A Phase 2, Open-label, Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of the Loncastuximab in Relapsed/Refractory Marginal Zone Lymphoma

Description

The purpose of this research study is to see if loncastuximab tesirine has any benefits at dose levels researchers found acceptable in earlier studies in patients with related forms of immune cell cancers. The researchers want to find out the effects (good and bad) that loncastuximab tesirine has on the participant and the participant's condition.

Subjects with gastric extranodal MZL histologically confirmed and need therapy but do not have measurable disease and in which response to treatment can be assess by multiple random gastric biopsies. 4. Subjects with conjunctival EMZL who do not meet the radiographically measurable disease criteria described herein are eligible for participation provided that conjunctival lesion measures ≥ 1 cm in diameter by tape measure and is documented by photo or there are multiple conjunctival lesions measuring together \>1 5cm that cannot be treated by radiation because of previous radiation therapy, contraindications to radiation and patient refusal to receive radiation therapy. At least one of these lesions needs be histologically confirmed as MZL. 5. Subjects must be willing to provide a lymph node or tissue biopsy from the most recent available archival tissue or undergo an incisional or excisional lymph node or tissue biopsy. a. Subjects with splenic MZL who do not have a tumor to biopsy or an archival tumor tissue sample are eligible for participation provided subject is willing to undergo a bone marrow biopsy or provide an archival bone marrow biopsy that was obtained before the date of the first dose of study treatment; bone marrow sample must show histologically confirmed infiltration of MZL. 6.

Life expectancy \> 3 months. 8. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ) performance status 0 to 2 (Refer to Appendix A).69 9. Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function tested within 6 weeks prior to the start of therapy (values must not be achieved with growth factors): 1. ANC (absolute neutrophil count ) ≥ 1.0 × 109/L. 2. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL. 3. Platelet count ≥ 50 × 109/L. 4. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (upper limit of normal ). Subjects with documented history of Gilbert's syndrome and in whom total bilirubin elevations are accompanied by elevated indirect bilirubin are eligible. 5. ALT(alanine aminotransferase) /AST (aspartate aminotransferase ) ≤ 3.0 ULN or ≤ 5 × ULN in the presence of liver involvement by lymphoma. 6. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault Equation70 or the estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. 10. Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below: 1.

Woman of childbearing potential who has a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and who agrees to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through safety follow-up at least 9 months after the last dose of loncastuximab tesirine. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy should be communicated to the subject and their understanding confirmed. 11. Man, who agrees to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering children (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy should be communicated to the subject and their understanding confirmed. Exclusion Criteria: 1.
