Study summary

This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, FIH study comprising of 2 study parts (Phase Ia, Phase Ib).

The Phase Ia (dose escalation) part of the study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RP2D) of BR101801 in subjects with relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), and peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL).

The Phase Ib (dose expansion) part of the study is designed to assess tumor response and safety in specific advanced relapsed/refractory Peripheral T-cell lymphoma(PTCL) at a dose of BR101801 identified in Phase Ia. Once the RP2D has been determined in Phase Ia (dose escalation), Phase Ib (dose expansion) will commence.

Read the detailed description
  1. Phase Ia (Dose Escalation)

    Primary Objectives

    • To assess the safety and tolerability of BR101801 in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma, CLL/SLL, and PTCL.
    • To assess DLT and to determine the MTD and/or the RDE dose for BR101801 when administered orally on a daily schedule in 4-week cycles until disease progression.

    SecondaryObjectives

    • To characterize the plasma and urine PK of BR101801.
    • To assess the preliminary antitumor activity of BR101801.
  2. Phase Ib (Dose Expansion)

Primary Objectives

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of BR101801 at the RP2D dose in subjects with relapsed/refractory Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

SecondaryObjectives

  • To assess clinical activity of BR101801 when administered orally on a daily schedule in 4-week cycles until disease progression.
  • To assess the plasma PK of BR101801.

OUTLINE: This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, FIH study. The safety monitoring committee(SMC) will be responsible for safety oversight.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To determination of the MTD and RDE based on DLTs during Cycle 1 (Phase Ia)
