A Pilot Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Escalating Doses of ON 01910.Na in Patients With Relapsed Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Related Lymphoid Malignancies

Background:

- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM),
and other lymphoid malignancies are all incurable lymphoid malignancies that mainly
affect persons in their late 60s and early 70s. Conventional chemotherapy can achieve
high rates of clinical response, but relapse following these responses is almost
universal. Patients with lymphoid malignancies relapse because their tumor cells become
resistant to chemotherapy; therefore, new types of drugs are needed for better treatment
responses.

- The investigational drug ON 01910.Na has been shown to be active against MCL and CLL
cells, but further research is needed to determine the most safe and effective dose for
this drug.

Objectives:

- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (the highest dose that does not cause
unacceptable side effects) of ON 01910.Na in patients with cancers of the lymphoid
cells.

- To study the effects that ON 01910.Na has on cancers of the lymphoid cells.

Eligibility:

- Patients 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with cancer of the lymphoid
cells, and who have not been able to take or have not benefitted from existing treatment
options.

Design:

- Evaluations before the treatment period:

- Full medical history and physical examination, and pregnancy test for women.

- Blood and urine tests.

- Disease evaluation with computerized tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), electrocardiogram; bone marrow and lymph node biopsies; and skeletal x-rays, if
clinically indicated.

- Treatment with ON 01910.Na:

- Different research subjects will receive increasing doses of ON 01910.Na to determine
which dose is considered safe.

- To reduce the risk of one rare serious side effect of treatment for myeloid
malignancies, patients will take allopurinol 12 hours before and 7 days after each drug
infusion, one 300 mg pill each day.

- Cycles 1 2: Patients will be admitted to the clinical center for 2 days at the beginning
of each cycle. Each cycle involves intravenous infusion of ON 01910.Na continuously for
a period of 48 hours, followed by 12 days of observation. Researchers will try to
maintain the schedule of 2 days of infusion every 14 days, but the interval between
doses may be extended if patients experience delayed recovery blood counts.

- Cycles 3 4: Patients who are doing well and choose to continue may receive an additional
two cycles (2 days of inpatient infusion followed by 12 days of outpatient observation).
At the end of cycle 4, researchers will determine if the disease is responding to
therapy. Patients who experience side effects may continue to take ON 01910.Na at a
lower dose or may stop receiving the drug.

- Patients who respond well to four cycles of ON 01910.Na may be eligible for additional
cycles of ON 01910.Na.

- Patients who need to start another medication to treat their disease will stop taking ON
01910.Na, and the researchers will perform a final study visit 2 weeks after the last
dose of ON 01910.Na. After that, participation in the study will be complete.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM) and the
related lymphoid malignancies included in this protocol are all incurable lymphoid
malignancies that mainly affect persons in their late 60s and early 70s. Conventional
chemotherapy can be effective at achieving high rates of clinical response, but relapse
following these responses is almost universal. Response rates in the relapsed setting are
inferior due to acquired resistance of the tumor cells, and new therapies with novel
mechanisms of action are needed. Our aim in this study is to specifically address the needs
of these patients for whom few effective treatments are available.

Patients with lymphoid malignancies relapse due to acquired resistance of tumor cells to
chemotherapy agents and innovative targeted therapies which overcome these mechanisms of
resistance are needed. One such investigational drug, ON 01910.Na, is a potent and selective
inhibitor of the cell cycle and leads to reduction in cyclin D1 expression. In vitro,
ON01910.Na shows activity against CLL and MCL cell lines with resultant cellular death. The
overexpression of cyclin D1 in these related lymphoid malignancies provides a rationale for
its use in selected patients with these conditions.

We therefore propose this non-randomized, pilot, dose-escalating Phase I study of ON 01910.Na
in patients with MCL, CLL, MM and related lymphoid malignancies who have relapsed after or
are refractory to standard therapy.

The primary objective is to determine the toxicity profile (including the maximum tolerated
dose and recommended phase II dose) of ON 01910.Na when administered the first 2 (or amended
later to 3) days of a 2-week cycle in escalating doses in patients with MCL, CLL, MM and
related lymphoid malignancies.

The first cohort was dosed at 1200mg/m2/day times 2 days. The second cohort was dosed at
1500mg/m2/day for 2 days. Three subjects were enrolled into the third cohort at 1800mg/m2/day
times 2 days. One subject completed the 1800mg/m2/ day times 2 days dosing scheme. Two
subjects stopped study drug after the first dose due to progressive disease. The 3 subjects
who received 1800mg/m2/day times 2 days will compose cohort 3. New safety data from the drug
manufacturer lead to Amendment L, which changed the dosing from 48 hours to 72 hours. On
November 18, 2010, the IRB approved Amendment L, which changed the dosing for the new cohorts
4 and 5 to 1800mg/day times 3 days, and 2100mg/day times 3 days, respectively.

Secondary objectives include, the biological effects of ON 01910.Na (for example cyclin D1
expression) on cell-cycle pathways of cells obtained from blood, lymph nodes or bone marrow,
the toxicity profile of ON 01910.Na with subsequent dosing after 2 cycles of therapy, early
indications of biologic activity after 4 cycles of therapy, evaluation of the
pharmacokinetics of ON 01910.Na at the RPTD level, and indications of biologic activity
during extended access (after 4 cycles (day 56)).

The primary endpoint will be the toxicity profile at each dose level through day 28 (cycle 2
day 14).

Secondary endpoints include the reduction in lymph nodes, quantification of circulating
lymphoma cells, assessment of extranodal disease sites, and/or measurement of the malignant
monoclonal proteins in the serum or urine after 4 cycles of therapy (day 56).
