Testing STP938 for patients with relapsed or refractory B-Cell and T-Cell lymphomas

An Open-Label, First in Human, Phase 1/2 to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of the CTPS1 Inhibitor STP938 In Adult Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell and T-Cell Lymphomas

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Step Pharma, SAS · NCT05463263

This study is testing a new drug called STP938 to see if it can help adults with tough-to-treat B-cell and T-cell lymphomas feel better.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of STP938, an inhibitor of the enzyme CTPS1, in treating adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell and T-cell lymphomas. The trial consists of two phases: the first phase focuses on dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose, while the second phase expands to assess the drug's efficacy across five different lymphoma types. Participants will receive STP938 as a tablet, and blood samples will be collected to monitor the drug's effects on both the lymphoma and the body. The study aims to provide insights into a new treatment option for patients with limited alternatives.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory B-cell or T-cell lymphomas who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with lymphoma types that do not meet the inclusion criteria or those who have not exhausted other treatment options may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat lymphomas.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in targeting CTPS1 for lymphoma treatment, similar studies targeting other enzymes have shown promise in cancer therapies.
