Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial in Minneapolis, MN

About This Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Study in Minneapolis

This phase Ib/II trial evaluates the safety, optimal dose, and efficacy of the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib in treating patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or responded to previous treatment (refractory). Epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody, binds to two different types of receptors (proteins present on the cell surface) at the same time. The two receptors that epcoritamab binds to are called CD3 and CD20. CD3 is found on T cells, which a

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Follicular lymphoma, grade 3b (also known as follicular large B-cell lymphoma in the 5th edition of World Health Organization \[WHO\] classification of lymphoid neoplasms)

Patients with previously diagnosed indolent lymphoma (follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma but not lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma or small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia) who have transformed to any of the above lymphoma subtypes are eligible

Patients must have relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma and received prior treatment with an anthracycline in combination with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody:

The reason for CAR T-cell treatment ineligibility should be documented

Prior treatment with a BTK inhibitor is allowed if stopped due to lymphoma progression or treatment completion but not intolerance

Prior treatment with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is allowed if ≥ 100 days prior to enrollment

Prior treatment with CAR T cells is allowed if ≥ 30 days prior to enrollment

Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of ibrutinib or epcoritamab in patients \< 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2

Measurable disease (defined as \> 1.5 cm in diameter) or at least one PET fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) avid area of disease

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mcL

Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mcL. Platelet count ≥ 50,000/mcL is allowed in case of bone marrow involvement and/or splenomegaly

Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL

Transfusion and/or growth factor support within 7 days (or 14 days in case of long-acting growth factors such as pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor \[G-CSF\]) of enrollment to meet these requirements is not permitted

Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) (unless due to Gilbert's disease or hemolysis in which case bilirubin must be \< 3 x ULN)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) \< 3 x institutional ULN

Creatinine clearance \> 45 mL/min calculated by Cockcroft-Gault. Patients on dialysis are not eligible

The effects of ibrutinib and epcoritamab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (double barrier method of birth control or abstinence) 2 weeks before initiation of treatment, for the duration of study participation and for 12 months after completing treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform the treating physician immediately. Men must agree to refrain from sperm donation for at least 12 months after the last dose of epcoritamab

Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-hCG\]) or urine pregnancy test at Screening. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible for this study

Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) consent document. Voluntary written consent must be given before the performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care

Exclusion Criteria

Prior therapy with a bispecific antibody targeting CD3 and CD20

Prior lymphoma therapy should be completed greater than two weeks before the start of protocol therapy, except for corticosteroids used for palliation of symptoms

Patients who require immediate cytoreductive therapy for their lymphoma per the treating physician's assessment are ineligible

Patients with a history of allogeneic stem cell transplantation are excluded unless the transplant was \> 180 days before the first scheduled dose of ibrutinib AND the patient does not have evidence of active acute or chronic graft versus host disease AND the patient must not have taken immunosuppressive medications associated with the transplant for at least 1 month before the first scheduled dose of ibrutinib

Ongoing systemic treatment with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. Treatment with any strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer needs to be stopped for 5 half-lives prior to starting treatment on trial

Major surgery within 4 weeks before the start of treatment other than surgery performed for lymphoma diagnosis

Known active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma. Patients who are enrolled and subsequently identified to have pathologic confirmation of CNS involvement by lymphoma may be continued on the study at the discretion of the principal investigator

Evidence of current uncontrolled or symptomatic cardiovascular conditions, including, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, history of or symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] class III or greater), unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months. Poorly controlled or clinically significant atherosclerotic vascular disease including angioplasty, cardiac or vascular stenting within 6 months of enrollment

If hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody is positive, the patient must be evaluated for the presence of HBV DNA by PCR. If HCV antibody is positive, the patient must be evaluated for the presence of HCV RNA by PCR. Patients with positive HBc antibody and negative HBV DNA by PCR are eligible. Patients with positive HCV antibody and negative HCV RNA by PCR are eligible

Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study. Because there is an unknown, but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with ibrutinib or epcoritamab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with ibrutinib or epcoritamab

Patients with ongoing clinically significant grade ≥ 2 toxicity from prior therapy
