Study Details
This clinical trial is for men and women with relapsed or refractory lymphomas including:
- Hodgkin
- Follicular
- CLL
- DLBCL
- Mantle cell lymphoma
The study is evaluating the experimental drug BMS-986016 (Anti-Lag-3), to demonstrate adequate safety and tolerability, as well as a favorable risk/benefit profile, to support further clinical testing.
The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part A consists of a dose escalation design and Part B consists of cohort expansion in 4 disease-restricted populations. Treatment in Part B will be initiated when the maximum tolerated dose (or maximum administered dose) for Part A has been determined.
Subjects will complete up to 3 periods of the study: Screening (up to 28 days), Treatment (up to a maximum of twelve 8-week cycles of therapy), and Clinical Follow-up (135 days following last dose of study drug). Women of child bearing potential will have additional follow-up assessments through Day 165 for home pregnancy tests. Each treatment cycle comprises 4 doses of BMS-986016 administered intravenously on Days 1, 15, 29, and 43. Subjects will continue on treatment as long as they are responding to therapy and not experiencing unacceptable side effects.
