Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of VAY736 alone or in combination with other therapies in patients with NHL in a platform trial.

Detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with NHL and identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose (RD) of VAY736 single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. This is a phase I/Ib, multi-center, open-label study with multiple treatment arms in an adaptive study design. The study is comprised of a dose escalation part and dose expansion part. In dose escalation, the investigational drug VAY736 was explored alone or in combination with lenalidomide. Increasing doses of VAY736 alone or in combination were given to small groups of patients to identify the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose (MTD/RD) in patients with NHL. In dose expansion, some or all the treatments from dose escalation could be tested at the recommended doses in patients with NHL. The study was expected to last approximately 4 years (from the enrollment of the first patient to the discontinuation of the last patient), but it was terminated early due to a business decision, not because of any safety or tolerability concerns. Consequently, the dose expansion part was not conducted.

Interventions

DRUGVAY736

VAY736 is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) which targets the B cell activating factor receptor (BAFF-R) expressed on the surface of differentiated B cells and modulates their function.

DRUGlenalidomide

Immune-modulatory agent that enhances activation of NK cells.

Inclusion criteria

* Adult patients with confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL with all subtypes of DLBCL, follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) per WHO 2016 criteria. Patients in subtype arm e.g. DLBCL must have confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory DLBCL. * Received and failed or be intolerant to standard of care therapy (at least two prior lines, including an anti-CD20 therapy for NHL) * Must have measurable disease and ECOG of 0 to 2

Exclusion criteria

* Baseline laboratory results outside of protocol defined ranges * Patients with primary CNS lymphoma * History of hypersensitivity to VAY736 or any drugs in similar chemical classes (e.g. monoclonal antibodies) * Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease * History of or current interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis grade 2 or higher * HIV infection * Active hepatitis C infection and/or hepatitis B infection * Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women * Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception Other Inclusion/
