A Phase 1 Study of SB1518 for the Treatment of Advanced Lymphoid Malignancies

This is a Phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of SB1518 when given alone once daily by mouth to subjects with advanced lymphoid malignancies.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects with histologically documented diagnosis of a lymphoid malignancy as defined in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification scheme except for those listed in Exclusion Criteria
• Subject must have received at least 2 prior regimens for their lymphoid malignancy, one of which was an anthracycline-containing combination regimen and have shown disease relapse or did not respond to the prior regimen
• Subjects with classic HL or diffuse large B cell lymphoma must have failed, refused or are ineligible to receive stem cell transplant
• Subjects must have measurable lesions (at least one target lesion measuring 2cm in diameter) by computerized tomography (CT) scan
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
• All men of reproductive potential and women of child-bearing potential must agree to practice effective contraception during the entire study period and for one month after the last study treatment unless documentation of infertility exists. Additionally, women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug
• Able to understand and willing to sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

• Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD), Burkitt's lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, multiple myeloma, or HIV-associated lymphoma

• Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements as judged by treating physician. Subjects receiving antibiotics for infections that are under control may be included in the study
• Concurrent malignancy, except those subjects with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia are eligible for the study
• Known HIV-positive (such subjects are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with potentially marrow-suppressive therapy)
• Known active Hepatitis A, B or C
