About this trial
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tegavivint in treating patients with large b-cell lymphomas that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tegavivint may help control the disease.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Increased expression of MYC (>= 40%) and BCL2 (>= 50%) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or
Presence of isolated MYC translocation Or
Relapsed/refractory histologically confirmed high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) (double hit [DH] and triple hit [TH]) with translocations of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Or
Histologic transformation of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) to DLBCL
Disqualifiers
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to tegavivint or other agents used in study
Known active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, history of CNS involvement allowed if in remission for >= 3 months
Evidence of chronic active Hepatitis B, chronic active Hepatitis C infection
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy (e.g., strong CYP3A inhibitors and/or concomitant medications that are excluded) are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with tegavivint

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity
1\) To be declared as dose-limiting toxicity, an adverse event must be related (definite, probable, or possible) to study treatment during the first cycle of therapy only (first 28 days). Any death at least possibly related to tegavivint will be a DLT. No DLTs observed thus far.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for tegavivint
Determination of the MTD of tegavivint using a 3+3 design.
Determination of the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of tegavivint
2\) This study uses a traditional "3+3" designs. We therefore anticipate a total sample size of 12 with the maximum expected sample size of 24. Primary endpoint not yet reached.
Secondary outcomes
Overall response rate (ORR)
Will be estimated by molecular subtype and across subtypes with exact 80% and 90% confidence intervals.
Complete response (CR) rate
Will be estimated by molecular subtype and across subtypes with exact 80% and 90% confidence intervals.
Duration of response (DOR)
Will be summarized by the Kaplan-Meier method, and two-year estimates will be provided with 80% and 90% confidence intervals, for each subtype and for all patients.
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Will be summarized by the Kaplan-Meier method, and two-year estimates will be provided with 80% and 90% confidence intervals, for each subtype and for all patients.
Other outcomes
Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis AUC0-t
The reporting of pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined based on the final parameter analysis on the available data. Parameters will be assessed using AUC0-t
Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis AUC0-infinity
The reporting of pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined based on the final parameter analysis on the available data. Parameters will be assessed using AUC0-infinity.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis Tmax
The reporting of pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined based on the final parameter analysis on the available data. Parameters will be assessed using Tmax
Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis Cmax
The reporting of pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined based on the final parameter analysis on the available data. Parameters will be assessed using Cmax.
