Phase 1/2 Study of Carfilzomib for the Prevention of Relapse and GVHD in Allo-HCT for Hematologic Malignancies

December 3, 2021 updated by: University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center

Phase 1/2 Study of Carfilzomib for the Prevention of Relapse and Graft-versus-host Disease in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for High-risk Hematologic Malignancies

The investigators hypothesize that adding carfilzomib to standard conditioning regimen for allo-HCT for advanced or high-risk hematologic malignancies will decrease post-transplant relapse and treatment-related mortality by decreasing severe GVHD, leading to overall improvement in transplant outcomes.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: NA
  • Interventional Model: SINGLE_GROUP
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Carfilzomib
Carfilzomib will be administered IV over 30 minutes, starting at dose level 1 (20 mg/m2 IV) on Day +1, +2, +6 and +7.

Carfilzomib will be administered starting at dose level 1 (20 mg/m2 IV) on day +1, +2, +6 and +7.

Dose escalation will be performed on the day +6 and day +7 doses only in each dose level. Day +1 and day+2 doses will be fixed at 20 mg/m2 IV in all dose levels.

Other Names:
  • Kyprolis®
Tacrolimus will be administered at 0.03 mg/kg continuous infusion over 24 hours, starting on day -3 as standard graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase I: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Carfilzomib
Time Frame: Up to day 28
Subjects were enrolled on the first dose level (20 mg/m^2), following a standard 3+3 dose escalation. For any given dose level, if none of the 3 subjects developed a treatment-related dose limiting toxicity (DLT), defined per protocol, dose escalation would follow. If a DLT occurred in any given dose level, the cohort would be expanded to 6. Further dose escalation would be made only if DLTs occurred in <2 out of 6 subjects. If >=2 of 6 develop DLTs, dose de-escalation would be made to the previous level. The highest dose level at which no more than one of six participants experience a DLT defines the MTD.
Up to day 28
Phase II: Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Patients Who Are Alive and Have Not Developed Any "Event"
Time Frame: 1 year
Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of patients who are alive and have not developed relapse/progression of primary disease or clinical grade III-IV acute graft-versus- host disease (GVHD) or chronic GVHD requiring systemic treatment. Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase II: Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Progression/Relapse-free Survival Time
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
Time from day 0 to the date of the first progression/relapse. Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
Up to 3 years
Phase II: Kaplan-Meier Estimate for Overall Survival Time
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
The time from day 0 to the day of death from any cause. Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
Up to 3 years
Number of Regimen Related Toxicities (RRTs)
Time Frame: Up to 30 days post treatment
An RTT is defined as an adverse event (AE) that occurs within +37 days after transplant or 30 days after the last dose of carfilzomib (day +7), and is considered to be a direct consequence and a related event as a result of the combination of conditioning chemotherapy, GVHD prophylaxis regimen and carfilzomib.
Up to 30 days post treatment
Phase II: Cumulative Incidence of Acute GVHD
Time Frame: At day 180 post-transplant; data collected up to 3 years
The cumulative incidence of acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD). Events were assigned a severity grade using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v. 4.0; lower values indicate least severe and higher values indicate most severe. Grades 2 - 4 and grades 3 - 4 events are reported. Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
At day 180 post-transplant; data collected up to 3 years
Phase II: Cumulative Incidence of Chronic GVHD
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
The cumulative incidence of chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD). Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
Up to 3 years
Phase II: Cumulative Incidence of Non-relapse Mortality
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality. Subjects who receive all 4 doses of carfilzomib at the maximum tolerated dose level will be considered evaluable for endpoint analysis.
Up to 3 years
