Study description
This study is needed to test the study drug, S055746, in patients with B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL).
NHL is a cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. This system is part of the body’s defense system that fights against infections. CLL is a cancer that starts in the white blood cells (called lymphocytes). In these cancers, cancer cells have higher amounts of certain proteins. One of these proteins is BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2). This protein protects cancer cells from death, allowing them to survive and multiply.
The main goals of this study were:
- To test the safety of S055746.
- To find the maximum tolerated dose of S055746. The MTD is the highest dose of the drug that can be taken without too much risk.
- S 55746
- CL1-55746-001
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sex
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part in the study, participants had to:
- Be aged 18 years or older.
- Have been diagnosed with NHL or CLL that:
- Came back after standard treatment (called relapsed).
or
-
- Did not respond to the standard treatment (called refractory).
Participants could not take part in the study if they:
- Had previously received a drug that blocks BCL-2.
- Had received anticancer medicines within 3 weeks before starting the study.
- Had undergone treatment with radiation within 8 weeks or major surgery within 3 weeks before the starting the study.
How is the study designed?
All participants took the same study drug, S55746, available as oral 100 mg tablets. Participants took the study drug during time periods called “cycles”. Participants took oral tablets of S55746 once daily during 21-days cycles. There was no interruption of treatment between cycles.
The treatment was maintained as long as the cancer did not progress and the participants did not have too severe side effects.
