A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety,and Efficacy of Omacetaxine Given Subcutaneously as a Fixed Dose in Patients With Chronic Phase (CP) or Accelerated Phase (AP) Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) (Referred to as the SYNSINCT Study)

An Open-Label, Single-Group Clinical Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety,and Efficacy of Omacetaxine Mepesuccinate Given Subcutaneously as a Fixed Dose inPatients With Chronic Phase or Accelerated Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Who Have Failed 2 or More Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapies

To satisfy a postmarketing requirement, the sponsor has been requested to conduct a Phase 1/Phase 2 single-group clinical study to investigate the pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety and efficacy of omacetaxine following a fixed-dose administration to patients with CP or AP CML who have failed 2 or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Omacetaxine mepesuccinate

Detailed Description

Because the trial was not feasible due to the inability to accrue additional clinical study sites and enroll an adequate number of subjects, the FDA released the sponsor from the postmarketing requirement on 13 November 2017 and the study was stopped prematurely. Therefore, the study did not progress to the Phase 2 portion.

Intervention / Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL: Omacetaxine mepesuccinate.; The study will consist of up to a 7-day screening period, and treatment for up to 12 months, in Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions, depending on response and tolerability. Patients will also have an end-of-treatment follow-up visit approximately 28 days after the last dose of omacetaxine. Each patient will be monitored for progression and survival for at least 1 year after their last dose of omacetaxine, death, or lost to follow-up, whichever comes first, regardless of patients receiving other anticancer treatment.

Drug: Omacetaxine mepesuccinate; 3.5 mg omacetaxine mepesuccinate and 10 mg mannitol; The first dose of the day for cycle 1 will be administered at the investigational center. Subsequent doses (in prefilled syringes) may be administered on an outpatient basis after training takes place; Other Names: C41443; SYNRIBO®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Major Response at Any Time During Treatment	The Independent Data Monitoring Committee assessments are summarized. Major response for participants with chronic phase CML was a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) defined as a complete cytogenetic response with no Ph+ metaphases, or a partial cytogenetic response with up to 35% Ph+ metaphases. Note that a complete hematologic response was not considered a major response. Major response for participants with accelerated phase CML was a major hematologic response (MaHR) defined as a complete hematologic response or no evidence of leukemia, and/or a major cytogenic response (MCyR).	Day 1 up to Month 15 (longest treatment duration)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Longest Duration of Response At Study Termination	Duration of response was defined for responders as the time interval from the first reported date of a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) or a major hematologic response (MaHR) to the earliest date of objective evidence of disease progression (ie, development of accelerated-phase CML), relapse (ie, loss of complete hematologic or major cytogenetic response), or death. Kaplan-Meier estimates for duration of response were not performed due the small enrollment population and early termination of the study. What is reported is the longest duration of response observed prior to disease progression, death, lost to follow-up or study termination.	Day 1 to Day 541 (longest progression/survival follow-up)
Number of Participants Who Had a Molecular Response at Any Time During Treatment	Molecular response was defined by the decrease in the amount of BCR-ABL (an abnormality of chromosome 22) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or by the actual percentage of BCR-ABL mRNA transcripts (ratio of BCR-ABL transcript numbers to the number of control gene transcripts).	Day 1 up to Month 15
Number of Participants Who Were Alive and Progression-Free at Study Termination	Progression-free survival was defined as the time interval from the date of first dose to the date of the earliest objective evidence of disease progression (ie, development of accelerated-phase CML), relapse (ie, loss of complete hematologic or major cytogenetic response), or death. Kaplan-Meier estimates for time for progression-free survival were not performed due the small enrollment population and early termination of the study. What is reported is the number of participants who were alive and progression-free at the time of study termination.	Day 1 to Day 541 (longest progression/survival follow-up)
Number of Participants Who Were Alive at Study Termination	Overall survival was defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose to the date of death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier time estimates for overall survival were not performed due to the small enrollment population and early termination of the study. What is reported is the number of participants who were alive at the time of study termination.	Day 1 to Day 541 (longest progression/survival follow-up)
