OJP-001 treatment for adults with adult T‑cell leukemia/lymphoma

A Phase I/II Study of OJP-001 for Recurrent or Relapsed Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma Patients With Peripheral Blood Tumor.

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Otsuka Medical Devices Co., Ltd. Japan · NCT07075328

This study tests whether OJP-001 — a combination of oral 5‑ALA and an extracorporeal photodynamic system — is safe and can help adults with aggressive adult T‑cell leukemia/lymphoma.

What this trial studies

This Phase I/II interventional trial uses oral 5‑ALA plus an extracorporeal photodynamic device (OJP-001) to treat patients with aggressive adult T‑cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Phase I uses a single dose 5‑ALA dose‑escalation (10, 20, 40, 60 mg/kg) with one administration of OJP-001 to determine tolerability, recommended dose, and pharmacokinetics. Phase II gives 5‑ALA and OJP-001 once weekly for six months to collect efficacy and safety data. Key outcomes include safety/tolerability, recommended Phase II dose, pharmacokinetics of OMD‑001, and clinical response.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 20–85 with aggressive ATLL (acute, lymphoma type, or chronic with unfavorable features) who have peripheral blood involvement and prior therapy history such as mogamulizumab exposure or relapse after transplant, and who meet laboratory and performance status criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with severe cytopenias (hemoglobin <10 g/dL), splenomegaly, low body weight (<35 kg), significant recent chemotherapy within 28 days, or marked liver dysfunction are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new treatment option that reduces disease burden and improves outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive ATLL.

How similar studies have performed: Extracorporeal photopheresis and other photodynamic approaches have shown activity in some T‑cell disorders, but combining oral 5‑ALA with this specific OJP-001 extracorporeal PDT system for ATLL is novel and not yet proven.
