Ziftomenib for the Treatment of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Following Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of ziftomenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) following a donor hematopoietic cell transplant. Donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), a transplant of the blood forming cells from donors, is a potential cure for most patients with AML. The most common reason for long-term failure after HCT remains disease relapse, which requires new strategies to improve the durability of transplant and survival. Many AML patients have molecular mutations that are associated with menin dependency. Ziftomenib prevents the interaction between two proteins, menin and MLL, that are needed for cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving ziftomenib may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with AML, ALL, or MDS after allogeneic HCT.

- HCT Donor will be one of the following: * 5/6 or 6/6 (histocompatibility antigen [HLA]-A, B, DR) matched related donor * 7/8 or 8/8 (HLA-A, B, DR, C) matched unrelated donor. Matching in the unrelated setting must be at the allele level. * Haploidentical related donor, defined as ≥ 3/6 (HLA-A, B, DR) matched * ≥ 4/6 (HLA-A, B, DR) umbilical cord blood (UCB). Matching in the UCB setting is at the antigen level. Recipients may receive either one or two UCB units. In the case of 2 UCB units, both units must have been at least 4/6 matched with the recipient
- Any non-investigational GVHD prophylaxis regimen is allowed
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) and alkaline phosphatase < 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Total bilirubin < 1.5 x institutional ULN (with the exception of subjects with a history of Gilbert’s syndrome, for which the total bilirubin must be < 5 x ULN)
- Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) must be ≥ 50%, as measured by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram
- Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, as measured by serum or urine testing
- The effects of ziftomenib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) during the entire study treatment period and through 6 months after the last dose of treatment
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria
- History of other malignancy(ies) unless * The participant has been disease-free for at least 2 years and is deemed by the investigator to be at low risk of recurrence of that malignancy, or * The cancer has been deemed indolent with no progression over the last 2 years, and deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for further progression during the course of study and follow-up * The only prior malignancy was cervical cancer in situ and/or basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
- Known diagnosis of active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Current or history of congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NHYA) class 3 or 4, or any history of documented diastolic or systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 50%, as measured by MUGA scan or echocardiogram)
- Current or history of ventricular or life-threatening arrhythmias or diagnosis of long-QT syndrome
- Systemic uncontrolled infection
- Known dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other condition(s) that limits the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 180 mmHg or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg)

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of ziftometnib followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients undergo allogeneic HCT and after 30-90 days receive ziftometnib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) during screening. Patients also undergo blood sample collection and bone marrow biopsy and aspiration throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 24 months from start of treatment.
