Conditions: Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 11
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The investigators hypothesize that flotetuzumab for relapsed AML following allo-HCT will be safe, tolerable and may facilitate preferential immune effector cell retargeting of leukemic cells resulting in improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, administration of a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) (if available) in combination with flotetuzumab will be safe, tolerable and may provide additional therapeutic efficacy.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: * Will start on cycle 1 day 1 on the dose escalation ramp schedule of flotetuzumab as a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion. Patients will be initiated at 30 ng/kg/day and have their dose increased daily to a target goal of 500 ng/kg/day by day 7
* Patients will continue on flotetuzumab at 500 ng/kg/day for the remaining 21 days of the 28 day cycle.
* On cycle 1 day 28, patients will undergo bone marrow biopsy for assessment of disease status. Patients who have achieved a CR/CRi will proceed to a second cycle per protocol, while patients with a PR or SD or better may proceed to cycle 2 with permission of the investigator. Patients with available donor lymphocytes may receive DLI concurrently with flotetuzumab during Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 2.

Interventions: intervention 1: Flotetuzumab intervention 2: Donor lymphocyte infusion
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Will be provided by MacroGenics Inc. intervention 2: DLI represents a non-specific form of adoptive cell therapy which involves infusion of a pool of allogeneic immune cells, including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, regulatory T cells (T Regs), natural killer (NK) cells and professional antigen presenting cells.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
 
Title: 
A Phase 2 Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of flotetuzumab for 
Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic 
Syndrome (MDS) Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell 
Transplantation (allo-HCT) 
Study Description: 
We hypothesize that flotetuzumab for relapsed AML and MDS 
following allo-HCT will be safe, tolerable and may facilitate 
preferential immune effector cell retargeting of leukemic cells 
resulting 
in 
improved

outcomes. 
 
Furthermore, 
administration of a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) (if available) 
in combination with flotetuzumab will be safe, tolerable and may 
provide additional therapeutic efficacy.  
Objectives: 
Primary Objectives:  
• To evaluate the efficacy of flotetuzumab in post-allo-HCT 
relapsed AML and MDS following Cycle 1 of flotetuzumab 
(Cycle 1 Day 28 assessment). 
 
Secondary Objectives: 
• To evaluate the efficacy of flotetuzumab monotherapy in 
post-allo-HCT relapsed AML and MDS following Cycle 2  
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of flotetuzumab +/- 
DLI in the post-allo-HCT setting.  
Endpoints: 
Primary Endpoint(s):  
Efficacy assessed via composite endpoint of CR and CRi (Cycle 1 
Day 28 assessment)

INTRODUCTION 
 
1.1 
Background 
 
1.1.1 AML and the Current Treatment Paradigm 
 
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic neoplasm characterized by the 
presence of malignant, clonal cells which typically harbor recurrent chromosomal 
and genetic abnormalities. AML is projected to account for >21,000 new cases and 
~11,000 deaths in the United States in 2019 (1). Clinically, AML often presents 
with signs/symptoms related to bone marrow dysfunction that can include 
leukopenia/leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia; as well as complications 
from these hematologic abnormalities. The treatment paradigm for AML includes 
induction chemotherapy, aimed at achieving a remission, followed by consolidation 
treatment with either high dose chemotherapy or allogeneic hematopoietic cell 
transplantation (allo-HCT). For those undergoing allo-HCT, 30-50% of patients 
achieve long-term, disease-free survival at 5 years (2). Meanwhile, post-HCT 
relapse occurs in ~40% of patients (2) and remains the leading cause of post-HCT 
mortality, with a median survival of 2-4 months without therapy (3). Standard 
therapy for post-HCT relapse is reinfusion of donor cells (donor lymphocyte 
infusion, 
DLI), 
sometimes 
preceded 
by 
debulking 
chemotherapy 
or 
hypomethylating agents, and second allo-HCT in select individuals.  Unfortunately, 
many relapsing patients are not candidates for intensive therapy, and those who do 
undergo further therapy have transient responses at best (3, 4). Therefore, additional 
novel therapies are needed to improve post-HCT relapse outcomes while reducing 
the associated toxicity.  
 
1.1.2 Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (DLI) 
 
DLI represents a non-specific form of adoptive cell therapy which involves infusion 
of a pool of allogeneic immune cells, including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, 
regulatory T cells (T Regs), natural killer (NK) cells and professional antigen 
presenting cells. The DLI is believed to work in part through the graft-versus-
leukemia (GvL) effect of allo-HCT, in which donor immune cells control leukemic 
blasts through both direct cellular cytotoxicity and secretion of inflammatory 
cytokines such as interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Cytokine release in the tumor 
microenvironment likely plays a role in promoting tumor antigen expression by 
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I/II, as well as through direct 
toxicity to leukemia cells.  However, while these mechanisms can mediate potent 
anti-tumor effects, they are not inherently tumor specific, as evidenced by 60-70% 
rates of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following DLI (5). 
Meanwhile response rates following DLI alone for relapsed AML post-HCT are 
15-40% (6-9), with only 15-20% survival at 2 years (7). Therefore, the therapeutic 
utility of DLI is limited by both toxicity and poor efficacy.

1.1.3 Chemotherapy & Hypomethylating Agent (HMA) Monotherapy 
 
While combined chemotherapy followed by administration of a DLI remains 
standard therapy for relapsed AML post-HCT, as many as 30-50% of patients are 
unable to receive a DLI (10, 11). This results from a number of factors, including 
progressive disease despite chemotherapy, the presence of active GVHD, and the 
lack of available donor lymphocytes for infusion (10, 11).  In such cases, patients 
are often treated with chemotherapy alone with CR rates of 10-15% and significant 
toxicity (11). Meanwhile, HMAs have recently emerged as an alternative to 
chemotherapy. Besides direct anti-leukemic effects, both azacitidine and decitabine 
are thought to enhance GvL effect, potentially via modulation of T Regs and 
cytotoxic CD8+ T cells.  HMAs have been shown to have a favorable toxicity 
profile relative to traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, studies evaluating 
the efficacy of HMA monotherapy in the post-HCT setting have demonstrated CR 
rates of ~10% or less (10, 11). Therefore, chemotherapy alone and HMA 
monotherapy for relapsed AML post-HCT are limited by efficacy, toxicity or both. 
Additional evaluation of alternative agents that may enhance the GvL effect and 
improve outcomes while mitigating toxicity is warranted. 
 
1.1.4 Flotetuzumab (MGD006) 
 
Flotetuzumab is a CD123 x CD3 (DART®) protein. DART proteins are bispecific, 
antibody-based molecules that can bind 2 distinct antigens simultaneously. 
Flotetuzumab is designed to target CD123-positive cells for recognition and 
elimination by CD3-expressing T lymphocytes as effector cells. CD123 is 
expressed by leukemic blasts and leukemia stem cells but not by normal 
hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Therefore, flotetuzumab represents a promising 
therapy for the treatment of AML via redirected T cell targeting of the leukemic 
cells. Data from early phase studies have shown flotetuzumab was relatively well-
tolerated, with the most common AEs being infusion reactions and the majority of 
AEs being graded as mild to moderate in severity (12). Meanwhile, 69.5% (16/23) 
of AML patients who received target doses (500 ng/kg/day) of flotetuzumab 
experienced a clinical benefit (13); and recent data from patients with primary 
refractory AML treated with target doses of flotetuzumab showed 32.1% (9/28) 
achieving a CR/CRi (14).  
 
1.1.5 Immune Retargeting in Relapsed AML post-HCT with Flotetuzumab 
and DLI 
 
A significant driver of long-term remissions in allo-HCT is the GvL effect. 
Additionally, relapse post-HCT may, in part, be related to loss of GvL.  This likely 
occurs both through exhaustion of donor T cells as well as epigenetic changes in 
AML cells that promote immune escape (15, 16). The potential of T cell engaging 
therapies, such as flotetuzumab, to reestablish and retarget GvL in the post-HCT 
relapsed setting may be an effective approach to treat AML relapse after allo-HCT. 
In support of this, patients with relapsed/refractory ALL following allo-HCT who 
were treated with blinatumomab, a CD19 x CD3 bi-specific T cell engager (BiTE), 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 15 of 76 
 
achieved a 45% CR/CRi rate with 65% of these responses being MRD negative 
CRs (17). Additionally, GVHD rates were infrequent, mild and did not lead to 
discontinuation of therapy on trial (17).  
 
Therefore, the administration of a T cell retargeting agent such as the 
flotetuzumab DART represents a promising approach to restore the GvL 
effect, putting AML patients relapsing after allo-HCT back in remission. 
Additionally, administration of fresh donor-derived immune cells through 
DLI may enhance the ability of flotetuzumab to target AML cells, while 
reducing post-DLI GVHD by redirecting donor lymphocytes away from 
normal host tissues.  
 
Finally, one recently identified mechanism for the loss of GvL is the down-
regulation of specific MHC class II genes on AML cells, observed in 30-50% of 
patients (15, 16). Loss of MHC class II expression is predicted to weaken GvL by 
preventing antigen expression to donor immune cells.  In preclinical experiments, 
treatment of MHC class II-low AML cells with flotetuzumab in the presence of 
donor T cells restores MHC class II expression on AML cells through IFN-γ release 
in the tumor microenvironment, leading to AML cell death even in the absence of 
CD123 expression (unpublished). Therefore, flotetuzumab may be an especially 
effective treatment for patients relapsing with MHC class II-low AML cells, both 
through the direct flotetuzumab-mediated T cell engagement with CD123+ AML 
cells (MHC class-II independent), as well as indirectly through upregulation of 
MHC class II by IFN-γ release in the tumor microenvironment.   
 
1.1.6 Hypothesis 
 
We hypothesize that flotetuzumab for relapsed AML following allo-HCT will be 
safe, tolerable and may facilitate preferential immune effector cell retargeting of 
leukemic cells resulting in improved patient outcomes.  Furthermore, 
administration of a DLI (if available) in combination with flotetuzumab will be 
safe, tolerable and may provide additional therapeutic efficacy. 
 
1.1.7 Justification for Dose 
 
MGD administered as a continuous IV infusion on 28-day cycles has been studied 
in a phase 1/2 clinical trial (CP-MGD006-01) in MDS/AML patients.  
 
Dose Selection: 
During the phase 1 dose escalation portions of this study, doses of flotetuzumab 
including 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 500 and 700 ng/kg/day were evaluated. Based on the 
safety and tolerability data from this portion of the trial, the 500 ng/kg/day dose 
was determined to be the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 
II dose (RP2D).  
 
 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 16 of 76 
 
Schedule of Administration: 
Two schedules of administration were evaluated in the Phase 1 dose escalation and 
first cohort (n-30) of the Phase 2 cohort expansion, including: 1) a 4-day on/3-day 
off each week administration schedule for 28 days and 2) a continuous infusion for 
the entire 28-day cycle. Ultimately, both approaches were shown to be feasible, 
however the continuous infusion schedule was selected to carry forward for the 
remainder of the dose expansion cohorts (n=132), because continuous infusion 
without 3-day breaks offered improved safety with respect to adverse events (CRS) 
and improved anti-leukemic activity (some patients were observed to have transient 
increases in peripheral blast counts during the off days). 
  
Week 1, Lead-in Dosing: 
Both schedules of administration utilized a lead-in dose in Week 1, after which all 
cohorts stepped up to their target doses on their assigned schedules of 
administration for the remainder of the 28-day cycle. Initially the lead-in dose was 
100 ng/kg/day for 4 days. This lead-in dose was modified to 30 ng/kg/day for 3 
days followed by 100 ng/kg/day for 4 days for the first week of Cycle 1. A 
subsequent protocol amendment modified the lead-in dose in Week 1, to include an 
initial dose of 30 ng/kg/day on Day 1, with daily, stepwise up-titration reaching a 
final step up on Day 7 to the goal of 500 ng/kg/day (see Table 3). 
 
Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy: 
As of November, 2019, data have been reported on 50 patients with AML receiving 
flotetuzumab administered via a stepwise ramp during week 1 (see Table 3) to the 
RP2D goal of 500 ng/kg/day administered as a 7-day/week continuous infusion on 
28-day cycles. Flotetuzumab was well tolerated, with comparable cytokine release 
syndrome events in primary refractory patients (30% G1, 67% G2, 3% G3) and 
relapsed patients (26% G1, 58% G2, 16% G3). Meanwhile, 69.5% (16/23) of AML 
patients who received target doses (500 ng/kg/day) of flotetuzumab experienced a 
clinical benefit (13); and recent data from patients with primary refractory and early 
relapsed AML treated with target doses of flotetuzumab showed 32.1% (9/28) 
achieving a CR/CRi (14). 
 
Based on the above data, we propose dosing flotetuzumab with a stepwise, daily 
up-titration during week 1 (see Table 3) to a goal RP2D dose of 500 ng/kg/day 
administered as a continuous IV infusion 7 days/week on 28-day cycles. 
 
1.2 
Risk/Benefit Assessment 
 
1.2.1 Known Potential Risks 
 
As of the data cut-off date of 22 January 2021 from the most current MacroGenics 
IB v11.0, flotetuzumab has been evaluated in the ongoing first-in-human 
monotherapy clinical study (CP-MGD006-01). Overall, the preliminary safety 
profile of flotetuzumab does not show any unexpected, significant, or rare safety 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 17 of 76 
 
findings and confirms the safety observations are consistent with the mechanism of 
action of flotetuzumab or with the patients’ underlying disease.  
 
Infusion-related reaction (IRR, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS)), is the 
only important identified risk based on the observations from the 81 patients in this 
study and from the mechanism of action of flotetuzumab. Cumulatively, 71/81 
patients (87.6%) experienced at least one IRR or CRS event. The majority of 
patients experiencing infusion-related reactions (including CRS) had reactions that 
were mild to moderate in severity (62/71), whereas 9 patients experienced at least 
1 severe (Grade 3) event. None of these events have been life-threatening or fatal. 
Infusion-related reactions (including CRS) typically occurred during the initial 48 
hours of the first infusion of flotetuzumab. Infusion-related reaction symptoms 
typically included pyrexia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, and/or respiratory 
symptoms (e.g., tachypnea, hypoxia). Most of these events were considered 
possibly, probably, or definitely related to flotetuzumab. Infusion-related reaction 
(including CRS) events have been manageable with treatment interruption, dose 
reduction, early use of tocilizumab, and medical intervention, with antipyretics, 
antihistamines, and corticosteroids. Notably, the stepwise lead-in dosing is 
associated with a reduced frequency and/or severity of IRR/CRS. 
 
Neurological events, defined as AEs of any grade of the Nervous System or 
Psychiatric Disorders System Organ Class, irrespective of attribution, have been 
seen in patients exposed to flotetuzumab. The most common of these to date were 
headache and insomnia. Other neurological events, Grade 3 or higher attributable 
to flotetuzumab, included delirium, encephalopathy, headache, mental status 
changes, and syncope. These events generally occurred in the clinical setting of 
IRR/CRS. Events reported in the Nervous System or Psychiatric Disorders System 
Organ Class to date have generally been mild to moderate in severity in most 
patients, and were reversible with no long-term clinical sequelae.  
 
Risk of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) has been associated with T-cell redirecting 
therapy, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) and CD3-engaging 
bispecific antibody-based molecules, and reported for the CD123-directed 
cytotoxin, tagraxofusp-erzs (Elzonris®). While CLS has not been frequently 
observed in patients treated with flotetuzumab, a detailed review of recent clinical 
data across all flotetuzumab studies identified three patients who received 
flotetuzumab monotherapy that, concomitant with cytokine release syndrome 
during multi-step lead-in dosing, exhibited rapid weight gain, decreased albumin, 
and systemic edema suggestive of CLS. Pleural and pericardial effusions were 
noted in some cases as well. Of note, CLS may not be associated with 
hemoconcentration in this patient population. 
 
Acute and chronic GVHD are well-described complications following allo-HCT. 
Furthermore, new onset or worsening acute and chronic GVHD has been reported 
is as many as 60-70% of patients receiving DLI alone or in combination with 
chemotherapy for relapsed AML following allo-HCT. The reported severity of both 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 18 of 76 
 
acute and chronic GVHD in this setting have ranged from mild to severe, with 
reports of grade 4 and grade 5 toxicity.  Flotetuzumab has been studied in AML 
patients with primary refractory and relapsed disease in the CP-MGD006-01 study. 
In addition, other T cell redirecting therapies have been used post-allo-HCT without 
increased GVHD (17).  Nevertheless, flotetuzumab has not been evaluated in AML 
patients with relapsed disease following allo-HCT and the risk of GVHD in this 
patient population is unknown.    
 
1.2.2 Known Potential Benefits 
 
Flotetuzumab has demonstrated anti-neoplastic activity. During cohort expansion 
in the CP-MGD006-01 study, 23 patients treated at the threshold 500 ng/kg/day 
dose have completed at least one cycle of treatment and had a post-treatment bone 
marrow biopsy. Anti-leukemic activity was documented in 69.5% (16/23) patients, 
with 4/23 patients achieving CR (2), CRi (1) or PR (1). Additionally, 12 patients 
had stable disease or other clinical benefits (defined as a decline in bone marrow 
leukemic blasts not meeting complete or partial response as classified by modified 
IWG criteria). Additional, recently reported data as of 11/2019 from the same 
cohort of patients with primary refractory and early relapsed AML treated with 
target doses of flotetuzumab showed 32.1% (9/28) achieving a CR/CRi. This 
compares favorably to historic CR/CRi rates of ~12.5% utilizing best SOC options. 
 
1.3 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
 
This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center Phase 2 study to evaluate for efficacy, 
safety and tolerability of flotetuzumab administered as a single agent and/or in combination 
with DLI in patients with relapsed AML post-allo-HCT.  
 
The study is designed to include 2 cycles of treatment. During Cycle 1, patients will be 
administered flotetuzumab as a continuous IV infusion with a week 1 ramp up to 
goal/target dose of 500ng/kg/day, which will be continued for the remaining 21 days of a 
28-day (4-week) cycle (Cycle 1). Patients found to meet the primary endpoint of complete 
remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) or better on their C1D28 response 
assessment (bone marrow biopsy) will continue on to Cycle 2 of flotetuzumab administered 
as a continuous IV infusion at a target dose of 500ng/kg/day for an additional 28-day cycle 
(Cycle 2). Patients found to be deriving clinical benefit as evidenced by stable disease (SD) 
or a partial remission (PR) on their C1D28 response assessment (bone marrow biopsy) may 
also continue to Cycle 2 of flotetuzumab at the same dose at the discretion of the treating 
physician and investigator.  Patients may receive a DLI concurrently with flotetuzumab 
treatment in Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 2 at the discretion of the investigator and treating 
physician. DLI, if administered, will be given on or after Day 8 of the respective cycle. Of 
note, if patients are off flotetuzumab for >72 hours between end of C1 and beginning of 
C2, they will require repeat week 1 ramp up to goal/target dose of 500ng/kg/day. Patients 
found to have progressive disease (PD) on their C1D28 response assessment (bone marrow 
biopsy) will proceed off study with SOC. All patients who receive investigational agent 
will then be followed for treatment response and safety monitoring.

1.4 
Study Duration and Dates 
 
It is generally expected that ~15-20 patients will be accrued per year.  The target accrual 
for the study is 25 patients. Therefore, it is anticipated that the time from the study opening 
to completion of accrual with be ~18 months.  
 
Patients will receive the investigational treatment for the first 28 days of the study (Cycle 
1). Based on Day 28 response assessment, patients with CR/CRi/PR/SD may continue 
investigational treatment for another 28 days (Cycle 2); and patients with PD will come off 
study.  All patients will be followed for 2 years after receiving investigational treatment.

STUDY TREATMENT PLAN 
 
5.1 
Premedication Administration 
 
Due to the risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs), specific pre-treatment regimens are 
described below. Table 1 below presents the premedication and prophylaxis regimens. 
 
Prior to the first dose (Week 1): 
All patients are to be treated as described in Table 1 below. No additional steroids should 
be administered for infusion-related reaction prophylaxis except as detailed below. Patients 
should receive adequate hydration during study therapy, and the addition of IV fluids to 
maintain intravascular volume (e.g., 50-100 mL/hr of normal saline) is recommended for 
at least 48 hours after the start of therapy. 
 
Prior to Week 2 dosing: 
The premedication schedule should be followed as described in Table 1 below. In addition, 
these premedications should be considered after consultation with the Principal 
Investigator (PI) if patients are resuming flotetuzumab treatment after a dose interruption 
lasting > 1 day in Cycle 1 or 2: 
• Steroids should not be administered for infusion-related reaction prophylaxis 
except as indicated below, but may be used for the treatment of emerging symptoms 
as clinically appropriate.  
• Tocilizumab (8 mg/kg IV) may be used prophylactically in patients who have had 
severe IRR or CRS in the first week of dosing upon consultation with the PI.  
• Patients should receive adequate hydration during study therapy, and the addition 
of IV fluids to maintain intravascular volume (e.g., 50-100 mL/hr of normal saline) 
is recommended for at least 48 hours after the start of therapy in Week 2. 
 
Prior to subsequent doses (after Week 2): 
1. The premedication schedule should be followed as described in Table 1 below. 
Tocilizumab or steroids may be considered after consultation with the PI. 
2. For infusion-related reactions during the course of treatment, supportive care 
measures should be implemented as outlined in Section 6.1.

Study Intervention Description 
 
Patients enrolled on study will be admitted to the hospital for admission assessments, 
administered premedications and started on Cycle 1 Day 1 on the dose escalation ramp 
schedule (Table 3) of flotetuzumab as a continuous IV infusion. During the ramp week, 
patients will be initiated on flotetuzumab at 30 ng/kg/day and have their flotetuzumab dose 
increased daily to a target goal of 500 ng/kg/day by Day 7.  
 
Patients will then continue on flotetuzumab continuous IV infusion at 500 ng/kg/day for 
the remaining 21 days of the 28-day cycle.  
 
On Cycle 1 Day 28, patients will undergo repeat bone marrow biopsy for assessment of 
disease status.  Patients not deriving clinical benefit defined as PD (Table 2) will proceed 
with SOC therapy off study. Patients who have achieved a CR/CRi will proceed to a second 
cycle per protocol, while patients deriving clinical benefit defined as PR or SD or better 
may proceed to Cycle 2 with permission of the investigator. Patients with available donor 
lymphocytes may receive DLI concurrently with flotetuzumab during Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 
2. At the discretion of Principal Investigator, on Cycle 1 Day 14 patients will undergo a 
bone marrow biopsy for tissue banking and correlative studies. 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 26 of 76 
 
 
5.2.1 Cycle 1 
 
Cycle 1 will include pre-medications, a dose escalation ramp of flotetuzumab and 
then a continuous infusion of flotetuzumab (Tables 1 & 3).  
o Patients will be admitted to the hospital on day 0 for admission assessments.  
o Pre-medications will be administered, beginning on Day 1, as in the 
previous phase 2 trial NCT02152956.  
o The dose escalation ramp will begin on Day 1 and will consist of continuous 
ramp infusion of flotetuzumab starting at 30 ng/kg/day with increasing dose 
over 7 days to a target dose of 500 ng/kg/day.  
o Patients will then continue on flotetuzumab for additional 21 days at target 
dose of 500 ng/kg/day (28 days total).  
o Patients may receive a DLI at the discretion of the treating physician on or 
after Day 8 of Cycle 1. 
o At mid-Cycle 1 (Day 14), at the discretion of the Principal Investigator, 
patients will undergo a bone marrow biopsy for correlative studies only (not 
used for disease response assessments). 
o At the end of Cycle 1 (Day 28), patients will undergo bone marrow biopsy 
for correlative studies and disease response assessment. 
o Patients not deriving clinical benefit (defined as PD, Table 2) will proceed 
with SOC therapy off study. Patients with a CR/CRi (Table 2) will proceed 
to Cycle 2 per protocol.  Patients deriving clinical benefit (defined as SD or 
better, Table 2) may proceed to Cycle 2 with permission of the investigator.

5.2.2 Cycle 2 Flotetuzumab Consolidation  
 
Patients meeting the primary endpoint of CR/CRi and patients with PR/SD (with 
permission of the investigator) will receive Cycle 2 flotetuzumab pre-medications 
and a continuous infusion of flotetuzumab (Tables 1 & 3), beginning within 2 
weeks of completing Cycle 1. 
o Patients will be admitted to the hospital and pre-medications administered 
on Day 1.  
• If patients have been off flotetuzumab for >72 hours, then the dose 
escalation ramp will begin on Day 1 and will consist of continuous ramp 
infusion of flotetuzumab starting at 30 ng/kg/day with increasing dose 
over 7 days to a target dose of 500 ng/kg/day. Patients will then continue 
on flotetuzumab for additional 21 days at target dose of 500 ng/kg/day 
(28 days total). 
• If patients have been off flotetuzumab <72 hours, then patients will 
receive flotetuzumab dosed at 500 ng/kg/day continuous infusion for a 
total of 4 weeks (28 days).  
o At the end of Cycle 2 (Day 28), patients will undergo bone marrow biopsy 
for disease response assessment and correlative studies, and proceed to the 
follow-up phase of the study. 
 
5.2.3 Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (DLI) 
 
Patients with available donor cells may receive a donor lymphocyte infusion during 
Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 2 (if given) at the discretion of the investigator and the treating 
physician. 
o DLI should be administered on or after Day 8 of Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 2 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 28 of 76 
 
o Cell dose of DLI will vary depending on donor source at the discretion of 
the treating physician and according to institutional practices: 
• For matched unrelated donors and matched related donors DLI 
containing a range of 0.5 x 107 to 1.0 x 108 CD3+ cells/kg will be 
administered.  
• For haploidentical and mismatched donors DLI containing a range of 
0.5 x 106 to 1.0 x 107 CD3+ cells/kg will be administered. 
 
5.3 
Response Assessments 
 
Bone Marrow Biopsy (BM Bx) will be performed at the following timepoints for disease 
assessments and correlative assessments:  
• Screening/Baseline BM Bx: performed prior to starting on treatment. 
• Cycle 1 D14 (+/- 3 days) BM Bx mid-Cycle 1 (correlative assessments only, no 
disease response assessment, collected at PI’s discretion only). 
• Cycle 1 D28 (+/- 3 days) BM Bx following completion of Cycle 1.  
• Cycle 2 D28 (+/- 3 days) BM Bx following completion of Cycle 2.  
• Final BM Bx performed at the time of suspected disease relapse or progression. 
 
Responses will be assessed via IWG Criteria (Table 2). 
 
See Section 7.0 for additional details regarding bone marrow biopsy schedule and 
correlative assessments. 
 
5.4 
Safety Assessments 
 
Safety assessments will be performed on an ongoing, continual basis to monitor for any 
AEs. Additionally, formal GVHD assessments will be performed at baseline, on C1 D1 
prior to flotetuzumab dose, C1D28; for patients receiving DLI, formal GVHD assessments 
will be performed weekly following DLI and during follow up.

Concomitant Therapy and Supportive Care Guidelines 
 
All concomitant medications defined below that are administered during the patient’s 
participation in the study must be recorded in the source document and on the electronic 
Case Report Form (eCRF). 
 
Concomitant Medications that will be recorded in the eCRF: 
• Medications related to the management of IRR, CRS and/or Neurotoxicity 
administered from admission to the hospital for Cycle 1 of flotetuzumab, during 
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, and for the 4 weeks following completion of treatment on 
protocol will be documented in the eCRF. 
• Medications and treatments related to the management of CLS administered from 
admission to the hospital for cycle 1 of flotetuzumab, during Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, 
and for the 4 weeks following completion of treatment on protocol will be 
documented in the eCRF 
• Immunosuppressive medications and medications related to management of GVHD 
from the time of study enrollment through 28 days after the last administration of 
study drug or End-of-Treatment visit, whichever is later, will be documented in the 
eCRF. 
 
Patients may not receive the following concurrent therapy: 
• Any other therapies for leukemia. Use of hydroxyurea or other cytoreductive agents 
for the purposes of achieving an initial peripheral blast count ≤ 20,000/mm3 should 
have ceased by the time of registration. However, hydroxyurea may be reinstituted at 
the discretion of the Investigator for the prevention or treatment of signs or symptoms 
of leukostasis during the time of study participation. If this occurs, hydroxyurea and 
any other leukemia therapies used must be recorded in the eCRF. 
• Patients may not get treatment with any other investigational agent within 14 days or 
5 half- lives, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration (Cycle 1 Day 1). 
• Patients may not receive other investigational drugs during the period of study 
participation. 
• Because flotetuzumab employs a mechanism of action dependent upon the engagement 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 30 of 76 
 
of T lymphocytes, the use of corticosteroids other than those employed for 
premedication should be limited as much as possible. Corticosteroid pretreatment 
should follow the recommended dose and schedule. Steroids may be employed in the 
treatment 
of 
suspected 
flotetuzumab-associated 
immunoinflammatory 
AEs, 
GVHD/autoimmune AEs or leukemia-associated  AEs in consultation with the PI. 
• Ruxolitinib should not be administered in patients on active treatment with 
flotetuzumab without approval from the PI. 
• Use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor or granulocyte-macrophage colony 
stimulating factor is prohibited during Cycle 1. Following Cycle 1, the use of 
hematopoietic growth factors is still discouraged. However, granulocyte colony 
stimulating factor or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor may be used in 
accordance with the practice of medicine and institutional guidelines at the 
investigator’s discretion. 
• Vaccinations (with the exception of the annual inactivated influenza vaccine) are 
prohibited while patients are actively receiving study drug (i.e. during Cycle 1 and 
Cycle 2). 
 
Patients may receive the following concurrent therapy: 
• Antiemetics, 
antidiarrheals, 
anticholinergics, 
antispasmodics, 
antipyretics, 
antihistamines, analgesics, antibiotics and other antimicrobials, histamine receptor (H2) 
antagonists or proton pump inhibitors, and any other medication intended to treat 
symptoms or signs of disease not explicitly prohibited as above are allowed. 
 
5.7 
Women of Childbearing Potential 
 
Women of childbearing potential (defined as women with regular menses, women with 
amenorrhea, women with irregular cycles, women using a contraceptive method that 
precludes withdrawal bleeding, and women who have had a tubal ligation) are required to 
have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of 
flotetuzumab. 
 
Female and male patients (along with their female partners) are required to use a highly 
effective form of acceptable contraception, defined as those which result in a low failure 
rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, 
intra-uterine devices (IUDs) or vasectomized partner. Male patients with partners of 
childbearing potential must be either vasectomized or agree to use a condom in addition to 
having their partners use another method of contraception resulting in a highly effective 
method of birth control defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 
1% per year) such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, or IUDs. Patients 
must agree to use contraception during participation in the study and for 12 weeks 
following the last dose of flotetuzumab. Patients should also abstain from sperm/egg 
donation during the course of the study. 
 
If a patient is suspected to be pregnant, flotetuzumab should be immediately discontinued.  
In addition, a positive urine test must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test.  If it is 
confirmed that the patient is not pregnant, the patient may resume dosing. 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 31 of 76 
 
 
If a female patient or female partner of a male patient becomes pregnant during therapy or 
within 12 weeks after the last dose of flotetuzumab, the investigator must be notified in 
order to facilitate outcome follow-up.  
 
5.8 
Duration of Therapy 
 
If at any time the constraints of this protocol are considered to be detrimental to the 
patient’s health and/or the patient no longer wishes to continue protocol therapy, the 
protocol therapy should be discontinued and the reason(s) for discontinuation documented 
in the case report forms. 
 
In the absence of treatment delays due to adverse events, treatment may continue for 2 
months or until one of the following criteria applies: 
• Documented and confirmed disease progression 
• Death 
• Adverse event(s) that, in the judgment of the investigator, may cause severe or 
permanent harm or which rule out continuation of study drug 
• General or specific changes in the patient’s condition render the patient unable to 
receive further treatment in the judgment of the investigator 
• Suspected pregnancy 
• Serious non-compliance with the study protocol 
• Lost to follow-up 
• Patient withdraws consent 
• Investigator removes the patient from study 
• The Siteman Cancer Center decides to close the study 
 
Patients who prematurely discontinue treatment for any reason will still be followed as 
indicated in the study calendar. 
 
5.9 
Duration of Follow-up 
 
Patients will be followed at least every 6 months for 2 years or until death, whichever 
occurs first.  Patients removed from study for unacceptable adverse events will be followed 
until resolution or stabilization of the adverse event.  Patients will return to the clinic for 
routine post-transplant visits during the first 6 months of follow-up. After the first 6 
months, patients can be followed either in person via clinic visit or through a phone call or 
medical records review.  
 
5.10 
Lost to Follow-Up 
 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she fails to return for 6 weeks 
following a scheduled visit and is unable to be contacted by the study team. 
 
The following actions must be taken if the participant fails to return to clinic for a required 
study visit: 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 32 of 76 
 
o The study team will attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed 
visit within 6 weeks and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining 
the assigned visit schedule and ascertain if the participant wishes to and/or should 
continue in the study. 
o Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee will 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone 
calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing 
address).  These contact attempts should be documented in the participant’s medical 
record or study file. 
o Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he or she will be considered to 
have withdrawn from the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up. 
 
 
6.0 
DOSE DELAYS/DOSE MODIFICATIONS 
 
6.1 
Infusion-related Reactions including CRS 
 
The predicted mechanism of action of flotetuzumab is the creation of an immunological 
synapse between the leukemic blast target cell bearing CD123 and immune effectors 
bearing the T cell specific CD3 complex, leading to T cell activation and killing of the 
leukemic cell. Activation of T cells is associated with the elaboration of various cytokines. 
In vitro preclinical testing using human PBMCs has suggested that the most vigorous 
cytokine production is that of IFN-γ, but increases in production of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-
4, and IL-10 were documented. Cytokine production, primarily of IL-6, was also 
documented in normal cynomolgus monkeys receiving flotetuzumab - a circumstance in 
which relatively few target cells (mostly CD123-bearing pDCs) were present in the 
animal’s peripheral blood but elimination of those cells was observed. In the cynomolgus 
monkey, very high doses of flotetuzumab (i.e., 5 µg/kg/day) were associated with severe 
cytokine release of multiple cytokines including IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α and to a lesser 
extent IL-8 and IL-4, resulting in moribundity or death. 
 
Infusion-related reactions or Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) may occur. 
Anaphylactic or anaphylactoid-type reactions are possible. Precautions for the 
management of these reactions should be observed during flotetuzumab 
administration. 
 
Infusion-related reactions (including CRS) associated with flotetuzumab administration 
should be managed according to the standard practice of medicine. General guidelines for 
the management of such reactions are provided in this section. However, severe reactions 
may require extraordinary interventions like those that have been required to extinguish 
the syndrome of cytokine storm or may have anaphylactoid features. 
 
Patients should be monitored closely for the development of IRRs during flotetuzumab 
infusion; with CRS, ICE and ICANS toxicity assessments recorded in the EMR flowsheets 
and daily progress notes, as per BMT protocol for patients receiving cellular therapies and 
cell-engaging therapies. Medications and supportive measures for the treatment of such 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 33 of 76 
 
reactions should be available for immediate use for an infusion reaction during study drug 
administration and may include, but are not limited to: subcutaneous (SC) epinephrine (0.3 
to 0.5 mL of a 1:1000 solution), antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine 25 to 50 mg IV), 
corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV push or equivalent), IV fluids, vasopressors, 
oxygen, bronchodilators, and antipyretics. Resuscitation equipment and other supplies for 
the emergency management of an allergic/toxic reaction must be available. The patient 
should be treated according to the best available local practices and procedures. All 
supportive measures consistent with optimal patient care will be provided throughout the 
study according to institutional standards. 
 
Should symptoms of fever or chills develop it may be difficult or impossible to distinguish 
among potential causes of the symptoms including underlying leukemia, neutropenic fever, 
emerging infection, or infusion reaction. Temporarily halting the flotetuzumab infusion to 
collect cultures, institute antimicrobials, etc., may provide information regarding etiology. 
If the fever and chills are considered not related (as described in Section 6.3) to the infusion 
of study drug, the study drug may be reinstituted at the same rate of administration after 
administration of acetaminophen, H2 blockers, and diphenhydramine if not administered 
previously for premedication. More complex symptom composites may require additional 
intervention. Please refer to Section 6.3 for management of infusion reactions if the event 
is considered related to flotetuzumab. If during assessment of IRR/CRS a patient undergoes 
imaging and/or sample collection, e.g., pleural fluid, intra-articular joint aspiration, or 
ascitic fluid, a sample may be further evaluated in order to help elucidate etiology. 
 
6.2 
Premedications and Prophylaxis 
 
Based on the clinical experience to date, similar findings from other bispecific molecules 
such as blinatumomab and reported clinical experience with CAR-T therapies, all patients 
will receive premedication to prevent or mitigate potential infusion-related reactions. 
Specific pre-treatment regimens are described below (Table 4).  
 
Prior to the first dose (Week 1): 
All patients are to be treated as described in Table 4 below. No steroids should be 
administered for infusion-related reaction prophylaxis except as indicated below. Patients 
should receive adequate hydration during study therapy, and the addition of IV fluids to 
maintain intravascular volume (e.g., 50-100 mL/hr of normal saline) is recommended for 
at least 48 hours after the start of therapy. 
 
Prior to Week 2 dosing: 
The premedication schedule should be followed as described in Table 4 below. In addition, 
the same premedications should be considered after consultation with the PI if they are 
resuming flotetuzumab treatment after a dose interruption lasting > 1 day in Cycle 1. 
 
Steroids should not be administered for infusion-related reaction prophylaxis except as 
indicated below, but may be used for the treatment of emerging symptoms as clinically 
appropriate. Tocilizumab (8 mg/kg IV) may be used prophylactically in patients who have 
had severe IRR or CRS in the first week of dosing upon consultation with the PI. Patients 
should receive adequate hydration during study therapy, and the addition of IV fluids to 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 34 of 76 
 
maintain intravascular volume (e.g., 50-100 mL/hr of normal saline) is recommended for 
at least 48 hours after the start of therapy in Week 2. 
 
Prior to subsequent doses (after Week 2): 
The premedication schedule should be followed as described in Table 4 below. 
Tocilizumab or steroids may be considered after consultation with the PI. 
 
For infusion-related reactions during the course of treatment, supportive care measures 
should be implemented as outlined in Table 7 below. 
 
IV fluids should be administered for inpatients unless contraindicated and adequate oral 
hydration should be emphasized for patients treated as outpatients in Cycles 2 and beyond. 
 
Dose interruption: 
If dosing is interrupted for > 24 hours during continuous infusion, the premedication 
schedule should be followed (Table 4).

Management of Observed Flotetuzumab Infusion Reactions and Infusion-
related Adverse Events 
 
The following are treatment guidelines (which may be modified as needed by the 
responsible Investigator according to the best practices of medicine) for flotetuzumab IRRs 
including CRS. Early intervention at the first signs of IRR/CRS, including pyrexia, 
tachycardia, tachypnea and/or hypotension in the absence of alternative etiologies and in 
consistent temporal relationship to administration of flotetuzumab, should be undertaken. 
 
IRR/CRS is a commonly observed event during treatment with flotetuzumab 89.6% of the 
115 patients receiving flotetuzumab monotherapy experiencing at least 1 event of Grade 1-
3 IRR/CRS, as of the data cut-off date of 21 April 2020 from the most current MacroGenics 
IB v9.0. Based on current understanding gained with patients treated with CAR-T cells 
(which have a T-cell activating mechanism of action in common with flotetuzumab), CRS 
is likely to be a common toxicity that can be managed through supportive care and anti-
cytokine interventions to allow for full activity of T cells during therapy. In the 2019 
ASTCT Consensus Guidelines for grading and management of CRS proposed by Lee, et 
al (18), intensive supportive care and treatment of the underlying cause of the CRS 
(excessive cytokine production) is recommended before the event must be considered 
Grade 3 or Grade 4 severity. Adopting this definition of CRS as described in Table 5, and 
concomitantly modifying the guidelines for management of IRR/CRS (below), will allow 
for more flexible management of patients who develop CRS and who may nonetheless 
experience clinical benefit despite the need to manage through mild or moderate infusion 
reactions while not jeopardizing overall safety. 
 
IRR/CRS will be graded according to the definitions described below in Table 5.  
 
Table 5: Adapted from the ASTCT CRS Consensus Grading Criteria 
Toxicity 
Grade 
Characteristics 
Grade 1 Temperature >38°C, no hypotension or hypoxia. 
Grade 2 Temperature >38°C, not requiring vasopressors and/or requiring <6L/minute oxygen 
support. 
Grade 3 
Temperature >38°C, requiring a vasopressor (with or without vasopressin) and/or 
requiring >6L/minute oxygen support (via high flow nasal cannula, facemask, 
non-rebreather or Venturi mask). 
Grade 4 
Temperature >38°C, requiring multiple vasopressors (not including vasopressin) 
and/or requiring positive pressure ventilation (including CPAP, BiPAP and 
intubation/mechanical ventilation

The above grading scale (Table 5) should be used to grade all infusion reactions in this 
study, irrespective of the underlying mechanism of the reaction. Certain AEs may occur in 
temporal proximity to infusion of study drug and therefore, be considered “infusion-
related” while not being considered an “infusion reaction;” such events may be graded 
separately according to CTCAE specific criteria. 
 
IRR/CRS should be managed as described below, when possible. Every attempt should be 
made to continue the infusion during management of the reaction, however decisions to 
change or hold the infusion should ultimately be left to the discretion of the treating 
physician.

be diagnosed, graded and managed according to best practices.  
 
6.4 
Graft versus Host Disease 
 
Use of flotetuzumab has not been evaluated in the post-allo-HCT setting, therefore the 
impact of flotetuzumab on acute or chronic GVHD is unknown. Theoretically, the 
mechanism of action of flotetuzumab may redirect allo-reactive T cells toward malignant 
cells and thus reduce GHVD. In pre-clinical pharmacodynamic data, flotetuzumab displays 
a 10-fold greater affinity for human CD123 to favor initial binding to the CD123+ target 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 39 of 76 
 
cell and minimize CD3 engagement in the absence of target cells. It is also possible that 
there will be no impact of flotetuzumab on the incidence or severity of GVHD, or that it 
will exacerbate GVHD. The administration of a DLI is associated with GVHD rates as high 
as 60-70%, depending on cell dose and other factors. Therefore, it is expected that patients 
who receive a DLI concurrent with flotetuzumab may experience new onset GVHD or 
worsening of pre-existing GVHD.  
 
Accordingly, patients with active GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression with 
more than 0.5mg/day prednisone will be excluded from the trial; in addition, careful 
monitoring for interval development of new or worsening GVHD for patients on trial is 
warranted. 
 
Acute and Chronic GVHD assessments (See Appendices F and G) will be performed to 
evaluate the presence of acute and chronic GVHD at screening/baseline, prior to initiation 
of Cycle 1 and prior to the initiation of Cycle 2, with documentation as below (Section 
7.7.1 and 7.7.2). Additionally, patients should be monitored during treatment for 
development of new or worsening GVHD with appropriate assessment/grading as 
clinically indicated in the opinion of Investigators. 
 
6.4.1 Acute GVHD Assessment  
 
Acute GVHD assessment will be documented with date of onset, grade, and organs 
affected (see Appendix F). Of note, evaluation for alternative etiologies for new or 
worsening rash, LFT changes or diarrhea should be pursued according to 
institutional practice and standards of care. Rashes, LFT elevations and diarrhea 
determined to be explained by an alternative etiology (i.e. not due to aGVHD) 
should not be included in the Acute GVHD Assessment. 
 
6.4.2 Chronic GVHD Grading/Assessment 
 
Chronic GVHD Assessment will be documented with date of onset, grade, and 
organs affected. See Appendix G. Of note, evaluation for alternative etiologies for 
new or worsening findings on the below listed assessments should be pursued 
according to institutional practice and standards of care. For example, rashes, LFT 
elevations and diarrhea determined to be explained by an alternative etiology (i.e. 
not due to cGVHD) should not be included in the Chronic GVHD Assessment. 
 
6.4.3 Dose Delays and Modifications for aGVHD and cGVHD

MAGIC Grade II 
GVHD 
The presence of new or worsening MAGIC Grade II 
GVHD should warrant standard of care therapies for 
commensurate GVHD and the does not require any dose 
modifications to the flotetuzumab. Persistent Grade II 
GVHD not improving with SOC interventions and 
supportive care within 24-48 hours requires a 25-50% dose 
reduction in flotetuzumab with continued SOC 
interventions, supportive care and continued monitoring of 
aGVHD severity. Uptitration of flotetuzumab to target 
dose may be attempted as per CRS protocol upon 
improvement of GVHD Grade to Grade I or better. 
However, persistent Grade II GVHD not improving with 
SOC interventions and with 25-50% dose reduction after 
48-72 hours requires an immediate hold of flotetuzumab. 
Reinitiation of flotetuzumab with resolution of GVHD 
severity to Grade I or better can be attempted, resuming at 
25-50% of the target dose and uptitration as per CRS 
protocol. 
 
MAGIC Grade III 
GVHD 
The presence of MAGIC Grade III GVHD should warrant 
standard of care therapies for commensurate GVHD and 
requires immediate hold of flotetuzumab.  SOC 
interventions and supportive cares should be continued 
with daily assessment of GVHD Grade. Reinitiation of 
flotetuzumab with resolution of GVHD severity to Grade I 
or better can be attempted, resuming at 25-50% of the 
target dose and uptitration as per CRS protocol.  
 
MAGIC Grade IV 
GVHD 
The presence of MAGIC Grade IV GVHD should warrant 
standard of care therapies for commensurate GVHD and 
requires immediate hold of flotetuzumab.  SOC 
interventions and supportive cares should be continued 
with daily assessment of aGVHD Grade. Reinitiation of 
flotetuzumab should not be attempted. 
 
 
Table 8: Dose Delays and Modifications for cGVHD (see NIH cGVHD Severity 
Score in Appendix G) 
Mild cGVHD 
The presence of new or worsening Mild cGVHD should 
warrant standard of care therapies for commensurate 
GVHD level and does not require any dose modifications 
to the flotetuzumab. 
 
Moderate cGVHD 
The presence of new or worsening Moderate cGVHD 
when baseline assessment prior to flotetuzumab was rated 
as Mild or better should warrant standard of care therapies

Page 41 of 76 
 
for commensurate GVHD and the does not require any 
dose modifications to the flotetuzumab. Persistent 
Moderate cGVHD not improving with SOC interventions 
and supportive cares within 24-48 hours requires a 25-50% 
dose reduction in flotetuzumab with continued SOC 
interventions, supportive cares and continued monitoring 
of cGVHD severity. Uptitration of flotetuzumab to target 
dose may be attempted as per CRS protocol upon 
improvement of cGVHD to Mild or better. However, 
persistent Moderate cGVHD not improving with SOC 
interventions and with 25-50% dose reduction after 48-72 
hours requires an immediate hold of flotetuzumab. 
Reinitiation of flotetuzumab with resolution of cGVHD 
severity to Mild or better can be attempted, resuming at 25-
50% of the target dose and uptitration as per CRS protocol. 
 
Severe cGVHD 
The presence of Severe cGVHD should warrant standard 
of care therapies for commensurate GVHD and requires 
immediate hold of flotetuzumab.  SOC interventions and 
supportive cares should be continued with daily assessment 
of cGVHD Grade.  Reinitiation of flotetuzumab should not 
be attempted. 
 
 
6.5 
Tumor Lysis Syndrome 
 
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the most common disease-related emergency encountered 
by physicians caring for children or adults with hematologic cancers. Characteristic 
findings are hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia. These 
electrolyte and metabolic disturbances can progress to clinical toxic effects, including renal 
insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and death due to multi-organ failure. 
 
Prophylaxis for TLS should be administered for patients with AML. Aggressive hydration, 
allopurinol, and oral phosphate binders should be implemented starting preferably 24 hours 
before flotetuzumab administration. Serum chemistries should be closely monitored during 
flotetuzumab administration in accordance with institutional standards for the treatment of 
acute leukemia. If TLS is observed, rasburicase should be considered for management as 
per institutional standards. Patients who develop TLS should be monitored closely for 
abnormal serum chemistries or signs of end organ damage and treated appropriately. 
 
6.6 
Neutropenic Sepsis/Fungemia 
 
While there is no evidence that flotetuzumab targets and depletes neutrophils in vitro in 
human samples or decreases circulating neutrophils in monkeys receiving the drug, caution 
should be exercised in assessing the possibility of infections. Early initiation of empiric 
broad-spectrum antimicrobials is recommended in the event of fever. 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 42 of 76 
 
 
Several monotherapy or multicomponent regimens have been employed. Investigators 
should employ these agents in compliance with best medical practices and institutional 
guidelines and standards. If fever persists for 4 to 7 days, an echinocandin or liposomal 
amphotericin B should be considered. The use of recombinant hematopoietic growth 
factors in AML is controversial. Their use is specifically prohibited in Cycle 1. However, 
beyond Cycle 1, while discouraged, their use is not specifically prohibited by this protocol 
and they may be employed at the discretion of the Investigator. 
 
6.7 
Immune-related Adverse Experiences 
 
Immune checkpoint blockade has been associated with several syndromes resulting from 
the breaking of immunological tolerance. Although not observed in non-clinical studies to 
date, similar immunomodulation might be expected with flotetuzumab. These syndromes 
include: pneumonitis, colitis, autoimmune hepatitis, arthritis, glomerulonephritis, 
myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, hypophysitis, or thyroiditis. Their occurrence dictates 
interruption, and potentially discontinuation, of study drug administration pending further 
evaluation. 
 
6.8 
Neurotoxicity Monitoring 
 
Neurotoxicity, including changes in mental status, has been reported with other T-cell 
directed therapies including chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells and CD3xCD19 
based bispecific antibodies such as blinatumomab. The exact mechanism of the toxicity is 
unknown. As a result, additional monitoring of patients receiving flotetuzumab is 
indicated. An alteration in mental status refers to general changes in brain function, such 
as confusion, amnesia, loss of alertness, disorientation, defects in judgment or thought, and 
disruption in perception and psychomotor skills. Patients should be monitored for changes 
in mental status or other potential neurotoxic events and should be evaluated for orientation 
to time, place and person at baseline prior to treatment with flotetuzumab and at regular 
intervals during therapy. 
 
Any suspected neurotoxic event should prompt full evaluation including imaging studies, 
lumbar puncture and neurological consultation as indicated to rule out other causes. The 
incidence of CNS involvement by AML is low and routine lumbar puncture is not generally 
considered indicated. Patients with known, active CNS leukemia are excluded from the 
study and those with suspected disease must be evaluated by lumbar puncture prior to 
enrollment. See Appendix E for grading, evaluation and management of neurotoxicity.

PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION 
 
8.1 
Flotetuzumab 
 
8.1.1 Flotetuzumab Description 
 
Flotetuzumab is a CD123 x CD3 bi-specific antibody-based molecular construct 
referred to as a DART molecule. Its purpose is to bring into close proximity 
immune effector cells bearing the CD3 antigen, which is a component of the T cell 
antigen receptor complex, and target cells bearing the CD123 antigen, which is a 
component of the interleukin-3 receptor. As a result of opposing the two cells and 
activating the T cell, it is hypothesized that the neoplastic cells will be killed. 
 
Flotetuzumab drug product (DP) is provided as a clear to slightly opalescent, 
colorless to pale yellow 5 mL sterile aqueous solution with a protein concentration 
of 0.1 mg/mL in a buffer composed of 10 mM sodium phosphate at pH 6.0, 150 
mM sodium chloride, and 0.1 mg/mL polysorbate 80. 
 
The concentration, function, and grade of each component in the DP are

8.1.2 Clinical Pharmacology 
 
The predicted mechanism of action of flotetuzumab is the creation of an 
immunological synapse between the leukemic blast target cell bearing CD123 and 
immune effector cells bearing the T cell-specific CD3 complex, leading to T cell 
activation and killing of the leukemic cell.  
 
8.1.3 Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism 
 
See Section 5.4 of the Investigator’s Brochure for preliminary PK results from 
Study CP-MGD006-01. Overall, initial review of the data shows that there was high 
interpatient variability, but no obvious deviation of linearity across different doses. 
Preliminary analysis of flotetuzumab serum concentration indicates flotetuzumab 
PK is best fit by a two compartment PK model. In addition, flotetuzumab 
demonstrates a high clearance rate and a short half-life, as expected. Steady state 
volumes suggest there is high tissue distribution and/or binding. These data 
continue to be evaluated.

MEASUREMENT OF EFFECT 
 
Disease activity will be assessed using CBC and peripheral blood cell morphological examination, 
examination of bone marrow biopsy, and physical examination. For AML, modifications to the 
Revised Recommendations of the International Working Group for Diagnosis (IWG), 
Standardization of Response Criteria, Treatment Outcomes, and Reporting Standards for 
Therapeutic Trials in Acute Myeloid Leukemia will be used. See table below. 
 
Complete remission (CR) 
Bone marrow blasts <5%; absence of circulating blasts and blasts 
with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; ANC ≥1.0 × 
109/L (1000/µL); platelet count ≥100 × 109/L (100,000/µL), 
transfusion independence 
CR with incomplete hematologic 
recovery (CRi) 
All CR criteria except for residual neutropenia (<1.0 × 109/L 
[1000/µL]) or thrombocytopenia (<100 × 109/L [100,000/µL]) 
Morphologic leukemia-free state 
(MLFS) 
Bone marrow blasts <5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; 
absence of extramedullary disease; no hematologic recovery 
required 
Partial remission (PR) 
All hematologic criteria of CR; decrease of bone marrow blast 
percentage to 5 to 25%; and decrease of pretreatment bone marrow 
blast percentage by at least 50% 
Stable disease (SD) 
Absence of CR, CRi, PR, MLFS; and criteria for PD not met 
Progressive disease (PD) 
Evidence for an increase in bone marrow blast percentage (>50% 
over baseline), and/or increase of absolute blast counts in the 
blood (>50% to >25 × 109/L) without differentiation syndrome, or 
new extramedullary disease 
 
Time to response (first or best response) will be calculated from the time of first dose of study drug 
to the time of initial response. Response duration and time to response will be calculated for 
patients who achieve an objective response. Progression free survival and overall survival will be 
calculated as the time from the start of the first dose of study drug until the occurrence of disease 
progression or death from any cause, respectively.  
 
 
11.0 
STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
 
11.1 
Hypothesis 
 
Flotetuzumab for relapsed AML following allo-HCT will result in improved response rates 
compared to historical response rates with chemotherapy or HMA monotherapy 
 
11.2 
Primary Endpoint  
 
The primary endpoint will be efficacy assessed via composite endpoint of CR and CRi 
(Cycle 1 Day 28 assessment). 
 
Efficacy Endpoint will be defined as a combined endpoint of complete response (CR) and 
complete response with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), per International Working 
Group criteria (Table 2, and above.) 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 49 of 76 
 
 
11.3 
Sample Size Estimate 
 
Twenty-five evaluable patients will be enrolled for this study. Assuming a single treatment 
arm compared to historical controls treated with chemotherapy alone or HMA 
monotherapy using a dichotomous endpoint of CR/CRi vs not CR/CRi (as defined by the 
Primary Endpoint, as above), based on Simon’s Minimax two-stage design, we estimate a 
sample size of 25 patients would provide 80% power (alpha 0.05) to detect a difference 
between a 10% CR/CRi rate in historical controls treated with chemotherapy or 
hypomethylating agents alone (10, 11) compared to 30% CR/CRi rate in the treatment arm 
(effect size 20%).   
 
11.4 
Stopping rules for futility 
 
Fifteen patients will be enrolled in the first stage.  This cohort will include all patients who 
have been treated, including those who withdraw from the study.  If at least 2 CR/CRi are 
observed out of the 15 patients, then an additional 10 patients will be enrolled. If 6 or more 
CR/CRi are observed from this cohort of 15 patients, we would conclude that there is 
evidence of efficacy to warrant further investigation. There is less than 5% chance to stop 
the trial at stage 1 if the “true” response is 30% or higher. Conversely, there will be 55% 
chance to terminate the study early if the true rate is only 10% or less.  
 
11.5 
Safety monitoring and determination of excess toxicity 
 
To minimize risk to patients on study, we will perform interval analyses to determine if 
excess treatment-associated toxicity is observed during the trial.   Toxicity may occur due 
to treatment with flotetuzumab, DLI administration, or unknown factors.    Since GVHD 
may be an expected result of DLI, there will be separate stopping rules for excess non-
GVHD toxicity and for GVHD toxicity.  
 
11.5.1 Excess non-GVHD toxicity 
 
Excess non-GVHD toxicity will be defined as a combined incidence of > 20% of 
any of the following: 
• ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic AE at least possibly attributable to protocol 
treatment, with the following exceptions: 
o 
Grade 3 fatigue, asthenia, fever, constipation or anorexia (if anorexia 
does not result in hospitalization, tube-feeding or use of total 
parenteral nutrition [TPN]) 
o 
Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea not requiring tube feeding, TPN, 
or requiring or prolonging hospitalization 
o 
Infection, bleeding, or other expected direct complications of 
cytopenias due to active underlying leukemia 
o 
Grade 3 infusion reaction including CRS, if successfully managed 
clinically and resolves within 7 days without end-organ damage 
o 
Grade 3 or 4 isolated electrolyte abnormalities that last < 72 hours 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 50 of 76 
 
• Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting ≥ 42 days from the start 
of the cycle in the absence of MDS/AML 
• Evidence of drug-induced liver injury based on presence of any of the 
following abnormalities without an alternate explanation: 
o 
ALT or AST >8x ULN  
o 
ALT or AST >5x ULN for more than 2 weeks 
o 
ALT or AST >3x ULN and (TBL >2xULN or INR >1.5) 
o 
ALT or AST >3x ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, 
vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or 
eosinophilia (>5%) 
 
11.5.2 Excess GVHD toxicity 
 
Excess GVHD toxicity will be defined as a > 25% incidence of Grade III-IV acute 
GVHD or severe chronic GVHD occurring at any time during treatment. 
  
11.6 
Stopping rules for safety 
 
A Bayesian sequential monitoring rule will be implemented for safety. The stopping rule 
is defined as Pr(θ > θT |data) >0.8, where θ denotes the proportion of toxicities (as defined 
in Section 11.5) and θT denotes the expected serious toxicity rate for study treatments (set 
as θT = 20% for non-GVHD toxicity and 25% for GVHD toxicity).  Interval analyses will 
be performed after every five evaluable patients (see 11.8 for patient evaluability).  If the 
accumulated observed data suggests a high chance (i.e., >80% probability) for the “true” 
toxicity (as defined in Section 11.5) to be >20% for non-GVHD events or 25% for GVHD 
events, enrollment will be paused and data for assessment of early stopping will be sent to 
QASMC for review to consider study termination.  The following tables show the number 
of patients with the number of adverse events that would result in a pause of enrollment to 
assess premature stopping of the trial.  The stopping boundaries were obtained using 
Multc99 version 2.1, a free-download software from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 
(https://trialdesign.org/one-page-shell.html#BTOX). Specifically, we assume that the 
parameter θ follows a prior distribution of beta (1,1), i.e., θ with mean = 0.5 but with 
relatively large variability (non-informative prior). Early stopping will be recommended if 
we observe 2 non-GVHD events out of the first 6 or 2 GVHD events out of first 5 patients, 
etc. (see Tables below), in patients treated in this trial.  A simulation study is also 
performed to assess the operating characteristics for the above stopping rule (all scenarios 
are based on 10,000 simulated trials). For non-GVHD events, there will be only 15% 
chance to stop early if the “true” toxicity rate is 10%. In contrast, we will have 88% chance 
to stop early (with a median of 10 patients treated) if the “true” toxicity rate on 
flotetuzumab monotherapy is 30%. For GVHD events, there will be only 21% chance to 
stop early if the “true” rate is 15% and there will be 86% chance to stop early (with a 
median of 5 patients treated) if the “true” rate is 35%.

Statistical analyses 
 
The data will be analyzed in both intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) approaches. 
The ITT cohort will include all patients who have received at least one dose of 
flotetuzumab. The PP cohort will only include evaluable patients. Patients who withdraw 
before completing Cycle 1 for a reason unrelated to drug toxicity will not be evaluable for 
the primary objective and will be replaced. The data analyses will be descriptive in nature. 
Demographic and clinical characteristics of the sample, as well as response to treatment, 
and loss to follow up will be summarized using descriptive statistics. The CR rate, overall 
response rate, PR rate, SD rate, morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS) rate, and AEs 
that occur during flotetuzumab monotherapy and their 90% confidence intervals will be 
presented. Rate of CR, overall response rate, PR rate, SSD rate, MLFS rate, and AEs with 
subsequent treatment will also be documented with exact 90% confidence intervals.  
Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) will be described using Kaplan-
Meier product limit method. 
 
11.8 
Analysis Populations 
 
Safety analysis will include all patients who receive at least one dose of treatment drug. 
 
Efficacy analysis will include patients who complete at least 1 cycle of treatment or patients 
who withdraw before completing Cycle 1 for a reason at least possibly related to drug 
toxicity. 
 
 
12.0

Page 54 of 76 
 
responsibility of the Washington University Sponsor-Investigator to report to the FDA as 
follows: 
 
• Report any unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction (refer to 
Appendix C for definitions) no later than 7 calendar days after initial receipt of the 
information.   
• Report a suspected adverse reaction that is both serious and unexpected (SUSAR, 
refer to Appendix C) no later than 15 calendar days after it is determined that the 
information qualifies for reporting.  Report an adverse event (refer to Appendix C) 
as a suspected adverse reaction only if there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the drug and the adverse event, such as: 
o A single occurrence of an event that is uncommon and known to be strongly 
associated with drug exposure 
o One or more occurrences of an event that is not commonly associated with 
drug exposure but is otherwise uncommon in the population exposed to the 
drug 
o An aggregate analysis of specific events observed in a clinical trial that 
indicates those events occur more frequently in the drug treatment group than 
in a concurrent or historical control group 
• Report any findings from epidemiological studies, pooled analysis of multiple 
studies, or clinical studies that suggest a significant risk in humans exposed to the 
drug no later than 15 calendar days after it is determined that the information 
qualifies for reporting. 
• Report any findings from animal or in vitro testing that suggest significant risk in 
humans exposed to the drug no later than 15 calendar days after it is determined 
that the information qualifies for reporting.  
• Report any clinically important increase in the rate of a serious suspected adverse 
reaction of that listed in the protocol or IB within 15 calendar days after it is 
determined that the information qualifies for reporting. 
 
Submit each report as an IND safety report in a narrative format or on FDA Form 3500A 
or in an electronic format that FDA can process, review, and archive.  Study teams must 
notify the Siteman Cancer Center Protocol Development team of each potentially 
reportable event within 1 business day after initial receipt of the information, and must 
bring the signed 1571 and FDA Form 3500A to the Siteman Cancer Center Protocol 
Development team no later than 1 business day prior to the due date for reporting to the 
FDA. 
 
Each notification to FDA must bear prominent identification of its contents (“IND Safety 
Report”) and must be transmitted to the review division in the Center for Drug Evaluation 
and Research (CDER) or in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) that 
has responsibility for review of the IND.  Relevant follow-up information to an IND safety 
report must be submitted as soon as the information is available and must be identified as 
such (“Follow-up IND Safety Report”).

APPENDIX C: Definitions for Adverse Event Reporting 
 
A. Adverse Events (AEs) 
 
As defined in 21 CFR 312.32: 
 
Definition: any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, 
whether or not considered drug-related. 
 
Grading: the descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.  A 
copy of the CTCAE version 5.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP website. 
 
Attribution (relatedness), Expectedness, and Seriousness: the definitions for the terms 
listed that should be used are those provided by the Department of Health and Human Services’ 
Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP).  A copy of this guidance can be found on 
OHRP’s website: 
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/policy/advevntguid.html 
 
B. Suspected Adverse Reaction (SAR) 
 
As defined in 21 CFR 312.32: 
 
Definition: any adverse event for which there is a reasonable possibility that the drug caused 
the adverse event.  “Reasonable possibility” means there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the drug and the adverse event.  “Suspected adverse reaction” implies a 
lesser degree of certainty about causality than adverse reaction, which means any adverse event 
caused by a drug. 
 
C. Life-Threatening Adverse Event / Life Threatening Suspected Adverse Reaction  
 
As defined in 21 CFR 312.32: 
 
Definition: any adverse drug event or suspected adverse reaction is considered “life-
threatening” if, in the view of the investigator, its occurrence places the patient at immediate 
risk of death. It does not include an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that, had it 
occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 
 
D.  Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or Serious Suspected Adverse Reaction 
 
As defined in 21 CFR 312.32: 
 
Definition:  an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered “serious” if, in the 
view of the investigator, it results in any of the following outcomes: 
o Death 
o A life-threatening adverse event 


 
 
Protocol Version: 02/28/2024  
 
Page 61 of 76 
 
o Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
o A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct 
normal life functions 
o A congenital anomaly/birth defect 
o Any other important medical event that does not fit the criteria above but, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or 
surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above 
 
E. Protocol Exceptions 
 
Definition: A planned change in the conduct of the research for one participant. 
 
F. Deviation 
 
Definition: Any alteration or modification to the IRB-approved research without prospective 
IRB approval.  The term “research” encompasses all IRB-approved materials and documents 
including the detailed protocol, IRB application, consent form, recruitment materials, 
questionnaires/data collection forms, and any other information relating to the research study. 
 
A minor or administrative deviation is one that does not have the potential to negatively impact 
the rights, safety, or welfare of participants or others or the scientific validity of the study. 
 
A major deviation is one that does have the potential to negatively impact the rights, safety, or 
welfare of participants or others or the scientific validity of the study

APPENDIX H:  Institutional Criteria for Donor Screening 
 
Donor Guidelines 
(adopted from Donor Screening Policy dated 5/2021, refer to this for complete guidelines) 
 
Patients with SD/PR on their C1D28 response assessment may receive a DLI from their original 
donor at the discretion of the treating physician.  Patients may receive cryopreserved cells from 
the original donation, or the previous donor must be willing to donate again.  Donor selection 
will be in compliance with 21 CFR Part 1271 and with our institutional guidelines governing 
donor eligibility.    
 
If requesting additional collections from an unrelated donor, donor assessment and consent 
process will occur in the apheresis center or similar donor facility.  For matched related or 
haploidentical donors, donor assessment take place at Washington University School of 
Medicine.  In cases where the donor medical evaluation occurred more than 6 months prior to re-
donation, evaluation will be repeated per our institutional guidelines and will include the 
following testing:  
• Complete health history and physical examination including vaccination history 
if greater than 6 months since original donor evaluation 
• Required Tests: 
o CMP, CBC with manual differential, PT/PTT 
o HSV serology, qualitative HCG (Females of childbearing potential only) 
o BMT Donor Evaluation Test (panel includes the following tests: hepatitis B 
surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, hepatitis B core total, Hep B NAT, 
HCV NAT, HIV NAT, WNV NAT, HIV 1-2, HTLV-I/II, trypanosome cruzi 
antibody, RPR, CMV titer. These tests must be performed by the American 
Red Cross). 
o Hemoglobinopathy Assessment: G-CSF mobilized, leukapheresis donors, 
must have a negative sickle cell test or be cleared for leukapheresis by the 
transplant physician. 
o ABO/Rh typing, red cell antibody screen 
 
• All infectious disease testing must be done within seven days of an 
unstimulated DCI collection and within 30 days within a stimulated DCI 
collection 
• A negative pregnancy assessment result is required within seven days prior to 
initiation of donor starting collection 
 
Collection of unmobilized peripheral blood lymphocytes from donors is performed by 
leukopheresis.  Unmanipulated donor cells are washed, counted, analyzed for viability, 
and cryopreserved.

Interim Analysis and Early Stopping Rules 
Does the study design include an interim toxicity analysis? 
No 
Does the study design include an interim futility analysis? 
Yes 
If yes, please insert text describing interim futility analysis from the protocol 
Fifteen patients will be enrolled in the first stage.  This cohort will include patients who 
withdraw from the study for reasons unrelated to drug toxicity.  If at least 2 CR/CRi are observed 
out of the 15 patients, then an additional 10 patients will be enrolled. If 6 or more CR/CRi are 
observed at the end of study, we would conclude that there is evidence of efficacy to warrant 
further investigation. There is less than 5% chance to stop the trial at stage 1 if the “true” 
response is 30% or higher. Conversely, there will be 55% chance to terminate the study early if 
the true rate is only 10% or less. 
If yes, please provide data from the interim futility analysis when completed: 
 
Are there early stopping rules that outline circumstances under which the study must be 
suspended or closed? 
Yes 
If yes, please insert text describing early stopping rules from the protocol 
A Bayesian sequential monitoring rule will be implemented for safety. The stopping rule is 
defined as Pr(θ > θT |data) >0.8, where θ denotes the proportion of toxicities (as defined in 
Section 11.5) and θT denotes the expected serious toxicity rate for study treatments (set as θT = 
20% for non-GVHD toxicity and 25% for GVHD toxicity).  Interval analyses will be performed

after every five patients has completed the first cycle of treatment (see tables below).  If the 
accumulated observed data suggests a high chance (i.e., >80% probability) for the “true” toxicity 
(as defined in Section 11.5) to be >20% for non-GVHD events or 25% for GVHD events, 
enrollment will be paused and data for assessment of early stopping will be sent to QASMC for 
review to consider study termination.  The following tables show the number of patients with 
the number of adverse events that would result in a pause of enrollment to assess premature 
stopping of the trial.  The stopping boundaries were obtained using Multc99 version 2.1, a free-
download software from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (https://trialdesign.org/one-page-
shell.html#BTOX). Specifically, we assume that the parameter θ follows a prior distribution of 
beta (1,1), i.e., θ with mean = 0.5 but with relatively large variability (non-informative prior). 
Early stopping will be recommended if we observe 2 non-GVHD events out of the first 6 or 2 
GVHD events out of first 5 patients, etc. (see Tables below), in patients treated in this trial.  
A simulation study is also performed to assess the operating characteristics for the above 
stopping rule (all scenarios are based on 10,000 simulated trials). For non-GVHD events, there 
will be only 15% chance to stop early if the “true” toxicity rate is 10%. In contrast, we will have 
88% chance to stop early (with a median of 10 patients treated) if the “true” toxicity rate on 
flotetuzumab monotherapy is 30%. For GVHD events, there will be only 21% chance to stop 
early if the “true” rate is 15% and there will be 86% chance to stop early (with a median of 5 
patients treated) if the “true” rate is 35%.

INFORMED CONSENT DOCUMENT 
 
Project Title: 
A Phase 2 Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Flotetuzumab for Relapsed Acute 
Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Following Allogeneic 
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT)

This consent form describes the research study and helps you decide if you want to participate.  It 
provides important information about what you will be asked to do during the study, about the risks and 
benefits of the study, and about your rights and responsibilities as a research participant.  
 
KEY INFORMATION 
The first section of this document contains some key points that the research team thought you would 
find important. The research study is described in more detail after this section. 
 
This is a research study conducted by Dr. Matthew Christopher looking at the effects, good and bad, of a 
drug called flotetuzumab when used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after 
treatment. You should carefully consider the information in this consent document and discuss it with 
the research team. Be sure you understand why you might want to participate, or why you might not 
want to participate. You may choose to participate or not. 
 
If you agree and sign this consent, you will be volunteering to participate in the research study. All of 
the information below will be explained and is listed in more detail in the consent document below. The 
research team must give you a copy of this signed consent document. 
 
How will this study affect me? 
• The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of flotetuzumab in 
treating AML. 
• As a voluntary participant, you will be asked to spend approximately 2 months receiving 
treatment and about 2 years being followed after treatment is finished.  You will spend the first 
month of treatment in the hospital. 
o Before the first time you receive flotetuzumab, a tube for intravenous infusion known as 
a “central line” may be placed in a vein in your neck or chest. Having a central line will 
mean that you can get the drug many times without repeated needle sticks. The central 
line may also be used to draw blood samples. 
o During the first week, you will receive flotetuzumab in multiple doses that increase each 
day. Each dose will be given for approximately 24 hours until you reach the target dose. 
o Once you reach the target dose, you will continue to receive that dose every day for 4 
weeks.  
o You will have a bone marrow biopsy at the end of the first cycle of treatment (Day 28), 
which will determine whether you receive a second cycle of treatment. If your bone 
marrow biopsy shows you are benefiting from the treatment, you will continue

flotetzumab. If your bone marrow biopsy shows you are having a partial benefit from the 
treatment, you may continue flotetzumab for Cycle 2 with permission of the study doctor, 
and you may also receive a standard treatment for AML, donor lymphocyte infusion.  
You can receive this donor lymphocyte infusion at either or both cycles. If your bone 
marrow biopsy shows that you are not receiving benefit from the study drug, you will 
discontinue flotetuzumab and receive standard treatment, which may include more 
chemotherapy or a donor lymphocyte infusion. 
o You will have daily blood draws while you are receiving treatment. 
o You will also have bone marrow biopsies at screening, on Day 14 of the first cycle (this 
biopsy may or may not be completed at the discretion of the Principal Investigator),Day 
28 of the second cycle (if you receive a second cycle), and if you relapse again. 
• You were selected because you are have AML that has recurred after previous treatment. 
• The main risks to you are infusion-related reactions, including cytokine release syndrome.  This 
is a temporary reaction that occurs during or after the infusion and involves a release of a large 
amount of proteins known as cytokines into the blood stream. This may cause fever, vomiting, 
rash, itching, muscle stiffness, chills, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, increased heart 
rate and kidney damage.  Other risks include swelling in the arms or legs, diarrhea, joing pain, 
fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever with low white blood cell count.  More detail about risks is 
provided below. 
• You will be not be paid for participating in this study. As part of this study you will receive tests 
and procedures that are similar to what you would receive during routine clinical care of your 
condition.   
o Your health plan/insurance company will be billed for some or all of these costs, and you 
will be responsible for any co-pays and deductibles that are normally required by your 
health plan/insurance.   
o Not all insurance plans cover the costs associated with being in a study. Even if they do, 
you may be responsible for more out-of-pocket expenses, such as co-pays and 
deductibles, when there are more tests and procedures or more expensive tests and 
procedures involved in the study than if you were to receive routine clinical care outside 
the study.   
o If you wish to know whether there are more tests and procedures or more expensive tests 
and procedures in the study, you should ask your study doctor.   
o If you wish to know whether your insurance will pay, you should contact them directly, 
or speak with the study team about obtaining a financial pre-certification prior to 
enrolling in the study.  
o Macrogenics (the drug manufacturer) is providing flotetuzumab at no cost to you. 
• If you withdraw from the study, the research team may continue to use information already 
collected about you in this study.  
 
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY? 
This is a research study.  We invite you to participate in this research study because you have been 
diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which has recurred after treatment. 
 
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of flotetuzumab in 
the treatment of patients with AML. Flotetuzumab is considered investigational, which means that it has

not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   
 
WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THIS STUDY? 
All treatment will be given in either the outpatient or inpatient setting at Siteman Cancer Center.  We 
feel it is important to remind you that any procedures, regardless of whether they are tests you would 
have if you did not take part in the research or are research-related, will require you to remain at the 
Siteman Cancer Center up to several hours.  There may also be a wide variability in the length of clinic  
visits.  It is important that you are able to be available to complete the procedures at each visit to ensure 
that your safety and treatment needs are met. 
 
Before you begin study treatment: 
You will need to have the following screening exams, tests, or procedures to find out if you can continue 
to be in the study.  Most of these procedures are part of regular cancer care and may be done even if you 
do not join the study.  If you have had some of them recently, they may not need to be repeated.  This 
will be up to your study doctor. 
• Physical exam, including taking of vital signs, measuring your height and weight, reviewing your 
medical history, and talking about any symptoms or health problems you’re having 
• Blood tests to check your blood counts and organ function (approximately 1 tablespoon of blood 
will be drawn from a vein in your arm) 
• Blood will be drawn for a pregnancy test if you are a woman of childbearing potential (about ½ 
teaspoon of blood will be drawn from a vein in your arm)  
• Blood will be drawn for research purposes. We will be using blood samples to test your immune 
cells at different points throughout the study, to see how you are responding to the treatment 
(approximately 1-2 tablespoons) 
• Blood will be drawn (about 2 teaspoons of blood) to ensure you are not infected with hepatitis B 
or C, or HIV. If you have had these tests within the last 6 months, they may not need to be 
repeated. If you are determined to be positive for hepatitis B or C, or HIV, you will not be 
eligible for participation in the study. We will also refer you to another doctor in the Infectious 
Disease department to ensure you receive appropriate care for hepatitis or HIV. 
• Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy specimen: These tests are used to tell whether leukemia is 
present. The doctor will use a long, thin needle to put medicine near the back of the hipbone to 
numb it. 
o In bone marrow aspiration, a thin needle and syringe is used to take out a small amount of 
liquid bone marrow. The sucking out of the marrow often hurts for a moment. 
o During a bone marrow biopsy, a small core of bone and marrow (about ½ inch long) is 
removed. After placing medicine to numb the area, the doctor will make a small cut in the 
skin in order to put in a wider needle. The needle is pushed into the bone with a twisting 
motion. Sometimes the needle going into the bone hurts, but it generally only lasts a short 
time. 
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) test to see how your heart is working. You will be asked to lie flat and 
several small electrode pads (like stickers) will be placed on the body. This test takes about 10 
minutes.  
• An echocardiogram (sonogram of the heart) will also be performed. A hand-held wand will be 
placed on your chest to see moving images of your heart, while you are lying down. This test 
takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

• Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to show how well your lungs are working. You will be asked to 
breathe in and out of a tube connected to a machine that measures the functions of your lungs.  
• A sample of your cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) may be removed through a lumbar puncture, if the 
doctor needs to check your diagnosis. A lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap, is done by 
inserting a needle through your lower back into your spine. You will receive pain medication 
during this procedure. The procedure will take approximately 1 hour, and you may need to rest 
afterwards. 
 
It is possible that after your medical history, tests, and procedures are reviewed, you will not be able to 
continue in this study.  Your study doctor will go over any reasons why you might not be able to 
continue in the study with you. 
 
Procedures throughout the study: 
If you continue in the study, you will be admitted to the hospital for treatment with flotetzumab. You 
will need to remain in the hospital for at least one month, while you are receiving treatment. 
Flotetuzumab will be given by intravenous infusion, which means it will be delivered directly into your 
blood through a small plastic tube.  Before the first time you receive flotetuzumab, a central line may be 
placed in a vein in your neck or chest.  
 
Before the first time you receive flotetuzumab, you will be given medications and fluids to help prevent 
side effects. During the first week you will receive flotetuzumab in multiple doses that increase each 
day. Each dose will be given for approximately 24 hours until you reach 500 ng/kg/day.  
 
Once you reach the 500 ng/kg/day dose, you will continue to receive that dose every day for up to two 
cycles or 8 weeks (one cycle is 4 weeks). You will have a bone marrow biopsy on Day 28 of Cycle 1, 
which will determine whether you should continue on to Cycle 2. If your bone marrow biopsy shows 
you are benefiting from the treatment and in remission from leukemia, you will continue flotetzumab for 
Cycle 2. If your bone marrow biopsy shows you are having a partial benefit from the treatment, you may 
continue flotetzumab for Cycle 2 with permission of the study doctor, and you may also receive a 
standard treatment for AML, donor lymphocyte infusion.  You can receive this donor lymphocyte 
infusion at either or both cycles. If your bone marrow biopsy shows that you are not receiving benefit 
from the study drug, you will discontinue flotetuzumab and receive standard treatment, which may 
include more chemotherapy or a donor lymphocyte infusion.  We will also continue to monitor your 
progress over the next 30 days.  
 
You may take a break of up to two weeks in between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Note that if you take a break 
in between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of treatment with flotetuzumab, your dose will be increased each day 
during the first week of treatment, until you reach the target dose of 500 ng/kg/day. 
 
While you are receiving study treatment and/or donor lymphocyte infusion, you will have the following 
tests and procedures: 
• Daily, while you are in the hospital, you will have your vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, and 
temperature) checked. You will also have a physical exam and your weight, breathing, and 
oxygen saturation will be checked. You will be asked about any side effects or symptoms you 
might be having.

• Daily, while you are in the hospital, you will have blood tests to check your blood counts and 
organ function. 
• Once a week, you will have blood tests to check your thyroid and liver function. 
• Blood will be drawn for research purposes (to check your immune system) once a week. 
• A bone marrow biopsy will be done on Cycle 1 Day 14 (this biopsy may or may not be collected 
and is up to the discretion of the Principal Investigator), Cycle 1 Day 28, and Cycle 2 Day 28. 
• You will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (before you begin treatment) 
and on Day 1 of Cycle 2. 
 
Investigational drugs may interact with other drugs during this study.  It is important to notify your 
physician of all drugs, including over the counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins taken while 
you are participating in this study.  
 
At the end of treatment: 
When you have finished treatment with the study drugs, you will have the following procedures done: 
• Physical exam  
• Blood tests to check your blood counts and organ function  
• Bone marrow biopsy 
• Blood drawn for research purposes 
 
Follow-up procedures: 
Follow-up will take place every 6 months for up to 2 years after the end of treatment on the study.  You 
will need to return to the clinic for routine post-transplant visits during the first 6 months. After the first 
6 months, information about your health and well-being will be collected every 6 months, either through 
an in-person visit or phone call. The study team may also continue to access your medical record to 
check on your medical care and health. 
 
Genetic Research 
Genes are a unique combination of molecules (called DNA) that we inherit from our parents.  There are 
millions of tiny differences in our genes.  These differences may make us more or less likely to develop 
certain diseases or conditions or to have certain characteristics.  Genetic research involves studying the 
differences in genes and DNA between individuals. This type of testing creates information that is as 
unique to you as your fingerprint. 
 
As part of this study, we are obtaining blood and bone marrow tissue from you. These may be used for 
commercial profit (even if we remove your identifiable information.)  There are no plans to provide 
financial compensation to you should this occur.  By allowing us to use your blood and bone marrow 
tissue you give up any property rights you may have in the blood and bone marrow tissue.  
 
Will you save my research information and/or biospecimens to use in future research studies? 
As part of this study, we are obtaining data and samples (blood and bone marrow tissue) from you. We 
would like to use these data and samples for studies going on right now as well as studies that may be 
conducted in the future.  Your data and samples may also be used for broad sharing throughout the 
research community.  This means your data and samples may be used for any sort of research and not 
just research related to your current condition including research to develop investigational tests,

treatments, drugs or devices that are not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  These 
researchers may be at Washington University, at other research centers and institutions, or commercial 
sponsors of research.  It is unlikely that what we learn from these studies will have a direct benefit to 
you.  There are no plans to provide financial compensation to you for use of your data and samples.  By 
allowing us to use your data and samples you give up any property rights you may have in the data and 
samples. 
 
One way in which we may share your data with others is by putting it into a large database of 
information, called a data repository.  If your data is placed in one of these repositories it will be placed 
in the “controlled-access” portion of the repository. This means that only qualified researchers, who 
have received permission from individuals that monitor the access to and use of the data, will be able to 
look at and use your information.  Before we put it in this repository, we will remove any information, 
such as your name and birthdate, that might easily identify you.  Even though these data will not have 
your name or other identifying information associated with it, it is still possible that someone may be 
able to trace these data back to you because genetic information is unique.  Although your individual 
data will only be in the controlled access database certain summary information may be available to the 
general public. 
 
This future research may include genetic research. Genes are a unique combination of molecules (called 
DNA) that we inherit from our parents. There are millions of tiny differences in our genes that determine 
things like our height or the color of our eyes. Some of these differences may make some people more or 
less likely to develop certain diseases or conditions or to have certain characteristics. The future genetic 
research may include looking at the difference in genes between different groups of people or it may 
include studying your entire DNA sequence. Studying your entire DNA sequence will provide a detailed 
description of your DNA and is sometimes called whole genome sequencing.  
   
If you change your mind and do not want us to store and use your data, blood, and bone marrow tissue 
for future research, you should contact the research team member identified at the top of this document.  
The data, blood, and bone marrow tissue will no longer be used for research purposes. However, if some 
research with your data, blood, and bone marrow tissue has already been completed, the information 
from that research may still be used. Also, if the data, blood, and bone marrow tissue has been shared 
with other researchers it might not be possible to withdraw the data, blood, and bone marrow tissue to 
the extent it has been shared.

• Infusion-related reaction, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS). This is a temporary 
reaction that occurs during or after the infusion and involves a release of a large amount of proteins 
known as cytokines into the blood stream. This may cause fever, vomiting, rash, itching, muscle 
stiffness, chills, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate and kidney damage. 
This can be life threatening and in rare cases may cause death. You will be given medications before 
your infusions to help minimize the probability of this type of reaction. Majority of infusion-related 
reactions (including CRS) that happened in patients that received flotetuzumab were mild to 
moderate, 141/174 (81%), while 12/174 (7%) experienced severe reactions. One event was life-
threatening and no event was considered fatal. If you experience an infusion-related reaction 
(including CRS) you will be given medications to treat the symptoms. 
 
Additional side effects attributed to the administration of flotetuzumab observed in more than 1 in 10 
patients (≥ 10%) include: 
• Fever  
• Nausea  
• Peripheral edema (swelling in arms or legs)  
• Diarrhea

• Arthralgia (joint pain)  
• Fatigue  
• Alanine aminotransferase increased and aspartate aminotransferase increased (abnormal liver 
tests) 
• Loss of appetite  
• Rash maculo-papular (skin rash) 
• Myalgia (muscle pain)  
• Low blood pressure  
• Vomiting  
• Difficulty breathing 
• Febrile neutropenia (fever with low white blood cell counts) 
 
These events, in addition to infusion-related reactions, were not experienced by all patients and all have 
been clinically manageable. Your study doctor will monitor you for side effects. 
 
Patients in this study have experienced pericardial effusion which is a build-up of fluid in the tissue 
around the heart; in one patient this event was considered life threatening. Collection of fluid around the 
heart could cause a life-threatening condition where the heart is unable to pump correctly due to the 
external pressure. This may require medical intervention to drain the fluid and remove the pressure. Call 
your doctor immediately if you have any signs of shortness of breath, chest discomfort or fullness, or 
abnormally low blood pressure. 
 
Patients have experienced respiratory events of dyspnea (shortness of breath), pulmonary edema (fluid 
in the lung that may be associated with difficulty breathing) and pleural effusion (collection of fluid 
around the lungs in the chest cavity which can cause shortness of breath and may require treatment). 
One patient experienced life-threatening dyspnea and subsequently expired from cardiac arrest. 
Additionally, one patient experienced severe event of pneumonitis (lung inflammation with possible 
difficulty in breathing). Call your doctor if you have difficulty breathing or worsening shortness of 
breath. 
 
Patients have exhibited events of fast weight gain, drop in albumin (low levels of a blood protein) and 
build-up of fluid in the body or extremities causing swelling. These events could quickly become life-
threatening and may require quick medical intervention. Call your doctor immediately if you have any 
of the following: fast weight gain, swelling of your face, arms, hands, legs, or feet, difficulty breathing 
or shortness of breath, low blood pressure. 
 
Patients have experienced a type of herpes virus reactivation known as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). 
Symptoms may include fever and fatigue. Rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) is an effective treatment 
option in patients with EBV-reactivation. 
 
Based on the studies of flotetuzumab in laboratory studies and in animals, and based on studies in 
humans with other, similar types of drugs, there is a chance that flotetuzumab will also cause these types 
of symptoms to happen: 
• Swelling around your eyes and/or your face

• Low levels of a blood protein called albumin. This can cause swelling, weakness, and/or 
fatigue. 
• Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). TLS is caused by the sudden, rapid death of cancer cells in 
response to treatment. When cancer cells die they may spill their inner contents, which build up 
faster than your body can get rid of them. This can change the balance of the chemistry of the 
body and cause severe nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, kidney 
failure, urine abnormalities, severe fatigue and/or joint pain. 
• Infection. Flotetuzumab may alter the normal levels of some of your immune cells, the cells in 
your body that fight infection, and may make it more likely for you to get an infection. It is 
possible that such infections could become severe or life-threatening and possibly fatal. Your 
doctor will monitor you carefully for signs of infection and you should report any signs of 
infections (for example, fever or chills) to your doctor immediately. 
• Immune-related side effects. Flotetuzumab is designed to help your immune system target and 
kill cancerous cells. A possible side effect of flotetuzumab is that the changes in immune cells 
may result in your immune system also attacking other, healthy parts of your body. When your 
immune system attacks healthy parts of your body, you are considered to have an autoimmune 
disease. Autoimmunity can be directed against specific organs such as your lungs, colon, liver, 
thyroid, pituitary gland, joints, kidney, heart muscle, or organs that are hormone-responsive. 
• Neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity refers to problems with the brain or nervous system which may 
result in symptoms such as seizure, fainting, headaches, trouble sleeping, confusion or 
disorientation, dizziness, memory loss, trouble speaking, loss of balance, physical tremors, or 
changes in mood. Neurotoxicity has been reported with other drugs that work in a similar way to 
flotetuzumab. In the study so far, about one third of patients who received flotetuzumab had 
symptoms that may suggest neurotoxicity that were attributed to flotetuzumab, although most 
cases were mild to moderate in severity. The most common treatment related events seen in 5% 
or more of patients were headache and confusion. Severe events attributed to flotetuzumab 
included delirium (loss of contact with reality), mental status changes, confusion, aphasia 
(inability to speak), depressed level of consciousness (sleepiness), dizziness, fainting, 
encephalopathy (decreased brain function), and headache, and, to date, these have occurred in 
7% of patients. Overall, these events have generally been of short duration and patients 
recovered fully, although some patients have experienced intermittent symptoms over an 
extended period of time. Your doctor will monitor you for symptoms of neurotoxicity.  
• Due to the risk of possible neurotoxicity, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery while 
receiving flotetuzumab and for 30 days after you receive your last dose of flotetuzumab. 
 
Risks of Central Line Placement 
• Pain 
• Bruising, bleeding 
• Infection 
• Blood clot 
 
Risks of Bone Marrow Aspirate/Biopsy 
Serious problems from a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy are not common. Side effects may include 
pain, infection of the test site (redness and feeling of warmth in the area) and bleeding or bruising at the 
test site. You may feel some tenderness for a week or more after your bone marrow aspirate/biopsy.

Risks of Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
Placement of the leads may cause skin irritation, itching, redness, or burning of the skin at the sites 
where the leads were attached. 
 
 
Risks of Blood Drawing 
The blood draw may cause bleeding, bruising, or pain.  Some people become dizzy or feel faint. There is 
also a rare risk of infection. 
 
Risks of Lumbar Puncture 
• Post-lumbar puncture headache. Up to 25 percent of people who have undergone a lumbar 
puncture develop a headache afterward due to a leak of fluid into nearby tissues. 
• The headache typically starts several hours up to two days after the procedure and may be 
accompanied by nausea, vomiting and dizziness. The headaches are usually present when sitting 
or standing and resolve after lying down. Post-lumbar puncture headaches can last from a few 
hours to a week or more. 
• Back discomfort or pain. You may feel pain or tenderness in your lower back after the procedure. 
The pain might radiate down the back of your legs. 
• Bleeding. Bleeding may occur near the puncture site or, rarely, into the epidural space. 
• Brainstem herniation. Increased pressure within the skull (intracranial), due to a brain tumor or 
other space-occupying lesion, can lead to compression of the brainstem after a sample of 
cerebrospinal fluid is removed. A computerized tomography (CT) scan or MRI prior to a lumbar 
puncture can be obtained to determine if there is evidence of a space-occupying lesion that 
results in increased intracranial pressure. This complication is rare. 
 
Risks of Computed Tomography (CT) scan 
Rare: Malfunction of worn or implanted electronic medical devices. 
 
If you have electronic medical devices implanted such as a pacemaker or a drug pump, please make sure 
you tell your study doctors and research staff.  The CT scan may cause a malfunction of electronic 
medical devices. 
 
CT scans will expose you to doses of radiation. There is a small risk of cancer from radiation exposure. 
A liquid contrast material may be injected into your vein before your CT scan. In rare cases, people have 
an allergic reaction to the contrast material. This reaction can be serious and life-threatening. Tell your 
study doctor if you are taking Glucophage or metformin before you have contrast material. 
 
Risks for Women Capable of Becoming Pregnant 
If you are a woman capable of becoming pregnant, we will ask you to have a pregnancy test before 
beginning this study.  You must use effective birth control methods and try not to become pregnant 
while participating in this study, and for 12 weeks after your last dose of treatment.  If you become 
pregnant, there may be unknown risks to your unborn child, or risks to your unborn child that we did not 
anticipate.  There may be long-term effects of the treatment being studied that could increase the risk of 
harm to an unborn child.  You must tell the doctor if your birth control method fails while you are on the

study. If you believe or know you have become pregnant while participating in this research study, 
please contact the research team member identified at the top of this document as soon as possible.  
Please discuss with the research team how long you need to wait before becoming pregnant after 
completing the treatment or procedures on this study. 
 
 
Risks of Radiation Exposure in Women Capable of Becoming Pregnant 
You may not participate in this study if you are pregnant.  If you are capable of becoming pregnant, we 
will perform a pregnancy test before exposing you to research-related radiation.  You must tell us if you 
may have become pregnant within the previous 14 days because the pregnancy test is unreliable during 
that time. 
 
Risks for Sexually Active Males 
If you are a sexually active male, it is important that you not impregnate anyone or donate sperm during 
your participation in this study, and for 12 weeks after your last dose of treatment. There may be 
unknown risks to the unborn child or risks we did not anticipate. If pregnancy is a possibility, you must 
agree to use birth control if you want to take part in this study. If you believe or know that you have 
impregnated anyone, donated sperm or otherwise fathered a child during your participation in this study, 
please contact the research team member identified at the top of the document as soon as possible. 
 
Risks of Genetic Research 
There may be information obtained from the genetic testing that indicates that you, or potentially a 
family member (since we inherit genes from our parents, and pass genes on to our children) are at risk 
for a particular disease or condition.  For example, genetic sequencing may indicate that an individual is 
more prone to develop certain types of cancer or other types of diseases, (e.g. Alzheimer’s or other 
inherited diseases).   
 
If made available to persons or agencies outside of our research group, information about genetic test 
results could affect your employment or insurance.  For instance, employers, insurers, or others may use 
this information when making decisions about you or your family members regarding employment, 
insurance, or other benefits. 
 
Risk of Re-Identification from Genetic Sample 
While the data developed for this study is being stored without traditional identifiers (stored only with 
coded ID numbers, no names), there may be ways of linking the genetic materials back to you.  Because 
your DNA is unique to you, it is possible that someone could look at the information in the DNA 
database and compare it to information in another database, and use that to identify you.  This is difficult 
to do and is very unlikely to happen. 
 
Risks of Genetic Research 
There is a federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). In general, this 
law makes it illegal for health insurance companies, group health plans and employers with greater than 
15 employees to discriminate against you based on your genetic information. However, it does not 
protect you against discrimination by companies that sell life insurance, disability insurance or long 
term-care insurance.

Risks of Testing for Reportable Diseases 
If you decide to participate in this study, we will test you for hepatitis B or C, or HIV.  The results of 
these tests could indicate that you have one of these conditions.  If that happens, we will refer you to a 
doctor who specializes in treating your condition.  We will make every effort to keep your personal 
information confidential.  However, we are required by law to report certain positive tests to the state of 
Missouri and/or local agencies.  The test results could also be reported to the Centers for Disease 
Control.  You may be contacted by these agencies for more information.  Becoming aware of a new 
diagnosis could have serious health, personal and/or social consequences.  For more information about 
the risks of this testing, please talk to your study doctor. 
 
Risk of Breach of Confidentiality 
One risk of participating in this study is that confidential information about you may be accidentally 
disclosed.  We will use our best efforts to keep the information about you secure.  Please see the section 
in this consent form titled “How will you keep my information confidential?” for more information.
