Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

LCCC1852-ATL is a prospective 2-arm study designed to determine if chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells result in immunomodulation which can be subsequently exploited by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies to achieve clinical responses in subjects with relapsed/refractory (r/r) classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Nivolumab
  • Biological: Pembrolizumab
Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

In this study, investigators will enroll subjects with relapsed/refractory cHL being treated with anti-PD-1 therapy. The study will examine the treatment of relapsed/refractory cHL in this population in , two arms with 10 subjects each: (1) Arm 1: 10 subjects who have previously received anti-PD-1 therapy and experienced progression and more recently received CD30 CAR-T cell therapy and have evidence of progression, and (2) Arm 2 : 10 subjects who have never received CD30 CAR-T therapy and have evidence of progression are initiating treatment with anti-PD1 therapy. In both arms of the study subjects will be offered anti-PD-1 therapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab, at the discretion of treating oncologist), as per standard of care in r/r cHL

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the objective response rate (ORR) of anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy in study Arm 1 subjects within r/r cHL. The secondary objectives will be to measure the change in T-cell receptor clonality during treatment with anti-PD-1 therapy after progression after CD30 CAR-T therapy in these subjects, the change in peripheral blood immunophenotype during treatment with anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy and progression free survival (PFS) of anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy.

Preliminary data from subjects treated with anti-PD-1 therapy after progression following CD30 CAR-T cell therapy has suggested surprisingly robust clinical responses to anti-PD-1 therapy. Therefore, this study is an important advancement for understanding both immunomodulation after CD30 CAR-T cell therapy, as well as clinical response to anti-PD-1 therapy. This study will serve as a baseline for clinical response and immunomodulation for future clinical trials evaluating the combination of anti-PD-1 therapy and CD30 CAR-T cell therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Relapse After Prior CD30 CAR-T Therapy

Subjects with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r cHL) who have previously progressed on anti-PD-1 therapy, have received a CD30 CAR-T cell therapy and have evidence of progression. Subjects will be offered anti-PD-1 therapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab, at the discretion of treating oncologist), as per standard of care in r/r cHL.

Biological: Nivolumab
Nivolumab administered at 240mg every two weeks or 480 mg every four weeks as per standard of care after treatment with CD30.CAR T cells
Other Names:
  • Opdivo
  • Biological: Pembrolizumab
    Pembrolizumab administered at 200 mg every three weeks or 400 mg every six weeks as per standard of care after treatment with CD30.CAR T cells
    Other Names:
  • Keytruda
  • Experimental: Arm 2: Relapse with no Prior CD30 CAR-T Therapy

    Subjects with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r cHL) who have previously progressed on anti-PD-1 therapy, have not received a CD30 CAR-T cell therapy and have evidence of progression. Subjects will be offered anti-PD-1 therapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab, at the discretion of treating oncologist), as per standard of care in r/r cHL.

    Biological: Nivolumab
    Nivolumab administered at 240mg every two weeks or 480 mg every four weeks as per standard of care after treatment with CD30.CAR T cells
    Other Names:
  • Opdivo
  • Biological: Pembrolizumab
    Pembrolizumab administered at 200 mg every three weeks or 400 mg every six weeks as per standard of care after treatment with CD30.CAR T cells
    Other Names:
  • Keytruda
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective response, defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at 12 weeks after initiating anti-PD-1 therapy [12 weeks]

      Response will be determined by the Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria in order to evaluate the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory (r/r) classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Peripheral T-cell receptor frequency per 100,000 clones on Day 1, Day 21, and Day 42 of anti-PD-1 therapy. [42 days]

      To measure the change in peripheral blood T-cell receptor clonality during treatment with anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy.

    2. Percent change in peripheral blood T-cell subsets [42 days]

      Percent change in peripheral blood T-cell subsets will be measured by Fluidigm® based mass cytometry from Day 1 of anti-PD-1 therapy to Day 21 and Day 42 of anti-PD-1 therapy.

    3. Progression free survival [From first day of anti-PD-1 therapy to clinical progression or death, up to 15 years]

      Progression free survival of anti-PD-1 therapy after progression on CD30 CAR-T cell therapy will be defined as the duration of time from the first day of anti-PD-1 therapy to clinical progression or death as a result of any cause. Response will be determined by the Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria.
