About this trial
This is an interventional study to evaluate the use of CTO1681 in preventing or reducing CAR T-cell-induced toxicities like cytokine release syndrome (CRS). This study will enroll adult patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma who are scheduled to receive CAR T-cell therapy.
The first phase of the study is open label with dose escalation. Participants will start taking CTO1681 either the day before starting lymphodepleting chemotherapy or just prior to receiving their CAR T-cell therapy, depending on their cohort assignment. In both cases participants will continue to take the study drug three times daily until 13 days after their CAR T-cell infusion.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18 years or older.
Undergone leukapheresis and is scheduled to receive protocol-specified CAR T-cell therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel, lisocabtagene maraleucel, idecabtagene vicleucel, or ciltacabtagene autoleucel) for relapsed or refractory lymphoma or multiple myeloma. All patients must have relapsed or refractory disease to at least one prior line of systemic therapy. Prior CAR T-cell therapy is allowable with approval from the Sponsor and Medical Monitor.
Met all inclusion criteria for CAR T-cell therapy per institutional guidelines.
Estimated Creatinine Clearance per Cockroft Gault formula ≥ 60 mL/min.
Disqualifiers
Any cytotoxic chemotherapy within 14 days prior to leukapheresis.
Clinically significant malabsorption syndromes and swallowing difficulties which are inadequately controlled with medication (eg, odynophagia, dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease) as per Investigator assessment.
Potassium < 3.0 or > 5.5 mmol/L
Sodium < 130 or > 150 mmol/L
