Blood cancers that affect B cells are often treated with drugs that block or inhibit a protein in cancer cells called BTK. Some tumors become resistant to these drugs. Researchers want to learn if a new drug (NX-2127) that degrades BTK can help.
Objective:
To learn if NX-2127 can be used to treat certain B-cell blood cancers.
Eligibility:
Adults aged 18 and older with certain B-cell blood cancers who have received at least 2 prior treatments that failed (or 1 for people with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia [WM]). Cancer types include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and WM.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Medical history
Physical exam
Blood and urine tests
PET and/or CT scans
Heart tests
Lymph node biopsy, if needed
Bone marrow biopsy/aspirate, if needed
Participants will take NX-2127 by mouth once daily or every-other day. They will fast for 2 hours before and after taking the drug. On some days, they will fast overnight. They will take the drug until they have bad side effects or their cancer gets worse.
Participants will have weekly study visits for the first 2 months of treatment. Some visits may last 8 hours or more. For the next 2 months, they will have visits every 2 weeks. After that, they will have monthly visits. At visits, they will repeat some screening tests.
Participants will have safety follow-up visits 7 and 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up visits in person or by phone every 3 months for 1 year.
