A Phase 1/2 Study of the Oral Janus Kinase 1 Inhibitors INCB052793 and Itacitinib Alone or in Combination With Standard Therapies for Advanced Hematologic Malignancies

Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc..

BACKGROUND: The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of various hematologic malignancies. JAK1-regulated cytokines stimulate proliferation and growth of malignant cells and resistance to certain therapies.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This phase 1/2 study evaluated 2 oral, novel JAK1 inhibitors (INCB052793 and itacitinib) in advanced hematologic malignancies. Phase 1a assessed dose escalation and expansion of INCB052793 monotherapy. Phase 1b evaluated INCB052793 plus standard therapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Phase 2 evaluated INCB052793 or itacitinib plus azacitidine in DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi)-refractory AML or MDS. Primary endpoints included safety and tolerability for phase 1, and objective response rate for phase 2.

RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients were enrolled, all received study treatment and discontinued either treatment or participation in the study. The most common reasons for treatment discontinuation were progressive disease (35.4% and 50.0%) and adverse events (22.9% and 20.0%) for INCB052793 and itacitinib plus azacitidine, respectively. In phase 1, 12 of 39 patients (31%) achieved an objective response; 35 mg once daily was selected as the phase 2 dose. Two patients with DNMTi-refractory disease had an objective response in phase 2. The study was terminated for lack of efficacy.

CONCLUSION: Inhibition of JAK1 with INCB052793 (monotherapy or combination therapy) or itacitinib plus azacitidine did not demonstrate clinically meaningful responses in these patients with hematopoietic malignancies.
