Study summary

This is an exploratory, open-label, investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of the safety, efficacy, and PK/Pd of UB-VV400 alone and in combination with rapamycin in adult subjects with R/R LBCL. LBCL will include subjects with aggressive lymphoma, defined as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS), including high-grade lymphoma (HGL) with double/triple hit DLBCL; transformed DLBCL (tDLBCL), including Richter's transformation; follicular lymphoma Grade 3B (FL3B); and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). The study will include subjects who have had prior CD19-directed CAR T-cell exposure and subjects who are CAR T cell-naive. Clinical unmet need exists in both populations.

The objective of this study is to determine the MTD/MAD and following study of UB-VV400 administered alone and in combination with rapamycin. The dose-finding (DF) portion will evaluate the safety profile of UB-VV400 administered at various dose levels (DLs) alone (Stage 1) and in combination with rapamycin (Stage 2).

The dose-expansion (DE) portion will further optimize the dose and define the safety profile and preliminary efficacy of UB-VV400 alone and/or in combination with rapamycin. The study will use the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design to allocate subjects to various DLs to minimize exposure to subtherapeutic DLs while maintaining appropriate safety parameters. DF will consist of 2 stages: Stage 1 DF aims to identify the MTD of UB-VV400 monotherapy, and Stage 2 DF aims to identify the MTD of UB-VV400 in combination with rapamycin. DF will be initiated in Stage 1 with UB-VV400 monotherapy, administered IV and starting at DL1.

  13. Women of childbearing potential must:

    1. Have 2 negative pregnancy tests verified (one negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG] at screening and another within 48 hours prior to treatment withUB-VV400).
    2. Commit to "true abstinence" from heterosexual intercourse or agree to use and complywith highly effective, uninterrupted contraception for 12 months after administration of UB-VV400 .
    3. Abstain from breastfeeding for 12 months following administration of UB-VV400.
  14.

  15. Subjects must agree not to donate blood, organs, sperm/semen, and/or egg cells for use for at least 1 year following treatment with UB-VV400 alone or in combination with rapamycin. Insufficient data are available to define a duration of time sufficient to make a recommendation on when it is safe to donate any tissue; therefore, subjects should not donate any tissue after administration of UB-VV400.

  3. Subjects with a prior malignancy whose clinical course or management has the potential to interfere with the safety and/or efficacy evaluation of the clinical trial.

Cytotoxic chemotherapy (eg, alkylators, anthracyclines) within 14 days before dosing with UB-VV400.

    e. Any experimental agent (ie, not approved for disease/indication or with accepted consensus guidelines recommendation) within 4 weeks before dosing with UB-VV400 unless progression has been documented and a minimum of 3 half-lives has elapsed.

    f. Any immune-suppressing agent within 28 days before dosing with UB-VV400 (eg, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, immunosuppressive antibodies such as anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF]/IL-6).

    g. Radiation within 4 weeks before dosing with UB-VV400 (palliative radiation to a symptomatic lesion[s] is allowed if at least one additional, non-irradiated, measurable lesion remains present to assess response).

    h. Prophylactic treatment with short-acting oral antiretroviral medications within 7 days before UB-VV400 administration. Long-acting antiretroviral prophylaxis is not allowed within 2 years of UB-VV400 treatment.
