Nivolumab/Ipilimumab-Primed Immunotransplant for DLBCL

NCT03305445

Description:

This multi-center study open-label trial will enroll a single cohort of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients whom are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) due to 1) insensitivity to salvage chemotherapy, or 2) inability to tolerate high-dose myeloablative chemotherapy. All patients will receive dual checkpoint blocking antibody (DCBA) therapy with established doses currently being used in phase III trials of ipilimumab (1mg/kg) and nivolumab (3mg/kg) given at three week intervals, two times before, and two times following "immunotransplant" in which T cells (in whole PBMCs) are cryopreserved and re-infused (adoptive T cell transfer or ATCT) following lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen, currently being employed in adoptive T cell therapies.

             Note: Subjects with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may
             qualify for the study.

             Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the
             toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.

          7. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment.
             Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the
             skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.

          8. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or lymphomatous

             drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid
             replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a
             systemic treatment. Subjects on stable dose of corticosteroids less than or equivalent
             to 10mg of prednisone daily for more than 3 months may be enrolled, and continue their

             participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of
             the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator.

         13. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with
             cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

         14. Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the
             projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit
             through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment (roughly two and a half years
             after enrollment).

         18. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy. Note:
             Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and

             attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed.
