Research summary
The advent of targeted agents to treat B cell malignancies has changed the risk:benefit paradigm traditionally associated with chemotherapy regimens. The question remains whether targeted combination therapy can produce more durable responses than single agents without an undue associated increase in toxicity. This proof-of-concept study will assess the clinical potential of acalabrutinib and vistusertib in subsets of relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. Participating sites are onco-haematology clinics with previous experience in early phase clinical trials and with adequate staff and facilities. Eligible subjects will be treated for up to 12 months. Archival tumour tissue must be available. Subjects will undergo routine blood tests,PET-CT and high-resolution contrast CT scans every 8 weeks to assess the response to treatment. Subjects will also undergo a PET scan at screening and whenever deemed necessary by the PI in order to assess tumour response. Subjects will be asked to complete a dosing diary for their treatment, which is to be taken orally twice a day. Subjects may also be included in a pharmacogenetics and a fresh tumour biopsies sub-studies, on a voluntary basis.
