Loncastuximab Tesirine and Venetoclax for Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a new loncastuximab tesirine and venetoclax in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Loncastuximab tesirine is a monoclonal antibody, called loncastuximab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called tesirine. Loncastuximab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD19 receptors, and delivers tesirine to kill them. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving loncastuximab tesirine and venetoclax may work better in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
