Bristol Myers Squibb is a global drug company based in Princeton, New Jersey, whose purchase of Celgene, completed in November 2019, made blood cancers and blood disorders a large part of its business. Most of its medicines treat common conditions such as cancer, heart disease and schizophrenia, but many of them are for rare diseases.

Golcadomide and Rituximab as Bridging Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Before CAR T-cell Therapy

Tests Biospecimen Collection, Bone Marrow Aspiration, Bone Marrow Biopsy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy, Computed Tomography, Golcadomide, Leukapheresis, Positron Emission Tomography, Rituximab

For Large B-Cell Lymphoma With IRF4 Rearrangement, Recurrent Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Recurrent ALK-Positive Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Recurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Activated B-Cell Type and Recurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Associated With Chronic Inflammation

This phase II trial tests the effectiveness of golcadomide and rituximab as bridging treatment before chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Patients that are able to receive CAR T-cell therapy have a potential for cure, however, many will not be qualified to receive therapy due to relapse. Bridging therapy is therapy intended to transition a patient from one therapy or medication to another or maintain their health or status until they are a candidate for a therapy or have decided on a therapy. Golcadomide may help block the formation, growth or spread of cancer cells. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving golcadomide and rituximab as bridging therapy before CAR T-cell therapy may kill more tumor cells and may improve the chance of proceeding to CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

D2 - Isa-Iber-VD Induction, Followed by Risk & Response Adapted Consolidation & Maintenance, in Transplant-Eligible NDMM

Tests Isatuximab, Iberdomide, Bortezomib (B), Dexamethasone, Melphalan, Linvoseltamab, On Body Delivery System (OBDS)

For Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of the study is to determine the best treatment approach based on the risk profile of the cancer cells and on how the disease responds to treatment. This is a randomized research study evaluating treatment for transplant-eligible participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Induction therapy in this study includes the drugs isatuximab, iberdomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone. After induction therapy, participants will receive consolidation and maintenance therapy that is adapted based on their risk profile and response to treatment. The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility, study visits, blood and bone marrow tests, disease assessments, treatment with study drugs, and follow-up visits. It is expected that about 720 participants will take part in this study.
