CC-220 + Anti-CD20 mAb for Lymphoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial investigates a new drug, CC-220 (also known as Iberdomide), both alone and in combination with other medications, for individuals with lymphoma that has returned or not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to determine if these new combinations can manage lymphoma more effectively than existing treatments. Suitable candidates for this trial are those who have undergone at least two prior treatments for their lymphoma and still have measurable disease impacting daily life. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does exclude participants on chronic systemic immunosuppressive therapy or corticosteroids, so you might need to discuss your specific medications with the study team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
A previous study showed that patients taking CC-220 (also known as iberdomide) for multiple myeloma generally tolerated the drug well. The most common side effects were mild, such as tiredness and low blood cell counts, and could be managed.
When combined with obinutuzumab and rituximab, similar studies have shown no new safety concerns. Obinutuzumab and rituximab are antibodies that help the immune system fight cancer cells. Rituximab is already approved by the FDA for various types of lymphoma, so its safety is well-known. Common side effects include mild fever and chills during infusion.
Overall, studies on the combination of CC-220 with either obinutuzumab or rituximab have shown that severe reactions are rare. These studies aim to find the right dose that balances effectiveness with safety. Since this is an early-phase trial, the main focus is on understanding how safe the treatment is for participants.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about CC-220 for lymphoma because it offers a unique approach compared to existing treatments like traditional chemotherapy and current monoclonal antibodies. Unlike most treatments that broadly target cancer cells, CC-220 works by modulating specific proteins that influence immune responses, potentially enhancing the body's ability to fight cancer. Furthermore, when combined with antibodies like obinutuzumab or rituximab, it may provide a more targeted attack on lymphoma cells, offering promise for improved efficacy and safety. This combination of action could lead to better outcomes for patients with different types of lymphoma, including relapsed or refractory cases.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for relapsed or refractory lymphoma?
Research shows that CC-220, also known as iberdomide, may help treat lymphoma, either alone or with other medications. In this trial, participants in different cohorts will receive various treatments. Some will receive CC-220 alone; early results suggest it can lead to positive outcomes in patients whose lymphoma has returned or is not responding to treatment. Others will receive CC-220 combined with obinutuzumab, an antibody that targets cancer cells, which is generally well-tolerated and shows promising results. Additionally, some participants will receive CC-220 with rituximab, another antibody treatment, which has shown encouraging effects in treating blood cancers like lymphoma. Overall, these combinations are under study for their potential to effectively manage and treat certain types of lymphoma.15678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with relapsed or refractory lymphoma, who've had at least two prior treatments and have measurable disease. They must be in fairly good health (ECOG status 0-2), understand the risks of the drug potentially causing birth defects, and agree to follow strict pregnancy prevention measures if they can have children.Inclusion Criteria
