Randomized Phase 2 Study With Safety Run-In of PD-1 Inhibitor and IgG4 SIRPα-Fc Fusion Protein (TTI-622) and PD-1 Inhibitor and IgG1 SIRPα-Fc Fusion Protein (TTI-621) in Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Description
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of TTI-621 or TTI-622 in combination with pembrolizumab in treating patients with diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed). TTI-621 and TTI-622 are called fusion proteins. A fusion protein includes two specialized proteins that are joined together. In TTI-621 and TTI-622, one of the proteins binds with other proteins found on the surface of certain cells that are part of the immune system. The other protein targets and blocks a protein called CD47. CD47 is present on cancer cells and is used by those cells to hide from the body's immune system. By blocking CD47, TTI-621 and TTI-622 may help the immune system find and destroy cancer cells. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against human cell surface receptor PD-1 (programmed death-1 or programmed cell death-1) that works by helping the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spr
