Brief summary TBD

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: CPG 7909
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a single institution phase 1-2 trial to evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of CpG injections (4 intratumoral injections followed by 6 peri-tumoral injections) combined with local irradiation in patients with recurrent low-grade lymphomas.

Patients will receive low-dose radiotherapy to a single tumor site on days 1 and 2 (2 Gy each day). CpG injections will be administered into the same tumor site within the 24 hours before and the 24 hours after the radiation, and on days 8 and 15. Weekly doses of CpG will be then administered subcutaneously in the region of previous injections for 6 additional doses.

    Exclusion Criteria:A patient may not be enrolled in the trial if any of the following criteria are met.

    • Pre-existing autoimmune or antibody mediated disease including: systemic lupus, erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, but excluding controlled thyroid disease, or the presence of autoantibodies without clinical autoimmune disease.

    • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C (active, prior treatment, or both).

    • Patients with active infection or with a fever >38.50 C within three days prior to the first scheduled treatment.

    • CNS metastases

    • Prior malignancy (active within 5 years of screening) except basal cell or completely excised non-invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

    • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar composition to CpG 7909
