Increased levels of TGF-β1 were detected in serum, plasma and BM and positively correlated with both grade of BMF and extent of leukemic cell infiltration in the marrow. TGF-β likely plays a dual role in promoting myelofibrosis and myeloproliferation, both of which are the bone marrow morphologic hallmark of MF. AVID200 is a drug that targets TGF-β1 and TGF-β3. The study team hypothesizes that inhibiting the TGF-β signaling pathway in MF will decrease the fibrogenic stimuli leading to myelofibrosis and concomitantly interrupt myeloproliferation and restore normal hematopoiesis. This is a first in human, open-label, multicenter, Phase I/Ib trial of AVID200. Patients must have intermediate-2 or higher primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-essential thrombocythemia or polycythemia-vera related MF (Post ET/PV MF). This study will enroll up to 24 patients. AVID200 is delivered by IV infusion on day 1 of each 3 week cycle.
This is a first in human, open-label, multicenter, Phase I/Ib trial of AVID200. To date, there is no therapy for MF evaluated in the clinic that clearly demonstrates the ability to target the malignant HSC and result in effective and reproducible bone marrow morphologic, cytogenetic and molecular responses. Medicinal therapies that result in disease course modification are urgently needed in this chronic and progressive myeloid malignancy. TGF-β likely plays a dual role in promoting myelofibrosis and myeloproliferation, both of which are the bone marrow morphologic hallmark of MF. The study team proposes that inhibiting the TGF-β signaling pathway in MF will decrease the fibrogenic stimuli leading to myelofibrosis and concomitantly interrupt myeloproliferation and restore normal hematopoiesis. AVID200 is a fusion protein containing TGF-β receptor ectodomains fused to a human Fc IgG domain. AVID200 is a potent TGFβ trap with antibody-like properties which has pM potency against two of the three TGFβ ligands, TGFβ1 and β3.

dose cohorts of 21-day cycles
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
New York, New York, United States
Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of AVID200
Cohorts of 3 patients with a maximum evaluable sample size of 12 patients and a target toxicity rate of 30% to estimate the MTD. Each cycle is 21 days.
Time frame: After 6 cycles (Each cycle is 21 days)
Number of patients with response eligibility for Phase 1b
Subjects attaining at least a CI (clinical improvement) by IWG/ELN criteria, or a decrease in bone marrow fibrosis by ≥1 grade with otherwise stable disease, will be allowed to continue AVID200 in the extension phase of the trial.
Time frame: After 6 cycles
IWG/ELN criteria
response by IWG/ELN criteria at the end of Cycle 6 and Cycle 12. The IWG/ELN criteria: CR (complete remission), PR (partial remission), Clinical improvement, Anemia response, Spleen response, Symptoms response, PD (progressive disease), SD (stable disease), Relapse, Cytogenetic remission, and Molecular remission
Time frame: After 6 cycles and after 12 cycles (Each cycle is 21 days)
Bone marrow fibrosis grade
bone marrow fibrosis grade at the end of Cycle 6 and 12. Bone marrow fibrosis (MF) is graded as MF-0 to MF-3, with higher number indicating more disease.
Time frame: up to 37 days after 13 cycles (Each cycle is 21 days)
Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF)
MF-SAFv4.0,each of the items are scored 0 to 10, with total summation from 0 to 100, with higher score indicating more symptoms.
Time frame: up to 37 days after 13 cycles (Each cycle is 21 days)
EORTC QLQ-C30
EORTC QLQ-C30, 28 item scored from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much), and 2 items scored 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). Total score from 28 - 126, with higher score indicating poorer health
Time frame: up to 37 days after 13 cycles (Each cycle is 21 days)
