PROCLAIM-CX-072: a phase 1/2 trial to find the best dose and test the effectiveness of a newer drug, CX-072, in people with solid tumours or lymphoma

This trial is testing targeted drugs in people whose lymphoma got worse after standard treatment.

Note: This trial is recruiting people with other types of cancer also. This information is only for people with lymphoma.


Purpose of trial

The aim of this trial is to test whether CX-072 on its own or in combination with other treatments is safe and effective for people with advanced-stage (widespread) solid tumours or lymphomas that got worse despite standard treatment. The trial aims to find out:

  • the best dose of CX-072 alone and in combination with ipilimumab or vemurafenib
  • the side effects of CX-072 alone or with other treatments
  • if CX-072 alone or in combination with other treatments can reduce the cancer.

Treatments

CX-072 is an immune checkpoint inhibitor – it works by helping the immune system recognise and attack the cancer cells.

Ipilimumab and vemurafenib are newer drugs already used to treat advanced melanoma. They are in clinical trials for other types of cancer.

Everyone in this trial has CX-072. Different doses and schedules of treatment are being tested. Some people in this trial have ipilimumab or vemurafenib in combination with CX-072. You cannot choose which treatment you have. You are told which treatment you are having and you are given information about it.

CX-072 and ipilimumab are given intravenously (through a drip into a vein).Vemurafenib is taken as tablets.
