Phase 1b Study of IDH Inhibition With Enasidenib and MEK Inhibition With Cobimetinib in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Have Co-Occurring IDH2 and RAS Signaling Gene Mutations

Description

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a enasidenib in combination with cobimetinib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cobimetinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving enasidenib and cobimetinib may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety and tolerability of cobimetinib in combination with enasidenib. II. Determine the maximum tolerated dose(s) (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Obtain prel

Trial Eligibility

Main Inclusion Criteria * Patients with histologically confirmed AML, according to WHO criteria, with refractory/relapsed (R/R) disease who are ineligible for therapies known to be effective for treatment of their AML. * Patients with non-central nervous system (CNS) extramedullary disease may be included if they also have marrow involvement * Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) will not be eligible * Patients with IDH2 mutations, who were previously treated with enasidenib are allowed * Have a documented IDH2 gene mutation (≥ 2% allele frequency) and a concomitant detectable RAS-pathway mutation (as determined by local testing), involving NRAS, KRAS, HRAS, BRAF, KIT, RIT1, PTPN11, CBL or NF1 genes. * Adults aged ≥ 18 years * ECOG ≤ 2 * WBC ≤25 x 10\^9/L prior to initiation of enasidenib. Main Exclusion Criteria * Current or planned use of other investigational agents, antineoplastic, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy or major surgery within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy (exception: hydroxyurea is allowed in cycles 1 and 2 for control of rapidly progressing leukemia or for treatment of enasidenib-related leukocytosis) * Systemic steroid therapy \> 10 mg/day (≤ 10mg/day prednisone equivalent ok) or any other form of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days, except as required for treatment of differentiation syndrome * Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors only allowed on Principal Investigator approval) within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy * Foods/supplements that are strong or moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A (such as grapefruit, Seville oranges, starfruit and St. John's wort) within 7 days prior to initiation of and during study treatment * Gastrointestinal disorder such as maladsorption syndrome or any other disorder that may interfere with oral drug absorption * Clinically significant cardiac morbidities (Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association Classification, arrhythmia not stable on medical management, acute cardiovascular ischemic event within 6 months of enrollment, etc) * Active CNS disease
