Study Summary

This trial adds liso-cel to nivolumab & ibrutinib to fight Richter's transformation, using cells from patient's own blood to help the body's immune system fight cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults (18+) with Richter's Transformation who've had at least two prior systemic therapies or relapsed within a year of first-line chemoimmunotherapy. They must have adequate organ function, not require oxygen supplementation, and agree to use effective birth control. Excluded are those with HIV, active hepatitis B/C, recent heart issues, autoimmune diseases (except mild conditions like controlled asthma), recent stem cell transplants, or on certain medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), nivolumab, and ibrutinib for treating Richter's transformation. Liso-cel uses the patient's own immune cells to fight cancer; nivolumab helps slow cancer growth by aiding the immune system; and ibrutinib blocks proteins that tell cancer cells to multiply.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions causing inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions from liso-cel or nivolumab administration, fatigue from all three drugs being tested as well as possible liver enzyme changes due to ibrutinib.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (nivolumab, ibrutinib, chemotherapy, liso-cel)Experimental Treatment11 Interventions
Patients receive ibrutinib PO, nivolumab IV, fludarabine IV, cyclophosphamide IV, and liso-cel IV on study. Patients also undergo apheresis, PET/CT, biospecimen collection, and bone marrow biopsy on study. Patients may receive low-moderate intensity chemotherapy in combination with the study induction therapy per treating physician discretion with approval of study principal investigator.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Have the FDA granted approval to any of these interventions (nivolumab, ibrutinib, chemotherapy, liso-cel)?

"Our team's evaluation of the safety associated with Nivolumab, Ibrutinib, Chemotherapy and Liso-Cel scored a 2. This is because Phase 2 trials have some confirmation that it has no serious side effects but lack clinical evidence regarding its efficacy."

Answered by AI

Does this research endeavor currently offer participation to individuals?

"This particular medical trial is not currently recruiting, as stated on clinicaltrials.gov; the initial posting was May 5th 2023 and last update took place January 3rd 2023. However, 1487 other trials are open to enrollment at present."

Answered by AI

What is the primary aim of this medical experiment?

"The primary focus of this clinical trial, which will span up to 2 years in duration, is the assessment of Unacceptable Toxicity (UT). Secondary objectives include Best Complete Response (CR), Overall Response Rate (ORR), and Duration of Response (DOR) measurements. These metrics are obtained from starters who achieve CR or partial response before any disease progression or start of new anticancer treatment; patients not achieving a complete/partial response will be omitted from analysis. Kaplan-Meier product limit with log-log transformation for confidence interval estimation shall be used to measure DOR statistics."
