|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL/TFL (WHO criteria, with neoplastic cells expressing CD20). Transformed DLBCL/TFL from a previous indolent NHL or the concomitant presence of a component of low-grade lymphoma will not exclude participation. (Note: Patients with Mantle cell or Burkitt’s lymphoma) may be eligible for enrollment to the safety lead-in and dose escalation cohorts, parts 1 and 2 only.
2. Relapsed or refractory after at least 1 prior systemic treatment for aggressive lymphoma (including anthracycline unless contra-indicated). Relapsed is defined as patients who initially responded and then progressed. Refractory is defined as patients who, in the judgment of the investigator, received adequate prior treatment and did not respond during treatment or progressed within 60 days of last treatment. Relapse following an autologous stem cell transplant is allowed.
3. Patients must have relapsed after autologous stem cell transplantation or not be eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation, in the judgment of the investigator, or refuse autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients may have received up to 4 treatment regimens for aggressive lymphoma. Salvage chemotherapy and high-dose conditioning for autologous stem cell transplantation count as 2 separate regimens. Patients enrolled to the phase 2 part must have received prior rituximab.
4. Measurable disease on cross-sectional imaging that is at least 2.0 cm in the longest diameter.
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
6. Male or female patients 18 years or older.
7. Female patients who:
• Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, or
• Are surgically sterile, or
• If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing of the informed consent form (ICF) through 30 days after the last dose of MLN8237 or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse. Individuals of childbearing potential should also use effective contraception for 12 months following the last dose of rituximab.
8. Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:
• Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of MLN8237, or
• Agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse.
9. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

4. Clinical laboratory values as specified below:
• Total serum bilirubin > 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3.0 x the ULN. AST and ALT may be elevated up to 5 times the ULN if their elevation can be reasonably ascribed to documented liver involvement bylymphoma

6. Patients who have undergone allogeneic stem cell or organ transplantation any time
7. Systemic antineoplastic therapy, including glucocorticoids (> 15 mg prednisone/day or equivalent) or treatment with an investigational agent within 14 days preceding the first dose of study drug treatment (see Section in protocol). No concurrent systemic corticosteroids are allowed except for treatment of anaphylactic-like reactions to study drugs. Steroids are permitted for administration with rituximab to prevent or treat infusion reaction
8. Patients who have received treatment with nitrosoureas, mitomycin C, rituximab, alemtuzumab, or other unconjugated antibody treatment within 42 days (21 days if clear evidence of PD) prior to the first day of study drug treatment

10. Patients who have received radiotherapy within 21 days prior to the first day of study drug treatment
11.

20. Female patients who are lactating or have a positive serum pregnancy test during the Screening period
21. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with trial participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of trial results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment in this trial
22. Clinically apparent ≥ Grade 2 neuropathy due to any cause in the 3 months prior to enrollment, or history of ≥ Grade 3 neuropathy related to vincristine at any time
