About this study

Official title: Optimizing Lymphodepletion to Improve Outcomes in Patients Receiving Anti Cluster of Differentiation Antigen 19 (Anti-CD19) Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR T) Cell Therapy With Kymriah/tIsagenlecleucel (LOKI)

This is a Phase 1b study of participants with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). The purpose of this study is to identify an optimized lymphodepletion (LD) regimen by evaluating standard and intermediate doses of Fludarabine (Flu) / Cyclophosphamide (Cy) with or without a fixed dose of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) in the setting of standard of care chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be enrolled in two stages: the dose escalation stage to assess the safety and tolerability of a modified LD regimen, and once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, a cohort expansion phase to further characterize the toxicity and efficacy profile and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The study will enroll approximately 20-40 patients in the dose escalation stage (Part 1), and approximately 20 further patients at cohort expansion (Part 2). There will be six dose escalation cohorts, in three study arms. There are two dosing cohorts in each study arm. Patients in Arm 1 will receive the JULIET chemotherapy LD regimen with or without TLI, and in Arms 2 and 3, intermediate doses of Cy with a fixed dose of Flu, with or without TLI, will be given.

The cohorts in Arm 1 will enroll concurrently, and enrollment into Arm 2 will begin after Arm 1 has enrolled all patients and data review by the Trial Steering Committee (TSC). Similarly, enrollment into Arm 3 will only commence once Arm 2 has accrued and relevant safety data has been reviewed.

For accrual into Cohort 2, Arm 1, there will be a 15-day staggered enrollment for the first 2 patients. Staggered enrollment with another 15-day delay may be considered for enrollment into relevant cohorts in Arms 2 and 3, after review by the TSC.

Following completion of accrual to Arm 1, a 30 day dose limiting toxicity (DLT) window will be observed, prior to review by the TSC and commencement of patient enrollment into Arm 2. The same procedure and DLT window will be followed prior to patient enrollment into Arm 3.

One DLT window will be observed during this study: 30 days post infusion of tisagenlecleucel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cyclophosphamide, TLI and Fludarabine in people with Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 25 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 12 Nov 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 Canada. 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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) for chemo plus radiation as lymphodepletion (time frame: baseline through end of study completion, approximately 2 years). 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 12 Nov 2024.
