Dose Limiting Toxicities Due to Flotetuzumab Primary · Up to 29 days

Number and percentage of patients experiencing dose limiting toxicities during cycle 1 that are possibly, probably, or definitely due to flotetuzumab by dose level and study part.

GroupValue95% CI
Part A Dose Level 1: 500 Nanograms/kg/Day1
Part A Dose Level 2: 700 Nanograms/kg/Day1
Maximum Tolerated Dose or Recommended Phase 2 Dose of Flotetuzumab Primary · Up to 29 days

Estimated maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Flotetuzumab defined by the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of toxicity-evaluable participants experience a DLT. RP2D was established by study committee based off the toxicity profile of DL1 (500 ng/kg/day).

GroupValue95% CI
Treatment (Flotetuzumab, Cytarabine)500
Maximum Concentration (C Max) Secondary · Up to 9 days

Median with Minimum and Maximum for the maximum (peak) serum concentration measured on days 3-9 post-administration by dose level and study part.

GroupValue95% CI
Part A Dose Level 1: 500 Nanograms/kg/Day108.60.0 – 139.6
Part A Dose Level 2: 700 Nanograms/kg/Day147.617.3 – 1835.4
Antitumor Activity of Flotetuzumab Secondary · Up to 2 years

Number of response evaluable participants with response (CR/PR) using revised AML International Working Group criteria for response including CR: M1 bone marrow (\<5% blasts), ANC at least 1000/mm3 and platelet count at least 100,000/mm3; CRp: platelet transfusion independence; CRi: without platelet transfusion independence, CRc: revision to normal karyotype; PR: decrease at least 50% in percentage of blasts to 5% to 25% in bone marrow aspirate.

GroupValue95% CI
Part A Dose Level 1:500 Nanograms/kg/Day1
Part A Dose Level 2: 700 Nanograms/kg/Day1

Sponsor's own description

This phase I trial studies the side effects, best dose of flotetuzumab and how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). This study also determines the safest dose of flotetuzumab to use in children with AML. As an immunotherapy, flotetuzumab may also cause changes in the body's normal immune system, which are also under study in this trial.
