Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese Patent Application No. 202180040679.5 (PCT / US2021 / 026141), with a filing date of April 7, 2021, and an invention title of "Combinations of MENIN Inhibitors and CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Methods of Use Thereof".

[0002] Cross - reference to related applications

[0003] This application claims the priority and benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 006,574, filed on April 7, 2020, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Field of the invention

[0004] The present invention relates to inhibitors of the interaction of menin with MLL and MLL fusion proteins, in combination with one or more CYP3A4 inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and their use in the treatment of cancers and other diseases mediated by the menin - MLL interaction. Background of the invention

[0006] The mixed - lineage leukemia (MLL) protein is a histone methyltransferase that is mutated in subsets of the clinical and biological features of acute leukemia. Rearranged mixed - lineage leukemia (MLL - r) involves recurrent translocations at the chromosomal locus 11q23, leading to aggressive forms of acute leukemia with limited treatment options. These translocations target the MLL gene, generating oncogenic fusion proteins that contain the amino - terminus of MLL fused in - frame with over 60 different fusion - protein partners. Menin is a widely expressed nuclear protein encoded by the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) tumor - suppressor gene, has a high - affinity binding interaction with MLL fusion proteins, and is an important co - factor for oncogenic MLL - r fusion proteins (Yokoyama et al., 2005, Cell, 123:207 - 18; Cierpicki & Grembecka, 2014, Future Med. Chem., 6:447 - 462). Disruption of this interaction results in selective growth inhibition and apoptosis of MLL - r leukemia cells in vitro (Grembecka et al., 2012, Nat. Chem. Biol., 8:277 - 284) and in vivo (Yokoyama et al., 2005, op. cit.; Borkin et al., 2015, Cancer Cell, 27:589 - 602).

[0007] The Menin-MLL complex plays a role in castration-resistant / advanced prostate cancer, and menin-MLL inhibitors have been shown to reduce tumor growth in vivo (Malik et al., 2015, Nat. Med., 21:344-352). In addition, menin-MLL inhibitors have been shown to enhance human β-cell proliferation (Chamberlain et al., 2014, J. Clin. Invest., 124:4093-4101), supporting the role of inhibitors of the menin-MLL interaction in the treatment of diabetes (Yang et al., 2010, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A., 107:20358-20363). The interaction between menin and MLL or MLL fusion proteins is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention, and novel combination therapies that inhibit the menin-MLL interaction are needed for the treatment of various diseases and conditions, including leukemia, other cancers, and diabetes.

[0049] As used herein, the term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" means a sufficient amount of an agent or compound that is administered to alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms of a disease or condition being treated. The result can be a reduction and / or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an "effective amount" for therapeutic use is an amount of a composition comprising a compound disclosed herein that is required to provide a clinically significant reduction of a disease symptom without undue adverse side effects. The appropriate "effective amount" in any individual case can be determined using techniques such as dose escalation studies. The term "therapeutically effective amount" includes, for example, a prophylactically effective amount. An "effective amount" of a compound disclosed herein means an amount that effectively achieves the intended pharmacological effect or therapeutic improvement and the effect is without adverse side effects. It is understood that the "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" varies between subjects due to the metabolism of the menin inhibitor, the age, weight, general condition of the subject, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. By way of example only, a therapeutically effective amount can be determined by conventional experimentation, including but not limited to dose escalation clinical trials.

[0050] The term "enhanced" or "enhancement" means an increase or prolongation in the potency or duration of an intended effect. For example, "enhancing" the effect of a therapeutic agent means the ability to increase or prolong the potency or duration of the therapeutic agent during the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition. As used herein, an "enhancing effective amount" means an amount sufficient to enhance the effect of a therapeutic agent in the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition. When used in a patient, the amount effective for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, previous treatment, the patient's health status and response to the drug, and the judgment of the treating physician. The terms "subject", "patient", and "individual" are used interchangeably. As used herein, they refer to an animal. By way of example only, a subject can be, but is not limited to, a mammal, including but not limited to a human. These terms do not require the supervision (either continuous or intermittent) of a medical professional.

[0051] As used herein, the terms "treat", "treating", or "treatment" include alleviating, reducing, or relieving the symptoms of a disease or condition, preventing additional symptoms, alleviating or preventing the underlying metabolic causes of the symptoms, inhibiting the disease or condition, e.g., arresting the development of the disease or condition, ameliorating the disease or condition, causing regression of the disease or condition, alleviating the condition caused by the disease or condition, or stopping the symptoms of the disease or condition. The terms "treat", "treating", or "treatment" include, but are not limited to, prophylactic and / or therapeutic management.

[0052] As used herein, IC50 refers to the amount, concentration, or dose of a particular test compound that achieves 50% inhibition (e.g., inhibition of menin) of the maximal response in an assay measuring said response.

[0053] As used herein, EC50 refers to the amount, concentration, or dose of a particular test compound that elicits a dose-dependent response at 50% of the maximal expression of a particular response induced, elicited, or enhanced by the particular test compound.

[0098] Leukemia

[0099] In certain embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating leukemia in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering a menin inhibitor or a CYP3A4 inhibitor. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating leukemia in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering a menin inhibitor and administering a CYP3A4 inhibitor.

[0100] Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase in blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes). Leukemia is a broad term encompassing a variety of diseases. The first is the acute and chronic forms: (i) Acute leukemia is characterized by a rapid increase in immature blood cells. This crowding prevents the bone marrow from producing healthy blood cells. Acute leukemia requires immediate treatment because of the rapid development and accumulation of malignant cells, which then spill into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body. The acute form of leukemia is the most common form of leukemia in children; (ii) Chronic leukemia is distinguished by the excessive accumulation of relatively mature but still abnormal white blood cells. It usually takes months or years to progress, and these cells are produced at a much higher rate than normal cells, resulting in many abnormal white blood cells in the blood. Chronic leukemia mainly occurs in the elderly, but can theoretically occur in any age group. In addition, the disease is subdivided according to the type of blood cell affected. This division classifies leukemia into lymphoblastic or lymphocytic leukemia and myeloid or myelogenous leukemia: (i) Lymphoblastic or lymphocytic leukemia, where the cancerous change occurs in a type of bone marrow cell that normally forms lymphocytes, which are immune system cells that fight infection; (ii) Myeloid or myelogenous leukemia, where the cancerous change occurs in a type of bone marrow cell that normally forms red blood cells, some other types of white blood cells, and platelets.

[0101] Within these main categories, there are several subcategories, including but not limited to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and hairy cell leukemia (HCL).

[0102] The symptoms, diagnostic tests, and prognostic tests for each of the above conditions are known. See, for example, Harrison's Principles of Internal "16th Edition, 2004, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Dey et al. (2006), Cytojournal 3(24), and the "Revised European American Lymphoma" (REAL) classification system (see, e.g., the website maintained by the National Cancer Institute).

[0103] A number of animal models can be used to establish a range of therapeutically effective doses of inhibitor compounds, such as menin inhibitors, for treating any of the foregoing diseases.

[0104] During treatment, the therapeutic efficacy of a menin inhibitor against any of the foregoing diseases can be optimized. For example, a subject being treated can undergo diagnostic evaluations to correlate remission of disease symptoms or pathology with inhibition of in vivo menin activity achieved by administering a given dose of the menin inhibitor. Cellular assays known in the art can be used to determine in vivo activity. Accordingly, the amount of the menin inhibitor compound administered to the subject can be increased or decreased as needed to maintain an optimal level of menin inhibition for treating the subject's disease state.

[0105] In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are used in the preparation of a medicament for treating any of the foregoing conditions. In some embodiments, the combination of the present invention relates to the treatment of leukemia. In some embodiments, the present invention relates to treating leukemia in a patient in need thereof, including administering a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor. In some further embodiments, the present invention relates to treating leukemia in a patient in need thereof, including administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a menin inhibitor and a pharmaceutical composition comprising a CYP3A4 inhibitor. In some further embodiments, the present invention relates to treating leukemia in a patient in need thereof, including administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a menin inhibitor of formula I and a pharmaceutical composition comprising an azole antifungal CYP3A4 inhibitor.

[0106] Acute leukemia is usually caused by acquired mutations in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Chromosomal abnormalities are often discrete mutational features of leukemia. Many of these chromosomal abnormalities are due to specific translocations that result in the formation of fusion genes, which become drivers of tumorigenesis and tumor development. A specific example involves the MLL1 gene. Translocations of the MLL1 locus (11q23) can lead to the formation of oncogenic fusions characteristic of MLLr acute leukemia. The MLL1 protein is a key regulator of development and is the mammalian homolog of the Drosophila trithorax. It is an important epigenetic regulator of HOX gene expression. Translocations of the MLL1 locus generate chimeric proteins that fuse the N-terminus of MLL1 to variable C-terminal domains from different translocation partners. More than 90 different fusion partners are currently known. Expression of these fusions enables an aberrant transcriptional program characterized by overexpression of HOX and other developmental genes. This transcriptional program inhibits differentiation and enhances proliferation, leading to MLLr acute leukemia. Conventional diagnosis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) involves translocations of the MLL1 locus (11q23). Depending on the progenitor cell of origin, MLLr can present as ALL, AML, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). These translocations are rare, with an overall annual incidence of ~4,000 cases in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Approximately 10% of all leukemias have an MLL1 translocation.

[0107] This combination can also be used to treat leukemia patients with MLL / KMT2A gene rearrangements.

[0108] Patients with MLLr have a high risk of relapse after conventional chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, with an overall 5-year survival rate of only about 35%. There is currently no specific targeted therapy for MLLr leukemia. The combination of a menin inhibitor of Formula I or Formula II with a CYP3A4 inhibitor can provide a new targeted therapy for MLLr acute leukemia.

[0109] Treatment of relapsed or refractory MLLr acute leukemia

[0110] The interaction between the MLL1 fusion protein and menin is a key driver of MLLr acute leukemia. Both MLL1 and MLLr fusions bind to a well-characterized high-affinity site on the chromatin-associated protein menin. Binding of the MLL1 fusion to menin is mediated by amino acid residues 9 - 13 (FPARP) at the N-terminus of MLL1. Binding to menin localizes these fusions to chromatin, thereby initiating a leukemic transcriptional program, including upregulation of the HOXA locus and the MEIS1 gene. The interaction between the fusion protein and menin is required to maintain this transcriptional program.

[0111] Menin inhibitors of formula I or formula II bind to the MLL1 binding pocket on menin with high affinity and show activity in a range of cells containing MLLr fusions. Menin inhibitors of formula I or formula II disrupt the interaction between menin and the MLL1 fusion proteins required for leukemic activity, thereby impairing the expression of key oncogenes, resulting in growth arrest and inhibition of cell proliferation. Small molecule inhibitors of the menin-MLL interaction have been reported. These inhibitors have shown antiproliferative activity against MLLr cell lines and have shown single-dose survival benefits in MLLr leukemia mouse models.

[0112] Similarly, combining a menin inhibitor of formula I or formula II with a CYP3A4 inhibitor increases efficacy, shows potent activity in multiple leukemia xenograft models, and provides profound survival benefits after oral administration in non-clinical models. Collectively, these data suggest that pharmacological inhibition of the menin-MLL interaction is a potential targeted strategy for the treatment of MLLr acute leukemia.

[0113] NPM1c AML

[0114] AML is an acute leukemia characterized by the accumulation of myeloid cells in the bone marrow due to impaired differentiation and proliferation. NPM1 is one of the most commonly mutated genes in AML. Point mutations in the NPM1 gene result in abnormal cytoplasmic localization of the mutant protein, called NPM1c. The identification of NPM1c is an important part of the diagnostic screening for AML. Only AML patients with a mutated NPM1 have a good prognosis, with a five-year overall survival (OS) of ~60%. However, most (>80%) NPM1c AML patients have multiple concurrent mutations, which may have an adverse impact on prognosis. Co-mutations have been found in the FLT3, DNMT3A, NRAS, TET2, and IDH1 / 2 genes. NPM1c is not usually seen in ALL.

[0115] The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be ~21,450 new cases of AML in the United States in 2019. In adult AML, ~30% of patients have NPM1c. Given that cells carrying NPM1c have been found to be highly sensitive to menin-MLL interaction inhibitors, combining a menin inhibitor of formula I or formula II with a CYP3A4 inhibitor could provide a new targeted therapy for NPM1c AML.

[0116] Treatment of NPM1c AML patients

[0117] NPM1 normally exists between the nucleus and cytoplasm as a nucleolar protein. It has multiple functions, including the assembly and transport of ribosomal proteins, the control of centrosome replication, and the regulation of the tumor suppressor ARF. The cytoplasmic localization of the mutant NPM1c results in the abnormal distribution of NPM1c-associated nuclear proteins into the cytoplasm, including several transcription factors. These include PU.1, a major driver of monocyte lineage differentiation. The loss of PU.1 from the nucleus in NPM1c AML leads to the repression of >500 terminal differentiation genes. The inhibition of differentiation by NPM1c enables the leukemic transcriptional program to be highly dependent on the upregulated expression of the HOXA cluster and MEIS1 genes. The expression of these genes further blocks differentiation and induces long-term proliferation, resulting in the leukemic phenotype.

[0118] In addition, the HOX / MEIS signature of NPM1c AML overlaps with that of MLLr leukemia and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The maintenance of this transcriptional signature in NPM1c cells directly depends on the menin-MLL1 interaction.

[0119] Although little is known about how mutant NPM1c cells maintain abnormal gene expression, mutations in the menin-binding motif of MLL1 have been shown to strongly inhibit the proliferative capacity of NPM1c due to the loss of binding of MLL1 to menin. In addition, the small molecule menin-MLL interaction inhibitor MI-503 has been shown to inhibit the HOXA / MEIS1 transcriptional program in NPM1c cells, leading to growth arrest, terminal differentiation, and cell death, confirming the crucial role of the menin-MLL1 interaction in NPM1c. These findings were validated and extended in another report, which demonstrated that the orally active menin inhibitor KO-539 has potent anti-leukemic activity in an NPM1c mutant AML patient-derived xenograft model. Collectively, these results suggest that cells carrying NPM1c are highly sensitive to menin-MLL interaction inhibitors.

In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein are for therapeutic use. In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein are administered as a maintenance therapy, e.g., for patients in remission.

[0198] In the event that the patient's condition does not improve, the compound can be administered continuously; alternatively, the dose of the administered drug can be increased over a period of time. The increase in the length of the drug administration can vary between 2 days and 1 year, by way of example only, including 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, or 365 days.

[0199] If the patient's condition does not improve, the dose or frequency of administration, or both, can be increased according to the symptoms to a level that improves the disease, disorder, or condition.

[0200] If the patient's condition does improve, the dosage of the administered drug can be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a period of time (i.e., a "drug holiday"). The length of the drug holiday can vary between 2 days and 1 year and, by way of example only, includes 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, or 365 days.

[0201] Once the patient's condition improves, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, can be adjusted according to symptoms to maintain the improved level of the disease, disorder, or condition. However, once the symptoms recur, the patient may require long-term intermittent treatment.

[0202] The amount of a given reagent corresponding to this quantity will vary depending on factors such as the specific compound, the severity of the disease, the identity of the subject or host to be treated (e.g., body weight), etc., but can still be routinely determined in a manner known in the art according to the specific circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the specific reagent administered, the route of administration, and the subject or host being treated. However, generally speaking, the dosage for adult treatment is usually 0.02 - 5000 mg / day, or approximately 1 - 1500 mg / day. The required dosage can be conveniently administered as a single dose or divided doses simultaneously (or within a short period of time) or at appropriate intervals (e.g., twice, three times, four times, or more sub-doses per day).

[0203] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be unit dosage forms suitable for single administration in precise dosages. In a unit dosage form, the preparation is divided into unit doses containing an appropriate amount of one or more compounds. The unit dosage form can be a packaged form containing discrete amounts of the preparation. Non-limiting examples are packaged tablets or capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Aqueous suspension compositions can be packaged in single-dose non-resealable containers.

[0204] Alternatively, multi-dose resealable containers can be used, in which case a preservative is usually included in the composition. By way of example only, preparations for parenteral injection can be presented in unit dosage form, including but not limited to ampoules or multi-dose containers, with a preservative added.

[0205] The above ranges are merely illustrative because the number of variables related to an individual treatment regimen is large, and significant deviations from these recommended values are not uncommon. Such dosage can be varied according to a variety of variables, including but not limited to the activity of the compound used, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject, the severity of the disease or condition to be treated, and the judgment of the physician.

[0206] The toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such treatment regimens can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, including but not limited to LD 50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and ED 50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxicity and therapeutic effect is the therapeutic index, which can be expressed as the ratio between LD 50 and ED 50 . Compounds showing a high therapeutic index are preferred. Data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used to formulate a range of doses for use in humans. The doses of such compounds are preferably within the range of circulating concentrations, including the ED 50 with the least toxicity. The dose can vary within this range depending on the dosage form used and the route of administration employed.

[0207] In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a menin suppressor are administered in parallel. In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered simultaneously, substantially simultaneously, or within the same treatment regimen. In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered sequentially.

[0208] In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered in parallel. In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered simultaneously, substantially simultaneously, or within the same treatment regimen. In some embodiments, a menin inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor are administered sequentially.

[0232] · Cohort 2C: NPM1c AML patients.

[0233] Each cohort used a Simon 2-stage design with up to 34 patients per cohort. Enrollment for each expansion cohort was conducted independently. For patients with R / R acute leukemia carrying NPM1c or MLL gene rearrangements and with no available treatment options, a CR+CRh rate > 15% was considered the lower limit of anti-leukemic activity.

[0234] The anti-tumor activity of the menin inhibitor was evaluated in genetically defined cohorts. These patient subsets had leukemias expressing the targets against which the menin inhibitor was expected to be most effective.

[0235] Doses were based on data generated from 28-day GLP toxicology studies in rats and dogs. The starting dose was set at the human equivalent dose of the lower of 1 / 10 of the rat STD10 or 1 / 6 of the dog HNSTD. The dog HNSTD (50 mg / kg; 1000 mg / m 2 ) was lower than the rat STD10 (400 mg / kg; 2400 mg / m 2 ); thus, the clinical starting dose for dogs was 1 / 6 HNSTD or 166.7 mg / m 2 , equivalent to 4.5 mg / kg in adults. A total daily dose of 225 mg of the menin inhibitor was selected as the starting dose, rounded to the nearest capsule size, which was 226 mg / day. The dose was administered as 113 mg PO q12h.

[0236] The safety, tolerability, MTD, and RP2D of the menin inhibitor and combination therapy were determined in patients with R / R acute leukemia in Groups A and B, respectively. The PK parameters of the menin inhibitor and combination therapy were determined in Groups A and B, respectively. The short-term and long-term safety and tolerability of the menin inhibitor and combination therapy were determined. The CR rate (CR+CRh) was determined.

[0247] Group A: Patients must not receive any strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor / inducer. Patients receiving strong CYP3A4 inhibitor / inducer must discontinue the medication at least 7 days before enrollment.

[0248] Group B: Patients must receive itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole or voriconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitors) for antifungal prophylaxis for at least 7 days before enrollment, while receiving treatment with menin inhibitors. Patients must not receive any other strong CYP3A4 inhibitor / inducer.

[0250] Group 2B: Recorded R / R AML with MLLr translocation.

[0251] Group 2C: Recorded R / R AML with NPM1c.

[0252] Central confirmation of MLLr status was obtained by fluorescence in situ hybridization (11q23 MLL break-apart FISH) testing (Cancer Genetics Inc., Rutherford, NJ). Central confirmation of NPM1 mutation status was obtained by NPM1 (nucleophosmin) gene analysis, exon 12 variant (CPT 81310) (Cancer Genetics Inc., Rutherford, NJ). Patients with unconfirmed mutation status were replaced.

[0262] Steroids : At least 7 days since systemic glucocorticoid therapy, unless receiving physiological dosing (equivalent to ≤ 10 mg prednisone per day) or cytoreduction therapy. Cytoreduction therapy must be approved by the medical monitor.

[0263] Menin inhibitor administration

[0264] Based on the patient cohort assignment, take menin inhibitor capsules (113 mg and 156 mg free base equivalents) at the specified dose q12h for PO administration. The menin inhibitor is administered on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after a meal and 1 hour before the next meal.

[0265] All patients receive the menin inhibitor PO q12h over a 28-day cycle, with the first study drug dose administered on C1D1. Alternative dosing regimens may be made according to the dosing schedule above. Patients continue dosing until PD or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

[0266] Dose assignment: Phase 1

[0267] The starting dose of the menin inhibitor is 113 mg q12h (226 mg total daily dose). The dosing of the menin inhibitor increases with the CYP3A4 dose.

[0268] The doses for Groups A and B that meet the following criteria are determined independently:

[0269] · ≤ 1 / 6 of the DLT evaluable patients experience DLT.

[0270] · At least two-thirds of the patients receive at least 80% of their prescribed dose in C1 and C2, unless due to PD.

[0271] · At least 3 patients are evaluable for PK.

[0272] · The area under the plasma concentration curve value (AUC0-24) of at least two-thirds of the patients is ≥ 15,000 ng hr / mL from 0 to 24 hours.

[0273] - If the MTD does not reach this exposure level but efficacy is seen at any dose level, the highest dose level that meets the above safety and tolerability criteria will be selected as the RP2D

[0274] If the highest tested dose does not meet all 4 RP2D criteria, the next lower dose level will be expanded to a total of 6 patients. The expansion of the lower dose levels will continue in a sequential manner until a dose that meets the RP2D criteria is determined. In addition, observations related to PK and any cumulative toxicity observed after multiple cycles may be included in the rationale supporting the RP2D.

[0275] If a 100% CR rate is observed at the end of Cycle 1 and the dose level is safe and tolerable within the 3 + 3 dose escalation period, that dose will be defined as the RP2D.

[0283] Pharmacokinetics

[0284] Blood samples of approximately 5 mL each will be collected to measure the plasma concentration of the menin inhibitor. Up to 24 additional samples may be collected at other time points during the study.

[0285] Blood samples for PK were collected at C1D1, C1D8, C3D1 and C5D1 before dosing (within 1 hour before dosing) and at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 hour (±5 minutes), 2 and 4 hours (±15 minutes), and 8 hours (±30 minutes) after dosing, and centrifuged to prepare plasma. For Group B only, PK samples should also be collected at C1D3 or 4 before dosing (within 1 hour before dosing). On the PK sample collection day, the menin inhibitor was taken at the research center under the observation of the research center staff.

[0286] Statistical considerations

[0287] Statistical hypotheses

[0288] This study adopted the Simon minimax 2-stage design. It was assumed that the true CR+CRh rate was 35%. In patients with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, a CR+CRh rate >15% was considered the lower limit of anti-leukemia activity.

[0289] Twenty-one patients were enrolled in each cohort. If 4 or more patients in a single cohort responded, then an additional 13 patients would be enrolled in that cohort. If 10 or more CR+CRh patients were observed among the 34 patients in the cohort, then the treatment was worthy of further evaluation.

[0290] Sample size determination

[0291] The actual number of patients enrolled in the first stage depended on the dose level at which toxicity occurred and the number of dose levels investigated to determine the MTD and RP2D. It was expected that up to 54 patients would be enrolled in the first stage, up to 30 patients in Group A, and up to 24 patients in Group B. No formal sample size calculation was performed in the first stage of the study.

[0292] The number of patients in each cohort evaluated in each stage and the minimum number of responders required to proceed to the next stage were determined based on the minimax version of Simon's 2-stage design, with 80% power and a one-sided significance level of 2.5%. Up to 34 patients were enrolled in each cohort. It was assumed that the true CR+CRh rate was 35%. A CR+CRh rate greater than 15% was considered the lower threshold of anti-leukemia activity. According to the design elements defined above, in the first stage, up to 21 patients would be enrolled in each cohort: if 4 or more patients achieved CR+CRh, then 13 patients would be enrolled in the second stage. Otherwise, enrollment in that cohort would be terminated. After completion of the second stage, if 10 or more patients among the 34 enrolled patients in the cohort achieved CR+CRh, then this patient population could be further evaluated. If the true CR+CRh rate of the leukemia subtype was 15% or lower, the probability of terminating enrollment at the end of the first stage was 61%.

[0293] Therefore, it is anticipated that up to 156 patients will be enrolled in this study and treated with a combination of a menin inhibitor of Formula I or Formula II and a CYP3A4 inhibitor.
