Actuate 1901: 9-ING-41 in Myelofibrosis

February 5, 2024 updated by: Actuate Therapeutics Inc.

Phase 2 Study of 9-ING-41, a Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta (GSK 3β) Inhibitor, as a Single Agent or Combined With Ruxolitinib, in Patients With Myelofibrosis

9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity while not causing myelosuppression, and has both pre-clinical anti-fibrotic activity and activity against myelofibrosis. This Phase 2 study will study its efficacy in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.

Detailed Description

9-ING-41 is a first-in-class, intravenously administered, maleimide-based, small molecule, potent selective GSK-3β inhibitor with significant pre-clinical and clinical anticancer activity. In the ongoing Actuate 1801 study in a cohort of over 90 patients with advanced refractory malignancies, 9-ING-41 has exhibited no significant toxicity, including no myelosuppression, and significant anti-tumor activity. 9-ING-41 also has significant pre-clinical ability to reverse pathologic fibrosis in multiple models of pulmonary and pleural fibrosis. Reversal of fibrosis by an anti-fibrotic agent in patients with advanced myelofibrosis (MF) has recently been demonstrated to be of clinical benefit. 9-ING-41 has the potential to act both as an anti-neoplastic agent (without causing myelosuppression) and an anti-fibrotic agent in patients with MF. The efficacy of Ruxolitinib is limited in many patients by the inability to tolerate adequate doses for an adequate duration with myelosuppression being a frequent dose limiting toxicity. 9-ING-41 may reduce the dose of Ruxolitinib needed for optimal therapeutic response and/or reverse myelosuppression so than an adequate dose of Ruxolitinib can be tolerated. Pre-clinical data show synergy in MF between 9-ING-41 and Ruxolitinib. This Phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of 9-ING-41, as a single agent or in combination with Ruxolitinib, in patients with advanced, poor prognosis MF.

  3. Has documented diagnosis of symptomatic primary MF, PPV-MF or PET-MF as defined by the World Health Organization classification
  4. Is ineligible or unwilling to undergo stem cell transplantation at time of study entry
  5. Has laboratory function within specified parameters per local laboratory (may be repeated):

    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 100/mL; platelets ≥ 20,000/mL
    • Transaminases (AST/ALT) and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 (≤ 10 X the upper limit of normal (ULN) if considered to be MF-related) x ULN; bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (unless patient has Gilbert's Syndrome)

Has received the final dose of any of the following treatments/procedures with the specified minimum intervals before first dose of 9-ING-41 (unless in the opinion of the investigator and the study medical coordinator the treatments/procedures will not compromise patient safety or interfere with study conduct:

    • Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or systemic radiation therapy - 14 days maximum, or ≥ 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter)
    • Surgery with general anesthesia - 7 days
  8. Patients who are to receive 9-ING-41 plus Ruxolitinib must have attempted ≥12 weeks of Ruxolitinib therapy and required dose reductions/interruptions and/or had an inadequate response
