Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is being performed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical effects of BVD-523 given orally, twice daily for 21-day cycles, in patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
Detailed description
The study is being performed to assess the safety and tolerability of BVD-523 given orally, twice daily for 21-day cycles. Part 1 of the study will establish dose limiting toxicities (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). In Part 2 of the study, additional patients with particular tumor types and/or cancers harboring specific genetic mutations will be recruited for treatment at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). Patients may also be assessed pharmacodynamic measures in healthy or malignant tissues, using biomarker assays for phosphorylation, cytotoxic or cytostatic measures.
Interventions
Oral, multiple escalating doses, twice daily, for 21 days in each treatment cycle

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Have either of the following diagnoses: 1. Morphologically confirmed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), except acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), including leukemia secondary to prior therapy or antecedent hematologic disorder (e.g., MDS or myeloproliferative disorders), who have failed to achieve CR or who have relapsed after prior therapy and are not candidates for potentially curative therapy 2.

Steady-state Plasma Concentration of BVD-523 and Selected Metabolites Over 12 Hours
The PK population consisted of patients who received at least one dose of BVD-523 and had evaluable PK data in plasma.
Time frame: Samples will be collected on or about Day 22 of the protocol
Population: The cohort-expansion patients were not separated by RAS status for the purposes of this assessment. Two patients in the cohort expansion had to have their dose reduced to 300mg BID and were analyzed separately (Cmax 1000 \& 1340 ng/mL on Day 22). 00 = not calculated (only 1 evaluable patient).

Pharmacodynamic Results of Inhibition (%) of Molecular Target (ERK Pathway) Assessed by Blood and Tissue Analyses.
Multiple biomarkers intended to demonstrate inhibition of the molecular target, and mechanism of action were investigated from blood and/or bone marrow aspirate samples. Phosphorylation of ERK enzyme substrate proteins (e.g. RSK1 and RSK2 genes) were measured. Additional biomarkers, including PBMCs and/or DNA sequence analysis, were identified and measured as appropriate. Measurements were by ELISA. The pharmacodynamics (PD) population was defined as all patients who received at least one dose of study drug and had sufficient, valid PD samples to estimate key parameters for at least one of the days of sampling.
Time frame: Patients will be evaluated at baseline and on or about Day 22 of the protocol
Population: Data was not collected/reported for patient at time point or patient did not start a second cycle.
