The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK),
immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of VAY736 alone or in combination with other
therapies in patients with NHL in a platform trial.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04903197.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients
with NHL and identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose (RD) of
VAY736 single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.
This is a phase I/Ib, multi-center, open-label study with multiple treatment arms in an
adaptive study design. The study is comprised of a dose escalation part and dose
expansion part.
In dose escalation, the investigational drug VAY736 was explored alone or in combination
with lenalidomide. Increasing doses of VAY736 alone or in combination were given to small
groups of patients to identify the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose (MTD/RD) in
patients with NHL. In dose expansion, some or all the treatments from dose escalation
could be tested at the recommended doses in patients with NHL. The study was expected to
last approximately 4 years (from the enrollment of the first patient to the
discontinuation of the last patient), but it was terminated early due to a business
decision, not because of any safety or tolerability concerns. Consequently, the dose
expansion part was not conducted.
