A Phase 1 Study of CG009301 for Injection in Adult Subjects With Recurrent or Refractory Haematological Malignancies

Official title

A Phase 1, Open-label, Multicentre Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Characteristics, and Preliminary Efficacy of CG009301 for Injection in Adult Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Haematological Malignancies

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of drug CG009301. It also learns if drug CG009301 works to treat in Participants with relapsed or refractory adult haematological malignancies. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or objective best dose (OBD) of CG009301 for injection in subjects with relapsed or refractory adult haematological malignancies. 2. To establish subsequent dosing regimens for CG009301 for injection. 3. To characterise the safety profile and tolerability of CG009301 for injection. Participants will Receive treatment with CG009301 until disease progression.

Dose-expansion phase: must meet one of the following criteria: a. Subjects meeting AML diagnostic criteria based on WHO 2022 5th edition classification, confirmed by bone marrow cytomorphology, including AML evolving from early-stage MDS or MPN. Criteria for recurrent AML: Leukaemic cells reappearing in peripheral blood after CR, or >5% blast/immature cells in bone marrow, or extramedullary leukaemic infiltration. Criteria for refractory AML: - Treatment-naïve cases unresponsive to two standard-regimen cycles; - Relapse within 12 months after consolidation/intensification therapy following CR; - Relapse after 12 months unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy; Patients with two or more relapses; Persistent extramedullary leukaemia; b. Patients diagnosed with high-risk or very high-risk MDS according to the WHO 2022 5th edition classification, with a percentage of blasts in bone marrow smear or biopsy pathology < 20%, and deemed by the investigator to have no other appropriate treatment options. Diagnostic criteria for recurrent MDS: Following achievement of complete remission, partial remission, or haematological improvement, at least one of the following must occur: - Bone marrow blastic count returns to pre-treatment levels; - ANC or PLT decreases by ≥50% from best response; - HGB decreases by ≥15 g/L or becomes transfusion-dependent. Diagnostic criteria for refractory MDS: Following adequate treatment (at least four cycles of demethylating agent therapy), meeting the IWG 2023 response criteria for "stable disease", "failure", or "disease progression"; progression after demethylating agent or other drug therapy, or patient intolerance to toxicity (e.g., treatment-related grade 3 or higher hepatic or renal toxicity during therapy leading to permanent discontinuation); c.
