About this trial

Study BH-30236-01 is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in participants with relapsed/refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (R/R AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS).

Phase 1, Part 1 Dose Escalation - Monotherapy will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of BH-30236 administered orally. Approximately 50 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1, Part 1 Dose Escalation - Monotherapy.

Phase 1, Part 2 Dose Escalation - Combination with Venetoclax will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of BH-30236 administered as a combination therapy with venetoclax. Approximately 48 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1, Part 2 Dose Escalation - Combination with Venetoclax.

Phase 1b (Dose Expansion) will follow Phase 1 to further understand the relationships among dose, exposure, toxicity, tolerability, and clinical activity. Up to 72 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1b of the study as a monotherapy or in combination with venetoclax.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Dose Escalation: Frequency of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

DLTs are dose-limiting toxicities as defined in the study protocol.

Time frame
Dose-limiting toxicities are collected during the first treatment cycle (28 days)
2

Dose Escalation and Expansion: Safety evaluation of BH-30236: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

Frequency, severity and relationship to study drug of AEs and SAEs

Time frame
From first dose until 28 days after last dose of BH-30236
3

Dose Expansion: Composite Complete Remission (CR) Rate

Composite CR rate disease assessment in accordance with the following guidelines: European Leukemia Network (ELN) 2022 for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and International Working Group (IWG) 2023 for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Time frame
From first dose of BH-30236 until disease progression (up to approximately 1 year)

Secondary outcomes

1

Dose Escalation and Expansion: Maximum observed blood concentration (Cmax) of BH-30236.

Blood samples for PK analyses will be collected at predetermined time points and analyzed.

Time frame
Evaluation performed in Cycle 1 (cycle duration is 28 days).
2

Dose Escalation: Area under the blood concentration time curve (AUC) of BH-30236.

Blood samples for PK analyses will be collected at predetermined time points and analyzed.

Time frame
Evaluation performed in Cycle 1 (cycle duration is 28 days).
3

Dose Escalation and Expansion: Concentration before dose at steady state (Ctrough).

Blood samples for PK analyses will be collected at predetermined time points and analyzed.

Time frame
Evaluation performed in all treatment cycles up to one year (cycle duration is 28 days).
4

Dose Escalation and Expansion: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Objective response rate disease assessments in accordance with the following guidelines: ELN 2022 recommendations for AML and IWG 2023 for MDS (CR, CR with partial hematologic recovery \[CRh\], CR with incomplete count recovery \[CRi\], CR with limited count recovery \[CRL\], morphologic leukemia-free state \[MLFS\], or partial response \[PR\]).

Time frame
From first dose of BH-30236 until disease progression (up to approximately 1 year)
