About this trial

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of SNDX-5613 when given in combination with the standard chemotherapy treatment (daunorubicin and cytarabine) in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia that has changes in the NPM1 gene or MLL/KMT2A gene. SNDX-5613 blocks signals passed from one molecule to another inside cancer cells that are needed for cancer cell survival. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding SNDX-5613 to the standard chemotherapy treatment may be able to shrink or stabilize the cancer for longer than the standard chemotherapy treatment alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Dose escalation: Patients ages 18-75 years at time of diagnosis with NPM1-mutated/FLT3-ITD wildtype and NPM1-mutated/FLT3-TKD wildtype with high-risk features (adverse risk genetics per European LeukemiaNet [ELN] 2022 criteria, age ≥ 60 years, or secondary AML defined as either arising from a prior hematological malignancy or therapy-related), MLL (KMT2A) rearranged or NUP98 altered, untreated AML and who are candidates for intensive induction chemotherapy. Patients with CD33+ AML are eligible for this protocol.

Dose expansion: Patients ages 18-75 years at time of diagnosis with NPM1-mutated/FLT3-ITD wildtype and NPM1-mutated/FLT3-TKD wildtype (any patient-does not require high-risk features), MLL (KMT2A) rearranged, or NUP98 altered, untreated AML and who are candidates for intensive induction chemotherapy. Patients with CD33+ AML are eligible for this protocol

Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of SNDX-5613 in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%). Patients over the age of 65 must have an ECOG performance status of 0-1

Disqualifiers

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to SNDX-5613, daunorubicin or cytarabine

Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous

Patient must not have received known strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, or strong CYP3A4 inducers (with the exception of antifungal prophylaxis with azoles) within 7 days of enrollment. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because SNDX-5613 is a menin-KMT2A inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with SNDX-5613, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with SNDX-5613. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recommended dose for expansion (RDE) for Induction

Will be determined based on the totality of safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and pharmacokinetic (PK) data as appropriate. The tolerability of doses administered in cycles after the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observation window should be taken into account in determination of the RDE. For all patients who receive at least one dose of any of the study drug(s), adverse events will be documented and summarized by type, grade, severity, and attribution using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0 criteria. In addition, the number of treatment cycles received and reasons for going off treatment will be summarized to assess treatment tolerability.

Time frame
From day 1 to 42 of Induction or Re-Induction
2

RDE for Consolidation

Will be determined based on the totality of safety, tolerability, clinical activity, and PK data as appropriate. The tolerability of doses administered in cycles after the DLT observation window should be taken into account in determination of the RDE.For all patients who receive at least one dose of any of the study drug(s), adverse events will be documented and summarized by type, grade, severity, and attribution using the CTCAE v5.0 criteria. In addition, the number of treatment cycles received and reasons for going off treatment will be summarized to assess treatment tolerability.

Time frame
From day 1 to 42 of Consolidation or until full count recovery with recovery to grade 1 toxicity from treatment, whichever comes first
3

Recommended phase 2 dose for expansion cohort

RP2D of induction will be determined based on isotonic regression. Specifically, the RP2D that is selected is the dose for which the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate is closest to the targeted DLT (i.e., 20%) via "BOIN" software \[MD Anderson\]) and will also factor in data such as PK/pharmacodynamic data to determine the biologically effective dose. For all patients who receive at least one dose of any of the study drug(s), adverse events will be documented and summarized by type, grade, severity, and attribution using the CTCAE v5.0 criteria. In addition, the number of treatment cycles received and reasons for going off treatment will be summarized to assess treatment tolerability.

Time frame
From day 1 of Induction to day 42 of Consolidation or until full count recovery with recovery to grade 1 toxicity from treatment, whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes

1

Complete response/complete response with incomplete count recovery (CR/Cri) rate

Will be calculated by the number of patients achieving CR/CRi response out of the total number of patients treated on both the dose-escalation and expansion portions with 95% exact binomial confidence interval.

Time frame
At the end of cycle 1 of consolidation
2

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of revumenib (SNDX-5613)

The PK sampling is designed to enable estimation of individual PK parameters of SNDX-5613 and it's metabolite using standard noncompartmental methods. The primary analysis will compare SNDX-5613 exposure (area under the curve from zero to infinity) on day 2 (before strong antifungal agent administration starting on Day 4 after completion of anthracycline) and steady-state exposure (area under plasma concentration-time curve over dosing interval) on day 15 (after administration of antifungal agent).

Time frame
Cycle 1, day 2 at pre-treatment, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 hours (hr); Cycle 1 day 3 at 12 hr; cycle 1 day 15 at pre-treatment, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 hr

Other outcomes

1

Minimal residual disease (MRD) negative status

MRD negative status is defined as the following for each genomic subgroup: 1) NPM1mutated/FLT3 ITD and FLT3 TKD wildtype: negative NPM1 by polymerase chain reaction testing on bone marrow after cycle 1 of consolidation (or after induction if unable to receive consolidation) or 2) MLL (KMT2A) rearrangement: negative multi-parameter flow cytometry (flow cutoff 10\^-3) after induction chemotherapy. The number of patients with MRD negative status and the relationship to clinical response will be described at each time point of interest. Swimmer plots will be utilized to visually display how MRD status improves/changes over time.

Time frame
From day 1 to 42 of Induction, Re-Induction, and Consolidation
2

Duration of response

Swimmer plots will be utilized to visually display how response improves/changes over time.

Time frame
From the first date of CRi or CR until relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
3

Overall survival

Median survival will be estimated with 95% confidence interval using Kaplan-Meier method. Swimmer plots will be utilized to capture milestone events including relapse of disease and death for each patient within a given dose level.

Time frame
From the date on treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
4

Number of patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) out of the total number patients treated at each dose level
