PHASE2

Brief Summary

This phase 2 study aims to confirm the efficacy seen in the prior phase 1 trial, and further contribute to this effort through the collection of leukemia cells pre- and post- in vivo IFN-γ therapy. As...

Detailed Description

This novel regimen has the potential to fill a large unmet need for this high-risk population of patients who have few, if any, effective therapeutic options. If this trial confirms the clinical effic...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Recipients of an alloSCT for AML or MDS from a minimally 8/8 HLA-matched donor
  • AML/MDS relapsed post-alloSCT with measurable residual disease defined by either of the following criteria:
  • At least 5% or more myeloblasts based on bone marrow biopsy morphology by pathologist review. Abnormal myeloblasts cannot not exceed 30% overall 36
  • At least 0.1% of abnormal myeloblasts with a leukemia-associated immunophenotype (LAIP) by multiparameter flow cytometry. The abnormal cells with LAIP should not exceed 30% of nucleated cells.
  • Recurrent or persistent cytogenetic abnormalities detectable by FISH or karyotype analysis.
  • For patients with mutant NPM1, at least 1,000 mutant transcript copies per 106 ABL or equivalent housekeeping transcripts in bone marrow by qPCR or dPCR
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) 0-2
  • A DLI is available, or the donor is available and agrees to undergo apheresis to collect lymphocytes for infusion
  • If salvage therapy for post-alloSCT relapse was received, the therapy is limited to 1 line of the following:
  • For hypomethylating agents, venetoclax, and targeted therapies (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors, IDH1/IDH2 inhibitors, or FLT3 inhibitors), the last dose must be \> 2 week prior to the initiation of IFN-γ
  • For cytotoxic chemotherapy agents, the last dose must be \>2 weeks prior to start of treatment for the present study
  • For investigational agents, the last dose must be ≥ 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the start of treatment for the present study
  • Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
  • Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
  • For female subject, who is \< 55 years old without hysterectomy, oophorectomy or documented menopause, willingness to use two forms of contraception including one form of highly effective contraception (i.e., long-acting reversible contraception, oral contraceptive pills) for the duration of the study
  • For male subject, willingness to use highly effective contraception methods including male condoms by male subject and one form of highly effective contraception by his female partner (i.e., long-acting reversible contraception, oral contraceptive pills) for the duration of the study

Exclusion

  • Primary engraftment failure after alloSCT
  • Grade 3 or 4 aGVHD per Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC) at the time of planned enrollment
  • History of grade 4 aGVHD per the MAGIC criteria
  • Moderate or severe cGVHD per NIH Consensus Criteria at time of planned enrollment
  • Any systemic immunosuppressive medications taken within 2 weeks before the enrollment
  • Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity related to any prior therapy at the time of enrollment
  • A contraindication to receive IFN-γ including a known hypersensitivity to IFN-γ, E. coli derived products or any other component of the product
  • Positive pregnancy test or currently breastfeeding on Day 1 of study treatment 37
  • Active cardiac arrhythmia not controlled by medical management or current NYHA class II or higher congestive heart failure within 2 months of enrollment unless it was due to a tachyarrhythmia which is under control at the time of enrollment
  • Active ischemic heart disease not controlled with medications within 2 months of enrollment
  • Acute or chronic pulmonary disease requiring continuous oxygen treatment
  • Seizure disorder not controlled by medications within 2 months of enrollment
  • AST or ALT \> 5x ULN or total bilirubin \>3x ULN at time of enrollment
  • Renal function CrCl \<30 mL/min at time of enrollment using modified Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Body surface area ≤ 1.5 m2 or ≥ 2.5 m2 so as to minimize variation in IFN-γ exposure based on differences in body surface area
