What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new drug, ARV-393, to determine its safety and effectiveness in treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer affecting the lymphatic system. ARV-393 may work by breaking down a protein in cancer cells, potentially stopping tumor growth. The trial will begin by testing various doses to identify the safest and most effective amount. Individuals who have tried at least two previous treatments for their lymphoma without success and have a measurable tumor may be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how ARV-393 works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that you cannot have had certain treatments like radiotherapy or systemic anticancer treatment shortly before starting the trial. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

Is there any evidence suggesting that ARV-393 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research shows that ARV-393 is a new treatment being tested for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. This trial marks the first use of ARV-393 in humans, so no safety data from human use exists yet. The main goal of this early-stage trial is to assess the safety of ARV-393 for humans. Researchers will closely monitor how participants handle the treatment and any side effects they might experience.

As this is an early-stage trial, no previous safety data from human use is available. However, the trial will carefully monitor participants for any signs of negative effects to ensure safety. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Most treatments for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, like chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies, work by broadly attacking cancer cells or marking them for the immune system to destroy. But ARV-393 is different. It utilizes a novel mechanism called targeted protein degradation, which means it can specifically target and degrade proteins essential for cancer cell survival. This approach may lead to more effective cancer cell elimination with potentially fewer side effects, which is why researchers are excited about its potential.

What evidence suggests that ARV-393 might be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?

Research has shown that ARV-393 could help treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In lab studies, ARV-393 successfully broke down a protein essential for the growth of many of these cancers. This resulted in a significant reduction in tumor size across various tests. In some cases, it halted up to 99% of tumor growth. These early findings suggest that ARV-393 might slow or stop tumor growth in people with this type of cancer. ^{1 5 6 7 8}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals with advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. Participants should have specific types of this cancer, like AITL, B-Cell Lymphoma, or T-Cell Lymphoma. Details on who can join are not fully listed here.

Inclusion Criteria

Participants must also have ≥1 measurable lesion at study entry

My B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has not responded to 2 or more treatments, or my AITL has worsened after standard treatment.

My organs are functioning well.

Exclusion Criteria

Participants with an inability to comply with listed prohibited treatments

I haven't had certain cancer treatments recently before starting ARV-393.

I do not have any severe illnesses or infections that would make joining this study unsafe for me.

Trial Overview

The study is testing ARV-393, a new drug given as an oral tablet. It aims to see if it's safe and effective against certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas by targeting a protein linked to tumor growth.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Dose escalation Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Dose escalation will begin at Dose Level 1. Dose escalation or de-escalation decision will be recommended by the cohort review committee.

Published Research Related to This Trial

A pharmacovigilance analysis of 362 reports revealed that ALK-TKIs, particularly crizotinib and alectinib, are associated with cardiac arrhythmias, affecting more men than women with a median age of 68.

The onset of cardiac arrhythmias varies significantly among different ALK-TKIs, indicating that the timing of these adverse effects cannot be easily predicted after starting treatment.

Antiretroviral (ARV) medications have been safely used for 20 years in HIV treatment, with an evolving understanding of their potential short-term and long-term side effects.

The safety profile of ARVs is improving with newer combinations and medications, but ongoing monitoring for side effects remains essential, especially in resource-limited settings.

A total of 921 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were reported to NAFDAC from January to June 2015, with a higher incidence in females (65.5%) and the age group of 21-40 years (45.6%).

The most common suspected drug associated with ADRs was the Zidovudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine combination, particularly in patients with HIV, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of patients on antiretroviral therapy due to their increased risk of ADRs.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common in pediatric patients with oncohematological diseases, with incidence rates ranging from 14.4% to 67% in inpatients and 19.6% to 68.1% during admissions, highlighting the need for careful monitoring in this vulnerable population.

The severity of ADRs can be significant, with 11% to 16.4% classified as severe, yet most studies lacked a thorough assessment of preventability, indicating a gap in safety protocols that could be improved for better patient outcomes.

Between 1999 and 2003, a study at Toulouse University Hospital reported 613 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) from antiretroviral drugs affecting 428 patients, highlighting the importance of monitoring these effects.

Most reported ADRs (88.6%) were classified as 'non-serious', but 57% of cases required stopping the suspected medication, indicating that while many reactions were mild, a significant portion still necessitated intervention.
