacodynamic data (PARP trapping) will also be considered in the choice of RP2D, as will any significant indications of differences in clinical efficacy
Group II: Phase 1: Decitabine and Talazoparib ComboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Phase 1: Decitabine by IV daily for 5 days every 28 days. Talazoparib orally daily days 1-28. The 'outer layer' of this nested dose escalation trial will escalate the dose of the two drugs by sequentially going through dose levels 1-6 in the table found in the protocol. The standard algorithm of the 3+3 design will be applied.
Group III: Phase 2 Arm AActive Control2 Interventions
Adult patients with AML who are thought not to be likely to tolerate or respond to standard chemotherapy
Group IV: Phase 2 Arm BActive Control2 Interventions
Adult patients with AML that has not responded to previous treatment or has come back after responding to previous treatment
Group V: Phase 2 Arm CActive Control2 Interventions
Adult patients previously treated with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (decitabine, azacitidine or guadecitabine)
