Study Overview

This is a parallel, Phase 1/Phase 2, randomized, open label, multi-cohort, multi-center study assessing the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of SAR443579 with different agents for treatment in adolescent and/or adult participants with CD123 expressing hematological malignancies.

This protocol is structured as a master protocol (containing common protocol elements). Individual sub-studies will explore SAR443579 with combination partners, which may include approved or investigational agents.

Experimental sub-studies will be tested through 3 parts:

Part 1: dose finding (such as dose escalation/ safety run-in). Part 2: dose optimization (when applicable). Part 3: dose expansion. In each sub-study, a dose escalation will identify preliminary recommended dose for expansion (pRDE) of SAR443579 and its respective combination partner. Following the determination of the preliminary RDE, additional participants will be enrolled in the dose expansion part, or if dose optimization needs to be further evaluated, additional participants will be enrolled in the "dose optimization/expansion" part. Dose optimization and dose expansion part could involve randomization depending on specific sub-study design.

Study will consist of a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period.

Participants will receive study treatment until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, participant's decision to stop study treatment, or completion of the maximum cycles allowed in the sub-studies, or the participant meets other criteria for discontinuation per study protocol (whichever occurs first).

Study Details

Substudy 01:

Title: A Phase 1/Phase 2, open-label, multi-center study, assessing the safety, tolerability and the preliminary efficacy of SAR443579 administered in combination with azacitidine + venetoclax in adult participants with CD123 expressing newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (ND-AML) that are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy

Short title: A study to investigate natural killer cell engager (SAR443579) in combination with azacitidine + venetoclax in adult participants with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia

The expected duration of the study for a participant is approximately about 2.5 years. The study duration includes a screening period, an induction and maintenance. After the end of study treatment participants will enter the follow-up period for up to 2 years.

Planned number of participants:

22 participants planned to be screened, 8 being adults and 14 being elderly; 9-18 participants planned to be enrolled (dose escalation part)

Enrollment will be paused upon completion of Part 1: Dose Escalation. The available data will be reviewed and the recommended doses and schedule for optimization will be selected by the study board. Enrollment in the Part 2: Dose optimization and Part 3: Dose expansion will be provided in a future protocol amendment.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

This study investigates an immune cell therapy, called a natural killer cell engager, in combination with other agents for treating blood cancers that express a marker known as CD123. The study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of this therapy in adolescents and adults with these conditions.

Participants will go through a screening period, followed by treatment and a follow-up period. The study includes three parts: dose finding, dose optimization, and dose expansion. Dose finding will help identify the best dose to use, while dose optimization and expansion will further evaluate and confirm the effectiveness and safety of the therapy. Participants will receive treatment until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to stop.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be 18 years or older with CD123-expressing blood cancers. Those with Acute Myeloid Leukemia who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy due to age or health conditions may qualify. Key health criteria include adequate liver and kidney function.
  • Study details: Participants will receive a combination of therapies, including an immune cell therapy and possibly other investigational agents. The study will determine the best dose to use and assess safety and effectiveness.
  • Study timelines: The study will last approximately 2.5 years.
