What is being measured

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

  1. To Determine the DLT of APR-246 in Combination With Acalabrutinib or in Combination With Venetoclax + Rituximab Therapy in Subjects With NHL, Including Subjects With R/R CLL, RT and R/R MCL.

    The occurrence of DLTs, classified and graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events .

    Measured: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  2. To Assess the Frequency of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Related to APR-246 in Combination With Acalabrutinib and With Venetoclax + Rituximab Therapy.

    The frequency of TEAEs and SAEs related to APR-246 in combination with acalabrutinib and with venetoclax + rituximab therapy

    Measured: Through study completion, approximately 6 months

  3. To Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) in Subjects With TP53 Mutant NHL, Including Subjects With R/R CLL, RT and R/R MCL.

    The highest dose of APR-246 with acceptable toxicity (RP2D of APR-246) (the dose producing ≤ 20% of DLT).

    Measured: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing APR-246 (eprenetapopt) + Acalabrutinib in CLL, APR-246 (eprenetapopt) 4.5 g/d + Venetoclax + Rituximab in CLL and APR-246 (eprenetapopt) 4.5 g/d + (Acalabrutinib, OR, (Venetoclax +Rituximab)), in CLL and/or MCL and/or RT in people with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Aprea Therapeutics 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?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 22 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 17 Mar 2025. 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 15 Nov 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?

To Determine the DLT of APR-246 in Combination With Acalabrutinib or in Combination With Venetoclax + Rituximab Therapy in Subjects With NHL, Including Subjects With R/R CLL, RT and R/R MCL. (time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year). 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?
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 17 Mar 2025.
