Study of Oral Administration of LP-168 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Malignancies.
What this study is about
This is a phase I, multi-center, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, gradually increasing doses study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body and clinical activity of LP-168 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. LP-168 is a small molecule inhibitor.
View original scientific description
This is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of LP-168 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. LP-168 is a small molecule inhibitor.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- A subject will be eligible for study participation if he/she meets the following criteria:
- Subjects are eligible with B-cell malignancies, WM, FL, MCL, MZL, DLBCL, HCL, CLL, SLL, based upon 2016 updated WHO classification. Those subjects with WM, FL, MCL, DLBCL, or HCL must have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies.
- Low-grade B-cell lymphomas as follicular Grade 1, 2, or 3A, marginal zone or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
- Subject must have adequate coagulation, renal, and hepatic function, per local laboratory reference ranges at Screening as follows:
- Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) not to exceed 1.5 × ULN
- Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min using 24-hour CrCl OR Cockcroft-Gault formula.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 1.5 ×ULN; Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (except subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome, who may have a bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN, per discussion between the Investigator and the Medical Monitor).
- Subjects must have adequate bone marrow independent of growth factor support per local laboratory reference range at screening as follows:
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1000/uL;
- An exception is for subjects with an ANC\<1000/uL and bone marrow heavily infiltrated with underlying disease (approximately 60% or more) may use growth factor to achieve the ANC eligibility criteria per discussion between the Investigator and the Medical Monitor.
- Platelet count ≥ 50,000/µL - OR - Platelet count ≥ 20,000/ µL if thrombocytopenia is clearly due to CLL disease under study (per Investigator discretion)
- Hemoglobin ≥8.0g/dL, and can be achieved by transfusion
Exclusion criteria
- A subject will not be eligible for study participation if he/she meets any of the following criteria.
- Subject has received any of the following therapies within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug, or has not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 clinically significant adverse effect(s)/toxicity(s) of the previous therapy (other than alopecia):
- Any anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, biologic or immunotherapy, radiotherapy, etc;
- Any investigational therapy, including targeted small molecule agents.
- For CLL subjects who come off BCR antagonists (BTK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, etc.) treatment, allow washout for 2 days as these subjects progress quickly after treatment discontinuation and then remain eligible (steroids may be given during these two days to allow disease control).
- Subjects who require immediate cytoreduction. However, subjects may receive up to two days of steroids for symptoms of impending organ impairment and remain eligible.
- Subject has received the following medications or therapies within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug:
- Steroid therapy (at dosages equivalent to prednisone \>20 mg/day) for anti-neoplastic intent (except as noted in exclusion criteria #3);
- Cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A4) strong inhibitors and strong CYP2C8 inducers/inhibitors.
- Potent CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John's wort.
- Subjects require treatment with systemic acid-reducing agents including H-2-receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors with the following exceptions:
- Proton pump inhibitors should be discontinued at least 7 days prior and held throughout the study
- If concurrent use of an H2 blocking agent is necessary, it must be administered only between 2 and 3 hours after the dose of LP-168. If not taken during this time, the dose of H2 blocking agents should not be taken again until 2-3 hours after the next dose of LP-168.
- If concurrent use of a local antacid is necessary, it must be administered 2 or more hours before and/or 2 or more hours after the dose of LP-168.
- Subject has significant screening electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities including. 2nd degree AV block type II 3rd degree block, Grade 2 or higher bradycardia, and corrected QT interval (QTc) ≥ 480ms.
- Serum amylase \> 1.5 × ULN or serum lipase \> 1.5 × ULN.
- Subject has any history of Richter's transformation for Phase 1a portion of the trial.
- Subjects who have undergone autologous/allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) therapy within 90 days of the first dose of LP-168, or patients on immunosuppressive therapy post-HSCT at the time of Screening, or currently with clinically significant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) as per treating physician (Patients in relapse after allogeneic transplantation must be off treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents for at least 4 weeks. The use of topical steroids and/or up to 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent systemic steroids for ongoing GVHD is permitted.
- Subject has a history of other active malignancies other than B-cell malignancies within the past 3 years prior to study entry, with the exception of:
- Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri;
- Basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin;
- Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent.
- Subject requires anticoagulation with Warfarin.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
