Using eganelisib alone and with cytarabine for treating relapsed/refractory AML

Official title: A Phase 1b Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Eganelisib as Monotherapy and in Combination With Cytarabine in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Eganelisib in Combination With Azacitidine in PI3K-Gamma-Positive Patients With Previously Untreated Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Run by Stelexis BioSciences · NCT06533761 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a new drug called eganelisib, used alone or with another drug called cytarabine, can help people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults with relapsed or refractory AML or higher-risk MDS who have a specific percentage of bone marrow blasts.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have undergone stem cell transplants recently or are currently on immunosuppressants may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1b open-label study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of eganelisib, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with cytarabine, for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS). The study is divided into two parts: a dose escalation phase to determine the appropriate dosage and a dose optimization phase to refine treatment protocols. It aims to assess pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor efficacy in a multicenter setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat forms of AML and HR-MDS.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies have shown promise in targeting AML with combination therapies.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Part 1: Pathological diagnosis of either: AML according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 revised criteria per the local pathology report and with ≥10% bone marrow blasts (acute promyelocytic leukemia is excluded but secondary AML and treatment-related AML can be included); Higher-risk (IPSS-R Intermediate, High or Very High Risk at time of study entry) myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS) according to WHO 2022 revised criteria per the local pathology report and with ≥10% bone marrow blasts.
* Part 2: Pathological diagnosis of previously untreated HR-MDS according to WHO 2022 revised criteria, with bone marrow blasts ≥5% and \<20%; Moderate or higher PI3K-Gamma in bone marrow blasts, as determined by an IHC assay; Deemed by the Investigator to require frontline therapy with azacitidine.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2.
* Adequate hepatic and renal function measured within 7 days prior to the first dose of eganelisib.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within 6 months prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
* Receiving immunosuppressants (eg, cyclosporin) or systemic steroids (except for steroid use as cortisol replacement therapy in documented adrenal insufficiency).
* Active fungal disease or uncontrolled infection of any kind; patients receiving antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral treatment must be afebrile and hemodynamically stable for \>72 hours prior to treatment
* WBC count \>25 × 10\^9/L measured within 7 days prior to the first dose of eganelisib (hydroxyurea is permitted to decrease the WBC count).
* Presence of a clinically significant non-hematologic toxicity of prior therapy that has not resolved to Grade ≤1 or Baseline, whichever is worst, as determined by NCI CTCAE v 5.0, except alopecia or skin pigmentation. Fatigue and neuropathy must have resolved to Grade ≤2.
