a study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of gsk2816126 in subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large b cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, other non-hodgkin's lymphomas, solid tumors and multiple myeloma

Conditions: Cancer; Neoplasms

Summary: this is an open-label, multicenter, 2-part study to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (rp2d) for gsk2816126 given twice weekly by intravenous (iv) infusion. part 1 will be conducted in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl), transformed follicular lymphoma (tfl), other non-hodgkin's lymphomas (nhl), solid tumors (including castrate resistant prostate cancer) and multiple myeloma (mm) to determine the safety and tolerability of gsk2816126. expansion cohorts (part 2) are planned to further explore clinical activity of gsk2816126 at the rp2d in subjects with enhancer of zeste 2 (ezh2) wild type and ezh2 mutant positive germinal center b-cell like diffuse large b cell lymphoma (gcb-dlbcl), tfl and mm.

or child bearing potential and agrees to use effective contraception as described in the protocol, for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy and for at least 2 weeks (14 days) following the last dose of study treatment. women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of first dose of study treatment followed by negative urine or serum pregnancy test once every 4 weeks (prior to next dose cycle) thereafter.- adequate organ system function as defined in the protocol. part 2 inclusion criteria * in addition to inclusion criteria listed for part 1, part 2 will enroll gcb-dlbcl tfl and mm subjects only. relapsed and/or refractory mm or tfl that have failed prior standard therapy and for which there is no standard salvage regimen * lymphoma subjects will be required to undergo ezh2 mutation testing. this will require availability of archival tissue, or willingness to undergo fresh biopsy, for central testing of ezh2 mutation status. * based on the results of the mutation test, lymphoma subjects may be enrolled in one of four cohorts: gcb-dlbcl ezh2 mutant cohort: tumors must contain one, or more, of the following ezh2 activating mutations: y641f;
