Brief Summary:
This phase II trial tests whether decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) in combination with venetoclax work better than ASTX727 alone at decreasing symptoms of bone marrow cancer in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) with excess blasts. Blasts are immature blood cells. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. The combination of ASTX727 and venetoclax may be more effective in reducing the cancer signs and symptoms in patients with CMML, or MDS/MPN with excess blasts.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the complete remission rates of ASTX727 and ASTX727 plus venetoclax in subjects with CMML and non-CMML MDS/MPN with excess (\>= 5%) blasts.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the overall response rate (complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\] + marrow response with erythroid response) of ASTX727 versus ASTX727 + venetoclax in this patient population.
II. To determine the overall survival, progression-free survival, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation rate, clearance of the malignant clone, clonality at time of hematologic remission, number of red cell and platelet transfusions required and toxicity of ASTX727 versus ASTX727 + venetoclax.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I (COMBINATION THERAPY): Patients receive ASTX727 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 of each cycle and venetoclax PO QD on days 1-14 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and collection of blood samples throughout the study and undergo buccal swab sample collection at screening.
ARM II (MONO THERAPY): Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD on days 1-5 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who do not have response to treatment may cross over to Arm I. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and collection of blood samples throughout the study and undergo buccal swab sample collection at screening.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years or until death, whichever occurs first.
