Brief summary

This is a multicenter prospective phase IIa dose escalation and phase IIa expansion cohort clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of efprezimod alfa for acute GVHD prophylaxis.

Detailed description

The first part of this study was a phase IIa randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multi-center study to investigate adding efprezimod alfa to standard of care tacrolimus and methotrexate in acute graft-versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) with matched unrelated donors in treatment of leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of efprezimod alfa in participants undergoing matched unrelated donor myeloablative allogeneic HCT for malignant hematologic disorders. Three dose cohorts were planned with 240 mg at day -1 (one day prior to HCT), 480 mg at day -1, and the multi-dose cohort of 480-240-240 mg at day -1, day 14 and day 28. The efprezimod alfa : placebo randomization ratio was 3:1. The second part was a prospective open label phase IIa expansion cohort trial investigating the addition of efprezimod alfa to standard acute graft-versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Based on the first part's safety results and the pharmacokinetic data, the phase IIa expansion dose was the multi-dose 480-240-240 mg regimen administered on day -1, day 14 and day 28, respectively. The primary objective of phase IIa expansion was to determine if the addition of efprezimod alfa to standard GVHD prophylaxis improves 180 days post-HCT grade III-IV acute GVHD-free survival (AGFS) when compared to Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) database registered control participants who had standard GVHD prophylaxis alone. Eligible participants were those requiring allogeneic HCT for malignant hematologic conditions and receiving a myeloablative conditioning regimen.

4.1.1 A prospective participant for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for a malignant hematologic disorder. 4.1.2 The donor and recipient must have a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-8/8 allelic match at the HLA-A, -B, -C, and - DRB1 loci. High-resolution typing is required for all alleles for unmatched donors. Only matched unrelated donors are acceptable for this trial. 4.1.3 The following diagnoses are to be included: 1. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in first or second remission. Remission is defined as the absence of blasts in the peripheral circulation at the time of enrollment, \< 5% blasts in the bone marrow and absence of extramedullary disease including central nervous system (CNS) involvement. 2. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in first or subsequent chronic phase failing to respond (or intolerant) to at least two different tyrosine kinase inhibitors. CML in accelerated or blast phase (CML-AP/BP) are eligible without requirement to fail tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, but must be in remission at time of enrollment. Remission is defined as the absence of blasts in the peripheral circulation at the time of enrollment, \< 5% blasts in the bone marrow and absence of extramedullary disease including CNS involvement. 3. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with intermediate or high-risk International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) or equivalent Revised IPSS (IPSS-R) score with \< 10% blasts in the bone marrow. 4. Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) with \< 10% blasts in the bone marrow. 4.1.4 Males or non-pregnant, non-lactating females, ≥ 18 years of age. Note there is no defined upper age limited, so long as deemed appropriate candidate for myeloablative conditioning. 4.1.5 Karnofsky Performance Status \>70%. 4.1.6 Participants must have normal or near normal organ function as defined by their treating institutions bone marrow transplantation (BMT) program clinical practice guidelines. In addition, for purposes of this protocol minimum organ function criteria within 21 days of beginning conditioning include: TABLE 1: Eligibility According to Pre HCT Organ Function Total bilirubin ≤2.5 mg% (unless from Gilbert's disease or disease-related) Aspartate aminotransferase (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) (AST\[SGOT\])/ alanine aminotransferase (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) (ALT\[SGPT\]) \<3.0 X institutional upper limit of normal Estimated or actual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>50 mL/min/1.73 m2 for participants with creatinine levels above institutional normal (GFR should be corrected for body surface area \[BSA\]) Pulmonary Function Tests\* diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) \> 50% DLCO should be corrected for hemoglobin Ejection Fraction\* \>50% Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) ≤ 5 \*May be assessed up to 6 weeks prior to the start of conditioning therapy 4.1.7 Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. 4.1.8 Women of child bearing potential and men must agree to use contraception prior to study entry and through day 100 post HCT (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is on treatment in this study, she should inform her study physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study until day 100 post HCT.

Exclusion criteria

4.2.1 Participants may not have presence of active CNS disease or extramedullary disease. 4.2.2 Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy within 21 days from the initiation of HCT conditioning (i.e. intensive induction / consolidation for AML).

Pre-assignment details

The CD24Fc 960 mg arm was initiated alongside the other 3 arms. Once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was determined, the other 3 arms ceased recruitment but additional participants were recruited into the CD24Fc 960 mg arm. Per FDA request, all participants in the CD24Fc 960 mg arm are considered a single population.

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Grade II to IV Acute GVHD Following HCT

The percentage of participants who experienced grade II to IV acute GVHD is presented as cumulative incidence of Grade II to IV acute GVHD by approximately 108 days following HCT. Event grading was based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.03 criteria. The cumulative incidence (%) of acute GVHD and the 95% CI were estimated using the cumulative incidence function with death without Grade II to IV acute GVHD as a competing risk.

Time frame: Up to approximately 108 days

Population: All participants who enrolled prior to determination of the recommended phase II dose, received at least one dose of study drug, and underwent HCT were analyzed

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Infection Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT)

The percentage of participants who experienced infection by approximately 101 days following HCT is presented.

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM) Following HCT

The percentage of participants who experienced NRM is presented as cumulative incidence of NRM. The cumulative incidence (%) of NRM at approximately 1 year following HCT and the 95% CI were estimated using the cumulative incidence function with relapse as a competing risk. If the maximum observed time is \< Study Day 380, the cumulative incidence at the maximum observed time will be presented.

Time frame: Up to 380 days

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Relapse Following HCT

The percentage of participants who experienced relapse of disease is presented as cumulative incidence of relapse. The cumulative incidence (%) of relapse at approximately 1 year following HCT and the 95% CI were estimated using the cumulative incidence function with death without relapse as a competing risk. If the maximum observed time is \< Study Day 380, the cumulative incidence at the maximum observed time is presented.

Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT)

RFS is defined as the time from HCT to relapse or death due to any cause. Participants were censored at 380 days for the Placebo, CD24Fc 240 mg, and CD24Fc 480 mg arms, and at 366 days for the CD24Fc 960 mg arm.

Time frame: Up to 380 days for the Placebo, CD24Fc 240 mg, and CD24Fc 480 mg arms. Up to 366 days for the CD24Fc 960 mg arm

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study drug and underwent HCT were analyzed
