Evaluating QTc, PK, Safety of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) in Patients With CD33+ R/R AML

A SINGLE ARM, OPEN-LABEL, PHASE 4 STUDY EVALUATING QT INTERVAL, PHARMACOKINETICS, AND SAFETY OF GEMTUZUMAB OZOGAMICIN (MYLOTARG (TRADEMARKER)) AS A SINGLE-AGENT REGIMEN IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED OR REFRACTORY CD33-POSITIVE ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA

This is a single-arm, open-label, Phase 4 study evaluating the effect of GO on the QTc, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of GO as a single-agent monotherapy in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory CD33-positive AML.

This is a single-arm, open-label, Phase 4 study evaluating the effect of GO on the QTc, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of GO as a single-agent monotherapy in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory CD33-positive AML. Approximately 50 adult (age >=18 years) and 6 pediatric (12 years =< age =< 17 years) patients who satisfy the study eligibility criteria will be enrolled. Enrolled patients will receive GO 3 mg/m2 up to 2 cycles on Days 1, 4, and 7 at each cycle. The impact of GO on VOD/SOS in the context of previous and subsequent HSCT will also be assessed. Patients enrolled in the study will receive three doses of GO 3 mg/m2 (up to one vial) as a 2-hour intravenous infusion on Cycle 1 Days 1, 4, and 7. A second cycle of GO 3mg/m² (up to one vial) on Cycle 2 Days 1, 4, and 7 will be allowed at the investigator's discretion for patients who meet the following criteria after Cycle 1: Bone marrow with a decrease of blast percentage to at least 25% or a decrease of pretreatment blast percentage by at least 50%; and Blood count with neutrophils >=1,000/µL, and platelets >=50,000/µL, except in patients with the bone marrow blasts >=5%, the decrease in neutrophils and platelets thought to be due to the underlying leukemia. After GO treatment, subsequent anticancer therapy such as consolidation or conditioning regimen and/or HSCT could be considered at the investigator's discretion. A minimum interval of 2 months is recommended between the last dose of GO and HSCT.

Inclusion Criteria

• Refractory or relapsed (ie, bone marrow blasts >5%) CD33-positive AML.
• Age >=12 years.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 to 2.
• Initial peripheral white blood cells (WBC) counts >=30,000/mL; patients with a higher WBC count should undergo cytoreduction.
• Adequate renal/hepatic functions

Exclusion Criteria

• Patients with prior treatment with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO).
• Patients with prior history of VOD/SOS.
• Prior HSCT is not allowed, if it was conducted within 2 months prior to study enrollment.
• Patients with known active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia.
• Uncontrolled or active infectious status.
• Uncontrolled cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE Grade 2, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation of any grade.
• Sero-positivity to human immunodeficieny virus (HIV).
• Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
• Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other anti-cancer therapy (except hydroxyurea as cytoreduction) within 2 weeks prior to enrollment in the study.
• Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
• QTc interval >470 milliseconds (msec) using the Fridericia (QTcF), family or personal history of long or short QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome or known history of QTc prolongation, or Torsade de Pointes (TdP).
• The use of medications known to predispose to Torsades de Pointes within 2 weeks prior to enrollment
• History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO).
