Loncastuximab and Roflumilast Added to R-CHOP (Lo-RR-CHOP) for Naïve High-Risk Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Purpose
This study is developed by the investigator and is a, phase I, single arm, clinical trial that will enroll subjects with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCBL) at high risk for poor outcome. The types of treatments given will be shared with participants. The aims are: 1. To assess the safety and how well the participants tolerate the treatment 2. Assess the response of the tumor to treatment to estimate complete response 3. Assess the response of the tumor to treatment to estimate progression-free survival

Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma, including untreated symptomatic epidural disease. 9. Active uncontrolled infection. 10. Poorly controlled depressive symptoms and/ or currently under management for depression that is poorly controlled. 11. Significant disease or medical conditions, as assessed by the Investigator and Sponsor, that would substantially increase the riskbenefit ratio of participating in the study. This includes, but is not limited to, acute myocardial nfarction within the last 6 months, unstable angina, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, significant active infections, and congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class III-IV. 12. Second malignancy, except treated basal cell or localized squamous skin carcinomas, localized prostate cancer, or other malignancies for which subjects are not on active anti-cancer therapies and have had no evidence of active malignancy for at least 1 year. 13. History of major surgery within 3 weeks or minor surgery within 1 week of roflumilast administration. Major surgery includes, for example, any open or laparoscopic entry into a body cavity, or operative repair of fracture; minor surgery includes, for example, open surgical biopsy of palpable/superficial lymph node, or placement of vascular access device. 14. Other medical or psychiatric illnesses or organ dysfunction, which in the opinion of the investigator, would either compromise the subject's safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study agent. 15. Corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation (defined as a QTc >450 ms for males and >470 ms for females -Fridericia's correction-) or other clinically significant ECG abnormalities as assessed by the investigator. 16. Baseline serum troponin above the upper limit of normal. 17. Baseline serum BNP above the age-adjusted upper limit of normal. 18. Baseline amylase above the upper limit of normal. 19. Subjects known to be HIV-positive must not have multi-drug resistant HIV infection, CD4 counts < 150/µl or other concurrent AIDS-defining conditions. Serologic screening for HIV is required within the 6 months prior to study enrollment. 20. Subjects positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C-virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA), unless both AST and ALT≤1.25 x ULN and there is no known history of chronic active hepatitis. Serologic screening for hepatitis B and C testing is required within the 6 months prior to study enrollment. 21. Subjects with moderate or severe liver impairment, as defined by a Child-Pugh class of B or C. 22. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 23. Current use of any of the following medications: boceprevir, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, cobicistat, conivaptan, enzalutamide, fluvoxamine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, mitotane, phenytoin, posaconazole, rifampin, ritonavir, St. John's Wort, telaprevir, voriconazole, or zafirlukast. 24. Current use of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) including efavirenz, rilpivirine, etravirine, delavirdine, nevirapine, and lersivirine.

Detailed Description
Exploratory analyses include cell free DNA (cfDNA). Each subject's disease will be biologically characterized at baseline. Enrolled subjects will receive 2 cycles of chemotherapy free therapy composed of loncastuximab 0.15 mg/kg, rituximab 375 mg/m2, and roflumilast 500 ug po daily; followed by 6 cycles of chemoimmunotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) at standard of care (SOC) doses, in combination with loncastuximab and roflumilast 500 ug po daily. Loncastuximab at a dose of 0.075 mg/kg will be added to other chemoimmunotherapy agents only for the first three (3) out of six (6) cycles. All subjects will have PET-CT at four time points during the trial: 1) screening, 2) cycle 3 (after the 2 initial chemotherapy free cycles of therapy), 3) cycle 6 (after 3 cycles of loncastuximab, roflumilast and R-CHOP), and 4) at end of therapy (EOT) after completing a total of eight cycles of treatment planned for the trial (two chemotherapy free and six of chemoimmunotherapy). All subjects will have cfDNA monitoring at three time points during the trial: 1) cycle 1 day 1 (baseline), 2) cycle 3 day 1 (after the 2 initial chemotherapy free cycles of therapy), and 3) at end of therapy (EOT) after completing a total of eight cycles of treatment planned for the trial (two chemotherapy free and six of chemoimmunotherapy). Responses will be evaluated by PET-CT as per Lugano response criteria1 and correlated with cfDNA analysis. Cycles are 21 days long.
