Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, CYC140, to see if it is safe and effective in treating advanced solid tumors and lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults (≥18 years) with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that have worsened after standard therapy, or when no standard treatment is available. They must be able to take oral medication and not have GI issues affecting drug absorption. Participants need a stable health status, confirmed by an ECOG score of 0-2, and agree to use effective birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CYC140, taken orally daily in two phases: Phase 1 for safety and dosage in various cancers; Phase 2 focuses on effectiveness in specific cancers. It's open-label so everyone knows they're getting the drug, and it measures how the body processes it.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of CYC140 are not listed here, common ones from similar cancer drugs include nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to lowered immunity, diarrhea or constipation, and potential liver toxicity.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Phase 2 = Recommended CYC140 phase 2 dose and schedule administered orally in 28-day cycles.
Group II: Phase 1 Dose EscalationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Phase 1 = CYC140 administered orally in escalating doses starting at 5mg QD M-F week 1 to 3 for 3 weeks of a 4 week cycle. Subsequent cohorts will escalate in dose and schedule until optimized phase 2 dose and schedule is achieved.

Other Research
Common treatments for lymphoma include chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin, work by damaging the DNA of rapidly dividing cells, leading to cell death. Targeted therapies, like Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib) and BCL2 inhibitors (e.g., venetoclax), specifically target molecular pathways crucial for lymphoma cell survival and proliferation. Immunotherapies, including monoclonal antibodies (e.g., rituximab), enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Understanding these mechanisms helps patients and doctors choose the most effective treatment based on the specific characteristics of the lymphoma, potentially improving outcomes and minimizing side effects.
