study of purinostat mesylate for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (r/r dlbcl)

Conditions: Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma，DLBCL

Summary: purinostat mesylate for injection (pm) was the novel and highly potent class ia and iib hdac selective inhibitor. the results of regular blood sampling analysis of the mouse b-cell lymphoma model induced by ighmyc transgenic mice showed that the treatment of pm in each group reduced the proportion of peripheral blood tumor cells in mice. therefore, pm has the potential to treat diffuse large b cell lymphoma. the results of in vitro enzymatic activity screening showed that pm has high inhibitory activity on type i hdacs (including hdac1, 2, 3, 8 subtypes) and type ii hdacs (including hdac6, 10 isoforms), which are closely related to tumors in the hdac family. therefore, the results of in vitro enzyme activity screening showed that the ic50 values of pm for inhibiting hdac1, hdac2, hdac3, hdac8, hdac6, and hdac10 subtypes of hdac class i and hdac class iib were 0.81, 1.4, 1.7, 3.8, 11.5, and 11 nm, respectively. however, the inhibitory activity of hdac iia and hdac iv enzymes was low, and its ic50 values for hdac4, hdac5, hdac7, hdac9, and hdac11 subtypes of hdac iia and hdac iv were 1072, 426, 590, 622, and 3349 nm, respectively. these data means pm shows high selectivity for tumor-associated hdac class i and hdac iib. compared with the blank control group, the body weight of the tumor-bearing animals in each dose of pm group did not decrease significantly during the treatment process, and the animals were in good condition during the whole experiment, indicating that the pm is efficacious and safe. main purpose: to further explore the safe and effective dose of purinostat mesylate for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. to evaluate the objective response rate (orr) of purinostat mesylate for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. secondary purpose: to evaluate the time to tumor response (ttr), duration of response (dor), disease control rate (dcr), and progression-free survival (pfs) in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma with purinostat mesylate for injection ), overall survival (os). assessing the safety and tolerability of purinostat mesylate for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. exploratory purpose: to explore the biomarkers related to the efficacy of purinostat mesylate for injection.


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. age ≥ 18 years, both males and females are eligible; 2. histologically confirmed diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl) by tissue biopsy (including primary dlbcl and transformed dlbcl from indolent lymphoma; patients with relapse after more than one year require a repeat tissue biopsy to confirm the pathological diagnosis), and must be relapsed/refractory, specifically defined as: dlbcl patients who have received no more than 5 lines of prior systemic therapy. relapse includes: 1) relapse occurring more than 6 months after the completion of second-line therapy; 2) relapse occurring more than 3 months after sequential hematopoietic stem cell transplantation following second-line therapy. refractory includes: 1) primary refractory to first-line standard therapy (i.e., no response to treatment or relapse within 6 months after treatment completion); 2) relapse within 6 months after second-line therapy or failure to achieve partial response (pr) after 2 or more cycles of second-line therapy, or progression during second-line therapy (no specific cycle requirement for refractory patients). prior treatment must include anti-cd20 monoclonal antibody (unless contraindicated) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy (unless anthracycline is contraindicated). anti-cd20 monoclonal antibody monotherapy for consolidation or induction does not count as a separate line of therapy. prior stem cell transplantation is allowed; standalone autologous stem cell transplantation does not count as a line of therapy, as induction, consolidation, stem cell collection, conditioning regimen, and transplantation ± maintenance therapy are considered one line of therapy. 3. presence of measurable lesions, defined as: lymph node lesions with the longest diameter \> 15 mm or extranodal lesions with the longest diameter \> 10 mm as measured by contrast-enhanced ct, mri, or pet-ct;
