About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of Evorpacept (ALX148) in Combination With Venetoclax and Azacitidine in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (ASPEN-05)

This Phase 1/2 clinical study will evaluate evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Read the detailed description

The Phase 1 will consist of a dose escalation of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine to evaluate safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. The Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine for patients with AML. While intended to be a Phase 1/2 clinical study, the study never moved forward to Phase 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing evorpacept, venetoclax and azacitidine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and AML, Adult, run by ALX Oncology Inc. at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: While intended to be a Phase 1/2 clinical study, the study never moved forward to Phase 2.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 1: Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) (time frame: Up to 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04755244, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Nov 2024.
