Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial

Ixazomib Citrate and Rituximab in Treating Patients With Indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well ixazomib citrate and rituximab work in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that grows slowly (indolent). Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving ixazomib citrate together with rituximab may work better in treating indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive ixazomib citrate orally (PO) on days 1, 8 ,15, and 22. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon completion of 6 cycles of ixazomib citrate therapy, patients also receive rituximab intravenously (IV) once weekly for 4 doses total, followed by ixazomib citrate alone, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care

Female patients who:

Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR
Are surgically sterile, OR
If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent form through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, OR
Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject; (periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception)

Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy), must agree to one of the following:

Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, OR
Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject; (periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception)

Patients must have a diagnosis of one of the following B-NHL malignancies: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), or Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM)/ lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL); patients with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) subtype of MZL may have relapsed or refractory disease after a course of antibiotic therapy; otherwise, patients will not have received standard systemic treatment for their B-NHL before the time of study enrollment; standard systemic therapy is defined by including any of the following agents, representing a comprehensive list of recommended front-line agents used in the treatment of B-NHL: cytotoxic chemotherapies (bendamustine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, chlorambucil, cytarabine, gemcitabine, platinum drugs, etoposide); anti-CD20 antibodies (obinutuzumab, ofatumumab, rituximab); lenalidomide; ibritumomab tiuxetan; proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib, carfilzomib); tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, idelalisib); alemtuzumab; corticosteroids unless given for an indication other than treating the B-NHL; or other therapy as determined by the principal investigator (PI)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 3 x ULN
Calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min
Patients are required to meet criteria for initiation of therapy for their B-NHL according to published guidelines by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)

Patients must have measurable disease defined by at least one of the following criteria:

Lesions greater than 1.5 cm that can be accurately measured in two dimensions by computed tomography (CT) (preferred), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and are not included in any prior field of radiation given to treat B-NHL
In patients with CLL, circulating lymphocytes >= 5,000 / mm^3
In patients with WM/LPL, measurable serum monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM)

Exclusion Criteria:

Female patients who are lactating or have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period
Major surgery within 14 days before enrollment
Known central nervous system involvement
Infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy or other serious infection within 14 days before study enrollment
Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure, and unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
Systemic treatment, within 14 days before the first dose of ixazomib, with strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily A, polypeptide 2 (CYP1A2) (fluvoxamine, enoxacin, ciprofloxacin), strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) (clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, voriconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, posaconazole) or strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of ginkgo biloba or St. John's wort
