Nab-paclitaxel/Rituximab-coated Nanoparticle AR160 in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation (nab-paclitaxel)/rituximab-coated nanoparticle AR160 in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or is not responding to treatment. Nab-paclitaxel/rituximab-coated nanoparticle AR160 is a combination of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and rituximab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and rituximab may work better in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) or if total bilirubin is > 1.5 X ULN, the direct bilirubin =< ULN

• Alkaline phosphatase =< 3 X ULN unless due to direct lymphoma involvement, and then =< 5 X ULN

• Aspartate transaminase (AST) =< 3 X ULN unless due to direct lymphoma involvement, and then =< 5 X ULN

• Calculated creatinine clearance must be >= 30 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula

• Willing to provide tissue for central review blood samples for correlative research purposes

• No other therapy with demonstrated clinical benefit in relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL available to the patient

• Negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any of the following:

• Pregnant women

• Nursing women

• Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

• Active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or cerebrospinal fluid involvement with malignant lymphoma cells that requires therapy

• Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

• Patients who received most recent therapy =< 4 weeks prior to registration; NOTE: use of systemic steroid therapy is allowed pretreatment

• Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm

• Patients must be disease-free of prior invasive malignancies for > 5 years prior to registration with the exception of curatively-treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

• Myocardial infarction or unstable angina =< 6 months prior to registration

• Congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias

• Clinically significant peripheral vascular disease
