GlycoMimetics Announces Independent Presentations on Uproleselan at American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting including New Clinical Data in Treated Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia
“We are excited by the results from this IIT demonstrating the safety and preliminary efficacy of uproleselan in ts-AML patients, a group with few treatment options and persistent high unmet need,” said
Uproleselan Added to Cladribine Plus Low Dose Cytarabine (LDAC) in Patients with Treated Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia (TS-AML)

Session: 616. Acute Myeloid Leukemias: Investigational Therapies, Excluding Transplantation and Cellular Immunotherapies: Poster II

- This Phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluated safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of uproleselan added to cladribine and LDAC in patients with ts-AML.
- This rare, high-risk study population is defined by prior chemotherapy treatment of a previous hematologic disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome. Median survival of ts-AML patients is less than 5 months.
- A majority of the 20 patients enrolled in this IIT were male (n=14), and median age of enrolled patients was 72 years. All patients had unfavorable cytogenetics and had previously received treatment with a hypomethylating agent. Also, 11 patients (55%) had received prior treatment with venetoclax, and five (25%) had undergone stem cell transplantation.
- At a median follow-up of 8.1 months, results from 18 evaluable patients showed that cladribine and LDAC combined with uproleselan generated few treatment-related adverse events. The combination produced an overall response in 7 (39%) patients and reduced bone marrow blasts (morphologic leukemia-free state) in 13 (72%) patients. Median overall survival was 5.3 months.
- Disease responses were seen irrespective of previous hypomethylating agent and venetoclax exposure. Three patients went on to receive a potentially curative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Study investigators concluded these data support this low-risk approach to marrow blast reduction and disease control in preparation for HCT.
Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial – Developing New Therapies for Relapsed Leukemias (APAL2020SC)
Presenter:
Session: 613. Acute Myeloid Leukemias: Clinical and Epidemiological: Poster I
Time and Location:
Poster Number: 1492
-
This poster reports progress to date of the PedAL Initiative, a screening trial (APAL2020SC/NCT0472624) sponsored by the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society inNorth America ,Australia and New Zealand . Primary aims of PedAL are (1) to use clinical and biological characteristics to screen for eligibility for therapeutic sub-trials; and (2) to maintain a longitudinal data registry and biobank for relapsed leukemia. As a screening protocol, PedAL serves as the entry point for associated therapeutic sub-trials. -
One participating sub-trial is a
National Cancer Institute sponsored Phase 1 dose escalation study (APAL2020E/PEPN2113), which assesses safety and preliminary activity of uproleselan plus fludarabine and high dose cytarabine in pediatric AML patients after 2 or more prior therapies. Expected enrollment of 18 patients has begun with the first patient receiving study therapy in late 2023.
