BLIN: This phase II/III trial is evaluating a drug (Blinatumomab) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin LymphomaA Phase 2/3 Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Blinatumomab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B-Cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma

Inclusion

• Biopsy proven aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS), follicular lymphoma Grade 3B, PMBCL, T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL that represents transformation of indolent non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), (including follicular, marginal zone, and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma) excluding chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Hodgkin Lymphoma. The following histologies are not eligible:

  • Lymphoblastic lymphoma
  • Burkitt lymphoma
  • Mantle cell lymphoma Any histologies not specifically mentioned must be discussed with medical monitor.
• Refractory (no prior CR/CMR) or relapsed (prior CMR) following front line treatment of standard multiagent chemotherapy containing an anthracycline AND an approved anti-CD20 agent. For subjects with refractory disease and who have received radiotherapy, PET positivity should be demonstrated no less than 6 weeks after the last dose of radiotherapy
• Biopsy proven confirmation of relapsed disease.
• Received a minimum of 2 cycles of standard of care platinum-based chemotherapy in the S1 setting and had a response of progressive metabolic disease (PMD), no metabolic response (NMR), partial metabolic response (PMR) as centrally assessed by PET-/ CT scan or received at least 1 cycle of S1 chemotherapy and had evidence of PMD as centrally assessed. A pre-salvage scan is required to be submitted to the central reader if a subject had only 1 cycle of pre-salvage chemotherapy.
• Radiographically measurable disease with a demarcated nodal lesion at least 1.5 cm in its largest dimension or a target extranodal lesion at least 1.0 cm in its largest dimension
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status less than or equal to 2
• Intention to proceed to high dose chemotherapy (HDT) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
• Laboratory parameters:

Hematology:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 10^9/L
• Platelets ≥ 75 x 10^9/L

Chemistry:

• Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3X upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Total bilirubin (TBL) < 2x ULN (unless Gilbert's disease or if liver involvement with lymphoma)
