What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called TLN-254, a potential drug for T-cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, when other treatments have failed. The study targets individuals whose cancer has returned or not responded to previous treatments. Participants are divided into two groups: one for peripheral T-cell lymphoma and another for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Eligible participants must have this type of lymphoma, have tried other treatments, and show visible signs of the disease. As a Phase 1 trial, the research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you must not have had any systemic anti-cancer treatment within 4 weeks before starting the study.

Is there any evidence suggesting that TLN-254 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that TLN-254 is being tested for safety in people with T-cell lymphoma. This is a Phase 1 trial, meaning doctors primarily assess the treatment's safety for humans. They aim to determine the highest dose patients can tolerate without serious side effects.

Limited information exists on TLN-254's safety in humans, but this phase focuses on closely monitoring how patients handle the treatment. Phase 1 trials typically involve a small group of people, allowing researchers to observe any immediate health effects.

Prospective participants should know that the team will monitor for side effects to ensure safety. They will adjust doses based on participants' reactions to the treatment. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Researchers are excited about TLN-254 for lymphoma because it offers a novel approach compared to standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Unlike these traditional methods that often affect both healthy and cancerous cells, TLN-254 targets specific pathways involved in lymphoma cell survival and growth, potentially reducing side effects. This targeted mechanism could lead to more effective treatment outcomes, making TLN-254 an exciting development in the fight against lymphoma.

What evidence suggests that TLN-254 might be an effective treatment for lymphoma?

Research is investigating TLN-254 as a potential treatment for T-cell lymphoma. This drug blocks EZH2, an enzyme that can promote cancer growth. Early studies have shown that inhibiting EZH2 might slow or halt tumor growth in some cancers, such as lymphoma. Although human data on TLN-254 remains limited, its interaction with cancer cells appears promising. The current trial includes two separate cohorts, each receiving TLN-254 as a single agent, to determine if it can shrink tumors in patients whose lymphoma has recurred or resisted other treatments. The primary goal is to gather early evidence of its effectiveness against tumors. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals with T-cell lymphoma that has returned or hasn't responded to previous treatments. Specific details about who can join are not provided, but typically participants need to meet certain health standards and have a confirmed diagnosis.

Published Research Related to This Trial

The 2022 International Consensus Classification has updated the classification of nodal T- and NK-cell lymphomas, grouping T-follicular helper cell lymphomas into a single entity with three subtypes, which reflects their shared origin and characteristics.

A new provisional entity, primary nodal EBV-positive T-/NK-cell lymphoma, has been introduced, highlighting the evolving understanding of these malignancies and the need for precise diagnostic strategies.

In a large phase II study involving 166 patients with untreated systemic peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), a dose-dense induction therapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) resulted in a 5-year overall survival rate of 51% and a progression-free survival rate of 44%.

The treatment was well tolerated, with a low treatment-related mortality rate of 4%, indicating that this approach is a promising option for patients with PTCL, especially given the advanced age and high-risk profile of the participants.

High-dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-autoSCT) shows good feasibility and low toxicity for treating peripheral T/NK-cell lymphomas (PTCLs), which are rare and have poor prognosis.

Achieving complete remission before transplantation is the most important factor for improving patient outcomes, and a new randomized trial will compare HDT-autoSCT with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) to better define treatment roles.

Impact of autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation in peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Reimer, P.[2021]

Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), the most common T-/NK cell lymphoma in Japan, is linked to the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1), prompting extensive clinical research.

Current clinical trials are exploring various treatment options for ATL, including an anti-CCR4 antibody, forodesine, and lenalidomide, with additional discussions on pralatrexate and denileukin diftitox for ATL and peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Clinical trials for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I-associated peripheral T-cell lymphoma in Japan. Tobinai, K.[2018]

Peripheral T/NK-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are rare and have a worse prognosis compared to B-cell lymphomas, with standard treatments yielding long-term remissions in only 15-42% of patients.

High-dosage therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT) shows similar outcomes to aggressive B-cell lymphomas for relapsing PTCL, suggesting it may be a viable salvage option, but the effectiveness of newer treatments remains uncertain, highlighting the need for clinical trials.
