About this trial

The purpose of this research is to see if Loncastuximab Tesirine in combination with Rituximab will result in higher complete response rate when given to treat follicular lymphoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men and women ≥ 18 years of age.

Patients must have histologic confirmation of Follicular Lymphoma (FL) (grade 1, 2 and 3A). Note: Participants who have received previous CD19-directed therapy must have a biopsy which shows CD19 expression after completion of the CD19-directed therapy.

Patients with relapsed or refractory FL previously treated with ≥1 line of systemic therapy having ≥ 1 Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes (GELF) criteria for therapy, or Progression of Diseases within 24 months (POD24), or second relapse.

Baseline FDG-PET/CT scans must demonstrate positive lesions compatible with CT defined anatomical tumor sites. Patients should have at least one measurable site of disease per Lugano classification.

Disqualifiers

FL grade 3B or transformed FL.

[Removed]

≥ 6 lines of systemic immunochemotherapy for treatment of FL.

Patients with clinically significant pleural effusions and/or ascites requiring drainage or associated with shortness of breath.

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Loncastuximab tesirine

    Drug

    Induction Phase (Cycles 1 through 4): * 150 μg/Kg of loncastuximab tesirine administered via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) on Days 1 of a 3-week cycle during Cycles 1 and 2. * 75 μg/Kg of loncastuximab tesirine administered via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) on Days 1 of a 3-week cycle during Cycles 3 and 4. Maintenance Phase 1 (Cycle 5): For participants achieving CR or PR, 75 μg/Kg of loncastuximab tesirine administered via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines). on Day 1 on Week 1, 4, 7 of a 8-week cycle. Maintenance Phase 2 (Cycle 6 \& 7): For participants achieving PR, 75 μg/Kg of loncastuximab tesirine administered via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) on Day 1 on Week 1, 4, 7 of a 8-week cycle.

  • Rituximab

    Drug

    Induction Phase (Cycles 1 through 4): 375 mg/m2 rituximab on days 1, 8, 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycle 2 via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) or subcutaneous 1400 mg/23,400 units hyaluronidase during Cycles 1 and 2, per discretion of treating physician. Rituximab will not be administered during Cycles 3 and 4. Maintenance Phase 1 (Cycle 5): Participants achieving a response of PR or CR will receive 375 mg/m2 rituximab during week 1 of a 8-week cycle via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) or subcutaneous 1400 mg/23,400 units hyaluronidase, per discretion of treating physician. Maintenance Phase 2 (Cycles 6 and 7): Participants achieving a response of PR or CR will receive 375 mg/m2 rituximab during week 1 of each 8-week cycle via intravenous infusion (given as per treatment guidelines) or subcutaneous 1400 mg/23,400 units hyaluronidase, per discretion of treating physician.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of participants achieving Complete Response (CR)

Complete Response rate will be reported as the number of participants achieving complete response (CR) to study therapy. Response to therapy will be assessed using Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (FDG-PET)/ Computerized Tomography (CT) following Lugano 2014 criteria by week 12 of treatment.

Time frame
12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of participants achieving CR or PR

Overall response rate (ORR) will be reported as the number of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by the end of the induction phase, week 12. Response to therapy will be assessed using Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (FDG-PET)/ Computerized Tomography (CT) following Lugano 2014 criteria.

Time frame
Week 12
2

Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events

Safety of the intervention will be reported as the incidence of treatment-related toxicity, including serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events (AEs), in study participants using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, per physician discretion.

Time frame
Up to 13 months
3

Progression-free Survival (PFS)

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the elapsed time from the date of starting treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) until disease progression or death (whichever occur first).

Time frame
Up to 3 years
4

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival (OS) will be defined as the elapsed time from the date of starting treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) until death.

Time frame
Up to 3 years
