APG-2575 Study of Safety, Tolerability ,PK/PD in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a multi-center, single-agent, open-label, Phase I study of APG-2575. The study consists of the dose escalation stage and the dose expansion stage.

Detailed Description
-----------------
APG-2575 will be administered orally, once daily for consecutive 4 weeks as one cycles. Initially, the start dose is 20mg. Single patient cohorts will be evaluated, the dose of APG-2575 will be increased in subsequent cohorts, to 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, 600mg and 800mg accordingly. If there is any one of the following event is observed, a DLT, two drug related Grade 2 toxicities or one drug related ≥ Grade 3 toxicity, or laboratory or clinical TLS, or suspected hypersensitivity reaction occur in Cycle 1, or dose level of 400 mg is reached, the dose escalation will convert to the standard 3+3 design, If ≥ 2/6 patients develop DLT at any dose level dose escalation will cease and the dose level immediately below will be expanded to 6 patients. If ≤ 1/6 patients develop a DLT at the highest dose reached this will be declared the MTD. After the MTD is defined, a maximum of 20 patients will be treated at that dose level.

Continuance of toxicities due to prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy agents that do not recover to ≤ Grade 1 except alopecia or neuropathy. Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent, 14 days for small molecular agents and/or 28 days for biologics treatment prior to the first dose of therapy. Failure to recover adequately, as judged by the investigator, from prior surgical procedures. Patients with active wound healing, patients who have had major surgery within 28 days from study entry, and patients who have had minor surgery within 14 days of study entry.
