A Trial to Study if REGN5837 in Combination With Odronextamab is Safe for Adult Participants With Aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NCT05685173) is a Phase 1 interventional studying B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (B-NHL), sponsored by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN5837 in combination with another drug, odronextamab (called "study drug\[s\]"), in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (B-NHLs). The study has 2 parts. The aim of the first part (dose escalation) is to find a safe dose of REGN5837 when given in combination with odronextamab. The goal of the second part (dose expansion) is to use the REGN5837 drug dose found in the first part to see how well REGN5837 in combination with odronextamab works. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (that could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (B-NHL), a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 107 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (B-NHL) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Key Who May Qualify: 1. Have documented CD20+ aggressive B-NHL, with disease that has progressed after at least 2 lines of systemic therapy containing an anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent, as described in the protocol. 2. Measurable disease on cross sectional imaging as defined in the protocol 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 4. Adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function as defined in the protocol 5. Availability of tumor tissue for submission to central laboratory is required for study enrollment. Archival tumor tissue for histological assessment prior to enrollment is allowed 6. During dose expansion phase of the study, participant should be willing to undergo mandatory tumor biopsies, if in the opinion of the investigator, the participant has an accessible lesion that can be biopsied without significant risk to the participant. Key Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Prior treatments with allogeneic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation, treatment with anti-CD20 x anti- CD3 bispecific antibody, such as odronextamab 2. Diagnosis of Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) 3. Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) lymphoma or known involvement by non-primary CNS lymphoma, as described in the protocol 4. Treatment with any systemic anti-lymphoma therapy within 5 half-lives or within 14 days prior to first administration of study drug, whichever is shorter, as described in the protocol 5. Standard radiotherapy within 14 days of first administration of study drug, as described in the protocol 6. Continuous systemic corticosteroid treatment with more than 10 mg per day of prednisone or corticosteroid equivalent within 72 hours of start of odronextamab 7. Co-morbid conditions, as described in the protocol 8. Infections, as described in the protocol 9. Allergy/hypersensitivity: Known hypersensitivity to both allopurinol and rasburicase NOTE: Other protocol defined inclusion / exclusion criteria apply Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
