In plain English
This early-stage (Phase 1/2) study is testing a new medicine called STP938 (also known as Dencatistat) in adults whose B-cell or T-cell lymphoma has come back or has not responded to treatment. It is run by Step Pharma, SAS.
Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 or over
- Lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment, confirmed by tissue testing
- Have had at least 2 previous whole-body (systemic) treatments with no other options known to help
- Have lymphoma that can be measured on scans or tests (with a special skin-based measure for a type that affects the skin)
- Fairly well day-to-day (performance status score of 2 or less on a scale used by doctors)
- Expected to live more than 3 months, in the doctor's view
- Good working bone marrow, liver, kidneys and blood clotting
- Side effects from earlier cancer treatment must have mostly cleared up (except hair loss), and written agreement (consent) to take part
Who may not be able to
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and people not willing to follow contraception rules
- Lymphoma in the brain or spinal cord fluid
- Another cancer within the last 2 years
- Radiotherapy or surgery for lymphoma less than 2 weeks before the first dose, or with no other measurable disease outside the treated area
- Cancer treatment, antibody therapy or experimental drugs within 4 weeks before joining (or less than 5 half-lives, if shorter)
- Serious uncontrolled other illness
- Weakened immune system or an opportunistic infection in the last 12 months
- Active or long-term hepatitis B, or active hepatitis C
- A live vaccine within 30 days before joining or during the study
- A heart tracing (electrocardiogram, or ECG) showing a corrected QT interval over 470 milliseconds
- A COVID-19 vaccine within 3 weeks before the first dose

About This Trial
The Phase 1 part of the study is a dose escalation of STP938 as monotherapy. The Phase 2 part of the study is cohort expansion of STP938 as a monotherapy in 5 different B and T cell lymphomas.
More detail
The drug STP938 is an inhibitor of an enzyme called cytidine triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1). CTPS1, and a very similar enzyme cytidine triphosphate synthase 2 (CTPS2), control the final step in the production of the cytidine triphosphate (CTP). CTP is an essential building block of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Studies of people with inherited mutations of the CTPS1 gene indicate that certain types of blood cells required CTPS1 in order to divide rapidly, whereas other cells in the body use the CTPS2 enzyme. Based on these observations, it is expected that blocking CTPS1, using the drug STP938, may be an effective treatment for certain types of cancer that arise from blood cells. The purpose of this study is to see if STP938 is effective at treating different types of lymphoma. STP938 will be given as a tablet. Blood samples will be taken during the study in order to understand the effects of STP938 on the lymphoma and on the rest of the body. The main outcome of the first part of the study is to see if STP938 can be given safely to patients with lymphoma, and to work out the best dose of STP938. The main outcome of the second part of the study is to see if ST938 is effective in treating different types of lymphoma.
