About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of N-803 in Patients With Relapse/Refractory Indolent B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Conjunction With Rituximab

This is a Phase I/II, open-label, multi-center, competitive enrollment and dose escalation study of N-803 in patients with relapse/refractory indolent B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in conjunction with rituximab.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or the Minimum Efficacious Dose (MED) and designate a dose level for Phase 2. Also characterize the immunogenicity, pharmacokinetic profile, and biomarker serum levels of N-803 in treated patients.

The effect of N-803 on the peripheral absolute lymphocyte counts and white blood cell counts, the number, phenotype and repertoire of peripheral blood T (total and subsets) and NK cells will be evaluated. In addition, a subset of patients will be evaluated for changes in lymph node immune composition. Anti-tumor responses and survival data will also be collected in this trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MTD or MED of N-803: IV 1, 3, 6 μg/kg, SQ 6, 10, 15, 20 μg/kg

    Maximum Tolerated Dose level (MTD) is defined as a dose level at which <2 out of 6 patients experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) and that is one level below a dose that was not tolerated. Minimal Efficacious Dose (MED) is defined as a dose level which produces an Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) ≥25,000/μL sustained for 14 days or a total WBC ≥35,000/μL sustained for 14 days among 2/3 or 4/6 of patients. The elevated ALC cannot be attributed to circulating lymphoma cells. Dose levels for N-803 1, 3, 6 μg/kg IV, and 6, 10, 15, 20 μg/kg subcutaneous (SQ) were used to determine the MTD or MED.

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment Emergent Adverse Event is defined as any AE that begins or worsens in grade after the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or end of study period, whichever is later.

    Measured: 30 days after last dose, up to 40 weeks

  3. Overall Response Rate

    For Phase 1 and 2, overall response rate (ORR) will be calculated as the ratio of the number of patients who demonstrated response (CR+PR) divided by the number of patients in the Evaluable population. Response and disease progression criteria were defined by the 2007 IHP response assessments for malignant lymphoma.

    Measured: 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Rituximab and N-803 in people with Relapsed/Refractory Indolent B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Altor BioScience at 4 sites in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MTD or MED of N-803: IV 1, 3, 6 μg/kg, SQ 6, 10, 15, 20 μg/kg (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 3 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 NCT02384954, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jul 2024.
