Clinical summary

Summary

This is a dose escalation and expansion trial. Eligible participants will receive an escalating or recommended dose of either RO6870810 and venetoclax, or RO6870810 and venetoclax and rituximab, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, withdrawal from treatment or death.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2.
  • Life expectancy >3 months as per investigator's assessment.
  • Part 1 and Part 2 Group 1: Participantts with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) relapsed or refractory to ≥ 1 course of chemotherapy including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, and not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (including due to chemorefractory disease). Participants with transformed FL are eligible, provided DLBCL or HGBL-DH/TH histology is biopsy-confirmed prior to study entry and a treatment regimen as described above has been administered. The Sponsor retains the option to limit the number of participants enrolled with transformed FL.

Part 2, Group 2: Patients identified with DE-DLBCL (expression MYC ≥40%, BCL2 > 50%) and or HGBL-DH/TH, relapsed or refractory to >= 1 course of chemotherapy including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, and not eligible for ASCT (including due to chemorefractory disease). Patients with transformed follicular lymphoma (FL) are eligible, provided DE-DLBCL and/or HGBL-DH/TH histology is biopsy-confirmed prior to study entry and a treatment regimen as described above has been administered. The Sponsor retains the option to limit the number of participants enrolled with transformed FL.

  • Part 1 and Part 2: Willing to provide the protocol specified tumor biopsy(ies): at screening a fresh biopsy (if no archival biopsy tissue of less than 3 months prior to treatment and without intercurrent treatment is available); Part 2: Willing to provide an additional biopsy on Cycle 2 Day 15 (+ 2 days).
  • Acceptable liver function, as specified below:

    • Total bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN). (Participants with known Gilbert's disease who has serum bilirubin ≤ 3 × ULN may be enrolled).
    • Aspartate transaminase (AST; SGOT), alanine transaminase (ALT; SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, (or ≤ 5 × ULN if tumor involvement (liver) is present).
    • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
  • Acceptable renal function, as specified below:

    • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) calculated by Cockroft-Gault formula of ≥ 60 mL/min.

  • Acceptable hematologic status (growth factors cannot be used within the previous 7 days), as specified below:

    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 cells/μL
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
    • Platelet count ≥ 75,000 (platelets/μL)
  • Uncontrolled symptomatic hypercalcemia.
  • Acceptable coagulation status, as specified below:

    • Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.2 × ULN (unless receiving anticoagulation therapy, if receiving anticoagulation therapy, eligibility will be based upon international normalized ratio [INR]).
    • INR ≤ 1.6 (unless receiving anticoagulation therapy).
    • If receiving warfarin: INR ≤ 3.0 and no active bleeding (i.e., no bleeding within 14 days prior to first dose of study therapy).
  • Acceptable method of contraception

Exclusion

  • Current central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or leptomeningeal infiltration.
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV cardiac disease, myocardial infarction, within the past 6 months, unstable arrhythmia, or known pericardial disease.
  • Fredericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) >470 msec (female) or >450 msec (male), or history of congenital long QT syndrome.
  • Any electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality, which in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude safe participation in the study.
  • Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, within 7 days of study entry requiring systemic therapy.
  • Clinically important respiratory impairment
  • Grade ≥ 3 sensory or motor neuropathy.
  • Any Grade >1 (according to the NCI CTCAE 4.03) adverse reaction unresolved from previous treatments and not readily managed and controlled with supportive care.
  • Serious non-malignant disease that could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the Investigator and/or the Sponsor.
  • History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
  • History of other malignancy within 2 years prior to screening, except for ductal carcinoma in situ not requiring chemotherapy, appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, low-grade, localized prostate cancer (Gleason score ≤ 7) not requiring treatment or appropriately treated Stage I uterine cancer.
  • Completion of ASCT within 100 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle1.
  • Prior standard or investigational anti-cancer therapy, as specified below:

    • Radio-immunoconjugate 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.
