Background:
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are blood cancers that can be difficult to treat. They can also return after treatment. Examples include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). More effective treatments are needed for these diseases.
Objective:
To test the safety of a study drug (VIP152) in combination with other drugs used to treat people with aggressive blood cancers.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years or older diagnosed with DLBCL, PTCL, or related blood cancers. The cancers must have either not responded to treatment or returned after treatment.
Design:
Participants will undergo screening. They will have a physical exam with scans and blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. They may also provide a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy.
Participants may provide a saliva sample for DNA testing.
Participants will receive study treatment in cycles. Each cycle is 21 days.
Participants will take two drugs by mouth at home once a day on days 1-10 of each cycle.
On days 2 and 9 they will come to the clinic to receive VIP152. This drug will be administered through a small plastic tube with a needle placed in a vein.
On day 11, participants will receive a fourth medication as an injection under the skin. They will rest and recover on days 12-21.
Screening tests will be repeated periodically throughout the study period.
Treatment will continue for up to 24 cycles.
Participants will have follow-up visits for up to 5 years.

Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma NHL Hematologic Malignancies Lymphoid Malignancies | Device: Vysis LSI MYC Break Apart Rearrangement Probe Kit Drug: venetoclax Drug: VIP152 Drug: prednisone | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Background:
- High unmet medical need for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after exhausting chemotherapy and/or chemo-immunotherapy regimens
- Targeted therapies aimed at disrupting cell death pathway in hematologic malignancies are emerging and showing significant activity in both the relapsed and first-line settings
- VIP152 is a selective inhibitor of PTEFb/CDK9 and is expected to show efficacy in tumor indications that overexpress MYC and MCL-1. VIP152 monotherapy has demonstrated a mild toxicity profile and preliminary efficacy in Phase 1 studies in advanced cancer
- The combination of VIP152 with venetoclax and prednisone (VVIP) targets major cell-death pathways in lymphoid malignancies (BCL-2 and MCL-1) and may overcome chemo-resistance and/or single drug resistance to venetoclax
Objectives:
- Phase 1: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and the safety and toxicity profile of the combination of VIP152 with venetoclax and prednisone (VVIP) in relapsed/refractory lymphoid malignancies
- Phase 2: To determine the complete response (CR) rate of the combination of VIP152 with venetoclax and prednisone (VVIP) in R/R lymphoid malignancies
