NAVAL-1: This study is evaluating the effectiveness of a combination treatment in people with relapsed or refractory Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) lymphomasAn Open-Label, Phase 2 Trial of Nanatinostat in Combination With Valganciclovir in Patients With Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) Relapsed/Refractory Lymphomas

Clinical summary

Summary

People with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) associated lymphomas have inferior outcomes with standard of care therapies compared to those eith EBV-negative disease. This study is evaluating the efficacy of nanatinostat in combination with valganciclovir in people with relapsed/refractory EBV-positive lymphomas. Nanatinostat is a selective class I HDAC inhibitor which induces EBV lytic phase protein generation, activating (val)ganciclovir to its cytotoxic form.

The study will include the following cohorts if people with EBV+ relapsed/refractory lymphomas:

  • EBV+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, NOS)
  • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), including PTCL-NOS and AITL
  • Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD)
  • EBV+ lymphoproliferative disorders other than the above, including Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL)

Eligible participants will receive nanatinostat (20mg) orally once daily, on days 1-4 per week with valganciclovir (900mg) orally once daily. Up to 10 PTCL patients will receive nanatinostat (20mg) orally once daily, days 1-4 per week. Treatment cycles are 28-days.
