Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for a regimen combining WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 (AZD1775) with belinostat in patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC), or intermediate-2 or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and selected previously untreated poor-prognosis patients with AML.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the toxicities of this regimen. II. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. III. If responses are observed, to determine what relationship, if any, exists between such responses and tumor protein 53 (p53)/fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutational status.
IV. To describe pharmacokinetic (PK) interactions, if any, between AZD1775 and belinostat.
V. To test the feasibility of performing correlative studies involving leukemic blasts obtained pre-treatment and 24-hours post-treatment to determine if events associated with in vitro synergism (eg, down-regulation of phosphorylated [p]-Wee1 and p-checkpoint kinase 1 [Chk1]; dephosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase-like 1 [cdc2] at both tyrosine [Tyr]15 and threonine [Thr]14; increased expression of gamma H2A histone family, member X [H2A.X] and of p-histone H3 [HH3]) can be recapitulated following exposure to AZD1775 and belinostat in patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive belinostat intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes once daily (QD) on days 1-5 and 8-12 and WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 orally (PO) QD on days 1-5 and 8-12. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), cytogenetic complete remission (CRc), or molecular complete remission (CRm) who do not go on to have stem cell transplant may only continue treatment for 3-4 additional courses after response.
After completion of study treatment, all patients are followed up for 30 days and responding patients are followed up every 2 months for 1 year.

A Chi-square test and a Fisher exact test will be used to determine if there is a significant association between clinical responses and p53/FLT3 mutational status.
An ordinal regression (where best clinical responses are considered as an ordinal outcome variable) and a logistic regression (where best responses are dichotomized as yes or no responses) will be used to test the association between responses and p53/FLT3 mutational status, with adjustment of potential factors (e.g., dose level, age, sex).

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters (area under the curve [AUC], volume of distribution [Vd], peak concentration [Cmax], time to peak concentration [Tmax], and half-life [t1/2]) of belinostat
Time Frame: Day 1, course 1: pre-treatment, 5 minutes prior to the end of the belinostat infusion, 15 minutes (min), 30 min, 1 hour (hr), 2 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr, and 24 hr after the end of the belinostat infusion
|
Will be calculated using standard non-compartmental methods and summarized as geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation.
Cmax and the times needed to reach these concentrations (tmax) will be assessed by inspection of the concentration versus time plots.
The AUC will be calculated from time zero to infinity.
Vd and t1/2 will also be calculated.
To discover any potential PK interactions between the 2 agents, each PK parameter will be compared with each referenced PK parameter for those who receive single-agent at the same amount dose by a one-sample t-test.

Changes in candidate biomarker levels (including p-Wee1, p-cdc2 and gamma-H2A.X) in bone marrow and/or blood samples
Time Frame: Baseline to 24 hours after first dose of study treatment
|
Various paired t-tests will be used to determine if there is a significant change in each of the candidate biomarker between the pre- and 24-hour post-treatment assessments, in bone marrow samples and in blood samples.
Various simple regression models will be used to check if there is an effect of potential factors (e.g., dose level, age, sex) on the change.
The distribution of the change will be checked and if the data is highly skewed, then an appropriate data transformation will be conducted to satisfy the assumption of normality.
