Continued Treatment Study for Patients with Blood Cancers Using Tafasitamab

3 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial focuses on patients with hematologic cancers, which are types of cancer that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. The study involves a treatment using tafasitamab, a medication that is administered as a solution for infusion. Tafasitamab is a humanized monoclonal antibody, which means it is a type of protein designed to target specific cells in the body. It is used to help treat certain blood cancers by targeting and binding to a protein called CD19 found on the surface of cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to provide continued treatment and monitor the safety of tafasitamab in patients who have already been receiving this medication in previous studies. Participants in this study will continue to receive tafasitamab as part of their treatment plan. The study will observe how patients respond to the medication over time and will monitor any side effects or adverse reactions that may occur. This ongoing treatment aims to support patients who have shown a positive response or stable disease condition with tafasitamab in earlier studies.

Throughout the study, patients will have regular visits to receive their treatment and to check on their health status. The study will last for a period of time, allowing researchers to gather important information about the long-term use of tafasitamab in treating hematologic cancers. This information will help in understanding the safety and effectiveness of the medication for patients who continue to benefit from it.

1 joining the study

Upon joining the study, you will be required to provide signed informed consent. This means you agree to follow the study’s requirements and restrictions as outlined in the informed consent form.

2 initial assessment

An initial assessment will be conducted to confirm that you are still receiving treatment with tafasitamab from a previous study and that you are tolerating the treatment well. The investigator will check if you are experiencing clinical benefits, such as complete or partial response or stable disease.

3 treatment continuation

You will continue to receive tafasitamab as a solution for infusion. This means the medication will be administered directly into your bloodstream through an infusion. The dosage and frequency will be the same as specified in the previous study you were part of.

4 scheduled visits

You will need to attend scheduled visits as part of the study. These visits are necessary to monitor your health and the effects of the treatment. The schedule for these visits will be provided to you by the study team.

5 safety evaluation

Throughout the study, the safety of the treatment will be evaluated. This involves monitoring for any serious adverse events (SAEs) or other side effects. The study aims to ensure that the treatment remains safe for you.

6 study duration

The study is expected to continue until December 31, 2027. Your participation will be required until the study ends or until it is determined that you are no longer benefiting from the treatment.

Who Can Join the Study?

  • Capable of giving signed informed consent, which means you understand the study and agree to follow its rules.
  • Currently enrolled and receiving treatment with tafasitamab from a previous clinical study.
  • Tolerating the tafasitamab treatment well at the dose specified in the previous study, as determined by the study doctor.
  • Showing a complete or partial response, or stable disease, and benefiting from the tafasitamab treatment in the previous study, as determined by the study doctor.
  • Following the rules and requirements of the previous study, as determined by the study doctor.
  • Willing and able to attend scheduled visits, follow treatment plans, and participate in other study procedures.
  • Both men and women can participate.
  • Participants can be from vulnerable populations, which means they might need extra protection or care.

Who Cannot Join the Study?

  • Patients with certain types of blood cancers, known as hematologic malignancies, cannot participate.
  • Patients who are not within the specified age range for the study cannot participate.
  • Patients who are part of a vulnerable population, which means they might need special protection or care, cannot participate.

Trial locations

Investigated drugs:

Tafasitamab is a medication used in the treatment of certain types of blood cancers, known as hematologic malignancies. It works by targeting a specific protein on the surface of cancer cells, helping the body’s immune system to recognize and destroy these cancer cells. This medication is typically used in patients who have already been receiving it in previous studies, and the trial aims to continue its use to ensure ongoing treatment and monitor its safety.

Investigated diseases:

Hematologic malignancies – Hematologic malignancies are a group of cancers that begin in the cells of the blood or in the bone marrow, which is the soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are produced. These diseases can affect the production and function of blood cells, leading to an overproduction of abnormal cells. As the disease progresses, these abnormal cells can crowd out healthy blood cells, impairing the body’s ability to fight infections, carry oxygen, and control bleeding. The progression can vary depending on the specific type of hematologic malignancy, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. Over time, the accumulation of abnormal cells can lead to symptoms like fatigue, fever, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding. The disease can also spread to other parts of the body, affecting organs and tissues beyond the blood and bone marrow.
