Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicities
28 days

Estimate the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose for expansion of LGH447 in Japanese patients

Phase Ib: Number of Total Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)
Cycle 1 (28 days)

Using a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) to guide dose escalation and predict MTD or determine the RP2D for LGH447 in combination with BYL719 in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The frequency and characteristics of DLTs will be assessed.

Phase II: Overall Response Rate (ORR) as assessed by Investigators
29 months (End of Study)

The proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) as assessed by Investigators using the International Myeloma Working group (IMWG) Criteria with modifications. End of Study (defined as the time when all patients have completed at least 6 cycles of treatment or discontinued treatment, or have been lost to follow up, whichever occurs first.

Frequently asked questions about LGH447

What is LGH447 used for?

LGH447 is an investigational oral small molecule being studied in hematologic malignancies, specifically acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and multiple myeloma, including relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and is not approved for any indication.

What does LGH447 target?

LGH447 targets the PIM kinases PIM1, PIM2, and PIM3. It acts as an inhibitor of these proteins, which are involved in cell survival and proliferation signaling in hematologic cancers. Targeting all three PIM family members distinguishes it from agents selective for a single isoform.

Who is developing LGH447?

LGH447 is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis sponsored the Phase 1 clinical program evaluating the compound across multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and high risk myelodysplastic syndrome.

What phase is LGH447 in?

LGH447 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory authority. All four registered studies of LGH447 are Phase 1 trials, and all have completed.

What clinical trials is LGH447 in?

Four Phase 1 trials of LGH447 have been registered: NCT02160951 in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies, NCT02144038 combining LGH447 with BYL719 in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, NCT02078609 in AML or high risk MDS, and NCT01456689 in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. All are completed.

How many patients were enrolled in LGH447 trials?

The LGH447 Phase 1 program enrolled 92 patients in total across its registered studies. The largest trial, NCT02078609 in acute myeloid leukemia and high risk myelodysplastic syndrome, enrolled 70 patients, while the multiple myeloma studies enrolled smaller cohorts.
