What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called SGR-1505 for individuals with B-cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. The main goal is to assess the treatment's safety and determine the optimal dose. Suitable candidates for this trial have measurable B-cell lymphoma and do not require urgent treatment. The trial will explore different dose levels to identify the most effective one. 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 treatment.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that SGR-1505 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that SGR-1505, a MALT1 inhibitor, is generally safe in early lab tests, appearing promising without causing serious side effects. In this early-stage trial for humans, the primary goal is to determine the safety of SGR-1505 and identify the optimal dose. As SGR-1505 is in the first phase of human testing, detailed safety information specific to humans may not yet be available. However, its progression to human trials suggests that earlier tests did not reveal major safety concerns.

In summary, while SGR-1505 has shown potential in lab tests, the current study is essential to confirm its safety for people with B-cell lymphoma. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

SGR-1505 is unique because it targets B-cell lymphoma differently than current treatments. While most treatments like chemotherapy and targeted therapies focus on killing cancer cells or stopping them from dividing, SGR-1505 works by modulating specific pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival. This innovative mechanism could potentially lead to fewer side effects and better outcomes for patients. Researchers are excited about SGR-1505's potential to offer a new option for those who may not respond well to existing therapies.

What evidence suggests that SGR-1505 might be an effective treatment for B-Cell Lymphoma?

Research shows that SGR-1505 targets a protein called MALT1, which plays a role in B-cell lymphoma. Studies suggest that blocking MALT1 could effectively treat certain types of non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphomas. Early findings indicate that SGR-1505 may benefit patients with these cancers. This trial will include participants in a dose escalation study to evaluate up to nine dose levels of SGR-1505 across two dosing schedules. Although the treatment remains in the early stages, ongoing research examines its safety and mechanism in the body. Initial results offer hope for those seeking new treatment options for B-cell lymphoma. ^{1 2 3 5 6}

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• SGR-1505

Trial Overview

The study is testing SGR-1505's safety and how well patients tolerate it. It aims to find the highest dose patients can handle without severe side effects (MTD) or suggest an optimal dose for further research (RD).

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Dose Escalation Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Up to 9 dose levels in total will be evaluated across two dosing schedules. Eligible patients will be assigned to a dose level cohort according to an accelerated titration design that will transition to a traditional 3+3 dose escalation.

Published Research Related to This Trial

A new risk scoring system for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was developed using data from 197 patients, combining clinical and biological factors to predict overall and progression-free survival, with significant hazard ratios ranging from 0.15 to 5.49.

This scoring system was validated in an independent group of 166 DLBCL patients, demonstrating its potential to improve treatment personalization and outcomes for patients receiving R-CHOP immunochemotherapy.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, particularly ibrutinib, have shown excellent response rates and a favorable safety profile, making them a strong candidate for frontline therapy in certain types of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs).

While PI3K inhibitors can be effective for some relapsed lymphomas, their use is often limited by side effects, highlighting the need for ongoing research to improve treatment options and address resistance to BTK inhibitors.

The study analyzed gene expression in 90 DLBCL patients, revealing that all CD5-positive DLBCL cases were classified as activated B-cell-like (ABC) DLBCL, which is associated with a poor prognosis and high rates of CNS relapse.

The identification of SH3BP5 as a key gene related to CD5 expression suggests that targeting ABC DLBCL therapeutic strategies could be beneficial for treating CD5(+) DLBCL, potentially addressing the underlying causes of its aggressive nature.

Disruption of B cell receptor signaling is crucial for treating B cell lymphomas, as it can lead to the death of malignant B cells, highlighting the importance of targeting this pathway.

Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as those targeting Syk, BTK, and PI3K, show promising results in clinical trials for patients with relapsed and refractory B cell lymphomas, indicating their potential efficacy in treatment.

YM155 effectively inhibits the growth of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, showing 50% growth inhibition in various diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell lines at concentrations between 0.23 and 3.9 nM.

In in vivo models, continuous infusion of YM155 not only eradicated established tumors but also significantly improved survival compared to the standard treatment rituximab, suggesting its potential as a promising therapy for aggressive lymphomas.

CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is associated with poorer outcomes compared to non-CD5+ DLBCL, often affecting older female patients with advanced disease and a high risk of central nervous system relapse.

Traditional treatments like R-CHOP are less effective for CD5+ DLBCL, but higher-dose therapies such as R-DA-EPOCH and novel drugs like lenalidomide show promise in improving patient outcomes.

Serum levels of soluble CD155 (sCD155) are significantly higher in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at diagnosis compared to healthy controls, indicating its potential role as a biomarker for this cancer.

Elevated sCD155 levels are associated with a lack of response to the standard treatment regimen CHOP with or without rituximab, suggesting that sCD155 could be a prognostic indicator for treatment outcomes in DLBCL patients.

In a phase II study involving 41 patients with refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), YM155 showed limited efficacy as a single agent, achieving a complete remission in only 2.4% of patients and a median progression-free survival of 58 days.

YM155 was well tolerated overall, with the most common side effects being anemia and fatigue, suggesting it may be safer for patients, but its effectiveness may improve when combined with other treatments like rituximab.
