A Study to Assess Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of LP-108 Combined With Azacitidine In Subjects With AML, MDS, CMML

A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of LP-108, a BCL-2 Inhibitor, Combined With Azacitidine In Subjects With AML, MDS, CMML

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation & expansion study to evaluate the safety,tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of LP-108, a BCL-2 inhibitor, combined with azacitidine, to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and to assess the preliminary efficacy of this combination.

This Phase 1 study will look at different doses and different treatment schedules in order to better understand the effects of the combined regimens on the newly diagnosed or refractory/relapsed adult participants with AML ,MDS or CMML. The procedures include screening for eligibility, study treatments, and blood & bone marrow tests. All the safety events will be record, pharmacokinetic parameters (Tmax, Cmax,T1/2, AUC et al.) will be calculated, response and survival will be assess during the study. Participants will be treated indefinitely until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal for other reasons.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject must has a diagnosis of one of the following: relapsed or refractory (R/R) or untreated ineligible for treatment with a standard induction chemotherapy acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ; R/R myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) or untreated MDS with excess blasts defined as ≥ 5% blasts in either bone marrow or blood or with high risk (high and very high-risk groups according to IPSS-R) ;CMML-1 or 2 by WHO, no requirements for prior therapy.
