study to assess the safety and tolerability of cft7455 in relapsed/refractory non-hodgkin's lymphoma or multiple myeloma

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma; Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's

Summary: the purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of oral cemsidomide (also known as cft7455) administered at different dosages in subjects with relapsed/refractory (r/r) non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl) or multiple myeloma (mm). cemsidomide may be administered as a single agent and, in mm only, in combination with oral dexamethasone.

received at least 3 prior treatment regimens including lenalidomide, pomalidomide, a proteasome inhibitor, a glucocorticoid and an anti-cd38 antibody. - refractory to, or had documented disease progression within 60 days from the last dose of their prior mm treatment (or, if the last mm therapy was with car-t cells, documented disease progression any time after administration). - nhl subjects must have: * documented diagnosis of nhl and measurable disease defined by measurable disease (consistent with lugano classification) * nhl subjects must have received the following regarding prior therapy: * peripheral t-cell lymphoma: at least one prior line containing alkylator-based chemotherapy. note: for subjects with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl), the subject must also have received cd30 antibody therapy. * mantle cell lymphoma: ≥2 lines of therapy, including cd20 antibody and alkylator chemotherapy, and a bruton's tyrosine kinase (btk) inhibitor. * follicular lymphoma: ≥2 lines of therapy, including cd20 antibody therapy and alkylator chemotherapy. * diffuse large b-cell lymphoma: ≥2 lines of therapy, including prior cd20 antibody therapy, and has received prior autologous bone marrow transplant (or is ineligible for bone marrow transplant). * other nhl: subjects must have been treated or refused treatment with any standard of care therapies known to provide clinical benefit. 5. in phase 2, only subjects with the following indications will be eligible for the appropriate expansion arm: * relapsed/refractory mm (as defined in phase 1 of the study). * relapsed/refractory t-cell nhl including: ptcl, ptcl-nos, aitl and alcl with relapsed refractory disease following 1 prior line of therapy containing alkylator-based chemotherapy will be included. subjects with alcl must have had prior exposure to anti cd30 antibody as part of their prior treatment regimen. 6. have provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion (lymph node or extra-nodal infiltration of a tissue for nhl subjects, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy for mm subjects) and for adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma (atll) subjects \[if applicable\], not previously irradiated. 7. subjects need to have adequate organ function defined as follows to include: - anc ≥1.0 x 109/l - platelets ≥75,000 cells/µl - hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dl - alt and ast ≤3.0 x upper limit of normal (uln); except for subjects who have tumor infiltration of the liver, where alt or ast ≤5 x uln. - total bilirubin ≤1.5 x uln (unless due to gilbert's syndrome). - crcl ≥40 ml/min * international normalized ratio (inr) \<1.5 x uln and aptt \<1.5 x uln (subject receiving anticoagulant therapy must be on a stable regimen) 8. female subjects may not be pregnant or intend to become pregnant, may not breastfeed or intend to breastfeed, or donate ova, and must satisfy one of the following conditions: - a woman of childbearing potential (wocbp) must agree to use highly effective contraception during study participation and 30 days after the completion of study treatment. - a woman on hormone replacement therapy (hrt) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods specified if they wish to continue their hrt during the study - a woman of non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) or postmenopausal 9. a male subject must agree to use a condom when having intercourse with a person of child bearing potential during the treatment period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. 10. males must refrain from donating sperm during the treatment period and for 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. 11. subjects must refrain from donating blood during study treatment and for 30 days after discontinuation. exclusion criteria: 1. presence of central nervous system (cns) disease. 2. has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. 3. have active pneumonitis. 4. have any of the following: -
