Study Description

Brief Summary

Study to determine the preliminary safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of APR-246 in combination with either acalabrutinib or venetoclax + rituximab therapy in subjects with NHL, including relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) CLL and R/R MCL.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Mantle Cell Lymphoma	Drug: APR-246 (eprenetapopt) + Acalabrutinib in CLL Drug: APR-246 (eprenetapopt) + Venetoclax + Rituximab in CLL Drug: APR-246 (eprenetapopt) + (Acalabrutinib, OR, (Venetoclax +Rituximab)), in CLL and/or MCL and/or RT Drug: APR-246 (eprenetapopt) + Venetoclax + Rituximab in RT	Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

Phase 1, open-label, dose-finding and cohort expansion study to determine the preliminary safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of APR-246 (eprenetapopt) in combination with either acalabrutinib or venetoclax + rituximab therapy in subjects with NHL, including relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) CLL and R/R MCL.

The study includes a safety lead-in portion followed by an expansion portion in subjects with R/R CLL, Richter Transformation (RT), and R/R MCL.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

To determine the DLT of APR-246 in combination with acalabrutinib or in combination with venetoclax + rituximab therapy in subjects with NHL, including subjects with R/R CLL, RT and R/R MCL. [Through study completion, approximately 1 year]
The occurrence of DLTs, classified and graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events .
To assess the frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) related to APR-246 in combination with acalabrutinib and with venetoclax + rituximab therapy. [Through study completion, approximately 1 year]
The frequency of TEAEs and SAEs related to APR-246 in combination with acalabrutinib and with venetoclax + rituximab therapy
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in subjects with TP53 mutant NHL, including subjects with R/R CLL, RT and R/R MCL. [Through study completion, approximately 1 year]
The highest dose of APR-246 with acceptable toxicity (RP2D of APR-246) (the dose producing ≤ 20% of DLT).

Inclusion Criteria:

Is able to understand and is willing and able to comply with the study requirements and to provide written informed consent.

platelet count ≥ 75 000/mm3;
absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mm3 unless cytopenia is clearly due to marrow involvement from CLL or MCL

Adequate organ function as defined by the following laboratory values:
Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min.
Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) unless due to Gilbert's syndrome, NHL organ involvement, controlled immune hemolysis or considered an effect of regular blood transfusions.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, unless due to NHL organ involvement.
