Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men and women aged ≥18 years.
- Disease as defined below:
- Part 1: Patients with symptomatic CLL or SLL (defined by iwCLL) without del(17p)/TP53 must have received ≥2 prior therapies that have included a BTKi and venetoclax (or declined this) or Patients with progressive low-grade lymphoma that includes marginal zone lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (including Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia) who have received at least 2 therapies including a BTKi and CD20 antibody-based therapy.
- Part 2: Patients with symptomatic CLL or SLL (defined by iwCLL) must have received ≥1 prior therapies that have included a BTKi and be venetoclax naive.
- Prior to beginning part 2, an activation amendment will be submitted to the FDA that includes safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and early efficacy data from the Part 1 portion. At this time, we may also include cohorts of specific types of low-grade lymphoma as well. Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal functions as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days before the first dose of study drug:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 0.75 x 109/L. For subjects with documented bone marrow involvement ≥ 0.5 x 109/L
- Platelet count \> 50 x 109/L. For subjects with documented bone marrow involvement ≥ 30 x 109/L
- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST/SGOT) or alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Creatinine or Cystatin C glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥60 mL/min. Estimated GFR (eGFR) according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD) formula and expressed in mL/min. To convert mL/min/1.73 m2 to mL/min multiply by the individual's BSA calculated using an appropriate formula and divide by 1.73 Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or less Negative serum or urine pregnancy test must be obtained within 7 days before the first dose of study drug in women of childbearing potential. Negative results must also be available before each cycle.
- Postmenopausal women, as defined below, are exempt from pregnancy testing:
- Age \>50 years with amenorrhea for at least 12 months or
- Age ≤50 years with 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level within postmenopausal range (\>40 mIU/mL) OR
- Permanently sterilized women (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or uterine ablation) Women and men of reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective contraception when sexually active. This applies for the period between signing of the informed consent and 90 days after the last administration of study drug. These methods should be documented in source documents. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the subject on how to achieve highly effective birth control. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. A signed informed consent (including consent for genetic biomarker
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects will be excluded from the study if they display any of the following criteria:
- FOR PART 2 ONLY
- \- No prior venetoclax treatment
- FOR BOTH PARTS ALL THE FOLLOWING APPLY:
- Know active Richter's transformation. Patients who have been treated for this diagnosis and have been in remission for \> 2 years without evidence of this and who have only CLL are considered eligible
- Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or excipients of the preparation or any agent given in association with this study.
- Clinically significant cardiac disease including congestive heart failure \> New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, evidence for uncontrolled coronary artery disease (e.g., unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) or new-onset angina (within the last 6 months or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months before first dose, major regional wall motion abnormalities upon baseline echocardiography), and cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti- arrhythmic therapy except for beta-blockers and digoxin.
- Known Active cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B or C virus infection.
- Known Active SARS-CoV-2 infection; prior SARS-CoV-2 infection allowed if completely recovered \> 14 days.
- Active clinically serious infections of Grade \>2, requiring parenteral therapy; Subjects may be eligible after infection resolves.
- Uncontrolled autoimmune hemolytic anemia or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura within 28 days of enrolment.
- Allogeneic bone marrow transplant within 4 months before first dose of study drug (Subjects must have completed immunosuppressive therapy before enrollment).
- A physical exam or laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of investigational therapy or otherwise places the subject at excessively high risk for treatment, as determined by the investigator. A discussion between the investigator and sponsor regarding eligibility is encouraged for such cases.
- Unresolved toxicity of previous treatments (excluding cases of alopecia) Grade ≥2.
- Requires ongoing immunosuppressive therapy, including systemic (e.g., intravenous or oral) corticosteroids for the treatment of cancer or other conditions. Note: Subjects may use topical or inhaled corticosteroids or low-dose steroids (≤10 mg of prednisone or equivalent per day) as therapy for comorbid conditions. Short courses of steroids before first dose are allowed for tumor flare.
