Chidamide, Azacitidine Combined With GM Regimen for Relapsed and Refractory DLBCL Patients

A Phase 2 Study of Chidamide, Azacitidine Combined With GM Regimen for Patients With Relapsed and Refractory DLBCL

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAGM regimen in R/R DLBCL patients and to provide a safe and more effective approach for R/R DLBCL patients.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Chidamide; Drug: Azacitidine; Biological: obinutuzumab; Drug: Liposomal mitoxantrone

Detailed Description

The study will start with an initial 2 cycles of induction therapy with CAGM containing chidamide, azacitidine, obinutuzumab and mitoxantrone liposome, orelabrutinib and rituximab，following imaging examinations to evaluate response rates. For patients feasible to CAR-T/ASCT, sequential CAR-T/ASCT treatment was given. For patients who were unable to undergo CAR-T/ASCT, 4 cycles of CAGM immunochemotherapy were carried out. Efficacy and safety of CAGM regimen in R/R DLBCL will be evaluated.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Chidamide, Azacitidine Combined With GM(CAGM) Regimen; R/R DLBCL patients were treated with 2 cycles of CAGM regimen including chidamide, azacitidine, obinutuzumab and liposomal mitoxantrone followed by imaging examination. Patients achieved CR/PR were exposed to ASCT/CAR-T therapy or additional 4 cycles of CAGM regimen in patients ineligible for ASCT/CAR-T therapy; whereas, patients with SD/PD were withdrawn from this study.

Drug: Chidamide; 20 mg (4 capsules), d1, d4, d8, d11 orally per cycle; Other Names: Tucidinostat; Drug: Azacitidine; 100mg d1- d5 subcutaneous injection per cycle; Other Names: AZA; Biological: obinutuzumab; 1000mg d4 intravenous infusion per cycle; Other Names: Gazyva; Drug: Liposomal mitoxantrone; 20mg/m2 d5 intravenous infusion per cycle; Other Names: PLM60

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall response rate(ORR)	The rate of patients who achieved CR or PR after treatment by CAGM regimen	At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
Complete response rate(CRR)	The rate of patients who achieved CR after treatment by CAGM regimen	At the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, Treatment-Related Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events	The safety and tolerability of the therapeutic regimen measured by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events.	initiation of study drug until 30 days after last dose
Progression-free survival(PFS)	PFS will be assessed from the first CAGM given to date of progression, relapse, death or end of follow-up.	Up to 24 months after the end of last patients' treatment.
Overal survival(OS)	OS will be assessed from the first CAGM given to date of death or end of follow-up.	Up to 24 months after the end of last patients' treatment.
Overall response rate(ORR)	The rate of patients who achieved CR or PR after treatment by CAGM regimen	At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 28 days)
Complete response rate(CRR)	The rate of patients who achieved CR after treatment by CAGM regimen	At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 28 days)
