Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for safety, how well it works, and how it affects the body. It will be given to patients with NHL alone or with other therapies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain types of B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that have tried at least two prior treatments without success. Participants must be able to undergo biopsies and have a performance status allowing daily activity. Excluded are those with central nervous system lymphoma, severe heart or lung conditions, HIV, active hepatitis infections, or women who could become pregnant and aren't using contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of VAY736 alone or combined with other drugs (CC-99282, lenalidomide) in patients with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. It will evaluate how the body processes these drugs and their preliminary effects on the disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies like VAY736, changes in blood counts or immune responses due to lenalidomide or CC-99282 therapy. Specific side effect profiles will depend on individual patient factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the established level of security associated with VAY736?

"VAY736 has limited data supporting both its safety and efficacy, so it received a low score of 1."

Answered by AI

Is the current research study seeking additional participants?

"Per the data found on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is currently searching for suitable participants. The pool of potential patients was first opened up to recruitment on January 24th 2022 and has since been updated as recently as November 28th 2022."

Answered by AI

What is the scale of enrollment for this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial's posting, which dates back to January 24th 2022, is still actively recruiting patients. 86 participants are needed across two different medical sites."

Answered by AI

What purpose is VAY736 typically used for in medical care?

"VAY736 is a common medication for the treatment of multiple myeloma, as well as lymphomas that have relapsed or become resistant to initial treatments and chronic lymphocytic leukemia after two prior chemotherapy rounds."

Answered by AI

Has any prior research been conducted with VAY736?

"First investigated at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center-Mishawaka in 2004, VAY736 has seen 350 completed trials. At present, 274 are still ongoing with the majority occurring in Houston, Texas."

Answered by AI

What aims is this experiment seeking to achieve?

"According to the trial sponsor, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, this clinical study will span a period of 4 years and evaluate Incidence and nature of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) as its primary endpoint. Additionally, secondary endpoints such as AUC for lenalidomide, Cmax for lenalidomide, and Change from baseline in anti-drug antibodies (ADA) are also being measured; plasma concentrations are necessary for PK parameters while blood samples must be collected for detecting changes in antibody levels."
