About this trial
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose/regimen of ST-067 in combination with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (liso-cel) and how well it works in treating patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or LBCL that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). ST-067 is an engineered variant of the human cytokine interleukin-18 that may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous CAR T-cell therapy prepared using the person's own immune system (a group of cells, tissues, and organs that protect the body from attack by bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells) to fight the cancer. Giving ST-067 in combination with liso-cel may better treat patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
Will be graded in severity according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, with the exception of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, which will be graded according to the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy consensus criteria. The type, frequency, and severity of AEs and laboratory abnormalities will be listed and summarized.
Dose limiting toxicities (DLT)
Will be graded in severity according to the NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Will be summarized based on the DLT evaluable population. Final DLT rates at each dose level will be estimated by isotonic regression by applying the pooled adjacent violators algorithm. The target toxicity rate is 30%.
Optimal biological regimen
Will be assessed based on safety and tolerability, confirmation of maximum target engagement, optimal biological effects without undesirable clinical effects, pharmacokinetics parameters, and biological response data.
Complete response (CR) rate
Will be assessed by Lugano criteria. Will be summarized along with the 2-sided 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI) based on the efficacy-evaluable population.
Secondary outcomes
CR rates
Will be assessed by Lugano criteria. Will be summarized along with the 2-sided 95% exact Clopper-Pearson CI based on the efficacy evaluable population.
Overall response rates
Will be assessed by Lugano criteria. Will be summarized along with the 2-sided 95% exact Clopper-Pearson CI based on the efficacy evaluable population.
Duration of response (DOR)
DOR will be assessed among responders. If a patient does not have an event for the DOR analyses, the patient will be censored at the date of the last adequate disease assessments or prior to the earliest censoring event. The censoring reason can include last contact/follow-up, discontinuation or completion of the study, receipt of another anticancer treatment with the exception of consolidation therapy with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and at least two consecutive missed scheduled disease assessments. Kaplan-Meier (KM) method will be used.
Progression free survival (PFS)
If a patient does not have an event for the PFS analyses, the patient will be censored at the date of the last adequate disease assessments or prior to the earliest censoring event. The censoring reason can include last contact/follow-up, discontinuation or completion of the study, receipt of another anticancer treatment with the exception of consolidation therapy with HCT, and at least two consecutive missed scheduled disease assessments. KM method will be used.
