  • Research summary

    Advanced haematologic malignancies (cancers of the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes) represent a diverse collection of diseases including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) and multiple myeloma (MM). These cancers are often dependent on a protein called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2). Advanced haemotologic malignancies have proven very difficult to treat and remain an area of a significant unmet medical need.

    LOXO-BCL-20001 is a two-part, non-randomised, open-label, multicentre study evaluating oral administration of LOXO-338 in patients with advanced haematologic malignancies who have been previously treated with standard therapy for their underlying malignancy. This study has two-parts: Part 1 will evaluate LOXO-338 as monotherapy. Part 2 will evaluate the combination of LOXO-338 with BTK inhibitor, pirtobrutinib.

    LOXO-338 is a BCL-2 inhibitor designed to block the function of BCL-2 in advanced haematologic malignancies.
    LOXO-338 (either alone or with pirtobrutinib) will be administered in cycles defined as 28 days. In both parts of the study there will be parallel groups for flat dose LOXO-338 administration and an escalating dose of LOXO-338.

    The primary objective of Part 1 is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of oral LOXO-338 in patients with previously treated CLL/SLL or other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) and B-cell malignancies. Also, to determine the effect of LOXO-338 on response rates in Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) and hematologic response rates in AL amyloidosis.

    The primary objective of Part 2 is to determine the safety profile and tolerability of LOXO-338 when given in combination with pirtobrutinib in patients with previously treated:
    o CLL/SLL
    o Other NHLs and other protocol allowed B-cell malignancies

    Approximately 316 patients will participate in the study globally.
