A Study to Evaluate HH2853 in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas or Advanced Solid Tumors

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (how a drug moves within the body) and clinical activity of HH2853, an EZH1/2 Inhibitor, in patients with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas or advanced solid tumors.

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provided signed written informed consent prior to initiation of any study-related
procedures;

2. Males and females ≥ 18years of age at the time of consent are obtained (or meet the
country's regulatory defined adult legal age);

3. Tumor type criteria:

1. Relapsed/refractory histologically documented non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) must
have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies (maximum <5 lines, patients
without treatment options available known to provide clinical benefit are also
eligible upon agreement from investigator and sponsor.) The specific requirements
for certain tumor types are listed below:

- Follicular lymphoma (FL) must meet criteria requiring at least two prior
systemic treatment per the GELF criteria and there is no salvage regimen
available (maximum <5 lines);

neoplasms) relapsed or refractory with at least 2 prior regimen (e.g., at
least one regimen of anti-CD20 based therapy, maximum <5 lines) and not a
candidate for salvage regimens or autologous or allogeneic stem cell
transplant.

- Relapsed/refractory clinicopathologically documented PTCL with at least 1
line of prior systemic treatment (maximum <5 lines). Subtypes include
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS),
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), ALK+ Anaplastic large cell
lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALCL), ALK-ALCL, Extranodal
natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma-nasal type (ENKL),
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), Monomorphic epitheliotropic
intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL),
Follicular T-cell lymphoma (FTCL), Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma with TFH
phenotype (PTCL-TFH) and other invasive T-cell-derived NHL that the
investigator considered eligible and approved by the sponsor (Other than
highly invasive subtype).

The definition of relapse: A relapse after CR or progression after PR with at
least one prior systemic therapy.

The definition of refractory: Tumor evaluation of PD after 2 cycles of treatment;
tumor evaluation of SD after 4 cycles of treatment; no response or treatment
progression within 1 month after completion of initial treatment; tumor
evaluation of PR but require second-line treatment immediately at the physician's
judgment.

2. Solid tumors that meet the following criteria:

1. Histologically or cytologically documented advanced recurrent or metastatic
solid tumor.

2. Phase I dose escalation: Measurable or evaluable lesions by RECIST v1.1 in
at least 1 site; phase I dose extension and phase II: Measurable target
lesions by RECIST v1.1 in at least 1 site. (Lesions that have been treated
with radiotherapy or other local treatment are generally considered
unmeasurable unless there is definite progression of the lesion.)

3. Patients must have disease not amenable to surgery, radiation, or combined
modality therapy with curative intent. One of the following criteria should
be met.

- Patients must experience at least one prior standard therapy. Disease
progression occurred on or after last line of therapy, or intolerant to
last line of therapy (maximum ≤3 lines, Patients without treatment
options available known to provide clinical benefit are also eligible
upon agreement from investigator and sponsor)

- There is no approved therapy, or for which standard therapy is
unsuitable or refused by patients after being fully informed.

4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1;

5. Availability of archival tissue within three years, or willingness to undergo fresh
biopsy if archival tissue is not available (only for phase I dose extension and phase
II) ;

6. Relapsed/Refractory FL, Epithelioid sarcoma, relapsed/refractory PTCL, other
relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with EZH2 mutation, and advanced solid
tumors with specific genetic alterations, including EZH2 mutation, INI1 deficiency,
BAP1 deficiency, ARID1A mutation, or/and SMARCA4 mutation tested by local labs will be
enrolled in phase I dose extension and phase II. For phase II, patients may be
enrolled in one of 3 cohorts upon their tumor types:

- Relapsed/Refractory FL

- Epithelioid sarcoma

- Relapsed/Refractory PTCL, other relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with
EZH2 mutation, or advanced solid tumors with specific genetic alterations,
including EZH2 mutation, INI1 deficiency, BAP1 deficiency, ARID1A mutation,
or/and SMARCA4 mutation.

7. Predicted life expectancy of ≥ 3 months;

8. Patient must meet the following laboratory values:

3. 24-hour creatinine clearance (calculated* or measured value**)≥ 50 mL/min

*For calculated creatinine clearance (Ccr) value, the eligibility should be
determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:

1. Male Ccr (mL/mim) = body weight (kg) x (140-age)/[72 x creatinine (mg/dL)]

2. Female Ccr (mL/min) = male Ccr x 0.85 ** A measured value Ccr value (i.e.
not calculated) should meet this criterion.
