What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose Escalation: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    The DLT was defined as any of the following events during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) using NCI CTCAE v5.0 or ASTCT criteria, whether related or not to the study treatment in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, and if not related to disease progression. Hematologic DLTs included hematologic toxicities, bone marrow hypocellularity, decreased neutrophils lasting, febrile neutropenia, decreased platelet count lasting, anemia (all Grade 4), and Grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Non-hematologic DLTs included any Grade >=3 toxicities except alopecia, Grade 3 fatigue, asthenia, fever, anorexia, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, total parenteral nutrition, hospitalization related events, infection, bleeding, Grade 3 infusion related reaction and laboratory abnormalities, Grade 3 or 4 tumor lysis syndrome and isolated electrolyte abnormalities. Also, DLTs were any treatment related toxicity causing >2 week delay in recovery to baseline/Grade <=1 or requiring dose reduction.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Cycle 1 Day 28. Each cycle duration in induction period was 28 days.

  2. Dose Escalation (Cohort C): Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities

    The DLT was defined as any of the following events during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) using NCI CTCAE v5.0 or ASTCT criteria, whether related or not to the study treatment in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, and if not related to disease progression. Hematologic DLTs included hematologic toxicities, bone marrow hypocellularity, decreased neutrophils lasting, febrile neutropenia, decreased platelet count lasting, anemia (all Grade 4), and Grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Non-hematologic DLTs included any Grade >=3 toxicities except alopecia, Grade 3 fatigue, asthenia, fever, anorexia, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, total parenteral nutrition, hospitalization related events, infection, bleeding, Grade 3 infusion related reaction and laboratory abnormalities, Grade 3 or 4 tumor lysis syndrome and isolated electrolyte abnormalities. Also, DLTs were any treatment related toxicity causing >2 week delay in recovery to baseline/Grade <=1 or requiring dose reduction.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 28. Each cycle duration in induction period was 28 days.

  3. Dose Expansion (Cohorts A1, A2 and D): Composite Complete Remission (CRc) Rate

    The CRc rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had a response of complete remission (CR), CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) according to modified AML International Working Group (IWG) 2003 response criteria.

    Measured: Tumors were assessed on Day 28 of each induction cycle and Day 56 of each maintenance cycle until disease relapse, unacceptable AE, discontinuation, or death, whichever occurred first. Maximum treatment duration was 20.9 weeks.

  4. Dose Expansion (Cohort B): Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a response of CR, CR equivalent, partial remission (PR), CR with limited count recovery (CRL), CRh or hematologic improvement (HI) according to IWG 2023 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) response criteria.

    Measured: Tumors were planned to assess on Day 28 of each induction cycle and Day 56 of each maintenance cycle until disease relapse, unacceptable AE, discontinuation, or death, whichever occurred first.

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Dose Expansion (Cohorts A1, A2, B and D): Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE)

    The RDE of SAR443579 was determined based on the occurrence of DLTs in Cycle 1.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Cycle 1 Day 28. Each cycle duration in induction period was 28 days.

  2. Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion (Cohort A1): Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An SAE was defined as any AE that: resulted in death; or was life-threatening; or required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; or resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was an important medical event. The TEAEs were defined as events that were newly reported or reported to worsen in severity after the first administration of study treatment up to 30 days after the last administration of study treatment.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug administration (Day 1) up to early termination of the study, maximum treatment duration was 117.3 weeks for dose escalation (adult), 12 weeks for dose escalation (pediatric) and 20.9 for dose expansion (Cohort A1).

  3. Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion (Cohort A1): Minimum Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of SAR443579

    Blood samples are collected just before treatment administration during repeated dosing to determine the Ctrough of SAR443579.
