What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for B-cell cancers, such as monoclonal antibodies (e.g., rituximab), BTK inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib), and chemotherapy agents (e.g., bendamustine), often have side effects including infusion reactions, infections, cytopenias, diarrhea, bleeding, atrial fibrillation, myelosuppression, nausea, vomiting, and increased risk of infections. The investigational drug ABBV-525, currently being studied, may share similar side effects, but its specific profile is still under investigation.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several drugs for the treatment of B-cell cancers, including monoclonal antibodies like rituximab, ofatumumab, and obinutuzumab, which target the CD20 antigen on B-cells. Kinase inhibitors such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib, which inhibit Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), have also been approved. These treatments have shown efficacy in various B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), with varying safety profiles. The investigational drug ABBV-525 is being studied for its potential to provide a new therapeutic option in this category.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives to ABBV-525 for B-cell malignancies include: 1) Ibrutinib, which has shown efficacy in various B-cell cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). 2) Acalabrutinib, noted for its reduced off-target effects and greater BTK occupancy compared to ibrutinib. 3) Venetoclax, which has demonstrated high response rates in combination therapies for CLL. 4) Obinutuzumab, often used in combination with other agents like venetoclax or ibrutinib for enhanced efficacy. These alternatives have been validated in multiple clinical trials and offer promising treatment options for B-cell malignancies.

Summary

This trial tests a new drug called ABBV-525 for treating a type of white blood cell cancer. It involves adults with this cancer and aims to find the best dose by giving the drug in different amounts. The study will last several years and requires frequent check-ups.

Who is the study for?

Adults with certain advanced B-cell malignancies, who are in good physical condition (ECOG PS of 0 or 1), expected to live at least 12 weeks, and have recovered from COVID-19 can join. They must not have active brain cancer, bleeding disorders, recent strokes, uncontrolled infections including hepatitis B/C or HIV, nor be currently sick with COVID-19.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing ABBV-525 tablets for treating various types of B-cell cancers. It has three parts: increasing doses to find the safest amount (dose escalation), finding the best dose among two options (dose optimization), and then giving that best dose to more people (dose expansion).

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects aren't specified but may include typical reactions related to oral cancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, liver issues or blood count changes. Regular hospital visits will monitor for these and other adverse events.

Other Research

The most common treatments for B-Cell Cancers, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), include targeted therapies like Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib, acalabrutinib) and BCL-2 inhibitors (e.g., venetoclax). BTK inhibitors block the BTK enzyme, which is crucial for B-cell receptor signaling, thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and survival. BCL-2 inhibitors induce apoptosis in cancer cells by targeting the BCL-2 protein, which prevents programmed cell death. These mechanisms are vital for B-Cell Cancer patients as they offer more precise and effective treatment options with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. Investigational drugs like ABBV-525 aim to further refine these targeted approaches, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.
