Study of HQP1351 in Subjects With Refractory CML and Ph+ ALL

Inclusion Criteria

• For HQP1351 monotherapy, patients must have CML in any phase (CP, AP, or BP of any phenotype) or Ph+ ALL, with or without T315I mutation
• For Cohort D, patients with Ph+ BCP ALL or CML LBP must be resistant or intolerant to at least one second or later generation TKI, such as dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib and ponatinib, despite optimal supportive care
• For HQP1351 monotherapy only: Be previously treated with and developed resistance or intolerance to at least two TKIs including ponatinib, imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, and asciminib. For patients with a T315I mutation, number of pretreated TKIs is not restricted.
• The definition of resistance to first-line TKI treatment refers to European Leukemia Net (ELN) recommendations. The definitions are the same for patients in CP, AP, BP, and Ph+ ALL, and apply also to second-line treatment, when first-line treatment was changed for intolerance. The patients must meet at least one criterion:
• Three months after the initiation of therapy: non-complete hematologic response (CHR) and/or Ph+ >95%
• Six months after the initiation of therapy: BCR-ABL1>10% and/or Ph+ >35%
• Twelve months after the initiation of therapy: BCR-ABL1>1% and/or Ph+ >0%
• Then, and at any time after the initiation of therapy: Loss of CHR, or loss of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), or confirmed loss of major molecular response (MMR) (In 2 consecutive tests, of which one with a BCR-ABL1 transcripts level ≥1%), mutations, clonal chromosome abnormalities in Ph+ cells (CCA/Ph+)
• The definition of resistance to second-line TKI treatment a) For CML CP patients: the patients must meet at least one criterion as follows: i.) Three months after the initiation of therapy: No CHR or Ph+ >95% or new mutations ii.) Six months after the initiation of therapy: BCR-ABL1>10% and/or Ph+ >65% and/or new mutations iii.) Twelve months after the initiation of therapy: BCR-ABL1>1% and/or Ph+ >35% and/or new mutations iv.) Then, and at any time after the initiation of therapy: Loss of CHR or loss of CCyR, new mutations, confirmed loss of MMR (In 2 consecutive tests, of which one with a BCR-ABL1 transcripts level ≥1%), clonal chromosome abnormalities in Ph+ cells (CCA/Ph+) b) For CML AP patients: the patients must meet at least one criterion as follows: i.) Three months after the initiation of therapy: failure to achieve a major hematologic response (MaHR) ii.) At any time after the initiation of therapy, the loss of a MaHR, confirmed in at least 2 consecutive analyses separated by at least 4 weeks iii.) At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations in the absence of a MaHR c) For CML BP and Ph+ ALL patients: the patients must meet at least one criterion as follows: i) One month after the initiation of therapy: failure to achieve a MaHR ii) At any time after the initiation of therapy, the loss of a MaHR, confirmed in at least 2 consecutive analyses separated by at least 1 week iii) At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations in the absence of a MaHR
• Intolerance to TKIs is defined as:
• Non-hematological AEs: patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity during TKIs treatment, or with persistent grade 2 toxicity, unresponsive to optimal management, including dose adjustments in the absence of a CCyR for CP patients or MaHR for AP/BP or Ph+ ALL patients
• Hematological AEs: patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity during TKIs treatment, that is recurrent after unresponsive after optimal management, including dose adjustments in the absence of a CCyR for CP patients or MaHR for AP/BP or Ph+ ALL patients

• Total bilirubin < 1.5 × ULN
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST [Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)]) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT [serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT)]) < 3 × ULN for institution (<5×ULN if liver involvement with leukemia)
