Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with apatinib in in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma failed from second line chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Patients with relapsed /refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma usually have a bad prognosis. These patients cannot be treated successfully with the conventional chemotherapy of CHOP. Apatinib is a new type of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR-2. Some studies have shown that the combination of low-dose apatinib and camrelizumab shows a synergistic effect in the exploration of multiple solid tumors, and the adverse reactions of low-dose apatinib are significantly reduced, and the patients are well tolerated.The investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with apatinib in the patients with relapsed refractory diffuse large B cell lymphomafailed from second line chemotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: camrelizumab in combination with apatinib

Apatinib should be given at a fixed time. On the day of camrelizumab infusion, Apatinib should be taken 30 minutes after the end of camrelizumab infusion

Drug: Camrelizumab
Camrelizumab will be administered every 3 weeks up to 6 cycles during induction phase, and then every 4 weeks up to 12 cycles in maintenance phase if patients get CR or PR after induction phase.

Drug: Apatinib
Phase I: dose escalation phase. Patients will oral dosage as 250mg, 500mg or 750mg,qd, per day. Aim to evaluate MTD and DLT, RP2D. Phase II:Patients continuous oral apatinib as RP2D up to 6 cycles during induction phase, and then 250mg/d up to 1 year in maintenance phase if patients get CR or PR after induction phase.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR), Investigator-Assessed [upto 24 months]

    Overall response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to lymphoma response to immunomodulatory therapy criteria (LYRIC) for Malignant Lymphoma, 2016. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI with or without PET.

  2. The optimal dosage of apatinib combined with camrelizumab [up to 6 months]

    Maximum tolerable dose(MTD)and dose-limiting toxicity(DLT)of apatinib will be conducted in Phase Ib clinical studies. MTD and DLT is defined as protocol-defined apatinib related events.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression-free Survival [up to 36 months]

    The time between the start of randomization and the progression of the tumor (any aspect) or (for any reason) death

  2. Overall Survival [up to 36 months]

    Time from randomization to death for any reason Time from randomization to death for any reason Time from randomization to death for any reason Time from randomization to death for any reason

  3. Duration of Response [up to 36 months]

    The time from the first assessment of CR or PR to PD (progressive disease) or death from any cause

  4. Time To Progression [up to 36 months]

    Time from randomization to PD

  5. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to 36 months]

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
