ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called ASHA-1, is exploring a new treatment called AUR108 for adults with relapsed advanced lymphomas, which are types of blood cancers that have returned after prior treatments. The study aims to understand how safe AUR108 is, how well it works, and to determine the best dose for patients. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are at least 18 years old and have had their lymphoma come back after trying other therapies. To qualify, patients should have a specific type of lymphoma, good overall health, and must have tried at least two previous treatments without success.

Participants in this trial will receive AUR108 and will be closely monitored for any side effects and how their body responds to the treatment. Importantly, this is the first time AUR108 is being tested in humans, so researchers are eager to learn more about its effects. If you or a loved one are considering joining this study, it's essential to discuss it with a healthcare provider to understand the potential benefits and risks involved.

• 3. Acceptable bone marrow and organ function at screening as described below:
• • 1. ANC ≥ 1000/μL (without WBC growth factor support)
• • 2. Platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL without transfusion support
• • 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (Transfusion is allowed to achieve this Hb)
• • 4. Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; (Patients with known Gilbert's syndrome are allowed with a Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x ULN)
• • 5. AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 × ULN if known liver metastases)
• • 6. ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 × ULN if known liver metastases)
• • 7. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min (either measured or estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula). (Cockcroft-Gault formula for estimated creatinine clearance \[eCrCl\]: eCrCl = \[140- Age\] × Weight \[kg\] × \[0.85 if Female\] / \[72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL)\]).
• • 4. Ability to swallow and retain oral medications
• • 5. Histo-pathological diagnosis of a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma orHodgkin Lymphoma. Note: The lymphoma should be either in Stage III or IV according to Lugano classification (Cheson BD et al, 2014) at screening.
• • 6. In the case of subjects who have lymphoma for which high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDASCT) is considered a standard curative therapy, eligibility for this study requires that the subject's disease has relapsed after HDASCT, that the subject is not eligible for HD-ASCT, or that the subject has refused HD-ASCT.
• • 7. In the case of subjects who have lymphoma for which CAR-T therapy is considered a standard therapy, eligibility for this study requires that the subjects disease has relapsed after CAR-T, or that the subject has refused CAR-T, or that the CAR-T therapy is not accessible to the patient.
• • 8. Evidence of measurable disease as per Lugano Criteria for Lymphoma (Cheson BD et al, 2014).
• • 9. Standard curative measures do not exist, and patient must have exhausted all effective therapies, available locally.
• • 1. At a minimum, the patients must have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapies. These systemic therapies could be either in the stage II, III or IV.
• • 2. Any cancer patient with access to any effective therapy must not be enrolled.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Systemic anti-cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy, or biological therapy, immunomodulatory drug therapy, received within the past 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, from the Cycle 1 Day 1 of the study.
• • Note: Concomitant use of low dose prednisone (up to 10 mg/day) is allowed.
• • 2. Presence of an acute or chronic toxicity resulting from prior anticancer treatment, with the exception of alopecia or nail changes, that has not resolved to Grade ≤ 1, as determined by NCI CTCAE v 5.0.
• • 3. Definitive Radiotherapy within the last 21 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 (limited field palliative radiation is allowed and no restrictions during the screening period or during the trial).
• • 4. Use of any investigational agent within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
• • 5. Patients with cutaneous lymphomas, mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS).
• • 6. Primary CNS lymphoma
• • 7. Known symptomatic or untreated or recently treated (≤ 6 months of screening) central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Patients with previously treated (\> 6 months of screening) CNS lymphoma and are now stable and asymptomatic, from CNS perspective, are allowed
• • 8. Patients with lymphoma that requires immediate cytoreductive therapy
• • 9. Patients with lymphoma that requires immediate cytoreductive therapy
• • 10. Patients on the drugs which are sensitive substrates of CYP2C8 and cannot be discontinued at least one week prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
• • 11. Patients on the drugs which are sensitive substrates of either Poglycoprotein (P-gp) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and cannot be discontinued at least one week prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
• • 12. Major surgery ≤ 28 days from Cycle 1 Day 1 (major surgery is defined as a procedure requiring general anesthesia)
