What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial explores new treatment combinations for individuals with a specific type of lymphoma called a-BCL, which has not been previously treated. It tests the effectiveness of adding either CC-220 (Iberdomide) or CC-99282 to standard chemotherapy drugs. The trial includes different groups to determine the most effective combination. Individuals diagnosed with a-BCL who have not yet started treatment may be suitable candidates for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to receive potentially groundbreaking therapies.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does exclude participants on chronic systemic immunosuppressive therapy or corticosteroids, which might suggest some restrictions. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research has shown that CC-220, also known as iberdomide, generally maintains a consistent safety record. In studies where it was combined with other treatments, patients tolerated it well, even those who had previously tried many therapies. The reported side effects aligned with doctors' expectations for this type of treatment.

For CC-99282, less detailed safety information is available. However, since this trial is in its early stages, the primary goal is to assess the treatment's safety. These early trials are typically designed to closely monitor any side effects.

Both treatments are under evaluation for safety and patient tolerance. While full details are not yet available, the emphasis on safety in these early studies ensures that researchers are carefully assessing any risks. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about these treatments for lymphoma because they introduce new compounds, CC-220 and CC-99282, which are believed to enhance the efficacy of existing chemotherapy regimens. Unlike standard treatments like R-CHOP, which combine multiple drugs to attack cancer cells, these new agents are designed to potentially boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer. CC-220, when paired with R-CHOP or the polatuzumab-R-CHP regimen, and CC-99282, combined similarly, offer a fresh approach by potentially increasing the potency of these combinations without significantly increasing toxicity. These innovative combinations could lead to more effective and targeted treatment outcomes for patients with lymphoma.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for lymphoma?

Research has shown that iberdomide (also called CC-220) holds promise in treating blood cancers like multiple myeloma. In these studies, iberdomide improved outcomes when combined with standard treatments. In this trial, some participants will receive iberdomide alongside existing lymphoma treatments. Conversely, CC-99282 is a newer drug under investigation for its effects on lymphoma. It targets cancer cells to inhibit their growth. Although less information exists on CC-99282, early signs are encouraging. Other participants in this trial will receive CC-99282 with existing lymphoma treatments to assess its effectiveness. ^{2 6 7 8 9}

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of patients with transplantation-ineligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL), the combination of polatuzumab vedotin with bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR) resulted in a significantly higher complete response (CR) rate of 40% compared to 17.5% with bendamustine and rituximab alone, indicating improved efficacy.

Patients receiving pola-BR also experienced longer progression-free survival (9.5 months vs. 3.7 months) and overall survival (12.4 months vs. 4.7 months), although there were higher rates of certain side effects like neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy, which were mostly manageable.

In a phase 3 trial involving 879 patients with untreated intermediate-risk or high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the modified regimen pola-R-CHP (which replaces vincristine with polatuzumab vedotin) showed a significantly higher progression-free survival rate at 2 years (76.7%) compared to the standard R-CHOP regimen (70.2%).

The overall survival rates at 2 years were similar between the pola-R-CHP and R-CHOP groups (88.7% vs. 88.6%), indicating that while pola-R-CHP may reduce the risk of disease progression, it does not significantly improve overall survival compared to the standard treatment.
