City:  Chicago
State:  
IL
Zip Code: 60637
Conditions: B Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Purpose: The purpose is to identify a dose of SB-485232 which is safe, tolerable and effective when used in combination with Rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). This study will use a standard treatment regimen of Rituximab in combination with rising doses of SB-485232. The dose selected from this study will be used in a future studies.
Study summary:
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Histologically confirmed diagnosis of any subtype of CD20+ B cell NHL. Subjects must have disease that progressed after standard therapy or for which there is no effective standard therapy (including high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation). NOTE: If the subject has had a prior autologous stem cell transplant, it must have occurred at least three months prior to screening and the subject must be fully recovered from any acute toxicities. - Prior treatment with Rituximab is allowed, provided it was completed at least six months before study enrollment. - Male or female ≥ 18 years of age. - Measurable or evaluable disease. - Predicted life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. - ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1. - No chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, or biological therapy for cancer, radiotherapy, or surgical procedures (except for minor surgical procedures) within four weeks before beginning treatment with SB-485232 (6 weeks for nitrosoureas and mitomycin C). Subjects must have recovered from toxicities (incurred as a result of previous therapy) sufficiently to be entered into a Phase I study. - A signed and dated written informed consent form is obtained from the subject. - The subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, timetables, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions. The subject is likely to maintain good venous blood access for PK and PD sampling throughout the study. - A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of: a. non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) including any female who: - has had a hysterectomy, - has had a bilateral oophorectomy (ovariectomy), - has had a bilateral tubal ligation, - is post-menopausal (demonstrate total cessation of menses for greater than 1year), If amenorrheic for less than one year, post-menopausal status will be confirmed by serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and oestradiol concentrations at screening. or, b. childbearing potential, has a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screen Visit, and agrees to one of the following GSK acceptable contraceptive methods: - any intrauterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year. - vasectomized partner who is sterile prior to the female subject's entry and is the sole sexual partner for that female. - oral contraceptive (either combined or progesterone only). - because of the unacceptable failure rate of barrier (chemical and/or physical) methods, the barrier method of contraception must only be used in combination with other acceptable methods described above. - Adequate organ function, Exclusion Criteria: - Women who are pregnant or are breast-feeding. - Significant cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal or autoimmune conditions that in the opinion of the investigator and/or GSK medical monitor, places the subject at an unacceptable risk as participant in this trial. - The subject has diabetes mellitus with poor glycemic control. - The subject has a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other immunodeficiency disease. - The subject has positive Hepatitis B surface antigen. - Corrected QT interval (QTc) > 480msec. - The subject has a history of a severe infusion related reaction or tumor lysis syndrome following treatment with Rituximab (Section 10.2.2). - The subject has a circulating malignant cell count > 25,000/mm3 in peripheral blood. - The subject has known anaphylaxis or IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to murine proteins. - The subject has an acute infection or severe or uncontrolled infections requiring systemic antibiotic therapy. - Any serious medical or psychiatric disorder that would interfere with subject safety or informed consent. - Known leptomeningeal disease or evidence of prior or current metastatic brain disease. Routine screening with central nervous system (CNS) imaging studies (CT or MRI) is required only if clinically indicated. - Receiving concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or investigational therapy. - Oral corticosteroids within 14 days of study entry. - History of alcohol abuse within six months of screening or alcohol consumption in the past six months exceeding seven drinks/week for women and 14 drinks/week for men (where 1 drink = 5 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor). - History of ventricular arrhythmias requiring drug or device therapy. - Any unresolved or unstable serious toxicity from prior administration of another investigational drug. - Any investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of SB-485232. - Donation of blood in excess of 500 mL within a 56-day period prior to dosing.
