Study of Chidamide, Decitabine and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in R/R NHL and Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; Advanced Solid Tumors
• Interventions: Drug: Chidamide; Drug: Decitabine; Drug: Immune checkpoint inhibitors（anti-PD1/PD-L1/CTLA4 antibodies）

• Registration Number: NCT05320640
• Lead Sponsor: Chinese PLA General Hospital

Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of Chidamide, Decitabine and Immune checkpoint inhibitors in relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

Chidamide is a novel and orally active benzamide class of HDAC inhibitor that selectively inhibits activity of HDAC1, 2, 3 and 10, which can induce tumor-cell apoptosis, suppress cell proliferation and enhance immune surveillance. Low-dose decitabine inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferase, which can increase the expression of tumor antigens and HLA molecules, enhance antigen processing, promote T cell infiltration, and boost effector T cell function. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as effective therapies for many cancers by promoting the reactivation and restoring function of T cells. In conclusion, we speculate that the chemotherapy free regimen of Chidamide, Decitabine and Immune checkpoint inhibitors may explore a new avenue for therapeutic intervention in relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and advanced solid tumors.

6. The guidelines（ASCO/CSCO）recommend patients to participate in clinical trials.
7. Subjects must have at least one measureable target lesion.
8. Willingness to provide written informed consent for the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective response rate (ORR)	3 years	The percentage of patients with CR or PR was determined according to the revised lymphoma efficacy evaluation criteria (Lugano 2014 criteria) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Adverse events	3 years	Incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events are graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for adverse events (version5.0).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Duration of response (DOR)	3 years	Time from the first recording of CR or PR evidence to disease progression or death from any cause was determined according to the revised lymphoma efficacy evaluation criteria (Lugano 2014 criteria) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Progression-free survival (PFS)	3 years	Time from the date of first administration of the study drug to disease progression or death from any cause.
