Patient case: 78-year-old female with sarcoma; genetic feature: MDM2

Clinical trial: Study of Orally Administered AG-221 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors, Including Glioma, and With Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma, With an IDH2 Mutation

Summary: The purpose of this Phase 1/2, multi-center study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of AG-221 in subjects with advanced solid tumors, including glioma, and with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), with an IDH2 mutation. The first portion of the study is a dose escalation phase where cohorts of patients will receive ascending oral doses of AG-221 to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose. The second portion of the study is a planned dose expansion phase where three cohorts of patients will receive AG-221 to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.


Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:

  -  Subjects must have ECOG PS of 0 to 2
  -  Adequate bone marrow function (subjects other than those with AITL) as evidenced by: absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 ×109/L;hemoglobin >9 g/dL (Subjects may be transfused red blood cells to this level.); platelets ≥50 × 109/L
  -  Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by: serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), unless considered due to Gilbert's disease, a gene mutation in UGT1A1, or disease involvement, following approval by the Medical Monitor; AST, ALT, ALP ≤2.5 × ULN, with the exception of subjects with bone metastases and/or suspected disease-related liver or biliary involvement, where ALP must be ≤5 × ULN
  -  Adequate renal function as evidenced by: serum creatinine ≤2.0 × ULN; OR creatinine clearance > 40 mL/min based on the Cockroft-Gault GFR estimation: (140 - Age) x (weight in kg) x (0.85 if female)/72 x serum creatinine
  -  Female subjects with reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the start of therapy. Women of childbearing potential as well as fertile men and their partners must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse or to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for 90 days (females and males) following the last dose of AG-221
  -  Previous allogeneic stem cell transplant is allowed only if subjects are >100 days from stem cell transplant and do not have uncontrolled acute or chronic graft-vs-host disease
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Received systemic anticancer therapy or radiotherapy <21 days prior to their first day of study drug administration
  -  Received an investigational agent <14 days prior to their first day of study drug administration. In addition, the first dose of AG-221 should not occur before a period ≥5 half-lives of the investigational agent has elapsed
  -  Subjects taking the following sensitive cytochrome P450 (CYP) substrate medications that have a narrow therapeutic range are excluded from the study unless they can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling: paclitaxel (CYP2C8), warfarin, phenytoin (CYP2C9), S-mephenytoin (CYP2C19), thioridazine (CYP2D6), theophylline and tizanidine (CYP1A2)
  -  Subjects taking the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) transporter-sensitive substrates digoxin and rosuvastatin should be excluded from the study, unless they can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling. study unless they can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling
  -  Subjects for whom potentially curative anticancer therapy is available
  -  Pregnant or breastfeeding
  -  Active severe infection that required anti-infective therapy or with an unexplained fever >38.5°C during screening visits or on their first day of study drug administration (at the discretion of the Investigator, subjects with tumor fever may be enrolled)
  -  Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of AG-221
  -  Subjects with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure or LVEF <40% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan within approximately 28 days of C1D1
  -  History of myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
  -  Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg) are excluded. Subjects requiring 2 or more medications to control hypertension are eligible with Medical Monitor approval.
  -  Known unstable or uncontrolled angina pectoris
  -  Known history of severe and/or uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
  -  Heart-rate corrected QT (QTc) interval >450 msec or with other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome). Subjects with right bundle branch block and a prolonged QTc interval should be reviewed by the Medical Monitor for potential inclusion
  -  Subjects taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval
  -  Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active hepatitis B or C
  -  Any other medical or psychological condition, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate, or participate in the study
  -  Known dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other conditions that limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally
  -  Subjects with brain metastases that are untreated, symptomatic, or require therapy to control symptoms; or any radiation, surgery, or other therapy, including to control symptoms, within 2 months of first dose. Subjects with glioma who are on a stable, steroid-dosing regimen prior to screening MRI may be permitted to enroll with Medical Monitor approval
  -  In subjects with AITL, evidence of meningeal or cerebral disease or a history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
  -  Radiotherapy involving <25% of the hematopoietically active bone marrow within 21 days preceding first dose of study treatment
  -  Radiotherapy involving ≥25% of the hematopoietically active bone marrow within 42 days preceding first dose of study treatment
