A Dose-Finding Study of Folotyn® (Pralatrexate Injection) Plus CHOP With Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

July 23, 2021 updated by: Acrotech Biopharma Inc.

A Phase 1, Dose-Finding Study of Folotyn® (Pralatrexate Injection) Plus Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (CHOP) in Patients With Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of pralatrexate in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen in patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, two-part, dose-finding, dose-escalation study.

The study is divided into two parts:

Part 1

Up to five sequential dose cohorts will enroll a maximum of 6 patients each. Escalation of the pralatrexate dose, after CHOP administration (Fol-CHOP), will continue in a traditional 3+3 design, until determination of the MTD. If the MTD is not reached, the Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of pralatrexate in combination with CHOP will be 30 mg/m2 IV on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles.

The first cohort will begin with three patients with dose A and CHOP at full dose. If none of the first three patients experiences a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), the next three patients will be enrolled in next higher dose cohort. If one of the first three patients in the first cohort experiences DLTs, an additional three patients will be enrolled into that cohort. If 2 or 3 of the first 3 patients experience DLTs, then the MTD is not found.

For cohorts 2, 3, 4, and 5, If none of the first three patients experiences a DLT, the next three patients will be enrolled in next higher dose cohort. If one of the first three patients in the first cohort experiences DLTs, an additional three patients will be enrolled into that cohort. If 2 or 3 of the first 3 patients experience DLTs, then the previous cohort will be considered the MTD and up to an additional 10 patients will be enrolled at that dose in Part 2 of the study.

Part 2

Once the MTD for the Fol-CHOP regimen has been established in Part 1 of the study, an additional 10 patients will be treated at the MTD (or MAD if MTD not reached) to confirm tolerability. Additionally, the PK of the established MTD of pralatrexate, when administered with CHOP at full dose, will be evaluated in these 10 patients.

EXPERIMENTAL: Part 1: Dose Finding, Cohort 1

Dose finding Phase Intervention: Folotyn (Pralatrexate Injection) CHOP: Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone

The first cohort will begin with three patients with dose A of pralatrexate plus CHOP at full dose.

The second cohort will begin with three patients with dose B of pralatrexate plus CHOP at full dose.

The third cohort will begin with three patients with dose C of pralatrexate plus CHOP at full dose.

The fourth cohort will begin with three patients with dose D of pralatrexate plus CHOP at full dose.
