A Phase Ib, Multi-center, Open-label Dose Escalation and Expansion Platform Study of VAY736 as Single Agent and in Combination With Select Antineoplastic Agents in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
Novartis Reference Number:CVAY736J12101
All compounds are either investigational or being studied for (a) new use(s). Efficacy and safety have not been established. There is no guarantee that they will become commercially available for the use(s) under investigation.

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of VAY736 alone or in combination with other therapies in patients with NHL in a platform trial.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with NHL and identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose (RD) of VAY736 single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

This is a phase I/Ib, multi-center, open-label study with multiple treatment arms in an adaptive study design. The study is comprised of a dose escalation part and dose expansion part.

In dose escalation, the investigational drug VAY736 will be explored alone or in combination with partner therapies. Increasing doses of VAY736 alone or in combination will be given to small groups of patients to identify the MTD/RD in patients with NHL. In dose expansion, some or all the treatments from dose escalation will be tested at the recommended doses in patients with NHL. Combination partners may be added in the future by protocol amendment. The study is expected to be approximately 4 years in duration (from enrollment of first patient to discontinuation of last patient).

Interventions

Drug

lenalidomide

Immune-modulatory agent that enhances activation of NK cells.
Drug

VAY736

VAY736 is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) which targets the B cell activating factor receptor (BAFF-R) expressed on the surface of differentiated B cells and modulates their function.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients in subtype arm e.g. DLBCL must have confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory DLBCL.
Received and failed or be intolerant to standard of care therapy (at least two prior lines, including an anti-CD20 therapy for NHL)
Must have measurable disease and ECOG of 0 to 2

Exclusion Criteria:

Baseline laboratory results outside of protocol defined ranges
Patients with primary CNS lymphoma
History of hypersensitivity to VAY736 or any drugs in similar chemical classes (e.g. monoclonal antibodies)

History of or current interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis grade 2 or higher
HIV infection
Active hepatitis C infection and/or hepatitis B infection
Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
