A Study of DR-01 in Subjects With Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia or Cytotoxic Lymphomas
What this study is about
This is a conducted at multiple hospitals, first-in-human, Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body, how the drug affects the body, and anti-tumor activity of DR-01 in adult patients with large granular lymphocytic leukemia or cytotoxic lymphomas
View original scientific description
This is a multicenter, first-in-human, Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of DR-01 in adult patients with large granular lymphocytic leukemia or cytotoxic lymphomas
Interventions
DRUG
DR-01
DR-01 is a non-fucosylated, human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody.
Primary outcome measures
Part A: Safety and Tolerability. To determine the incidence and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.
Time frame: Up to 25 months
Part A: Safety and Tolerability. To determine the incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) as defined by protocol specified DLT criteria.
Time frame: During First 28 days (Cycle 1)
Part A: To determine potential pharmacologically optimized dose/regimen for DR-01 in LGL leukemia and cytotoxic lymphoma populations as determined using an integrated assessment of efficacy, safety, PK/PD, and exposure-response relationships.
Time frame: Up to 6 months
Part B: Overall Response Rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of subjects with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) based on disease-specific response criteria.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
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
- (All Subjects):
- ≥18 years of age.
- Able to understand and comply with protocol-required study procedures and voluntarily sign a written informed consent document.
- Sufficient key organ performance and coagulation.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential (postmenarcheal, has an intact uterus and at least one ovary, and is \<1 year postmenopausal) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from enrollment through at least 12 months after last dose of DR-01.
- Male subjects must agree to use acceptable effective method(s) of contraception. Subjects with LGLL must also meet inclusion criteria 6 and 7.
- Must have discontinued at least one prior line of systemic therapy.
- Additional immunophenotypic and symptomatic criteria must be met. Disease-specific Inclusion Criteria (Cytotoxic Lymphomas): Subjects with cytotoxic lymphomas must also meet inclusion criteria 8,9, and 10.
- Subjects must have failed at least one prior systemic regimens.
- Availability of post-progression tissue sample or willingness to consent to a baseline biopsy.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of a cytotoxic lymphoma by a hematopathologist (according to the WHO 2016 classification \[Swerdlow 2016\]).
- For Part A only, evaluable disease is acceptable.
- For Part B2 only, evaluable by the following response criteria as documented during Screening:
- For cytotoxic PTCL-NOS, ENKTL, MEITL, EATL, SPTCL - Subjects must have radiographically measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or CT/positron emission tomography (PET) scan defined as at least one node measuring \>1.5 cm or measurable extranodal lesion of at least 1.0 cm in longest diameter to be evaluated by Lugano criteria (Cheson 2014).
- For PCGDTCL, ET-CTCL, HVLPD, cytotoxic CuPTCL-NOS - Subjects with primary cutaneous variants must have at least 1 measurable lesion that is evaluable using the Olsen criteria (Olsen 2021) or have leukemic involvement that can be evaluated using modified TPLL response criteria (Staber 2019).
- For HSTCL, ANKL, SysEBV TCL - Subjects with hepatosplenic disease without measurable disease by Lugano criteria (Cheson 2014) or leukemic involvement in BM or peripheral blood that is evaluable for response using a modified TPLL response criteria (Staber 2019).
Exclusion criteria
- Disease-specific Exclusion Criteria; LGLL and ANKL:
- A reactive LGL lymphocytosis to a viral infection or LGL associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The following exclusion criteria apply to all subjects:
- Active systemic infection or severe localized infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals.
- Active or suspected malignant central nervous system involvement.
- Life-threatening, severe complications of malignancy (e.g., uncontrolled bleeding, pneumonia with hypoxia or shock, and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation).
- Active known second malignancy.
- Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 or 2 (HIV-1 or HIV-2).
- Hepatitis B infection (hepatitis B virus surface antigen \[HBsAg\] positive), or hepatitis C (hepatitis C virus \[HCV\] antibody positive, confirmed by HCV ribonucleic acid). Subjects with HCV with undetectable virus after treatment are eligible.
- History of clinically significant cardiac disease or congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II.
- Use of systemic corticosteroids at prohibited dose levels within 15 days prior to C1D1 (except for prophylaxis for radiodiagnostic contrast reactions and study-defined premedication) or use of other non-biological immunosuppressive drugs within 15 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is less) prior to C1D1.
- Any condition requiring hormonal therapy (except for contraception, hormone replacement therapy and hormonal prophylaxis for a prior malignancy).
- Any other medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that would increase the risk associated with study participation, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor.
- Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies must have resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 (except for alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, or hematologic parameters meeting inclusion criteria).
- Autologous HSCT within 40 days of C1D1, allogeneic HSCT within 90 days
- Any immunosuppressive therapy for GVHD for subjects who are post allogeneic HSCT.
- Major surgery within 28 days of C1D1 (requires more than local anesthesia or plexus blockade).

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.
