CC-486 + Lenalidomide + Obinutuzumab for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of three treatments—CC-486 (an oral drug), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and obinutuzumab (Gazyva)—for individuals with certain types of B-cell lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system's cells. The trial targets patients whose cancer has returned or hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to determine if this combination can enhance cancer response and reduce side effects. Individuals diagnosed with specific types of B-cell lymphoma, such as follicular lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma, who have undergone prior treatment, might be suitable for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants a chance to be among the first to receive this new combination therapy.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires that all previous cancer therapy, including radiation, hormonal therapy, and surgery, must be stopped at least 4 weeks before starting the study. However, it does not specify if you need to stop other medications, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research is examining the safety of combining CC-486, lenalidomide, and obinutuzumab for patients with certain types of lymphoma. Early results indicate that patients can tolerate this treatment mix, though the study remains in its initial stages. The main side effects reported include tiredness and low blood counts, common with treatments affecting the immune system.
CC-486, also known as oral azacitidine, is a chemotherapy drug that may cause side effects like nausea and vomiting, but these are usually manageable. Lenalidomide, already approved for other conditions, can sometimes lead to tiredness or low blood counts. Obinutuzumab, an antibody therapy, may cause infusion reactions such as fever or chills, but these are generally mild.
While these treatments have been studied both separately and together, ongoing research aims to ensure their safety and effectiveness when used in combination. Always consult a doctor to understand what participating in such a trial might mean.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about this combination treatment for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma because it brings together three promising therapies: CC-486, Lenalidomide, and Obinutuzumab. Unlike standard treatments, which often focus on chemotherapy, this approach integrates a novel oral form of azacitidine (CC-486) that modulates the immune system and a monoclonal antibody (Obinutuzumab) that targets and destroys cancerous cells. Additionally, Lenalidomide boosts the immune response to help fight the cancer. This combination aims to enhance effectiveness while potentially reducing the side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for B-cell lymphoma?
Research has shown that CC-486 may help treat certain types of lymphoma. In earlier studies, 94.9% of patients responded well, and 88.1% experienced complete cancer remission. Lenalidomide has also proven effective for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with 97% of patients responding and 79% achieving complete remission in one study. Obinutuzumab lowered the risk of disease progression or death by 32% compared to another treatment, with a 93.8% response rate in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. This trial tests these treatments together to determine if they can more effectively combat B-cell lymphoma.46789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for patients with CD20 positive B-cell lymphoma that's returned or hasn't responded to treatment. Participants must have had prior treatments, be able to consent, follow the study schedule, and swallow pills. They should not have other serious medical conditions or be on conflicting medications.Inclusion Criteria

Experimental Treatment
Patients receive azacitidine PO QD on days 1-21, obinutuzumab IV over on days 8, 15, 22, and 29, and lenalidomide PO QD on days 8-28 of cycle 1. Treatment continues for 35 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive azacitidine PO QD on days 1-21, obinutuzumab IV over on day 1, and lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until stem cell transplant. Patients who achieve SD, PR, or CR do not proceed to stem cell transplant may continue treatment for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
