Description
5.1 Primary Objective(s)
To evaluate the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD / recommended phase II dose (RP2D of APG2575 in combination with Pomalidomide/dexamethasone (Pd) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) or immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability, identify DLT and MTD / RP2D of APG2575 in combination with Daratumumab/Lenalidomide/dexamethasone (DRd) in patients with R/R MM.
5.2 Secondary Objective(s)
- a) To determine the efficacy of APG2575 in combination with Pd or with DRd in patients with R/R MM
b) To determine the efficacy of APG2575 in combination with Pd in patients with AL amyloidosis
5.3 Exploratory Objective
- To determine the potential pharmacodynamics and predictive biomarkers relative to treatment outcomes.
Inclusion Criteria

MM patients with Relapsed/Refractory MM per 2016 IMWG criteria, previously treated with at least 1 but not more than 4 prior lines of therapy for MM. Refractory MM, meanwhile, is defined as disease that progresses on salvage therapy or progresses within 60 days of the last treatment.
AL amyloidosis patients meet the following criteria:
i. histochemical diagnosis based on detection by polarizing microscopy of green birefringent material in Congo red-stained tissue specimens, the type must have been confirmed unequivocally.
ii. have at least one prior line of systemic therapy for AL. Patients who do not achieve at least a PR to frontline therapy in 3 months are eligible.
iii. have measurable disease of AL amyloidosis as defined by at least ONE of the following:
• Serum monoclonal protein ≥1.0 g/dl by protein electrophoresis.
• >200 mg of monoclonal protein in the urine on 24-hour electrophoresis.
• Serum differential FLC concentration (dFLC, difference between amyloid forming [involved] and nonamyloid forming [uninvolved] free light chain [FLC]) > 5 mg/dL; OR serum FLC of 7.5 mg/dL provided the κ/λ FLC ratio is abnormal (κ/λ <0.26 for patients with monoclonal λ FLC, κ/λ >1.65 for patients with monoclonal κ FLC).
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤2.
Life expectancy≥6 months.
Adequate hematologic function defined as:
a. ANC ≥1.0 x 109/L independent of growth factor support within 7 days of the first dose with study drug.
b. Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL without transfusion or growth factor support within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.
c. Platelet count ≥ 50 x 109/L without transfusion support within 7 days of the first dose of study drug (for MM patients); or platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L or ≥ 50 x 109/L if bone marrow involvement independent of transfusion support in either (for AL amyloidosis patients).
- Adequate hepatic and renal function defined as:
a. AST and ALT < 3 x ULN (upper limit of normal)
b. Creatinine clearance >30mL/min (for MM patients); or Creatinine ≤3 mg/dL and CrCL ≥25 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula (for AL amyloidosis patients)
c. Bilirubin< 1.5 x ULN (Except if considered secondary to Gilbert’s syndrome and primarily indirect bilirubinemia)
PT/INR ≤2 x ULN and PTT (or aPTT) ≤2 x ULN.
Female subjects who are of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history-no menses for ≥2 year; OR history of hysterectomy; OR history of bilateral tubal ligation; OR history of bilateral oophorectomy). Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry.
Male and female subjects who agree to use highly effective methods of birth control (e.g., condoms, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices [IUDs], sexual abstinence, or sterilized partner) during the period of therapy and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance (For AL amyloidosis patients only).
Exclusion Criteria
MM patients with newly diagnosed MM, previously untreated for MM or only had been treated with localized palliative treatment or steroids less than equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg daily for 4 days). AL amyloidosis patients have not been treated with any systemic therapy, or AL amyloidosis clinically overt multiple myeloma i.e. original CRAB criteria. Extent of marrow plasmacytosis is not prohibitive.
Subject has received antineoplastic therapy within 2 weeks before the date of registration.
Subject has previously received an allogenic stem cell transplant (regardless of timing).
Subjects planning to undergo a stem cell transplant prior to progression of disease on this study, i.e., these subjects should not be enrolled in order to reduce disease burden prior to transplant.
Prior exposure to any BCL-2-directed therapy for MM.
For Arm A only: The subjects show evidence of intolerance to pomalidomide, which is defined as subjects discontinued due to any AEs related to prior pomalidomide treatment;
For Arm B only: The subjects show evidence of intolerance to daratumumab or lenalidomide, which is defined as subjects discontinued due to any AEs related to prior daratumumab or lenalidomide treatment;
Patients any uncontrolled active systemic infection, including but not limited to active hepatitis B or C virus infection, known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.
Subject has peripheral neuropathy ≥grade 3.
Subject has plasma cell leukemia (>2.0*109/L circulating plasma cells by standard differential) or Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia or POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes).
Plasmapheresis <35 days prior to the initiation of study drug. (Note: Subjects with high Mprotein values or hyper-viscosity symptoms during screening may receive plasmapheresis prior to initiating study drug if the previous plasmapheresis was performed >35 days before the plasmapheresis performed during screening (in order to obtain a true baseline M-protein value for efficacy evaluations).
