Trial Information

A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Antitumor Activity of Continuous Intravenous Infusion of the Bispecific T-Cell Engager MEDI-538 In Adults With B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia(CLL)Who Have Residual Disease Following Previous Therapy for CLL


Phase 1:

- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of MEDI-538 at doses of 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60
mg/m2/24h by continuous IV infusion for 4 weeks in adult patients with CLL who have
measurable disease following previous therapy for CLL. Patients with measurable
disease include patients who demonstrated PD, SD, or PR following previous therapy for
CLL; and

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MEDI-538 administered by continuous IV
infusion for 4 weeks in this patient population;

- Describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MEDI-538

- Describe the immunogenicity (IM) of MEDI-538

- Determine the overall response, which is defined as follows: (1) conversion from PD/SD
to PR/nPR/CR or conversion from PR to nPR/CR using standard NCI-WG criteria; or (2)
conversion from MRD positivity to MRD negativity using 4-color flow cytometry; and

- Describe any antitumor activity (ie, time to response and duration of response) of
MEDI-538 in this patient population.

Phase 2:

- Determine the overall response in adult patients with CLL who have residual disease
following previous therapy for CLL.

- Describe the safety of MEDI-538

- Describe the PK of MEDI-538

- Describe the IM of MEDI-538

- Determine the time to MRD relapse

- Determine the antitumor activity (ie, time to response, duration of response, and time
to progression [TTP]) of MEDI-538 in this patient population.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Adult men or women at least 18 years of age;

- Written informed consent and Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) authorization (applies to covered entities in the USA only) obtained from the
patient prior to performing any study-related procedures, including screening visits;

- Previous confirmation of B-cell CLL with a characteristic immunophenotype by flow
cytometry;

- MRD positivity, determined by 4-color flow cytometry of bone marrow or peripheral
blood in all patients following previous therapy for CLL;

- Measurable and/or residual disease following previous therapy for CLL as follows:

1. Measurable disease, as determined by NCI-WG criteria, following standard
first-line or salvage therapy; this includes patients with PD, SD, or PR (Phase
1 only);

2. Residual disease as determined by measurable disease (ie, PD, SD, or PR) or by
MRD positivity, determined by 4-color flow cytometry of bone marrow and/or
peripheral blood in patients with CR or nPR (Phase 2 only);

- Time from completing last therapy for CLL is ≥ 3 months but ≤ 1 year;

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2;

- Presence of live-in companion (relative or friend) who agrees to NOT leave the
patient unattended for > 8 hours per day;

- Patient agrees to refrain from engaging in hazardous occupations or activities
requiring complete mental alertness such as operating machinery or driving a motor
vehicle;

- Females, unless surgically sterile or at least 1 year post-menopausal, must use an
effective method of avoiding pregnancy (including oral, transdermal, or implanted
contraceptives, intrauterine device, female condom with spermicide, diaphragm with
spermicide, cervical cap, abstinence, use of a condom with spermicide by the sexual
partner or sterile sexual partner) for 21 days prior to the first dose of MEDI-538,
and must agree to continue using such precautions through 3 months after the last
dose of MEDI-538. Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed
with a responsible physician. Males, unless surgically sterile, must likewise use an
effective method of birth control (condom with spermicide) and must agree to continue
using such precautions through 3 months after the last dose of MEDI-538;

- Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL and platelets > 75.0 x 109/L;

- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase
(ALT), amylase and lipase ≤ 2 x ULN;

- Serum creatinine ≤ 2 x ULN and creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min;

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.0 × 109/L; and

- For patients who have received previous treatment with alemtuzumab, CD4 counts must
be > 200 cells/μL with a negative status for cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Receipt of MEDI-538 in any previous clinical study;

- History of allergy or reaction to any component of the MEDI-538 formulation;

- History of malignancy other than CLL within 5 years prior to study entry, with the
exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
successfully treated with curative therapy;

- Fludarabine-refractory CLL, defined as failure to achieve a PR or CR/nPR to at least
one fludarabine-containing regimen, disease progression while on fludarabine
treatment, or disease progression in responders within 6 months of last dose of
fludarabine;

- Known or suspected CNS involvement;

- Clinical history of significant CNS pathology, eg, uncontrolled headaches, multiple
occurrences of confusion, dementia, multiple previous infarcts, or major brain
surgery;

- Active infection or known bacteremia. Patients with documented evidence of culture
positive sepsis or active infection requiring IV antibiotic therapy must complete a
full course of antibiotic treatment with no clinical or laboratory evidence of
bacterial infection at least 2 weeks prior to starting therapy with MEDI-538.

- Vaccination (either preventive or therapeutic for infectious disease or cancer)

hemolytic anemia;

- Any finding upon physical examination or history of any disease or behavior that, in
the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, may compromise the safety of the
