About this trial

This is a Phase 1b study of participants with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). The purpose of this study is to identify an optimized lymphodenpletion (LD) regimen by evaluating standard and intermediate doses of Fludarabine (Flu) / Cyclophosphamide (Cy) with or without a fixed dose of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) in the setting of standard of care CAR T cell therapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent

Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

Biopsy-proven and histologically confirmed R/R large B cell lymphoma, including R/R DLBCL, transformation from FL, and R/R PMBCL.

Radiographically documented measurable disease as per Lugano response criteria (i.e. LDi > 1.5 cm that is FDG avid).

Disqualifiers

Persisting disease bulk (defined as ≥10 cm) on restaging imaging following bridging therapy.

History of malignancy other than nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ (e.g. cervix, bladder, breast) unless disease free for at least 3 years

History of Richter's transformation of CLL

History of allogeneic stem cell transplant

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

safety and tolerability of chemo rads as conditioning chemo

To assess the safety and tolerability of a combination chemo-radiation lymphodepletion (LD) regimen (Fludarabine (Flu)/Cyclophosphamide (Cy) + total lymphoid irradiation (TLI ) in patients receiving standard of care CAR T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL), by establishing the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of standard (ZUMA-1) dose Flu/Cy + TLI, and of intermediate dose iCy/Flu +/- TLI, and the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of standard dose Flu/Cy + TLI, and of intermediate dose iCy/Flu +/- TLI

Time frame
baseline through Day 30

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall response rate

The overall response rate is the proportion of patients with either a CR or PR while on study. All patients who do not meet the criteria for objective response by the analysis data cutoff date will be considered non-responders. This will be measured by CT/PET

Time frame
baseline through day 365
2

Complete response

To assess the efficacy (complete response (CR) rate at 12 months) of a combination chemo-radiation LD regimen (standard dose Flu/Cy + TLI) in patients receiving CAR T cell therapy for R/R DLBCL. To assess the efficacy of an intermediate dose iCy/Flu +/- TLI LD regimen in patients receiving CAR T cell therapy for R/R DLBCL. All CR and PR responses may be reviewed by an expert(s) / independent radiologist as required by simultaneous review of patient files and radiologic images

Time frame
baseline through day 365
3

Progression free survival

To assess the efficacy (progression free survival (PFS) at 12 months) of a combination chemo-radiation LD regimen (standard dose Flu/Cy + TLI) in patients receiving CAR T cell therapy for R/R DLBCL. To assess the efficacy of an intermediate dose iCy/Flu +/- TLI LD regimen in patients receiving CAR T cell therapy for R/R DLBCL. Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
baseline through day 365
