Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is * To assess the safety and tolerability of PEP07 administered orally as a single dose and at escalating dose levels, and, to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of study treatment in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). * To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of PEP07 monotherapy. Participants will receive PEP07 administered orally once daily (QD) for 2 consecutive days and 5 days off, every week for 4 weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, confirmed pregnancy, death, consent withdrawal, HSCT or other anti-cancer treatment is required, or the Sponsor ends the study, whichever occurs first.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is an early-phase study testing a new experimental drug called PEP07, which targets a protein involved in cancer cell growth (Checkpoint Kinase 1), in people with advanced blood cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that have come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have relapsed or treatment-resistant AML, or relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after at least two prior treatments - You are in reasonably good health (ECOG score 0–2) - Your kidney, liver, and heart function are within acceptable ranges - If female, you have a negative pregnancy test before starting treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have not been diagnosed with AML or MCL - Your organ function does not meet the study's requirements - You have significant side effects from prior treatments that have not resolved - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You are unable to use effective contraception if you could become pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
