About

This phase I/II trial aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of Chidamide, Decitabine and Immune checkpoint inhibitors in relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and advanced solid tumors.

Full description

Chidamide is a novel and orally active benzamide class of HDAC inhibitor that selectively inhibits activity of HDAC1, 2, 3 and 10, which can induce tumor-cell apoptosis, suppress cell proliferation and enhance immune surveillance. Low-dose decitabine inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferase, which can increase the expression of tumor antigens and HLA molecules, enhance antigen processing, promote T cell infiltration, and boost effector T cell function. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as effective therapies for many cancers by promoting the reactivation and restoring function of T cells. In conclusion, we speculate that the chemotherapy free regimen of Chidamide, Decitabine and Immune checkpoint inhibitors may explore a new avenue for therapeutic intervention in relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and advanced solid tumors.

Inclusion criteria

1. 16 to 80 years of age.
2. ECOG performance of less than 3.
3. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
4. Histopathological confirmed Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and solid tumors.
5. Patients are relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with ineligible for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
6. The guidelines（ASCO/CSCO）recommend patients to participate in clinical trials.
7. Subjects must have at least one measureable target lesion.
8. Willingness to provide written informed consent for the study.

Exclusion criteria

1. Active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases.
2. Subjects are being treated with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of enrollment.
3. History of severe hypersensitive reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
4. History of allergy or intolerance to study drug components.
5. Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.

7. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including ongoing or active systemic infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia (excluding insignificant sinus bradycardia and sinus tachycardia) or psychiatric illness/social situations and any other illness that would limit compliance with study requirements and jeopardize the safety of the patient.
