Phase 1b Study of IDH Inhibition With Enasidenib and MEK Inhibition With Cobimetinib in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Have Co-Occurring IDH2 and RAS Signaling Gene Mutations

21751

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a enasidenib in combination with cobimetinib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cobimetinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving enasidenib and cobimetinib may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Coadministration of enasidenib may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives * Childbearing potential defined as not being surgically sterilized (men and women) or have not been free from menses for \> 1 year (women only). * Also, male subjects should refrain from sperm donation from the start of treatment throughout the study treatment period and for 6 months following the last dose of treatment Exclusion Criteria: * Current or planned use of other investigational agents, antineoplastic, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy or major surgery within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy (exception: hydroxyurea is allowed in cycles 1 and 2 for control of rapidly progressing leukemia or for treatment of enasidenib-related leukocytosis) * Systemic steroid therapy \> 10 mg/day (=\< 10mg/day prednisone equivalent ok) or any other form of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days, except as required for treatment of differentiation syndrome * Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors only allowed on principal Investigator approval) within 14 days prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy * Foods/supplements that are strong and moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A (such as grapefruit, Seville oranges, starfruit and St. John's wort) within 7 days prior to initiation of and during study treatment * Received a live-virus vaccination within 28 days of planned treatment start * Concurrent use of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GMCSF) or granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), erythropoietin, eltrombopag, or other hematopoietic growth factors 14 days prior to start of study * Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association Classification * Participants with clinically significant arrhythmia or arrhythmias not stable on medical management within two weeks of enrollment.
