What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label Phase I study aims to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of TT-01488, a non-covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, in adult patients with B-cell malignancies. The study will follow a dose escalation and expansion design, starting with a sentinel cohort at a dose of 50 mg daily. Subsequent patients will be enrolled using a modified 3+3 design to determine the recommended dose for further testing. The study will ultimately evaluate the safety and efficacy of the selected dose in a larger cohort.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed B-cell malignancies who have failed or are intolerant to multiple prior treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with untreated B-cell malignancies or those who have not received prior therapies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with B-cell malignancies who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies involving BTK inhibitors have shown promise in treating B-cell malignancies, suggesting potential for success with this approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants with histologically confirmed B-cell malignancy, failed or intolerant to either ≥ 2 prior standard/common regimens given in combination or sequentially OR have received 1 prior BTK-containing regimen, relapse/refractory, and with treatment indication:

  * Active graft versus host disease (GvHD);
  * Cytopenias from incomplete blood cell count recovery post-transplant;
  * Need for anti-cytokine therapy for toxicity from CAR-T therapy; residual symptoms of neurotoxicity \> Grade 1 from CAR-T therapy;
  * Ongoing immunosuppressive therapy
* Grade ≥ 2 toxicity (other than alopecia) continuing from prior anticancer therapy, including radiation
