ADC Therapeutics S.A.35 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates ADCT-402 in participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Participants will participate in a dose-escalation phase (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 2, participants will receive the dose level identified in Part 1.

Study ADCT-402-102 is the first clinical study with ADCT-402 in participants with B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). ADCT-402 is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized antibody directed against human cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19), stochastically conjugated via a valine-alanine cleavable, maleimide linker to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer cytotoxin. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1 (dose escalation) participants will receive an infusion of ADCT-402 either on weekly administration or every 3-week administration. participants on weekly administration will receive an infusion of ADCT-402 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 3 week treatment cycle. Participants on 3-week administration will receive an infusion of ADCT-402 on Day 1, every 3 weeks. Dose escalation will continue until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. In Part 2 (expansion), all participants will be assigned to the recommended dose and/or schedule of ADCT-402 identified in Part 1 by the Dose Escalation Steering Committee. For each patient, the study will include a screening period (up to 28 days), a treatment period (until withdrawal), and a follow-up period to assess disease progression and survival for up to 12 months after the last dose of study drug. The total study duration will be dependent on overall patient tolerability to the study drug and response to treatment. It is anticipated that the duration of the entire study (Parts 1 and 2) could be approximately 3 years from first patient treated to last patient completed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

A DLT is defined as any of the following events, except those that are clearly due to underlying disease or extraneous causes: A hematologic DLT is defined as: \- Grade 3 or higher event of neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, or a Grade 4 anemia, with a hypocellular bone marrow lasting for 6 weeks or more after the start of a cycle, in the absence of residual leukemia (i.e., with \<5% blasts). In case of a normocellular bone marrow with \<5% blasts, 8 weeks with ≥Grade 3 pancytopenia will be considered a DLT. A non-hematologic DLT is defined as: * Grade 4 tumor lysis syndrome (Grade 3 TLS will not constitute DLT unless it leads to irreversible end-organ damage). * Grade 3 or higher AE (including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalances lasting more than 48 hours despite optimal therapy; excluding all grades of alopecia). * CTCAE Grade 3 or higher hypersensitivity reaction (regardless of premedication). * CTCAE Grade 3 or higher skin ulceration.

Time frame: Day 1 to End of Cycle 1 (3 weeks)

Recommended Dose of ADCT-402 for Part 2

The recommended dose was to be established by the dose escalation steering committee and based on safety findings during part 1 of the study.

Time frame: Day 1 to End of Cycle 1 (3 weeks)

Number of Participants Reporting at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participants enrolled into this study regardless of its causal relationship to study drug. A TEAE is defined as any event not present before exposure to study drug or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug.

Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 12 weeks after last dose (up to 39 weeks)

Number of Participants Reporting at Least One Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant enrolled into this study regardless of its causal relationship to study drug. A treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) is defined as any event not present before exposure to study drug or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug. An SAE is defined as any event that results in death, is immediately life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Secondary Outcomes

Overall Response Rate (ORR)

ORR is defined as the number of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete blood count recovery (Cri) or partial response (PR) at the time each participant discontinues treatment with ADCT-402. CR is defined as achieving each of the following: * Bone marrow differential showing ≤5% blast cells. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 x 10\^9/L and platelet count ≥100 x 10\^9/L. * Absence of extramedullary disease. * Participant is independent of red blood cell transfusions. Cri is defined as achieving all CR criteria except that values for ANC may be \<1.0 x 10\^9/L and/or values for platelets may be \<100 x 10\^9/L. PR is defined as achieving each of the following: * ANC ≥1.0 x 10\^9/L and platelet count ≥100 x 10\^9/L. * Bone marrow differential showing a ≥50% decrease from baseline in the percentage of bone marrow blast cells to a level \>5% and ≤25%, or bone marrow differential showing \<5% blast cells.

Time frame: From 6 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 3 and 5, and at each subsequent cycle, until discontinuation, assessed up to 12 months after last dose of study drug

Duration of Response

Duration of response is defined among responders (complete response \[CR\], complete response with incomplete blood count recovery \[Cri\], and partial response \[PR\]) as the time from the earliest date of first response until the first date of either disease progression or death due to any cause. Disease progression is defined as: * For participants with CR or CRi, the first date of reappearance of blast cells in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood to a level ≥5%, or development of extramedullary disease. * For participants with PR, the first date of an increase in blast cells in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood such that the patient does not continue to meet the criteria for PR.

Time frame: From 6 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 3 and 5, and at each subsequent cycle, until discontinuation, assessed up to 12 months after last dose of study drug

Overall Survival

Overall survival is defined as the time from the first dose of study drug treatment until the date of death due to any cause.

Time frame: From 6 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 3 and 5, and at each subsequent cycle, until discontinuation, assessed up to 12 months after last dose of study drug

Progression-free Survival

Progression-free survival is defined among the efficacy population as the time from first dose of study drug until the first date of either disease progression or death due to any cause.

Time frame: From 6 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 3 and 5, and at each subsequent cycle, until discontinuation, assessed up to 12 months after last dose of study drug
