CAPILANO: This phase II trial is evaluating the effectiveness of an intravenous drug (Blinatumomab) in treating patients with High-risk Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma following an autologous Hematopoietic Stem-cell TransplantationA Phase 2 Open-Label Study to Determine the Effect of Blinatumomab on Minimal Residual Disease in Subjects With High-risk Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Post-autologous Hematopoietic Stem-cell Transplantation

Clinical summary

Summary

This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single arm estimation study in adult subjects with high-risk DLBCL in complete remission. The study will consist of up to a 21-day screening period, a run-in period of up to 24 months, a 12-week treatment period (8 weeks of blinatumomab treatment followed by a 4-week treatment free period), a 30-day safety follow-up visit after the last dose of blinatumomab, and a long-term follow-up period that begins after the safety follow-up visit is completed until 1 year from the first dose of blinatumomab. The study will enroll approximately 90 subjects in the screening period with biopsy proven, high-risk DLBCL that are positron emission tomography-computer tomography (PET-CT) negative 90 days (± 30 days) post aHSCT. During the run-in period subjects will be followed by clinic visits at regular interval for up to 24 months for monitoring of MRD status in plasma by a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based assay. It is estimated 30 subjects will be either MRD-positive at screening or become MRD-positive during the 24-month run-in period. The number of subjects enrolled may be altered in order to ensure that approximately 30 subjects are assigned to treatment with blinatumomab. Enrollment may be stopped, once approximately 30 subjects have been assigned to treatment with blinatumomab.

Eligibility

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria - Part 1

  • Subject has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures or subject's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent prior to any study-specific activities/procedures being initiated when the subject has any kind of condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent.
  • Age ≥ 18 at time of informed consent

  • Subject has ≥ 1 characteristic feature of high-risk DLBCL:

    • High-risk first complete remission (defined as interim positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET-CT) positive or < complete remission to frontline chemotherapy AND achieved complete remission to platinum-containing salvage)
    • Relapse within 1 year of diagnosis
    • Secondary age-adjusted international prognostic index > 1
    • Partial response/partial metabolic response after minimum of 2 cycles of platinum-containing salvage chemotherapy
    • C-myc rearrangement
  • aHSCT with high-dose chemotherapy following first (or later) salvage treatment.
  • PET-CT negative (Deauville score ≤ 3) 90 days (± 30 days) post aHSCT
  • Available relapsed and/or diagnostic pathology formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block or slide samples at the time of enrollment including the successful identification of malignant clone sequences by the central laboratory.
  • MRD plasma sample collected ≤ 3 weeks after the post aHSCT PET-CT scan
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
  • Adequate organ function determined ≤ 3 weeks prior to enrollment defined as follows:

    • Hematological:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 109/L Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL

  • Renal:

Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min Cockcroft-Gault equation

  • Hepatic:

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Total bilirubin < 2 x ULN (unless Gilbert's Disease or if liver involvement with lymphoma)

  • Subject will be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject's and investigator's knowledge including but not limited to:
  • Completion of up to a 24-month run-in period
  • Completion of all regularly scheduled study visits including blood draws for MRD assessment, clinical disease state assessment, PET-CT scans (ie, at time of MRD positivity or relapse), assignment to treatment with blinatumomab

    • Other Inclusion criteria may apply. See "Inclusion and Exclusion criteria - Part 2".

Inclusion Criteria - Part 2

  • MRD-positive assessment (by NGS analysis) at enrollment or at any time during the run-in 1 period
  • PET-CT negative (defined by Deauville criteria ≤ 3) at run-in 2 performed ≤ 3 weeks from MRD test result available to the site at run-in 1. Historical PET-CT are allowed if performed ≤ 6 weeks from day 1 (first dose of blinatumomab) and subject has no clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of disease progression (eg, increase in lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] not otherwise explained)
  • Adequate organ function determined ≤ 7 days prior to treatment assignment with blinatumomab as follows:

    • Hematological:

ANC ≥ 1.0 x 109/L Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/L Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L
