Anti-CD30 biAb-AATC in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory CD30 Positive Hematopoietic Malignancies

What this study is about

This first-in-human trial will assess the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of an immunotherapy with a novel CD30 antibody conjugated to a CD3 antibody that is preloaded onto a patient's own T-cells, generating a CD30 bispecific antibody-armed, anti-CD3-activated, autologous T-cells (CD30 biAb-AATC).

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior Therapy: Any toxicities from prior treatment, \>Grade 3 per CTCAE v5.0 Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T cell) within 60 days of enrollment, or evidence of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) at any time post-transplant. Investigational Agent: Treatment with any investigational agent within 14 days of enrollment. Exclusion Requirements Due to Comorbid Disease or Concurrent Illness: Immune: Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Steroid premedication for imaging scans is allowed. Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Infectious: Systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection not controlled (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment). Patients with possible fungal infections must have had appropriate anti-fungal antibiotics and adequately controlled. HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the unknown ability to expand T cell populations for CD30 biAb-AATC product in this setting. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated. Pulmonary: Prior history of anti-CD30 therapy related pulmonary toxicity. Neurologic: Prior history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Cardiac: Patients diagnosed with NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, or uncontrolled hypertension.

Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding females will not be allowed to enroll on this study. Female patients with infants must agree not to breastfeed their infants during the entire study treatment period and through three months after the last study drug dose. Agents used in this study are known to be teratogenic to a fetus. There is there is no information on the excretion of CD30 biAb-AATC agents into breast milk but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with a CD30 biAb-AATC. Secondary Malignancy: Patients should not have a history of any second malignancy in the last 1 year with exception of the diagnosis for inclusion; subjects with prior history of in situ cancer or basal or squamous cell skin cancer are eligible.

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.
