A Phase 1a/b Trial of Luxeptinib (CG-806) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Malignancies or Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Evaluation of New G3 Formulation

INTRODUCTION: Luxeptinib (CG-806; LUX) is an orally active noncovalent kinase inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), wild type and mutant forms of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) (including the internal tandem duplicates (ITD), tyrosine kinase domain (TKD), and F691L mutant forms), and...

Description
Summary:INTRODUCTION: Luxeptinib (CG-806; LUX) is an orally active noncovalent kinase inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), wild type and mutant forms of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) (including the internal tandem duplicates (ITD), tyrosine kinase domain (TKD), and F691L mutant forms), and growth receptors like KIT, CSF1R, PDGFRα, and TRKs. In prior studies, LUX has been shown to suppress aberrant proliferative signaling in B cell malignancies and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) via regulation of BTK, LYN, SYK, AKT, ERK, and MAPK. LUX is cytotoxic to primary AML cells insensitive to other FLT3 inhibitors and to malignant B-cells insensitive to ibrutinib, at pM and nM concentrations, respectively. AIMS: The primary objectives of these studies are to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of LUX and determine recommended phase 2 doses for relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML and B cell malignancy patients. METHODS: In two studies (NCT04477291; NCT03893682), LUX (original formulation, G1) was administered continuously as oral capsules BID in 28-day cycles of ascending cohorts (relapsed or refractory de novo, secondary, or therapy-related AML or higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and relapsed and refractory for B cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic/small lymphocytic leukemia). A novel generation 3 (G3) formulation of LUX designed to increase bioavailability was tested at a single-dose (sub-study) for relative bioavailability (RBA), followed by continuous dosing in subsequent R/R AML patients. RESULTS: In the B-cell study (as of 15 th May 2023), LUX has been administered to 36 patients at dose levels from 150 mg to 900 mg BID in patients with a median of 3 lines of prior treatment, with 47.2% having received a BTK-inhibitor. Only one (2.8%) patient had a DLT of hypertension and 14 (38.9%) experienced at least one drug related ≥Grade3 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE). Two patients (900 mg) are currently on study with no DLT and no ≥Grade 3 related TEAEs. A Follicular lymphoma patient is at cycle 28, and achieved a best response as partial response (PR) with a decrease in lesion size of 76.2%; an SLL patient is at cycle 13, and achieved stable disease (SD) showing a decrease in lesion size of 43.1% (Figure A). The overall best response achieved among the 17 patients who have been on treatment for more than 12 weeks are stable disease (SD) (n=11), partial response (PR) (n=3), minor response (n=2) and complete response (CR) (n=1).
