Abstract
Long-term survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains low, and current treatment modalities are inadequate. Milademetan (DS-3032, RAIN-32), a small-molecule specific murine double minute 2 inhibitor, has shown a p53 status-dependent antitumor effect in vitro studies. This is the first phase I study report of milademetan monotherapy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML patients evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary tumor response for further clinical development. Fourteen patients received 90 (starting dose, n = 4), 120 (n = 6), or 160 mg (n = 4) of oral milademetan once daily in a 14/28 treatment cycle. The median total treatment duration was 1.5 cycles. Dose-limiting toxicity did not occur, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Thus, the recommended dose was defined as 160 mg. The most common adverse events (AEs) were decreased appetite (64.3%), febrile neutropenia (50%), nausea (42.9%), and anemia (35.7%). No deaths or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred. Five serious treatment-emergent AEs occurred in 4 patients. Plasma concentration increased linearly with milademetan dose. However, trends in the safety and efficacy of oral milademetan in patients with R/R AML warrant further clinical investigation. This study can inform future milademetan studies in hematologic malignancies.
