Clinical trials

The drug is currently in phase I clinical trials.[7] Preliminary phase I results for B-cell malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and B-lineage acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) are being presented at the ASH medical conference Dec 2015.[4]

Phase 2

A separate randomized phase 2 trial started in 2015 to evaluate SGN-CD19A in combination with R-ICE chemotherapy for second-line DLBCL.[4] A phase 2 clinical trial in front-line DLBCL is started in 2016.[4] Both trials were terminated by the Sponsor based on portfolio prioritization.[8][9]
