Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination therapy to treat mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, which are skin cancers. The new therapy consists of two drugs, duvelisib and nivolumab. Duvelisib works by stopping the growth of tumor cells, and nivolumab helps the body's immune system attack the cancer. The trial is testing whether this new combination therapy is more effective than the usual approach.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with stage IIB-IVB mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome who've had prior systemic therapy can join this trial. They must have certain levels of blood cells, kidney and liver function, and controlled brain metastases if present. Heart disease patients need a specific risk assessment. Participants must use effective contraception and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of duvelisib (which blocks enzymes for cell growth) with nivolumab (an immunotherapy that helps the immune system attack cancer). It aims to find the best dose, benefits, and side effects compared to usual treatments for these skin cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, potential impact on blood counts leading to increased infection risk, fatigue, digestive issues, and possibly others not yet known due to limited data.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (duvelisib, nivolumab)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive duvelisib PO QD or BID on days 1-28 or days 1-14 and nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo PET-CT or CT scan at baseline. Patients also undergo punch biopsy and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is this research project open for recruitment at the present time?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this study is open for recruitment and was posted on May 3rd 2021. The last update took place November 1st 2022 and the trial seeks 24 people from 11 sites across the country."

Answered by AI

What effects have been noted from the use of Duvelisib?

"Due to the limited amount of clinical data that exist for Duvelisib, our team at Power assigned it a safety rating of 1. This is in line with its Phase 1 trial designation, which implies sparse information about both efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Could you tell me about any prior investigations conducted with Duvelisib?

"Duvelisib's initial research began at Local Institution in 2012, and since then 267 studies have been completed. There are currently 730 active trials taking place with a large number of these based out of Jacksonville, Florida."

Answered by AI

Which diseases does Duvelisib typically alleviate?

"Duvelisib is mainly used to treat metastatic ureter urothelial carcinoma, but it can also be employed for conditions like metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and malignant melanoma of skin in cases where two prior treatments have failed."

Answered by AI

Are there extensive deployments of this research in the US?

"Participants for this trial are being enrolled from 11 different medical centres, which includes Jacksonville, Rochester and Creve Coeur. To lessen the burden of travel, it is best to choose the closest site possible when enrolling in the study."

Answered by AI

What is the scope of involvement in this experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov reports that this trial is still in the recruitment stage, which began on May 3rd 2021 and was last updated November 1st 2022. 24 participants must be enrolled from 11 distinct sites to complete the study's requirements."

Answered by AI

What is the main purpose of this investigation?

"The primary purpose of this 28 day cycle trial is to measure the occurrence of adverse events. Secondary objectives include assessing Disease Control Rate (DCR) via a sample proportion and confidence interval, Overall Response Rate (ORR) by sampling proportions with 95% confidence intervals per Agresti-Coull methods, as well as Duration of Response (DoR) for responding patients through Kaplan-Meier analysis using Global Response Criteria adapted for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma comprising skin evaluation based on modified severity-weighted assessment tool, flow cytometry study into Sezary cells in peripheral blood circulation, and radiographic examination employing contrast"

Answered by AI

Does this research mark a pioneering effort in its field?

"Presently, there are 730 live trials of Duvelisib underway in 2361 cities across 49 nations. First tested on 659 participants in 2012 by Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., the drug successfully completed its Phase 1 & 2 clinical trial stages and has since had 267 further studies conducted upon it."
