A Phase 1/2 Study of Enzomenib (DSP-5336) in Patients With Acute Leukemia (Horizen-1)

March 20, 2026 updated by: Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc.

A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Dose-Expansion Study of Enzomenib (DSP-5336) in Patients With Acute Leukemia and Other Selected Hematologic Malignancies, With and Without Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) Rearrangement or Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) Mutation (Horizen-1)

A phase 1/2 dose escalation / dose expansion study of Enzomenib (DSP-5336) in patients with acute leukemia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

DSP-5336-101 is a phase 1/2 open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion study in which the safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of orally administered DSP-5336 will be evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, ALL, or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage, and in selected sites and regions, in adult patients with high-risk relapsed or refractory MDS or relapsed MM.

Additionally, the safety and clinical activity of orally administered DSP-5336 will be evaluated in combination with Standard-of-Care (SOC) AML treatments including: (a) the SOC nonintensive regimen (venetoclax + azacitidine) or (b) the SOC intensive regimen (cytarabine + daunorubicin induction, 7+3) in patients with newly diagnosed AML who have MLLr or NPM1m.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

For patients in Phase I:

  1. Have a diagnosis of relapsed or refractory AML, ALL or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 classification, or, in selected sites and regions, a diagnosis of MDS or MM as determined by pathology review at the treating institution, and whose disease has progressed after available standard therapies known to be active for their AML, ALL, or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage or, in selected sites and regions, for MM or MDS. If acute leukemia patients are transformation from MDS or other hematologic malignancies, patients need to receive available standard therapies as acute leukemia after AML transformation and before enrolling this trial. In regions or countries where required by regulatory authorities, participants must have a documented KMT2A (MLL) fusion or NPM1 mutation, including those with coexisting FLT3 genomic alterations and/or IDH1/2 mutation. Participants who are candidates for stem cell transplantation must have been offered this therapeutic option.

    For patients with MDS (selected sites and regions):

    1. Patients with MDS must have bone marrow blasts ≥ 5%
    2. Patients with MDS must have relapsed or refractory disease and have exhausted available standard therapies including at least 2 cycles of treatment with HMA

      For patients with MM (selected sites and regions):

    3. Have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 classification (Kumar, 2016) and whose disease has progressed after treatment with a minimum of 3 prior anti-myeloma regimens including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb); patients must not be candidates for available therapies with established clinical benefit
    4. Have measurable disease as defined in the protocol
    5. Meet the laboratory parameters set in the protocol

      For patients with relapsed/refractory AML in the venetoclax and azacitidine combination cohort (in countries and sites where permitted):

    6. Have MLLr or NPM1m.

      For patients with relapsed/refractory AML in the gilteritinib combination cohort (in countries and sites where permitted):

    7. Have MLLr or NPM1m AND any of the following FLT3 mutations: FLT3-ITD, FLT3-TKD/D835 or FLT3-TKD/I836.

      For patients with relapsed/refractory AML with NPM1 enrolled in the RP2D confirmation cohort:

    8. Must have ≥5% blasts in bone marrow by morphologic assessment
    9. Must not have received prior treatment with a menin inhibitor

      For patients with newly diagnosed AML:

    10. Must have AML as defined by WHO 2022 criteria with a documented MLLr or NPM1m (patients with AML characterized by MLL partial tandem duplications, MLL deletions, or trisomy 11 are not eligible)
    11. Must not have received treatment for AML with the exception of hydroxyurea for control of white blood cell counts.

    For patients in Phase 2:

  2. Have a confirmed diagnosis of relapsed AML or ALL according to WHO 2022 classification, as determined by pathology review at the treating institution, and who have ≥5% blasts by morphologic assessment in the bone marrow.
