Selinexor in Combination With MTX+Ritu to Treat R/R CNSL

This is a single-arm and open-label study to explore X+MTX+Ritu (ATG-010, Methotrexate, Rituximab) regimen in Relapse refractory PCNSL patients. Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in the study. In dose escalation phase, patients with Relapse refractory PCNSL will be treated with X+MTX+Ritu regimen and escalating doses of oral ATG-010 weekly in a 3+3 design. Then a phase 2 expansion at the recommended dose level based on phase 1b trial will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability.

About this study

In dose escalation phase, patients with Relapse refractory PCNSL will be treated with X+MTX+Ritu regimen (Methotrexate 3.5 g/m2, d1; Rituximab 375 mg/m2, d0)and escalating doses of oral ATG-010 weekly in a 3+3 design. ATG-010 dose level (DL) 1, 2 and 3 are 60, 80 and 100mg respectively respectively on day 1,8,15,22 for 28-days cycle.

The phase 2 expansion at the recommended dose level based on phase 1b trial. The total 6 cycles, 28 days per cycle . And, Subjects participating in the study will undergo a screening period(up to 21days), a treatment period, and a follow-up period. The screening period is a maximum of 21 days before treatment period, And will be followed by 6 cycles of combination treatment(28 days per cycle).

partial remission(PR) patients after induction treatment will continue ATG-010 maintenance up to 1 year or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death.

Treatment and study plan

Selinexor

Selinexor dose escalation: 60,80,100mg respectively on day 1,8,15,22 for 28 days cycles, and dose expansion at the RP2D of Selinexor.

PR patients after induction treatment will continue ATG-010 maintenance up to 1 year or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death.

Other names: ATG-010

Rituximab

Drug

Rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 28 days for 6 cycles during combination induction treatment.

Other names: RiTUXimab Injection

methotrexate

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose Escalation: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Selinexor

    Time frame: Assessed from the date of first dose of study treatment to the first cycle ends (maximum 21days)

    The MTD will be determined by study definition as the highest dose level without significant safety and tolerability concern.

  2. Dose Escalation: Recommended Phase 2 Does (RP2D) of Selinexor

    Time frame: Assessed from the date of first dose of study treatment to the first cycle ends (maximum 21days)

    The RP2D is defined as the dose level chosen by the sponsor (in consultation with the investigators) for the dose expansion arms, based on safety, tolerability, efficacy data collected during the dose escalation portion of the study

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle consists of maximum 21 days) until a CR, CRu or PR (up to 18 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)).

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a best response of Complete remission (CR) or Unconfirmed(CRu), or PR during induction therapy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug administration to end of treatment, up to 18 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

    Duration from the first observation of at least PR to time of progressive disease(PD), or deaths due to disease progression,whichever occurs first

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: up to 12 months

    Occurrence of death regardless of cause

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: up to 12 months

    Duration from start of study treatment to PD or death (regardless of cause), whichever comes first

  4. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug administration to end of treatment (up to 18 cycles(each cycle is 21 days))

    Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

Other outcomes

  1. Gene mutations and frequency of 475 gene and whole exon

    Time frame: At baseline

    The types of gene mutations and frequency of tumor are measured by whole exon sequencing via NGS(next-generation sequencing).

  2. The concentration of interleukin-10(IL-10),interleukin-6(IL-6),CXCL-13 cytokine in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)

    Time frame: At the baseline, day 1 at cycle 3, 5 (21 days/cycle), and every 3 months in the maintenance stage (up to 1 year))

    The levels of cytokines will be analyzed by flow cytometry

  3. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the CSF

    Time frame: At the baseline, day 1 at cycle 3, 5 (21days/cycle), and every 3 months in the maintenance stage (up to 1 year))

    The levels of ctDNA will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing.
