- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 0 or 1

About this study
Official title: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-67856633, an Inhibitor of MALT1, in Participants With NHL and CLL
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose regimen or the maximum tolerated dose of JNJ-67856633 in participants with relapsed/ refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Read the detailed description
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents a diverse set of diseases. Among them diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most common subtype of NHL, accounting for 30 percent (%) to 40% of all newly diagnosed cases. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is a key mediator of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) signaling pathway and has been shown to play a critical role in different types of lymphoma, including activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). JNJ-67856633 is a MALT1 inhibitor and will be administered orally. The study will evaluate the following: Dose Escalation (Part 1): One or more recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2Ds) of JNJ-67856633. Cohort Expansion (Part 2): JNJ-67856633 is well tolerated and achieves antitumor responses at the RP2D. The study consists of screening phase (less than or equal to 28 days before first dose), treatment phase (from Cycle 1 Day 1 till end of treatment visit [within 30 (+7) days after the last dose]) and post-treatment phase. A prescreening period may also apply to participants in select cohorts in Part 2. The total study duration will be approximately 4 years and 11 months. Efficacy assessments will include radiographic image assessments, positron emission tomography scan, bone marrow assessment, endoscopy or colonoscopy etc. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
JNJ-67856633Drug
JNJ-67856633 capsule will be administered orally.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1 (Dose Escalation): JNJ-67856633 | Experimental | Participants will receive JNJ-67856633 until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or the investigator or sponsor decision. Subsequent dose levels will be assigned by the sponsor using an adaptive dose escalation strategy based on all available safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and biomarker data. Receives: Drug: JNJ-67856633 |
| Part 2 (Cohort Expansion): JNJ-67856633 | Experimental | Participants will receive JNJ-67856633 at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) determined in Part 1. Receives: Drug: JNJ-67856633 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Part 1: Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
The DLTs are based on drug related adverse events and defined as any of the following events: any toxicity that would require discontinuation of treatment; and/or hematological / non-hematological toxicity of Grade 3 or higher.
Measured: Approximately 21 days
Part 1 and Part 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
JNJ-67856633 Plasma Concentrations
Concentration assessment will be done to evaluate the effect of JNJ-67856633.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a partial response (PR) and complete response (CR) according to the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia response criteria.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Complete Response Rate
Complete response rate is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a best response of CR according to the iwCLL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia response criteria.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Time to Response (TTR)
TTR is defined for participants who achieved PR or CR as the time from the first dose of study drug to first response of PR or CR.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months
Part 1 and Part 2: Duration of Response (DoR)
DoR is defined for participants who achieved PR or CR as the time between the date of initial documentation of PR or CR to the date of first documented evidence of disease progression or death, whichever comes first.
Measured: Up to 4 years and 11 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-67856633 in people with Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell and Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 47 sites in 12 countries.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 47 sites in France, Spain, United States, Japan, Australia and 7 more countries. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Part 1: Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Approximately 21 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Jun 2025.
