A Phase 1/2 Open-Label Multicenter Study of Avadomide (CC-122) in Combination With R-CHOP-21 for Previously Untreated Poor Risk (IPI>=3) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
This is Phase 1/2 study of avadomide (CC-122) in combination with rituximab,
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy, for
first-line treatment of patients with Diffuse B-Cell Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) that has
poor risk factors. Approximately 40% of patients diagnosed with DLBCL are not cured with
R-CHOP alone and would need additional treatment for DLBCL in the future. The addition of the
experimental drug avadomide (CC-122) with R-CHOP could help in controlling DLBCL in this
patient population.

experimental drug avadomide (CC-122) with R-CHOP could help in controlling DLBCL in this
patient population.
This research study is for patients who have been newly diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma DLBCL and are receiving treatment for the first time.
This study will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 will test the safety of increasing dose
levels of avadomide (CC-122) when given in combination with R-CHOP-21 therapy to identify an
appropriate dose and schedule for further evaluation in Phase 2. Phase 2 will evaluate the
rate of complete response when adding avadomide (CC-122) to the R-CHOP-21 regimen in
first-line treatment of patients with poor risk DLBCL.
This study is separated into three periods: the Screening period, the Treatment period and
the Follow-up period. Before the patient can receive the drug the doctor will perform test to
find out whether he/she can participate in the study. This is done during the Screening
period. If the patient and the treating physician determine that the patient is eligible to
participate in the study, the patient will be registered in the study and receive avadomide
(CC-122) combined with R-CHOP.
In the Treatment period the patient will receive treatment for up to 6 treatment cycles. Each
treatment cycle is 21 days long. The full length of the treatment period will be
approximately 4 months.
The follow-up period begins when the patient has completed treatment or is discontinued for
any reason. During the follow-up period the patient will have fewer exams, test and visits.
The first follow-up visit will be 28 days after treatment is completed or discontinued. After
that, the follow-up visits will be every 3 months during the first year, then every 6 months
until the study is closed.

Investigator assessment) for induction therapy with 6 cycles of R-CHOP-21
immunochemotherapy.
4. Subject has a performance status (PS) of 0-2 according to the Eastern Cooperative
Oncology Group (ECOG) scale. Subjects with ECOG PS of 3 may be included if decreased
PS is secondary to DLBCL only, and not to comorbidities.
5. Subject has poor-risk disease defined as International Prognostic Index (IPI) score
≥ 3 (high-intermediate or high-risk classification) and has an age-adjusted IPI
defined as ≤ 60 age-adjusted IPI score of 2 with elevated LDH are eligible.
6. Subject has measurable disease on cross-sectional imaging by computed tomography
(CT) with at least one (post-biopsy) measurable lesion ≥ 2.0 cm in its longest
dimension.
7. Subject must appropriately be able to complete Screening assessments before
beginning treatment for DLBCL, in the judgement of the Investigator.
For subjects with bulky disease, B-symptoms, compressive disease, elevated bilirubin
due to lymphoma, rapidly progressing adenopathies, or worsening performance status,
pre-phase treatment with up to 100 mg/day prednisone, or equivalent, for a maximum of
10 days is permitted prior to beginning the treatment period, at the discretion of the
Investigator. A washout period is not required, however, the Screening positron
emission tomography (PET), CT, tumor biopsy (if needed), and bone marrow biopsy (if
needed) should be completed before initiating corticosteroids.
8. Subject's central laboratory values must fulfill the following requirements during
Screening: Blood product transfusions and hematopoietic growth factors may not be used
to meet eligibility criteria. Screening samples should not be collected within 14 days
after subject receives a blood product transfusion or growth factors.
If treatment needs to be urgently started and screening central laboratory results are
not available then local laboratory results may be used to confirm eligibility. In
these cases, the Celgene medical monitor must be consulted prior to beginning
treatment. The investigator must still ensure that samples for the central laboratory
are drawn before investigational product is administered and sent to the central
laboratory.
1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3 (1.5 x 109/L) unless secondary to

100 pg/mL are eligible but must have a cardiologist evaluation prior to
enrollment in the trial for baseline assessment and optimization of
cardioprotective therapy.
If troponin-T is not usually tested by local laboratory then troponin-I may be
used to confirm subject meets the Screening eligibility criteria. The central
laboratory sample must still be collected prior to first dose and sent to central
laboratory. Elevated cut-off value for troponin I will depend on the assay used
at the site. If baseline troponin I >ULN, the subject must have a cardiologist
consultation prior to enrollment and optimization of cardioprotective therapy.
In case of discrepancy between both troponin-I and troponin-T test, the
troponin-T test will be repeated.
