Lenalidomide and Blinatumomab for the Treatment of Relapsed Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

NCT02568553

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and blinatumomab when given together in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and blinatumomab when given together in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide when given in combination
      with blinatumomab in the proposed regimen.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity anti-tumor response (complete response [CR] and
      partial response [PR] as per International workshop lymphoma response criteria).

      II. To investigate the immune response to blinatumomab alone and in combination with
      lenalidomide.

      III. To document the infection rate with a 96-hour bag change schedule for blinatumomab.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide.

      INDUCTION: Patients receive blinatumomab intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-56 and
      lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 29-49 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
      toxicity.

      CONSOLIDATION: Patients achieving response including stable disease receive blinatumomab IV
      continuously on days 1-7 and lenalidomide PO on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days
      for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      MAINTENANCE: Patients receiving response including stable disease after completion of
      Consolidation receive lenalidomide PO on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2
      years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

             administered more than 4 weeks earlier

          -  Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

          -  Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial
             because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic
             dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events

             infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
             arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
             study requirements

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because lenalidomide is an agent with the
             potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but
             potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
             mother with lenalidomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Incidence of toxicity
Time Frame:Up to 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be graded as according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (version 5.0 beginning April 1, 2018). Toxicities (grade, type, cycle, and attribution) experienced will be listed for each patient and summarized using standard descriptive methods.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Clinical anti-tumor response (complete response and partial response as per International workshop lymphoma response criteria)
Time Frame:Up to 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be summarized using standard descriptive methods.
Measure:Changes in the frequency of CD4+ T cells
Time Frame:Baseline to up to day 57
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed and compared at each time point, using regression methods that incorporate repeated measures. For each of the first 2 CD4+ measures, will compare the day 0 values (prior to any treatment) to the day 15 values (after 2 weeks of blinatumomab) and the day 57 (after 4 weeks of the both blinatumomab and lenalidomide) to the day 15 value. Additional analysis, will be undertaken to explore the relationship between changes (or lack of changes) and response. The paired-sample t-test will be used to provide a sense of the power/sensitivity that will be available for these comparisons.
Measure:Changes in the production of interferon (INF)-gamma from CD4+ T cells
Time Frame:Baseline to up to day 57
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed and compared at each time point, using regression methods that incorporate repeated measures. For each of the first CD8+ T-cell frequencies and INF-gamma production, will compare the day 0 values (prior to any treatment) to the day 15 values (after 2 weeks of blinatumomab) and the day 57 (after 4 weeks of the both blinatumomab and lenalidomide) to the day 15 value. Additional analysis, will be undertaken to explore the relationship between changes (or lack of changes) and response. The paired-sample t-test will be used to provide a sense of the power/sensitivity that will be available for these comparisons.
