Zanubrutinib and Lisocabtagene Maraleucel for the Treatment of Richter's Syndrome

This phase II trial tests how well zanubrutinib and lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) work together in treating patients with Richter's syndrome that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Richter's syndrome occurs when chronic lymphocytic leukemia and/or small lymphocytic leukemia transforms into an aggressive lymphoma, which is a cancer of the lymph nodes. Zanubrutinib is a class of medication called a kinase inhibitor. These drugs work by preventing the action of abnormal proteins that tell cancer cells to multiply, which helps stop the spread of cancer. Liso-cel is a type of treatment known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving zanubrutinib and liso-cell together may kill more cancer cells in patients with recurrent or refractory Richter's syndrome.

Golcadomide Post-CAR T-cell in R/R Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma Patients With High Risk of Relapse

This study is an open-label, multicenter, proof of concept, phase 2 trial. Patients will be recruited over 18 months. Safety analysis will be performed with a stop of the enrollment after 3 patients have either 1 complete treatment cycle or permanently discontinued treatment whichever occurs first. Approximatively 65 patients with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) (including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), any transformed follicular or marginal zone lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL)) will be enrolled in the study. The duration of treatment with golcadomide (CELMoD) is 24 weeks with 6 cycles of 28 days (4 weeks), starting at 5 days after CAR-T cells infusion. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the efficacy of golcadomide administered post-anti-CD19 CAR T-cell infusion, Efficacy determination will be based upon the primary endpoint of complete metabolic response (CMR) rate at 3 months after infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell assessed by study investigator.
