A Phase I/II Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Combination With Romidepsin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

Who is this study for? Adult patients with Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma
Status: Active_not_recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug, Biological
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
SUMMARY

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab and romidepsin and to see how well they work in treating participants with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back or that does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Romidepsin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and romidepsin may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating participants with recurrent or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (including but not limited to PTCL-NOS, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma). Patients with mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation with measurable disease are eligible.

• Disease status defined as refractory to or relapsed after ≥ 1 prior treatment lines.

• Patients irrespective of transplant eligibility status can be enrolled; however patients can be seen by SCT team in anticipation for SCT.

• Subjects with ALK+ ALCL should have been treated with, be ineligible for, or have refused chemotherapy and brentuximab prior to enrollment on the current study.

• Patients with a measurable disease, defined by a node or mass with the longest diameter ≥ 1.5cm.

∙ In order to be eligible for participation in this trial, the subject must:

• Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.

• Be 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.

• Patients with PTCL should have radiographically measurable disease \>/= 1.5cm.

• Be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion. Newly-obtained is defined as a specimen obtained up to 12 weeks(84 days) prior to initiation of treatment on Day 1. Subjects for whom newly-obtained samples cannot be provided (e.g. inaccessible or subject safety concern) may submit an archived specimen.

• Have a performance status of 0, 1 or 2 on the ECOG Performance Scale.

• Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in Table 1, all screening labs should be performed within 14 days of treatment initiation.

• Table 1 Adequate Organ Function Laboratory Values System Laboratory Value

⁃ Hematological

⁃ Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 /mcL

⁃ Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL. If bone marrow is involved, platelets should be at least 50K and ANC 750 / mcL

⁃ Hemoglobin ≥ 8g/dL without transfusion or EPO dependency (within 7 days of assessment)

⁃ Renal

⁃ Serum creatinine OR Measured or calculateda creatinine clearance (GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl) ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR

‣ ≥60 mL/min for subject with creatinine levels \> 1.5 X institutional ULN

⁃ Hepatic

⁃ Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN

⁃ AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR

‣ ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases

⁃ Albumin \> 2 mg/dL

⁃ Coagulation International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants aCreatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard.

• Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.

• Female subjects of childbearing potential (Section 5.7.2) must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception as outlined in Section 5.7.2 - Contraception, for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication.

• Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject.

• Male subjects of childbearing potential (Section 5.7. .2 must agree to use an adequate method of contraception as outlined in Section 5.7. .2- Contraception, starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.

• Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject.

⁃ Relapsed/refractory Cutaneous T cell Lymphomas (CTCL) patients with transformed and aggressive T Cell with predominant lymph node involvement and those that are measurable by standard T Cell criterial. These patients require failure of at least one prior systemic therapy for the transformed lymphoma.
