Brief Summary
This first-in-human study will evaluate the recommended dose for further clinical development, safety, tolerability, antineoplastic activity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IKS03, a CD19 targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Study Arms (5)
Dose Escalation Cohort (Part 1)
EXPERIMENTALEach patient will receive repeat doses (by intravenous (IV) infusions) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria is met.
Dose Expansion: Diffuse-Large B-Cell Lymphoma Participants
EXPERIMENTALEach patient will receive IKS03 at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) defined in Part 1 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria is met.
Dose Expansion: Follicular Cell Lymphoma Participants
EXPERIMENTALEach patient will receive IKS03 at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) defined in Part 1 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria is met.
Dose Expansion: Mantle Cell Lymphoma Participants
EXPERIMENTALEach patient will receive IKS03 at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) defined in Part 1 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria is met.
Dose Expansion: Other B cell lymphoma (B-NHL not otherwise specified [NOS])
EXPERIMENTALEach patient will receive IKS03 at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) defined in Part 1 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria is met.
Interventions
IKS03 is a human monoclonal antibody (Ab) targeting CD19 linked to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) pro-drug as the cytotoxic agent.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Males or females, ≥ 18 years of age
- Part 1: documented B cell NHL (any subtype except Burkitt lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia); previously confirmed CD19-positive if feasible
- Part 2: documented B cell NHL (subtypes to be determined); confirmed CD19-positive; possible expansion cohorts may include:
- Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (including germinal center B cell type, activated B cell type)
- Follicular lymphoma (including duodenal-type follicular lymphoma)
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- B cell lymphomas not specified
- If B cell NHL subtype likely to have bone marrow involvement must be willing to undergo bone marrow biopsy in the event of an on-study complete response to confirm response
- NHL that is relapsed, refractory to, or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) with known curative potential, or for which no standard therapy is available; must have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy
- Must be in need of systemic treatment and not require immediate cytoreductive therapy
- Part 1: measurable or non-measurable disease
- Part 2: measurable disease according to The Revised Criteria/Lugano Classification
- Part 1: screening tumor biopsy requested, but optional; Part 2: patient must agree to screening tumor biopsy
- ECOG performance status 0 or 1; anticipated life expectancy ≥ 10 weeks
- Women of childbearing potential and fertile men agreeing to use two effective methods of contraception (including a highly effective method of contraception); women beginning 2 weeks prior to the first dose, men beginning prior to the first dose, and both continuing until 8 months after the last dose of study drug; male patients must also agree to refrain from sperm donation during this period.
- +1 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Women who are pregnant or intending to become pregnant before, during, or within 8 months after the last dose of study drug; women who are breastfeeding
- Patients documented to be CD19-negative
- Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, leptomeningeal infiltration, or spinal cord compression not controlled by prior surgery or radiotherapy; symptoms suggesting CNS involvement
- Part 2: History of another malignancy within 2 years, with the exception of:
- Treated, non-melanoma skin cancers
- Treated carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast, cervix)
- Controlled, superficial carcinoma of the urinary bladder
- T1a or b prostate carcinoma treated according to standard of care, with PSA within normal limits
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma Stage I treated surgically for cure
- Any of the following hematologic abnormalities at baseline (transfusion allowed \> 5 days previous):
- Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count \< 1,000 per mm3
- Platelet count \< 75,000 per mm3
- Any of the following laboratory abnormalities at baseline:
- Total bilirubin \> 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); \> 3 × ULN if with Gilbert's Syndrome
- +63 more criteria
