About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study of Innate Cell Engager AFM13 in Combination With Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells (AB-101) in Subjects With Recurrent or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma and CD-30 Positive Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

AFM13-203 is a phase 2, open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort study with a safety run-in followed by expansion cohorts. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of AFM13 in combination with AB-101 in subjects with R/R classical HL and CD30-positive PTCL.

Read the detailed description

The study will start with a safety run-in exploring AFM13/AB-101 combination treatment in subjects with classical HL. Two dose levels of AFM13 and AB-101, respectively, will be tested in 4 cohorts. Cohort 1 and 2 will enroll in parallel. Enrolment into Cohort 3 and 4 will start only if the combination treatment has been well tolerated.

Following the safety run-in observation period, a thorough risk-benefit analysis will be performed to determine 2 of the 4 cohorts/dose levels that will be further evaluated in the main part of the study which will also include subjects with classical HL and will follow a Simon two-stage design.

An additional exploratory cohort (Cohort 5) will enroll subjects with select CD30-positive PTCL subtypes after completion of the safety run-in.

All subjects will be treated with AFM13/AB-101 for a maximum of 3 cycles (cycle length is 48-days).

Being tested
AFM13, AB-101, Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine, Interleukin-2

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Radiology Committee

    Best ORR (complete response (CR) + partial response [PR]) by Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as assessed by the Lugano classification. A participant will be assumed as a responder if he/she achieves complete or partial response at any postbaseline visit.

    Measured: Disease assessments were conducted on Day 43 (+- 3 days) of each cycle. All subjects were treated for a maximum of 3 cycles.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Duration of Response by Independent Radiology Committee

    Duration of response (DOR) defined as time from first assessment of PR or CR to the first assessment of progressive disease/death. Response based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as assessed by the Lugano classification assessed by Independent Radiology Committee.

    Measured: Tumor assessment performed every 6 weeks for 3 cycles, if no disease progression on completion of treatment, then every 3 months for the first 12 months and then every 6 months (up to 20 months)

  2. Complete Response Rate (CRR) by Independent Radiology Committee

    Complete Response Rate based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as assessed by the Lugano classification.

    Measured: Tumor assessment performed every 6 weeks for 3 cycles, if no disease progression on completion of treatment, then every 3 months for the first 12 months and then every 6 months (up to 20 months)

  3. ORR by Investigator Based on PET-CT as Assessed by the Lugano Classification

    ORR (CR + PR) by Investigator based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as assessed by the Lugano classification

    Measured: Tumor assessment performed every 6 weeks for 3 cycles, if no disease progression on completion of treatment, then every 3 months for the first 12 months and then every 6 months (up to 20 months)

  4. Duration of Response by Investigator

    Duration of response (DOR) defined as time from first assessment of PR or CR to the first assessment of progressive disease/death. Response based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as assessed by the Lugano classification assessed locally by the Investigator.

    Measured: Tumor assessment performed every 6 weeks for 3 cycles, if no disease progression on completion of treatment, then every 3 months for the first 12 months and then every 6 months (up to 20 months)

  5. Incidence of Subjects Receiving Subsequent Transplant

    The number of subjects receiving subsequent transplant will be assessed and summarized by percentage rates

    Measured: Throughout study completion (up to 20 months)

  6. Frequency of Subjects With Study Drug Related TEAEs

    The number of subjects with study-drug related (AFM13 or AB-101) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Measured: From the time of first protocol-specific intervention until 30 days after the last administration (up to 20 months)

  7. Frequency of Subjects With Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    The number of subjects who had serious treatment emergent adverse events.

    Measured: From the time of first protocol-specific intervention until 30 days after the last administration (up to 20 months)

  8. Frequency of Subjects Developing Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) Against AFM13

    The number of subjects developing anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against AFM13

    Measured: During treatment cycles (up to 6 months)

  9. Progression-free Survival (PFS) by Independent Radiology Committee

    Progression-free survival (PFS) defined as time from first treatment (AFM13/AB-101) received until progressive disease (PD). Subjects who started a new anti-lymphoma therapy prior to a documented progressive disease were censored at the last disease assessment prior to initiation of new anti-lymphoma therapy. Subjects who discontinued the study before the first assessment of progressive disease or death were censored at their last disease assessment.

    Measured: From the first treatment received until the first progression disease assessed by IRC or death.

  10. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival (OS) was defined as (date of death - date of first dose)/30.4375. Patients alive at the end of study will be censored on the last date of observation.

    Measured: From the first treatment received until the death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AFM13, AB-101 and Cyclophosphamide in people with Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma and Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma, run by Affimed GmbH at 15 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 20 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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 phase mean?

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 20 Aug 2025). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Radiology Committee (time frame: Disease assessments were conducted on Day 43 (+- 3 days) of each cycle. All subjects were treated for a maximum of 3 cycles.). 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 20 Aug 2025.
