What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new drug called CYT-0851 in patients with certain types of cancer that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and understand how it works in the body.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot be on certain medications like those that prolong the QTc interval or narrow therapeutic index drugs sensitive to CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP without approval. There is also a 14-day washout period for some therapies.

What safety data exists for CYT-0851 and related treatments?

The research articles provided do not contain safety data specifically for CYT-0851 or the related treatments listed. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Excluded are those unable to swallow pills, recent heart attack or stroke victims, uncontrolled hypertension sufferers, individuals with active CNS metastases or significant health issues that could affect safety.

Inclusion Criteria

My cancer is a type of B cell malignancy confirmed by testing.

I can and agree to have a biopsy, or I can provide a recent sample if needed.

My recent tests show positive biomarkers.

Exclusion Criteria

I have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last 6 months.

I haven't had cancer treatment in the last 14 days.

I had hepatitis C but completed treatment and now have an undetectable viral load.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Bendamustine
• Capecitabine
• CYT-0851
• Gemcitabine
• Rituximab

Trial Overview The trial is testing CYT-0851 alone and combined with other chemotherapy drugs like rituximab and bendamustine or gemcitabine in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies and advanced solid tumors. The goal is to determine safe dosages for Phase 2 trials.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: CYT-0851 dose expansion Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Part B: CYT-0851 administered orally at the selected Phase 2 dose for 28 day cycles

Group II: CYT-0851 dose escalation Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Part A: CYT-0851 administered orally in rising doses QD or BID for 28 day cycles

Group III: CYT-0851 and rituximab and bendamustine Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Part C: Daily oral doses of CYT-0851 for 28 days in combination with rituximab on Day 1 and bendamustine on Days 1 and 2 of each 28 day cycle

Group IV: CYT-0851 and gemcitabine Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Part D: Daily oral doses of CYT-0851 for 28 days in combination with gemcitabine on Day 1, 8 and 15 of each 28 day cycle

Group V: CYT-0851 and capecitabine Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Part E: Daily oral doses of CYT-0851 for 21 days in combination with capecitabine on Days to 14 of each 21 day cycle

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of 36 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the combination of irinotecan and cisplatin showed a partial response rate of 22.9% and a stable disease rate of 60%, indicating its efficacy in this patient population.

The treatment was associated with manageable adverse events, with grade III/IV side effects occurring in a minority of patients, including neutropenia (16.7%) and alopecia (13.9%), suggesting that the regimen is tolerable for patients.

In a phase II study involving 70 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the combination of irinotecan (CPT-11) and cisplatin resulted in a promising objective response rate of 52%, with one complete response and 32 partial responses.

The treatment demonstrated a median survival time of 44 weeks and a 1-year survival rate of 33%, while the major toxicities included leucopenia and diarrhea, affecting a significant portion of patients but deemed acceptable in the context of the treatment's efficacy.

In a study of 400 high-risk stage III colon cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, those with the UGT1A1*28 homozygous mutation experienced significantly higher rates of severe hematologic toxicity (50%) compared to those with the UGT1A1*1 homozygous genotype (16.2%).

The -3156G>A UGT1A1 polymorphism was found to be a strong predictor of early severe hematologic toxicity, with a hazard ratio of 8.4 for patients with the A/A genotype compared to the G/G genotype, indicating the importance of genetic testing before treatment.

In a phase II study involving 45 patients with advanced colorectal cancer, the combination of oral S-1 and weekly irinotecan showed an overall response rate of 48.9%, indicating significant efficacy as a first-line treatment.

The treatment was well-tolerated, with manageable grade 3 or 4 toxicities, including neutropenia (8.9%) and diarrhea (6.7%), suggesting it may be a safer alternative compared to conventional chemotherapy regimens.
