Session title: Acute myeloid leukemia - Clinical

Background
FF-10101-01 is a selective and irreversible FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor with potent in vitro activity against FLT3-mutated AML. FF-10101-01 is highly active against FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations associated with high relapse and low survival/remission rates, as well as resistance-conferring D835 and F691 tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) and non-canonical FLT3 activating mutations.

Aims
Here we report on a Phase 1 dose escalation trial examining the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of FF-10101-01 in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory primary or secondary AML.

Methods
To determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, pts with or without a FLT3 mutation received FF-10101-01 orally once (QD) or twice (BID) daily until unacceptable toxicity was observed or pts had no further clinical benefit (1 cycle = 28 days). Composite complete remission (CRc) and partial remission (PR) rates were assessed. Inhibition of FLT3 phosphorylation was evaluated using a plasma inhibitory activity assay and was correlated with associated FF-10101-01 exposure.

Results
Fifty-two pts [median age 61 (range, 21-84); 52% female; FLT3: ITD [22 (42%)], TKD [5 (10%)], ITD+TKD [1 (2%)], Wt [24 (46%)] received continuous dosing of FF-10101-01 at 10 - 225 mg QD or 50 - 100 mg BID. Median number of prior therapies was 3 (range, 0-6) and the majority [23/28 (82%)] of pts with known FLT3 mutations had received prior FLT3 inhibitors. The median duration on study was 5.7 (range, 0.1-36) weeks. FF-10101-01 was generally well-tolerated up to total daily doses of 150 mg. The most common treatment related adverse events included nausea [n=18 (35%)], diarrhea [14 (27%), 2 Grade (Gr) 3/4], elevations in creatine kinase [CK; 14 (27%), 4 Gr 3/4], vomiting [10 (19%)] and increased AST [10 (19%), 2 Gr 3]. Grade 3/4 differentiation syndrome (n=4, 8%) was observed at 75 - 150 mg/day. Dose-limiting cardiac toxicity (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; Gr 3 increased troponin/CK) was observed at total daily doses ≥200 mg. The CRc rate was 13% (4/30 pts evaluable for response): 1 CR at 75 mg BID (FLT3-ITD); 1 CRp at 100 mg BID (Wt-FLT3); and 2 CRi’s at 50 mg BID, one that previously progressed on gilteritinib. The median time to overall response was ~13.3 weeks. Four pts achieved a PR (≥50% decrease in BM blasts to 5 - 25% abnormal cells) at total daily doses of 50 - 150 mg; 2 had ITD mutations, and all had received prior FLT3 kinase inhibitors. At ≥75 mg BID, trough plasma concentrations were >90 ng/ml and associated with >90% p-FLT3 inhibition maintained over the dosing interval.

Conclusion
The FF-10101-01 FLT3 inhibitor has shown activity in pts with refractory/relapsed AML, including those with activating FLT3-ITD mutations resistant to gilteritinib and other FLT3 kinase inhibitors. Doses of 50-75 mg BID were well tolerated and resulted in sustained FLT3 inhibition.
