or is refractory to standard treatment, or for which no standard treatment is
available. Patients with solid tumors Only: Non-measurable or Measurable disease per
Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (Eisenhauer, 2009)
for solid tumors at Screening.
Phase 1b ONLY
1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL according to the 2016 WHO classification
including: DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS) with or without MYC and BCL2 and/or
BCL6 rearrangements; Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive DLBCL, NOS; HHV8+ DLBCL, NOS;
DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation; and Primary cutaneous DLBCL, leg type, and
Mantle cell lymphoma
2. Relapsed and/or refractory disease to at least two prior standard of care treatments
or tumors for whom standard therapies are not available.
3. 16. Documented tumor mutation status. Archival (preferably collected within 6 months
prior to first dose [C1D1]) FFPE tumor sample must be submitted for determination of
genomic signature by Lantern Pharma's validated laboratory developed test regardless
of whether a local test has been performed for enrollment. The FFPE testing results
are not required for study entry.
Exclusion Criteria All Patients: Phase 1a and Phase 1b
