Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a phase 2 multi-cohort, un-controlled, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study that assessed the antitumor activity and safety of non-alpha interleukin (IL-2) SAR444245 with or without other anticancer therapies in participants aged 12 years and older with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma. This study was structured as a master protocol with separate sub studies designed to investigate the use of SAR444245 either with or without other anticancer therapies for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma.

Substudy 1-Cohort A aimed to establish safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity for non-alpha interleukin (IL-2) SAR444245 combined with the anti-PD1 antibody, pembrolizumab in trial participants with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) who are anti-PD-(L)1-naive and have received at least 2 or 3 lines of systemic therapy.

Substudy 3-Cohort C1 aims to establish safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity for SAR444245 as monotherapy in trial participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Trial participants in this study must have received at least 2 lines of systemic therapy and have either stable or progressive disease 1-3 months post Health Authority approved Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) treatment when given as last systemic treatment prior to study enrollment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The duration of the study for an individual participant started from the signature of the main informed consent and included:

a screening period of up to 28 days;

a treatment period \[max\] 35 cycles (21 days per cycle) for Cohort A and 52 cycles (14 days per cycle) for Cohort C1 or until occurrence of unacceptable toxicities or until PD;

an end-of-treatment visit at least approximately 30 days following the last administration of study drug (or until the participant receives another anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier);

and a follow-up visits 3 months after treatment discontinuation and every 3 months thereafter following, until disease progression, or initiation of another antitumor treatment, or death, whichever is earlier.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort A: Pegenzileukin 24 μg/kg + Pembrolizumab

Participants with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) who were anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-naïve and had received at least 2 or 3 lines of systemic therapy received pegenzileukin 24 microgram per kilogram (μg/kg) via intravenous (IV) infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days), along with pembrolizumab 200 milligram (mg) via 30 minutes IV infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days) as third-line or fourth-line (3/4L) therapy, until disease progression (PD), unacceptable adverse event (AE) or other full permanent discontinuation criteria was met or completion of Cycle 35.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants must have been ≥ 12 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent
* Disease location was amenable to tumor biopsy at baseline
* All participants must have had a measurable disease
* Both male and female participants agreed to use approved contraception methods; not pregnant or breastfeeding for female participants; no donation or cryopreservation of eggs (ova, oocytes) for female participants and sperms for male participants.
* Had to be capable of giving signed informed consent

For cohort A: Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), must have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy for cHL, including at least one containing an anthracycline or brentuximab.

For cohort C1: Histologically confirmed diagnosis of diffuse large B Cell lymphoma (DLBCL), must have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy for DLBCL, including one containing a combination of anthracycline and rituximab (or another anti-CD20 agent), with the last line of therapy a Health Authority approved CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. Patients must have BOR (Best Overall Response) of stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) after CD-19 directed CAR-T therapy.
