Duvelisib in Combination with Oral Azacitidine for the Treatment of Lymphoid Malignancy
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of duvelisib in combination with oral azacitidine in treating patients with lymphoid malignancy. Duvelisib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the signals that cause cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop the spread of cancer cells. Oral azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. Giving duvelisib and oral azacitidine together may work better in treating patients with lymphoid malignancy.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the safety and dose limiting toxicity of the combination of PI3K inhibitor (duvelisib) with hypomethylating agent (oral azacitidine [BMS-986345]) in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoid malignancy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the overall response rate to the treatment with combination therapy.
II. To evaluate the disease control rate of the combination.
III. To evaluate the progression free survival and overall survival in patients treated with the combination therapy.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the changes in different T cells subpopulation in response to PI3K inhibition and hypomethylation.
II. To evaluate the changes in phosphorylated(p)AKT in response to single agent duvelisib in comparison to combination duvelisib and BMS-986345.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of duvelisib and oral azacitidine.
Patients receive duvelisib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 7-28 of cycle 1 and days 1-28 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive oral azacitidine PO once daily (QD) on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo blood sample collection, positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans and CT scans throughout the trial. Additionally, patients may undergo a bone marrow biopsy during screening per investigator discretion.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.
