Study Summary

This trial is studying avelumab, utomilumab, rituximab, ibrutinib, and combination chemotherapy to treat patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). They must have a life expectancy over 3 months, be in fairly good health (ECOG score of 0-2), and have adequate organ function. Women should not be pregnant and both genders must agree to use contraception. Exclusions include prior treatments with certain drugs, active infections, other cancers within the last 3 years, severe heart conditions, CNS disease history, and autoimmune diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of monoclonal antibodies avelumab, utomilumab, rituximab with chemotherapy agents ifosfamide, carboplatin etoposide phosphate plus Ibrutinib in patients who've had their lymphoma return or resist treatment. It aims to find safe dosages and observe how well these drugs work together against these types of cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as inflammation in various organs; infusion-related reactions; blood disorders that can affect clotting or lead to anemia; fatigue; digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea; increased risk of infection due to weakened immunity.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort II (avelumab, utomilumab, rituximab, ibrutinib)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1, avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 2 and 16, and ibrutinib PO QD or rituximab IV on day 1, avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 2 and 16, utomilumab IV on day 2, and ibrutinib PO QD. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (Closed as of 12/12/2019)
Group II: Cohort I (avelumab, utomilumab, RICE)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1, etoposide phosphate IV on days 1-3, avelumab IV over 60 minutes on day 2, ifosfamide IV over 24 hours on day 2, and carboplatin IV on day 2 or rituximab IV on day 1, etoposide phosphate IV on days 1-3, avelumab IV over 60 minutes on days 2, utomilumab IV over 60 minutes on day 2, ifosfamide IV over 24 hours on day 2, and carboplatin IV on day 2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may then undergo autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Does the FDA sanction Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation?

"Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation has limited evidence of safety and efficacy, so it receives a score of 1."

Answered by AI

Is there still availability in this research project for participants?

"The research hosted on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this investigation is no longer enrolling participants, with the study first being posted in April 2018 and last updated during July 2022. Thankfully, there are over 4 thousand six hundred seventy eight other trials recruiting right now."

Answered by AI

Has any research been conducted about Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in the past?

"Presently, 449 clinical trials concerning Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation are in Phase 3 and 2015 studies remain active. The majority of these experiments originate from Provincia di Ascoli Piceno though there are currently 85386 centres hosting relevant research."

Answered by AI

What medical purposes can Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation aid in treating?

"Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation is medically used to combat merkel cell cancer, leukemia and in cases of first-line treatment."

Answered by AI

How many participants are currently involved in this trial?

"This research has wrapped up its recruitment phase, with the first post being made on April 2nd 2018 and the last update occurring on July 31st 2022. For those looking to take part in a clinical trial related to lymphoma, large b-cell diffuse there are currently 2663 trials actively recruiting while 2015 studies require participants for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation investigations."

Answered by AI

What is the primary aim of this experiment?

"This two-year clinical trial seeks to determine the maximum tolerated dosage of a drug by analysing dose-limiting toxicities. Secondary outcomes include ascertaining the complete response rate through assessing evaluable patients, overall response rate based on those achieving either CR or PR, and duration of response from achievement to relapse/progression with Kaplan-Meier product limit method and Greenwood estimator."
