About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of Ulocuplumab And Ibrutinib in Symptomatic Patients With Mutated CXCR4 Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

This research study is studying Ulocuplumab combined with ibrutinib as a possible treatment for symptomatic Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM).

Read the detailed description

This was planned to be a Phase I/II clinical trial. A Phase I clinical trial tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. The study was halted early and did not open the Phase II portion.

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Ulocuplumab as a treatment for any disease. Ulocuplumab is a type of protein called an antibody that attacks CXCR4, a protein that is found on B-cells like WM.

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has Ibrutinib as a treatment option for this disease.

Ibrutinib has been under investigation in research studies in participants with recurrent B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and prolymphocytic leukemia, and WM. In a study of ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory WM patients, response rates were high and the treatment was well tolerated. In that study participants who had a CXCR4 mutation had a lower response rate to ibrutinib than those without a mutation.

In this research study, the investigators are evaluating the safety of ulocuplumab in combination with ibrutinib participants with symptomatic WM who have a CXCR4 mutation. The investigators are also evaluating how well the ulocuplumab works in combination with ibrutinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ulocuplumab

    MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 1600mg of ulocuplumab on dose escalation levels 1 to 3 with 3 to 7 participants each. MTD reflects the highest dose of ulocuplumab that did not cause a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in >33% of participants. DLTs were defined as any Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE 4.0) grade 4 or 5 hematologic toxicities (anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia) and grade 3 or above non-hematologic toxicities. Exceptions were allowed for toxicities attributed to underlying disease, grade 3 infection, and easily reversible asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities, and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea controlled by medications.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks for each dose level

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Minor Response

    Time in months to >25%-50% reduction in serum IgM from baseline

    Measured: Response evaluated at each cycle day 1, starting at Cycle 2 Day 1 through Cycle 48

  2. Time to Major Response

    Time in months to >50-90% reduction in serum IgM from baseline

    Measured: Response evaluated at each cycle day 1, starting at Cycle 2 Day 1 through Cycle 48

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in months until >25% increase in serum IgM from nadir

    Measured: Response and progression status evaluated at each cycle day 1, starting at Cycle 2 Day 1 through Cycle 48, and every 12 weeks during follow-up for up to 2 years after end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ulocuplumab and Ibrutinib in people with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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.

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 May 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ulocuplumab (time frame: Up to 8 weeks for each dose level). 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 NCT03225716, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 May 2024.
