Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Signed and dated Informed Consent approved by Local Ethical Committee before any protocol-specific screening procedures
  • Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures
  • Female and male patients who are of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective form of contraception (2 forms of contraception) with their partners throughout participation in this study and for at least 90 days after the last dose of treatment
  • ALK+ Lymphoma diagnosed by IHC or FISH
  • Patiets with prior exposure to Brentuximab are eligible for inclusion. The use of Brentuximab is permitted either as first-line or as a subsequent therapy. Refractory/resistant disease is defined as either (i) no achievement of CR or PR during or at the end of at least one prior line of cytotoxic chemotherapy and one prior ALK inhibitor, or (ii) documented progression occurring within 6 months from completion of such treatments
  • Any prior antitumor medical treatment or major surgeries must have been completed at least 14 days prior to initiation of study medication. This could not be respected if there is clear evidence of disease progression, manifested as growing pain attributable to the tumour, fever, growing tumour lesions, increasing LDH values. Systemic anticancer therapy completed within a minimum of 5 half-lives of study entry

You likely can't join if

  • Current treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions, or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator and/or sponsor, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (that is, active or <3 months prior to enrollment): cerebral vascular accident/stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class = II)
  • Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE Grade =2: second-degree or third-degree AV block (unless paced) or any AV block with PR >220 msec, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation of any grade, bradycardia defined as <50 bpm (unless patient is otherwise healthy such as long-distance runners, etc.), machine-read ECG with QTc >470 msec, or congenital long QT syndrome
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Use of drugs or foods that are known strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, inducers and substrates; drugs that are CYP2C9 substrates; drugs that are strong CYP2C19 inhibitors; drugs that are strong CYP2C8 inhibitors; and drugs that are P-gp substrates

  • Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria: - Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and serum alanine transaminase (ALT) = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or AST and ALT = 5 x ULN if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy - Total serum bilirubin 1.5 x ULN (except patients with documented Gilbert’s syndrome - Creatinine = 1.5 x ULN
