A Phase II Study of Azacitidine, Venetoclax, and Trametinib in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Harboring RAS Pathway-Activating Mutations.

Introduction: RAS pathway mutations are common mechanisms of resistance to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapies. Trametinib, an oral MEK inhibitor, has been shown to have single-agent activity in relapsed/refractory AML and preclinical synergy with venetoclax.

Methods: We conducted a single-center, open-label, phase 2 trial of the combination of azacitidine, venetoclax, and trametinib in patients with relapsed or refractory AML harboring a RAS pathway-activating mutation.

Results of a Phase 1/2a dose-escalation study of FF-10501-01, an IMPDH inhibitor, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.

FF-10501-01 potently inhibits inosine-5-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), inducing anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) human cell lines resistant to hypomethylating agents. In this Phase 1/2a study, Phase 1 enrolled 38 patients with relapsed/refractory AML ( = 28) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS/CMML,  = 10) to receive FF-10501 oral doses 50-500 mg/m BID for 14 or 21 days out of each 28-day cycle. Fifteen additional patients with HMA-resistant MDS/CMML (Phase 2a) were treated at 400 mg/m BID for 21 days.
