Leukemia Acute Myeloid

This study is testing a new treatment combination called RAVEN, which includes revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax, in patients who are newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) called KMT2A- translocated AML. People with this type of AML often have poor outcomes, so new treatments are needed that may work better and cause fewer side effects. The study has two parts: 1. Induction Phase: Patients will receive treatment for up to 3 cycles. Each cycle lasts 28 days. The goal is to help the leukemia go into remission. 2. Continuation Phase: After remission and blood count recovery, patients will continue treatment until the leukemia returns, side effects become too severe, the patient receives a stem cell transplant, or another reason to stop treatment occurs. Patients who receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant (stem cells from a donor) may also join a separate part of the study to test revumenib as maintenance treatment after transplant.

CP-MGD024-01 is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center study of MGD024 as a single agent in participants with select blood cancers that have not responded to treatment with standard therapies or who have relapsed after treatment. The study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (affect of the body on the drug), pharmacodynamic (affect of the drug on the body), immunogenicity (development of antibodies against the drug), and preliminary anti-cancer effect of MGD024. Participants will receive treatment with MGD024 in consecutive 28-day cycles for a study treatment period of up to 12 cycles (approximately 1 year) or until treatment or study discontinuation criteria are met. Response assessments will be performed after Cycle 1 and then after every even numbered cycle starting with Cycle 2 until progression or study treatment discontinuation. Participants will be checked for side effects throughout the study.

A first-in-class adoptive immunotherapy we called ThINKK, for Therapeutic Inducers of Natural Killer (NK) cell Killing, have been designed for use after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), where the proper stimulation of graft-derived NK cells has been shown to prevent relapse. ThINKK immunotherapy builds on our earlier research on NK cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) in cord blood and after HSCT. PDC are the sentinels of the immune system. Upon viral nucleic acids detection, PDC secrete a vast array of chemokines and cytokines that stimulate NK cells. PDC stimulation enhances NK cells killing of infected cells that express stress-induced molecules. Cancer cells also express stress-related molecules at their surface. However, NK cells do not receive PDC stimulation when fighting cancer. ThINKK therapy is designed to provide this necessary stimulation.
