Trial Information

An Open-Label, Phase II (Proof Of Concept) Trial Of PKC412 Monotherapy In Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) And Patients With High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of PKC412 with or without
itraconazole in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic
syndromes.

- Determine the pharmacodynamic activity of PKC412 on functional FLT3 inhibition in the
cells of these patients.

Secondary

- Determine the pharmacokinetics and total blood concentration of PKC412 and its
metabolites in these patients.

- Determine the biological and preliminary antitumor activity of these regimens in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to FLT3
status (wild type vs mutated). Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

- Group I: Patients receive oral PKC412 twice daily on days 1-28.

- Group II: Patients receive PKC412 as in group I. Patients also receive oral
itraconazole twice daily on days 22-28.

In both groups, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients (12 per treatment group) will be accrued for this
study.
