- Original description
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat 2 types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) called follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). FL is a slow-growing type of NHL. DLBCL is a fast-growing type of NHL. NHL is a cancer in the lymphatic system that causes swollen lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Phase 1b/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MK-1045 Monotherapy or in Combination With Other Anticancer Agents in Participants With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat 2 types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) called follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). FL is a slow-growing type of NHL. DLBCL is a fast-growing type of NHL. NHL is a cancer in the lymphatic system that causes swollen lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system.
In this study, researchers want to learn if MK-1045 can treat FL and DLBCL. MK-1045 is a study treatment that is an immunotherapy, which helps the immune system fight cancer.
The goals of this study are to learn how safe MK-1045 is and if people tolerate it. Researchers also want to see if FL and DLBCL respond (the cancer gets smaller or goes away) to treatment.
Inclusion: The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:; Has disease that has relapsed (disease progression after remission) or is refractory (failure to achieve complete or partial response) to at least 2 prior systemic lines of therapy; Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (FL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); DLBCL participants only: has progressed after or is ineligible for transplant and chimeric antigen receptor T (cell) (CAR-T) therapy; Has provided tumor tissue sample (archival or newly obtained, if performed per standard of care); Has documented retained expression of cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) in tumor tissue obtained by biopsy after disease progression on CD19-targeting therapy, if experienced disease progression after prior CD19-targeting therapy; Has well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy if has a history of HIV infection; Has undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load and received and will continue to receive HBV antiviral therapy if hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive; Has undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load and received HCV antiviral therapy if has a history of HCV infection; Has radiographically measurable disease per Lugano Response Criteria.
