Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Follicular Lymphoma Richter's Transformation | Drug: DTRM-555 | Phase 2 |
This study is being conducted in three parts: Phase Ia, Phase Ib and Phase II, disease-specific expansion cohorts. Phase Ia explored escalating doses of a monotherapy of a novel Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor, DTRMWXHS-12. Phase Ib explored two combination therapies, DTRM-505 (DTRMWXHS-12 and everolimus) and DTRM-555 (DTRMWXHS-12, everolimus and pomalidomide).
The current Phase II study will further examine the investigational triple combination treatment, DTRM-555 for efficacy and safety. The study is being conducted in five disease-specific cohorts: Activated B-Cell (ABC) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Germinal Center B-Cell (GCB) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Richter's Transformation, transformed Follicular Lymphoma, and relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
The Primary Objective of the Phase II study is to determine the efficacy of the triple combination therapy, DTRM-555, in the five disease-specific cohorts. The Secondary Objectives are (1) to determine the safety of DTRM-555 in the cohorts and (2) to obtain the pharmacokinetics of DTRM-555 (i.e., DTRMWXHS-12, everolimus and pomalidomide).
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 120 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | All patients, regardless of disease-specific cohort, will receive the same dose of DTRM-555. There are two stages to the study, and there is the potential for 120 patients in total (potentially 24 patients in each of the 5 cohorts) to participate in the study. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |

Patients with a diagnosis of R/R CLL or other B-cell neoplasms (i.e., ABC DLBCL, GCB DLBCL, Richter's transformation and tFL) who have no available approved therapies, or patients with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which has relapsed and/or is refractory to standard therapy.
a. Patients with R/R CLL must have been exposed to Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) or B-Cell CLL/Lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitor-based therapy in prior lines of therapy but must not have known Cys481 resistance mutation prior to study enrollment.
