About this trial
This is a multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-cancer activity of oral administration of emavusertib alone or in combination with ibrutinib in adult participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) hematologic malignancies.
This trial will be completed in four parts. In Part A1, emavusertib will be evaluated first in a dose escalating monotherapy setting to establish the safety and tolerability (complete). In Part A2, emavusertib will be evaluated in combination with ibrutinib at 560 milligrams (mg) once daily (QD) or 420 mg QD as indicated by disease (Part A2 complete).
Part B will comprise 2 cohorts to assess safety and efficacy of emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in participants with R/R primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who have directly progressed on a bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). In this part of the study, emavusertib will be dosed at 100 mg or 200 mg twice daily (BID) in combination with ibrutinib in 28-day treatment cycles.
Part C will comprise 3 treatment arms in the second-line setting to assess the efficacy and safety of emavusertib monotherapy, ibrutinib monotherapy, and emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in participants with R/R PCNSL who are naïve to BTKi treatment. In this part of the study, eligible second-line participants with R/R PCNSL who are naïve to BTKi treatment will be randomized 1:1:1 to 1 of 3 treatment arms: (1) emavusertib 200 mg BID, (2) ibrutinib 560 mg QD, or (3) emavusertib 200 mg BID in combination with ibrutinib 560 mg QD.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Males and females greater than or equal to 18 years of age
Life expectancy of at least 3 months
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2
Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of PCNSL (medical record is acceptable). Cerebral biopsies are not required if imaging reveals typical images of PCNSL.
Disqualifiers
Participants with only intraocular PCNSL without brain lesion or CSF involvement, T-cell lymphoma, systemic presence of lymphoma, or non-CNS lymphoma metastatic to the CNS
Evidence of systemic lymphoma. This must be demonstrated by a positron emission tomography (PET) scan (or CT scan with contrast if applicable) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis at Screening (testicular ultrasound may be considered to exclude a testicular lymphoma disseminated to the brain).
Prior history of malignancies other than lymphoma (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast) or prior history of systemic lymphoma, unless the participant has been free of the disease for ≥ 3 years.
Active malignancy other than PCNSL requiring systemic therapy
