  • Pregnant or lactating women. NOTE: Pregnant women are excluded from this study because based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, duvelisib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of duvelisib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with duvelisib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with duvelisib. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Doxorubicin, CC-486 (5-azacitidine), Romidepsin, and Duvelisib (hARD) for T-cell Lymphoma

Background:

T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are rare cancers. Many types of TCLs do not develop in the lymph nodes but in places like the skin, spleen, and bone marrow. Researchers want to see if a mix of 4 drugs can help people with TCL.

Read more

Objective:

To test if the combination of romidepsin, CC-486 (5-azacitidine), duvelisib, and doxorubicin can be used safely in people with TCL.

Eligibility:

Adults 18 and older with TCL that is newly diagnosed or that returned after or did not respond to standard treatments.

Design:

Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy.

Participants will have medical histories, medicine reviews, and physical exams. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They will have blood and urine tests.

Participants will take duvelisib and CC-486 (5-azacitidine) by mouth. They will get romidepsin and doxorubicin by intravenous infusion. They will take the drugs for up to eight 21-day cycles. They will keep a medicine diary.

Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. Bone marrow will be taken through a needle inserted in the hip.

Participants will have tumor imaging scans. Some may have a brain MRI and lumbar puncture. Some may have skin assessments.

Participants will give blood, saliva, and tumor samples for research.

Participants will have a safety visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up visits every 60 days for 6 months, then every 90 days for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. Then they will have yearly visits until their disease gets worse or they start a new treatment....

Read the detailed description

Background:

T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies defined by clonal proliferation of post-thymic T lymphocytes.

Patients with newly diagnosed TCLs are most commonly treated with a CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone)-like regimen, with less than 30% having durable complete responses (CRs). Of the chemotherapy agents used, doxorubicin is the one which was consistently associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in retrospective studies.

Treatment options for the 70% of patients with TCL who relapse are limited and of minimal efficacy; novel treatment strategies are urgently needed.

Many TCL have mutations in epigenetic modifier genes, and histone deacetylase inhibitors such as romidepsin are approved for treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL); however, the overall response rate (ORR) with single-agent treatment is only 20-30%, and improvement in OS was not shown.

Romidepsin and the hypomethylating agent CC-486 (5-azacitidine) acted synergistically in vitro, and showed high clinical activity, with an ORR of up to 79% in some types of TCL.

Many TCLs rely on the PI3K pathway, whether through activation of CD28 through fusions or gain-of-function mutations or by interruptions of the CD28-inhibiting PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint.

Duvelisib is an inhibitor of the PI3K gamma and delta isoforms; in phase I trials it has shown both single-agent activity and synergy with romidepsin for patients with TCL.

As combinations of both CC-486 (5-azacitidine)/romidepsin and duvelisib/romidepsin have demonstrated both adequate safety and clinical efficacy, safety and efficacy of the triplet combination should be explored.

Objectives:

To determine the safety and toxicity profile, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the four-drug combination of CC-486 (5-azacitidine), romidepsin and duvelisib, and doxorubicin, in patients with TCL.

Eligibility:

Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma (TCL) defined as follows:

Cohort 2: Untreated patients with any peripheral TCL, not including anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), but including acute and lymphoma subtypes of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

Cohorts 1 and 3: Any relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma including ATLL and ALCL who have disease after receiving at least one line of systemic therapy, which must include brentuximab vedotin if the disease is ALCL.

Age >= 18 years of age

ECOG performance status of <= 2

Adequate organ and marrow function

Design:

Open-label, single-center, non-randomized Phase 1 study

"3 + 3" design will be used to determine the RP2D of dose-escalated duvelisib with fixed dose romidepsin CC-486 (5-azacitidine) and doxorubicin with two expansion cohorts at the RP2D

Maximum 8 cycles (21-day cycles) of combination therapy

To explore all dose levels, including further evaluation in two dose expansion cohorts, the accrual ceiling will be set at 60 patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CC-486 (5-azacitidine), Duvelisib and Romidepsin in people with Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma and Extranodal NK-/T-cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 0 inclusion and 33 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2022. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety and tolerability (time frame: 8 cycles). 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 4 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
