Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dose De-Escalation Cohort: Tulmimetostat (CPI-0209); Daily CPI-0209 by mouth for days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle. Dose will depend on dose level assignment of 300 mg daily, 250 mg daily, or 200 mg daily.	Drug: Tulmimetostat; Patients should take CPI-0209 at approximately the same time every morning in a fasted state (no food for 2 hours prior and 1 hour following CPI-0209 dosing). Each dose of CPI-0209 should be taken with a glass of water and consumed over as short a time as possible.; Other Name: CPI-0209

Dose will be the maximum-tolerated dose found during the dose de-escalation cohort.	Drug: Tulmimetostat; Patients should take CPI-0209 at approximately the same time every morning in a fasted state (no food for 2 hours prior and 1 hour following CPI-0209 dosing). Each dose of CPI-0209 should be taken with a glass of water and consumed over as short a time as possible.; Other Name: CPI-0209

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Frequency and grades of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment through 30 days after completion of treatment (estimated to be 13 months) ]
2. Rate of treatment discontinuation due to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment through 30 days after completion of treatment (estimated to be 13 months) ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Recommended phase II dose/maximum tolerated dose of CPI-0209 [ Time Frame: Through completion of cycle 1 (28 days) of all dose de-escalation patients enrolled (each patient followed for 28 days) ]
   The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first cycle. In the absence of excess toxicity, the maximum tolerated dose will become the recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
2. Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: At 4 months ]
   • Assessed according to the Global Response Criteria for CTCL.
   • Defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) as measured at four months from the start of treatment
3. Time to maximum response [ Time Frame: Through completion of treatment (estimated to be 12 months) ]
   • Assessed according to the Global Response Criteria for CTCL.
   • Quantified as the time elapsed between the date when the patient started taking CPI-0209 to the date they achieved their best overall response.
4. Best overall response rate [ Time Frame: Through completion of treatment (estimated to be 12 months) ]
   • Assessed according to the Global Response Criteria for CTCL.
   • Defined as the total number of patients that achieve a PR or CR at any time during the study period divided by the total number of patients included in the efficacy evaluation.
5. Complete remission rate [ Time Frame: Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 36 months) ]
   • Assessed according to the Global Response Criteria for CTCL.
   • Defined as the total number of patients that achieve a PR or CR at any time during the study period divided by the total number of patients included in the efficacy evaluation.
6. Duration of response among responding patients [ Time Frame: Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 36 months) ]
   • Assessed according to the Global Response Criteria for CTCL.
   • Defined as the time elapsed between the date a patient first achieves a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) to the date they are determined to have relapse or progression of their disease. Patients who do not achieve a PR or CR with CPI-0209 will be excluded from the duration of response analysis.

Infections (e.g., urinary tract infection) controlled on concurrent antimicrobial agents and antimicrobial prophylaxis per institutional guidelines are acceptable.

• Current known active or chronic infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Screening of patients with serologic testing for these viruses is not required. However, patients who have a past history of viral hepatitis or in whom there is a current suspicion of viral hepatitis should have serologic testing for hepatitis B and hepatitis C performed to determine whether there is any current evidence for ongoing infection with these viruses. Patients considered to be at risk for HIV infection should have HIV testing performed.

  • Patients with chronic HBV or HCV are defined as patients with positive hepatitis B serology: Patients with a negative HBsAg and a positive HBcAb require an undetectable/negative hepatitis B DNA test (e.g. polymerase chain reaction [PCR] test) to be enrolled, and will require prophylactic antiviral treatment initiated prior to the first dose of study drug, and continued until approximately 6 to 12 months after completion of study drug(s).

• Patients should be excluded if they have a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 7 days of study drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids, steroids for physiologic or adrenal replacement doses <10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease. Patients are permitted to use topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhalational corticosteroids (with minimal systemic absorption). A brief course of corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast dye allergy) or for treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by contact allergen) is permitted. Topical steroids for cutaneous manifestations of MF/SS will be permitted as per below:

  • Continued use of select concomitant topical steroids is permitted if the patient has remained clinically stable for at least 4 weeks. Patients who are on low or moderate potency topical corticosteroids may participate if they are on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before enrollment. Local injections of corticosteroids are acceptable; all corticosteroids will be reported as concomitant medications. Patients prescribed prednisone 10 mg PO daily or less (or equivalent) will not be excluded.
• Ongoing treatment with other immunosuppressive agent including, but not limited to, methotrexate, azathioprine, anti-TNF agents, etc. with the exception of steroids.
• Clinically active or symptomatic chronic liver disease.
• Unstable or severe uncontrolled medical condition or any important medical or psychiatric illness or abnormal laboratory finding that would, in the investigator's judgment, increase the risk to the patient associated with his/her participation in this study.
• Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to first dose of study drug.
