Study summary

This study is a single-arm, prospective, exploratory clinical trial aimed at exploring the efficacy and safety of zeprumetostat in patients with relapsed/refractory large granular T-cell leukemia. The study is expected to enroll 10 patients with relapsed/refractory large granular T-cell leukemia for treatment with zeprumetostat .

The patients will undergo a maximum 4-week screening period and then enter the treatment phase, where they will receive zeprumetostat 350mg twice daily orally. The treatment lasts for 28 consecutive days as one cycle. If adverse events occur during the treatment, they will be handled according to the suspension and resumption standards.

The efficacy and safety will be evaluated after the patients complete two cycles of administration.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The proportion of achieving hematological remission after two cycles of treatment

    Hematological response is evaluated by hemoglobin (Hb), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelet count (PLT), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute large granular lymphocyte count, and blood transfusion.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The incidence of adverse reactions during treatment

    Use Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5 to assess the adverse event

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. The time to achieve partial hematological remission

    HPR is assessed by Hb, ANC, PLT, ALC, absolute large granular lymphocyte count and blood transfusion

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  3. Time to achieve complete hematologic response

    HCR is assessed by Hb, ANC, PLT, ALC, and absolute large granular lymphocyte count.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  4. Time to achieve complete molecular response

    CMR is assessed by Hb, ANC, PLT, ALC, and absolute large granular lymphocyte count

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  5. Change of the health-related quality of life after two cycles of treatment

    Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is used to assess the health-related quality of life of patients. The SF-36 has eight scaled scores; the scores are weighted sums of the questions in each section. Scores range from 0 - 100. Lower scores = more disability, higher scores = less disability

    Time frame: Baseline and 2 cycles of therapy (Each cycle is 28 days)

  6. Time from treatment benefit to disease recurrence

    Duration time was calculated from response to relapse.

    Time frame: A minimum of 2 years of planned follow-up

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
