Study Summary

This trial will test if an immune system booster (NKTR-255) can help fight cancer after using a modified T-cell therapy (CD19 CAR-T) to treat relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who've had standard CAR-T cell therapy and specific chemotherapy. They must not have used certain immune therapies recently, have good organ function, and agree to contraception if of reproductive potential. Excluded are those with prior IL-15 agonist treatment, recent steroids or immunosuppression use, other CD19-directed CAR-T treatments, active infections like hepatitis/HIV, CNS lymphoma history, uncontrolled infections requiring IV drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests NKTR-255's effectiveness in enhancing the body's immune response after CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy in patients with stubborn large B-cell lymphoma. It compares different doses of NKTR-255 against a placebo to see if it improves cancer-fighting outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for NKTR-255 aren't listed here, similar immune system boosters can cause flu-like symptoms (fever/chills), fatigue, injection site reactions and may affect blood counts or organ function.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Stage 1 NKTR-255 at 3.0/6.0 μg/kgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this arm of Stage 1 (Phase 2 of the study), patients will be dosed with 3.0 μg/kg NKTR-255 in Cycle 1 (C1) and continue in Cycle 2 and subsequent cycles (C+) with 6.0 μg/kg NKTR-255 (hereinafter referred to as 3.0/6.0 µg/kg NKTR-255). NKTR-255 will be administered intravenously approximately 14 days after CD19-directed CAR-T cell infusion. Patients will be dosed every 3 weeks for up to 7 cycles or 5 months, whichever is earlier, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dose regimen for Stage 2 (Phase 3 of the study) will be selected based on the results of Stage 1 as reviewed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and the study team.
Group II: Stage 1 NKTR-255 at 3.0 μg/kgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this arm of Stage 1 (Phase 2 of the study), NKTR-255 will be dosed at 3.0 μg/kg. NKTR-255 will be administered intravenously approximately 14 days after CD19-directed CAR-T cell infusion. Patients will be dosed every 3 weeks for up to 7 cycles or 5 months, whichever is earlier, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dose regimen for Stage 2 (Phase 3 of the study) will be selected based on the results of Stage 1 as reviewed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and the study team.
Group III: Stage 1 NKTR-255 at 1.5 µg/kgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this arm of Stage 1 (Phase 2 of the study), NKTR-255 will be dosed at 1.5 µg/kg. NKTR-255 will be administered intravenously approximately 14 days after CD19-directed CAR-T cell infusion. Patients will be dosed every 3 weeks for up to 7 cycles or 5 months, whichever is earlier, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dose regimen for Stage 2 (Phase 3 of the study) will be selected based on the results of Stage 1 as reviewed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and the study team.
Group IV: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Placebo is commercially available 0.9% Sodium Chloride Solution for Injection (USP). Placebo will be administered intravenously approximately 14 days after CD19-directed CAR-T cell infusion. Placebo will be infused every 3 weeks for up to 7 cycles or 5 months, whichever is earlier.

Answered by AI

Are there still opportunities for participants in this experiment?

"This research endeavour, which was initially announced on December 1st 2022 and lastly updated on December 16th 2022 is not currently enrolling participants. This notwithstanding, 1826 other trials are searching for volunteers right now."

Answered by AI

What is the intent of this experiment?

"The primary endpoint of this clinical trial, which spans up to 3 years from the first administration of study drug, is assessing Complete Response (CR) rate at month 6. Secondary endpoints include CR rate at month 3 by Lugano Classification and Best Overall CR Rate as determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). The last assessed outcome will be Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Month 3 according to BICR's criteria."
