An early phase clinical trial to investigate EO2463, a novel cancer vaccine therapy, in patients with indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
EU CTIS ID: 2023-509254-58-00
What this study is testing
Phase 1: to define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for EO2463 monotherapy, and to confirm the safety of EO2463 at the monotherapy RP2D in combination with lenalidomide (EL), rituximab (ER), and lenalidomide/rituximab (ER^2). Phase 2: to estimate the objective response rate (ORR) according to the Lugano Classification 2014 during EO2463 monotherapy. An additional primary objective for the phase 2 part of the trial is to estimate the complete remission (CR)-rate according to the Lugano Classification 2014 during therapy with the combination of EO2463/lenalidomide/rituximab (ER).
