Radiolabeled bleximenib to track how the drug is processed in acute leukemia

An Open-Label Study to Investigate the Absorption, Metabolism, And Excretion (AME) Of 14C-Bleximenib (JNJ-75276617) in Participants With Acute Leukemia

Phase 1 Interventional Janssen Research & Development, LLC · NCT07295951

This study will give radiolabeled bleximenib to people with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia to see how their bodies absorb, break down, and remove the drug.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study administers a 14C-labeled dose of bleximenib to participants with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia who carry KMT2A, NPM1, NUP98, or NUP214 gene alterations and collects timed blood, urine, and stool samples to map absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The radioactive label enables precise tracking of the parent drug and its metabolites over time using radiometric detection and analytical chemistry. Eligibility requires ECOG performance status 0–1, body weight ≥40 kg, and having exhausted or being ineligible for standard therapeutic options. Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/metabolic profiles will be analyzed to inform dosing and further development.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia (≥40 kg) who harbor KMT2A, NPM1, NUP98, or NUP214 alterations, have ECOG 0–1, and have exhausted or are ineligible for available treatments are the intended participants.

Not a fit: Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia, Down syndrome–associated leukemia, active central nervous system disease, recent solid organ transplant recipients, or those without the specified gene alterations are unlikely to benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could clarify dosing, systemic exposure, and metabolite profiles to support safer and more effective use of bleximenib in acute leukemia.

How similar studies have performed: Radiolabeled ADME studies are a well-established drug development tool and have successfully characterized pharmacokinetics for other oncology agents, but applying 14C-bleximenib specifically in acute leukemia is a novel application.
