About this study
Official title: A Phase I Study of Tagraxofusp With or Without Chemotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD123 Expressing Hematologic Malignancies
Tagraxofusp is a protein-drug conjugate consisting of a diphtheria toxin redirected to target CD123 has been approved for treatment in pediatric and adult patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). This trial aims to examine the safety of this novel agent in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.
The mechanism by which tagraxofusp kills cells is distinct from that of conventional chemotherapy. Tagraxofusp directly targets CD123 that is present on tumor cells, but is expressed at lower or levels or absent on normal hematopoietic stem cells. Tagraxofusp also utilizes a payload that is not cell cycle dependent, making it effective against both highly proliferative tumor cells and also quiescent tumor cells.

The rationale for clinical development of tagraxofusp for pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies is based on the ubiquitous and high expression of CD123 on many of these diseases, as well as the highly potent preclinical activity and robust clinical responsiveness in adults observed to date.
This trial includes two parts: a monotherapy phase and a combination chemotherapy phase. This design will provide further monotherapy safety data and confirm the FDA approved pediatric dose, as well as provide safety data when combined with chemotherapy.
The goal of this study is to improve survival rates in children and young adults with relapsed hematological malignancies, determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tagraxofusp given alone and in combination with chemotherapy, as well as to describe the toxicities, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic properties of tagraxofusp in pediatric patients.
About 54 children and young adults will participate in this study. Patients with Down syndrome will be included in part 1 of the study.

| AzacitidineAlso: AZA, Vidaza* 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously or intravenously will be given daily over 15 minutes for 5 days on days 1 through 5. * Azacitidine will be given 30-60 minutes before beginning the tagraxofusp infusion. | Drug | Part 2 - Cohort C |
| MethotrexateAlso: MTX, AmethopterinGive intrathecally: * 8 mg for patients age 1-1.99 * 10 mg for patients age 2-2.99 * 12 mg for patients 3-8.99 years of age * 15 mg for patients ≥9 years of age | Drug | Part 1, Part 2 - Cohort A, Part 2 - Cohort B, Part 2 - Cohort C |
| Cytarabine ITAlso: CytosarGive intrathecally: * 30 mg for patients age 1-1.99 * 50 mg for patients age 2-2.99 * 70 mg for patients ≥3 years of age If given as part of Triple IT Therapy: AML Patients: Age 1-1.99 - 24 mg Age 2-2.99 - 30 mg Age ≥3 years of age - 36 mg AML Patients: Age 1-1.99 - 16 mg Age 2-2.99 - 20 mg Age 3-8.99 - 24 mg Age ≥9 years of age - 30 mg | Drug | Part 1, Part 2 - Cohort A, Part 2 - Cohort B, Part 2 - Cohort C |
| HydrocortisoneGiven intrathecally. AML Patients: Age 1-1.99 - 16 mg Age 2-2.99 - 20 mg Age ≥3 years of age - 24 mg AML Patients: Age 1-1.99 - 8 mg Age 2-2.99 - 10 mg Age 3-8.99 - 12 mg Age ≥9 years of age - 15 mg | Drug | Part 1, Part 2 - Cohort A, Part 2 - Cohort B, Part 2 - Cohort C |
Primary outcome
Occurrence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during cycle 1 of therapy
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (21 days for Part 1, and 28 days for Part 2)
The incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be measured at different dose levels.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Tagraxofusp, Fludarabine and Cytarabine in people with Hematologic Malignancy and AML, run by Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia Consortium at 31 sites in 2 countries.
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 70 inclusion and 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 31 sites in United States, Australia. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Benjamin N Brookhart (323-361-5429, bbrookhart@chla.usc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Occurrence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during cycle 1 of therapy (time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (21 days for Part 1, and 28 days for Part 2)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Dec 2024.
