About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of Orally Administered HQP1351 in Subjects With Refractory Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL)

A multi-center, open-label, randomized, phase Ib study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of HQP1351 and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of HQP1351 in subjects with CML chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) or with Ph+ ALL, who have experienced resistance or intolerance to at least two tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or in subjects with Ph+ B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL or lymphoid blast phase CML (CML LBP), who have experienced resistance or intolerance to at least one second or later generation TKI.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 40 patients will be randomized at 3:3:2 ratio into one of three HQP1351 monotherapy dose cohorts (Cohort A, B, and C): 30 mg every other day (QOD), 40 mg QOD, and 50 mg QOD, with 15, 15, and 10 patients in Cohort A, B, and C. The first cycle of 28 days is considered as the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period. If the incidence of DLTs exceeds 20% (2 patients) in 50 mg dose cohort during the first cycle of therapy, this dose cohort will be stopped. The randomization will be stratified to 4 groups: T315I mutated CML-CP and CML-AP, T315I un-mutated CML-CP, T315I unmutated CML-AP, and CML-BP and Ph+ ALL to ensure that the subgroups are represented across all dose cohorts. Blood samples will be collected from each subject at specified time points to evaluate the PK of HQP1351. RP2D of HQP1351 will be determined based on the comprehensive analyses of the PK, safety, and efficacy data of the US patients treated with HQP1351, when compared with that in the Chinese patients.

Eligible patients will have disease resistance to or intolerance to at least two TKIs, for patients with T315I mutation, number of pretreated TKIs is not restricted. Patients will be administered HQP1351 orally QOD during a period of 28 days (1 cycle).

Cohort D (HQP1351 + blinatumomab) will enroll patients with relapsed/refractory Ph+ BCP ALL or CML-BP using a dose escalation and expansion design. Patients will be administered HQP1351 orally QOD at an assigned dose with blinatumomab at repeated 42-day cycles. The first cycle of 42 days is considered as the DLT observation period. The initial dose of HQP1351 will be 30 mg QOD.

A Phase 1 study testing Ascentage Pharma HQP1351 bioavailable inhibitor and Blinatumomab in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic and Myeloid Leukemia, run by Ascentage Pharma Group Inc. at 9 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 39 inclusion and 30 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bill Garrett (301-520-3962, Bill.Garrett@ascentage.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of HQP1351 (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04260022, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2025.
