Clinical Trial of BP1001 (Liposomal Grb2 Antisense Oligonucleotide) in Combination With Dasatinib in Patients With Ph + CML Who Have Failed TKI, Ph+ AML, Ph+ MDS

Inclusion Criteria

At the time of Screening, participants must meet all of the following criteria to be considered eligible to participate in the study:

Adults ≥18 years of age
Females must be of non-childbearing potential, surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or practice adequate methods of contraception during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug or dasatinib
Males must agree to use an adequate method of contraception during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug or dasatinib

Histologically documented diagnosis of Ph+ CML including chronic phase patients who have failed initial TKI therapy, accelerated or blast phase, Ph+ AML or High-risk Ph+ MDS.

Ph+ chronic phase CML patients who are resistant to 1 or more TKIs, including dasatinib. Dasatinib-resistant patients can enroll in the Phase Ib portion of the study but are excluded from the Phase IIa portion of the study.

One of the following parameters is required to meet criteria for accelerated CML:

Blasts in Peripheral Blood or Bone Marrow ≥15%
Promyelocytes and Blasts in Peripheral Blood or Bone Marrow ≥30%
PB or BM basophils ≥20%
Thrombocytopenia <100 x 103/ml, not resulting from therapy
Cytogenetic clonal evolution CML blast phase is defined as ≥30% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow, or presence of extramedullary disease, except for liver or spleen.

AML/MDS

Ph+ AML is defined as:

• Ph+ and meets diagnostic criteria for AML

o Myeloid blasts ≥20 % or presence of AML-defining recurrent cytogenetic abnormality.

Ph+ high-risk MDS defined as:

• Ph+ high risk MDS ≥10% myeloid blasts or IPSS ≥intermediate-2

Adequate hepatic and renal functions as defined by:

Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); and
Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times ULN; and
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 40 ml/min. These estimations can be calculated using any of the following methods (Appendix D):

i. Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-Epi) equation

GFR = 141 × min (Scr /κ, 1)α × max(Scr /κ, 1)-1.209 × 0.993Age × 1.018 [if female] × 1.159 [if black] ii. Cockcroft gault equation
Cockcroft Gault equation utilizing the TBW (Total body weight) to calculate an estimated creatinine clearance iii. CrCl = [(140 - age) x TBW] / (Scr x 72) x 0.85 [if female]
Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation iv. GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = 175 × (Scr)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × 0.74 [if female] x 1.212 [if African American (AA)]
Creatinine clearance estimated by 24-hr urine collection for creatinine clearance
Documented Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
Recovered from the effects of any prior surgery, radiotherapy, or antineoplastic treatment (with the exception of alopecia), based on Investigator assessment
Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

At the time of Screening, participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

Patients with T315I mutation will not be excluded, but their response will be analyzed separately.
Another primary malignancy other than CML, AML, or MDS within the past 2 years except non-melanoma skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
Known, active leptomeningeal leukemia requiring intrathecal therapy. NOTE: Patients with a history of CNS disease may be allowed to participate based on at least 2 consecutive documented, negative spinal fluid assessment prior to Screening
Isolated extramedullary leukemia without also meeting bone marrow criteria for acute leukemia (i.e., ≥20% blasts in bone marrow aspirate)
Receipt of any anti-cancer therapy within 14 days of starting BP1001, with the exception of hydroxyurea or anagrelide, or TKI (within 2 days)
Uncontrolled active, untreated, or progressive infection
Receipt of any investigational agent within 14 days or 5 half-lives of starting BP1001
Females who are pregnant, test positive for pregnancy, or are breast-feeding during the Screening period, or intend to become pregnant or breast-feed during the course of the study or within 30 days after last dose of study drug
Prior exposure to BP1001
Patients with a history of intolerance to dasatinib or for whom dasatinib may not be appropriate
Serious intercurrent medical or psychiatric illness which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the ability of the participant to complete the study
Known active or clinically significant hepatitis B infection (based on positive surface antigen [HBsAg]), hepatitis C infection (based on positive antibody [HCV Ab]), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or HIV-2, based on positive antibody)
Presence of concurrent conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator and/or Medical Monitor, may compromise the participant's ability to tolerate study treatment or interfere with any aspect of study conduct or interpretation of results. This includes but is not limited to, unstable or uncontrolled angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV congestive heart failure, uncontrolled and sustained hypertension, clinically significant cardiac dysrhythmia or clinically significant ECG abnormality (e.g., QTcF >470 msec)
Has had any of the following: clinically significant pleural effusion within 2 months, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 6 months.
Uncontrolled seizure disorder (i.e., seizures within the past 2 months).
Unable or unwilling to communicate or cooperate with the Investigator or follow the protocol for any reason
