Testing UB-VV111 with and without Rapamycin for B-cell cancers

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label Study of UB-VV111 in Combination With Rapamycin in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) CD19+ B-cell Malignancies

Phase 1 Interventional Umoja Biopharma · NCT06528301

This study is testing a new treatment called UB-VV111, with and without another drug called rapamycin, to see if it can help people with certain types of B-cell cancers that haven't responded to other treatments.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of UB-VV111, both alone and in combination with rapamycin, in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The study employs a dose-escalation and dose-confirmation methodology to determine the optimal dosing and assess antitumor activity. Participants must have measurable disease and meet specific eligibility criteria, including adequate organ function and performance status.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Not a fit: Patients with isolated central nervous system involvement or those who have had prior allogeneic bone marrow transplants may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat B-cell malignancies.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies involving CAR T-cell therapies have shown promising results, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.
