  6. Subject has active HBV or HCV infections; Subject has known positive HIV antibody results, or AIDS-related illness.
  7. Subject has an active severe infection that requires anti-infective therapy or has an unexplained temperature of >38.5°C during screening visits or on their first day of study treatment.
  8. Subject has an uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
  9. Subject has QTcF >470 msec or other factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or arrhythmic events.
  10. Subject has any other medical or psychological condition, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to sign informed consent/assent, cooperate, or participate in the study.
  11. Subject has known allergies or hypersensitivities to:

    • All subjects: components of the FHD-286 formulation
    • Arm A: cytarabine or any of the excipients
    • Arm B: decitabine or any of the excipients
  12. Subject is unable to tolerate the administration of oral medication or has GI dysfunction that would preclude adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of FHD-286.
  13. Subject is receiving any other anticancer investigational agents. Investigational agents to treat non-cancer indications may be permitted with Sponsor approval.
  14. Exclusion Criteria #14 was removed.

  16. Subject is on medications with narrow TIs that are sensitive P-gp or BCRP substrates and are administered orally or on medications classified as strong inhibitors of P-gp or BCRP.
  17. Administration of PPIs should be stopped or switched to another ARA 7 days before administration of FHD-286.
  18. Subject is requiring clinically significant or increasing doses of systemic steroid therapy or any other systemic immunosuppressive medication. Local or targeted steroid and immunosuppressive therapies are acceptable. Appropriate steroid replacement to manage endocrine toxicities resulting from prior anticancer systemic therapy is permitted.

Preliminary Results from a Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of FHD-286, a Novel BRG1/BRM (SMARCA4/SMARCA2) Inhibitor, Administered As an Oral Monotherapy in Patients with Advanced Hematologic Malignancies

November 28, 2023

As of 02 Aug 2022, 40 patients with a median age of 65.5 years (range 25 to 84) with R/R AML (36 patients) or MDS (4 patients) had received at least 1 dose of FHD-286. 67.5% of patients had received ≥3 prior lines of therapy for AML/MDS/other antecedent hematologic disorder, with 22.5% having received ≥5 prior lines. 32.5% of patients had prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant. 65% of patients had adverse risk genetics by 2017 ELN recommendations.

85% of patients experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of any grade; the most common (≥20% of patients) were dry mouth (27.5%), increased blood bilirubin (22.5%), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased and rash (20% each). 50% of patients experienced a Grade ≥3 TRAE, the most common of which was increased blood bilirubin (12.5%); stomatitis, ALT increased, differentiation syndrome (DS), and hypocalcemia occurred in 7.5% (each).

2 DLTs were reported: Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia in 1 patient receiving 5 mg QD and Grade 3 muscular weakness in 1 patient receiving 10 mg QD.

Treatment-related DS of any grade was investigator-reported in 4 patients (10%). An independent adjudication committee determined that the rate of suspected DS was 15% (6 patients).

16 patients (15 AML; 1 MDS) had a best overall response of stable disease. Markers of myeloid differentiation with neutrophil recovery and reductions in bone marrow and/or peripheral blasts have been observed in a subset of patients in the study who had a broad range of cytogenetic backgrounds, including patients with enhancer-driven leukemias such as MECOM and KMT2A.
