A Phase I/II Study of Frontline Therapy With Polatuzumab Vedotin (Pola) Plus Rituximab (R) in Patients With Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD)

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
SUMMARY

This study will test polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab in patients with treatment-naïve CD20-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) based on the established efficacy of polatuzumab vedotin in B-cell lymphomas and the inadequate response rate of PTLD to single-agent rituximab. The hypothesis is that this combination therapy will be safe, well-tolerated, and effective. If so, patients with PTLD will be able to be spared the toxicity of anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Additionally, the role of the tumor microenvironment and the role of anellovirus, a non-human pathogen virus, will be explored as prognostic markers in PTLD.

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

• Previously untreated biopsy-confirmed CD20-positive monomorphic post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (or CD20-positive lymphoma associated with immune deficiency) arising after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This may be defined by either the 2016 World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms or the 2022 International consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms or the 2022 World Health Organization classification.

• At least 18 years of age.

• ECOG performance status ≤ 3.

• Adequate hematologic and organ function (unless due to underlying lymphoma per the investigator) as defined below:

‣ Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 K/cumm

⁃ Platelets ≥ 75 K/cumm

⁃ Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL

⁃ Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x IULN

⁃ AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) \< 2.5 x IULN

⁃ Creatinine clearance \> 30 mL/min measured or by Cockcroft-Gault

• Note: Patients with extensive bone marrow involvement by lymphoma and/or disease-related cytopenias may be enrolled if the following criteria are met:

‣ ANC ≥ 0.5 K/cumm

⁃ Platelets ≥ 50 K/cumm

⁃ Hemoglobin ≥ 7.0 g/dL

• The effects of polatuzumab vedotin and rituximab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a participant become pregnant or suspect pregnancy while participating in this study, the participant must inform the treating physician immediately.

• Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.

Treatments
Experimental: Polatuzumab vedotin + Rituximab (Safety Lead-in Low Risk/Interim Complete Remission)
* Cycle 1 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~ * Day 8: rituximab~ * Day 15: rituximab~* Cycle 2 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~* After Cycle 2, a response assessment will be performed. Patients who show a complete response (and are therefore determined to be low risk) will continue to receive polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 additional cycles (6 cycles of treatment total).
Experimental: Polatuzumab vedotin + Rituximab (Expansion Low Risk/Interim Complete Remission)
* Cycle 1 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~ * Day 8: rituximab~ * Day 15: rituximab~* Cycle 2 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~* After Cycle 2, a response assessment will be performed. Patients who show a complete response (and are therefore determined to be low risk) will continue to receive polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 additional cycles (6 cycles of treatment total).
Experimental: Polatuzumab vedotin + Rituximab + CHP (Safety Lead-in High Risk/Lack of Interim Complete Remission))
* Cycle 1 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~ * Day 8: rituximab~ * Day 15: rituximab~* Cycle 2 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~* After Cycle 2, a response assessment will be performed. Patients who show anything other than a complete response (and are therefore determined to be high risk) will receive polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab + CHP (cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + prednisone) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 additional cycles, followed by 2 final cycles of CHP alone on Day 1 (8 cycles of treatment total).
Experimental: Polatuzumab vedotin + Rituximab + CHP (Expansion High Risk/Lack of Interim Complete Remission)
* Cycle 1 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~ * Day 8: rituximab~ * Day 15: rituximab~* Cycle 2 (21 days)~ * Day 1: polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab~* After Cycle 2, a response assessment will be performed. Patients who show anything other than a complete response (and are therefore determined to be high risk) will receive polatuzumab vedotin + rituximab + CHP (cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + prednisone) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 additional cycles, followed by 2 final cycles of CHP alone on Day 1 (8 cycles of treatment total).
