Design Details

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Interventional Model Description: The study will start at lower doses (20 mg) and adopt an accelerated titration design for these cohorts. Once the safety of the 20 mg dose level is established, we will continue dose escalation using a classic 3+3 design to establish DLT, MTD, and RP2D, starting also with an accelerated step-up dosing schedule.
Masking: None (Open Label)


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Dose Escalation Phase<br>Phase 1a dose-escalation will begin with group 1 and proceed until DLT is observed and MTD is established, or until an RP2D is established. Subjects enrolled in the dose cohorts will follow the 3+3 study design, starting with an accelerated step-up dosing schedule (with a starting dose of 20 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg once daily) until they reach the designated target dose (50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg). Once the MTD or RP2D is established for group 1, the phase 1a dose escalation can proceed for group 2. The starting dose level for group 2 will be one dose level below the MTD or RP2D established for group 1. | Drug: LP-118<br>* novel, oral, selective treatment for hematological malignancies tested through ascending dose levels<br>|
| Experimental: Dose Expansion Phase<br>Additional subjects will be recruited to further explore the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy in specific subject subgroups. One or more RP2D may be explored. Definition of these cohorts will be accomplished by protocol amendment, and in light of emerging data from Phase 1a. | Drug: LP-118<br>* novel, oral, selective treatment for hematological malignancies tested through ascending dose levels<br>|
