About this trial

The Glo-BNHL trial is trying to find better medicines for children and young people with B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL) that does not go away (refractory B-NHL) or does but comes back again (relapsed B-NHL). B-NHL is a type of cancer that develops inside or outside of lymph nodes (glands) and organs such as the liver or spleen. Examples of B-NHL are Burkitt Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, which may be other names used to describe this type of cancer. It is very difficult to cure relapsed or refractory B-NHL. The medicines used now are very powerful with many side effects and only cure around 30 in every 100 children treated. It is very important that investigators quickly find better medicines for these children and young people.

The Glo-BNHL trial will include three groups of children and young people, each given a new medicine (either alone or with chemotherapy). The investigators are looking to make sure the new medicines are safe and that they work to treat the cancer. If the medicine in one group does not work for a child in the trial, then they may be able to join a different group to have another new medicine.

Experts from around the world will carefully pick the medicines most likely to be helpful to be part of the trial. If one of the new medicines seems not to be working as well as hoped then the investigators will take it out of the trial as soon as possible. This will let other new medicines be added to the trial and tested. If a medicine does seem to be working well, then it will continue in the trial to make sure it really is the most useful medicine available.

Children from around the world will be invited to take part in the trial. The investigators will then check on them for at least two years after they finish the trial treatment to look for possible side effects of the new medicine.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically proven mature B-NHL (Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt Lymphoma/Leukaemia or atypical Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL), and mature B-NHL/Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)) at initial diagnosis

Radiologically and/or histologically proven B-NHL in first relapse (only one prior line of therapy) or subsequent relapse (more than one prior line of therapy) or refractory(*) B-NHL. (Note: relapses following prior targeted therapy must have continuing target positivity, confirmed by an established method).

If relapse occurs more than two years after previous therapy, a biopsy must be performed

at least one bi-dimensionally measurable nodal lesion >1.5 cm in its longest dimension;

Disqualifiers

90 days after an allogenic HSCT procedure

45 days after an autologous HSCT procedure

28 days of experiencing graft versus host disease (GvHD) requiring systemic therapy, and/or immunosuppressive treatment
