About this trial

This is a Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation study in adolescents and adults with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. Patients will receive continuous oral MRX-2843 in 28 day cycles at predefined dose cohorts.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient is a male or female at least 12 years of age.

Patient must weigh at least 40 Kg.

Patient has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of AML as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (2017), ALL, or MPAL and is in second or later relapse or is refractory to at least one induction regimen.

The effects of MRX-2843 on developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to remain abstinent, or agree to practice double barrier forms of birth control in which 2 of the following precautions are used during the study and for 4 months after last dose of study drug(s): vasectomy, tubal ligation (or other transcervical sterilization procedures), vaginal diaphragm, intrauterine device, birth control pills, birth control implant, or condom or sponge with spermicide.

Disqualifiers

Patient has diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (or AML M3).

Patients with known active CNS leukemia.

Patient has any surgical or medical condition (active or chronic) that may interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study drug, or any other condition that may place the patient at risk.

Patient has a history of other malignancies that have required systemic treatment within the last 2 years or are deemed by the investigator to have a potential to interfere with the safety and efficacy assessment of MRX2843. Patients with treated nonmelanoma skin cancer, in situ carcinoma or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, regardless of the disease-free duration, are eligible for this study if definitive treatment for the condition has been completed.
