Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This study will be a standard 3+3 design with a lead in of TGR-1202 at dose of 600mg (dose level 1) or 800mg daily (dose level 2) for 6 weeks, i.e. 2 cycles, followed by pembrolizumab at 200mg every 3 weeks for 8 cycles along with TGR-1202 for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL or CLL. If the dose of 600mg daily of TGR-1202 (dose level 1) is tolerated in the first cohort the dose will be increased to 800mg qd which is the only and final dose escalation. If TGR-1202 is not tolerated at 600mg daily the dose will be decreased to 400mg daily. The lead in of TGR-1202 was chosen to ensure clinical benefit and to minimize the occurrence of early overlapping toxicity with pembrolizumab as most toxicities were observed early on in the treatment with idelalisib, a related PI3K-inhibitor, and rituximab.

Eligibility Criteria

Adults over 18 with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL or CLL who've had at least one prior standard therapy can join. They must have measurable disease, be able to consent, and have good organ function and performance status. Women of childbearing potential must use birth control, as should men.

Treatment Details

The trial tests TGR-1202 in two doses (600mg or 800mg daily) for six weeks followed by pembrolizumab every three weeks for eight cycles. The study uses a '3+3 design' to find the safest dose that shows benefits while minimizing early toxicities.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: TGR-1202 and pembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All patients will receive TGR-1202 and pembrolizumab. Patients will start receiving TGR-1202 daily for 6 weeks (2 cycles). Pembrolizumab will be given every 3 weeks for 8 cycles. If the daily dose of TGR-1202 (dose level 1) is tolerated in the first cohort the dose will be increased which is the only and final dose escalation. If TGR-1202 is not tolerated the dose will be decreased.
