Brief Summary:
This is a dose-escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MAX-40279 in subjects with acute myelogenous leukemia(AML).
Detailed Description:
The class III receptor tyrosine kinase FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), is mutated and activated in about 30% of adult patients with AML. The mutations involve either an internal tandem duplication (ITD) (in about 25% of AML patients) or a point mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) (in about 7% of patients). Patients with mutations in FLT3, particularly those with ITD mutations, have a worse prognosis, with lower rate of complete remission, and lower overall survival . Thus, inhibition of activated FLT3 kinase by a pharmacologic agent is an attractive therapeutic strategy in AML.
The aberrant of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) might be a major reason fot resistance to targeted therapies, and FGFR inhibitors significantly suppress leukemia development in vivo.
MAX-40279 is a dual inhibitor of FLT3 and FGFR. Our goal is to develpe this uqiue dual inhibitor to be a more effective and wider use for AML treatment than the current known FLT3 inhibitors.
