Brief summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, phase Ⅱ study consisting of dose escalation and ex-pansion stages in unfit newly diagnosed AML.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, phase Ⅱ study consisting of dose escalation and ex-pansion stages in unfit newly diagnosed AML. Patients in dose escalation stage received oral MAX-40279 at three doses, in combination with VEN and AZA in 28-day cycles. Three to six patients were enrolled at each dose level. The dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) observation period was 28 days after the first dose. All evaluable patients with ≥1 cycle treatment were included in preliminary efficacy analysis.

Interventions

Dose escalation:MAX-40279: 40 mg, 50 mg, and 60 mg twice daily (BID). Dose expantion: MAX-40279 RP2D. Venetoclax: 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, and 400 mg daily thereafter. Azacitidine: 75 mg/m2 days 1-7. 28 days are one cycle.

DRUGAzacitidine

Given by IV, 75 mg/m2

DRUGVenetoclax

100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, and 400 mg daily thereafter.
