Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Pilot Study of Short Term (12 Week) Combination Chemotherapy (Stanford V) in Unfavorable Hodgkin's Disease

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the feasibility of short term chemotherapy with the Stanford V regimen (mechlorethamine, doxorubicin, vinblastine, prednisone, vincristine, bleomycin, and etoposide) followed by, as indicated, consolidative radiotherapy in patients with stage IIB, IIIA, IIIB, or IV Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Determine the initial response to 8 weeks of Stanford V chemotherapy in these patients.
  • Assess the complete and partial response rate to 12 weeks of Stanford V chemotherapy in these patients.
  • Determine the acute toxicity associated with this treatment.
  • Determine the disease free interval and survival following Stanford V chemotherapy with or without consolidative radiotherapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: All patients are treated on Regimen A with the Stanford V Regimen; those with initial bulky, residual, or splenic disease who achieve a CR/PR proceed to Regimen B.

  • Regimen A: Patients receive mechlorethamine IV on weeks 1, 5, and 9; doxorubicin and vinblastine IV on weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11; vincristine and bleomycin IV on weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12; etoposide IV over 30-45 minutes for 2 consecutive days on weeks 3, 7, and 11; and prednisone orally every other day on days 1-84. Treatment continues for 8-12 weeks, depending on response, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Regimen B: Patients begin radiotherapy 2-4 weeks after completion of Regimen A. Patients receive radiotherapy to lungs, pleura, and other extralymphatic sites for approximately 5 weeks.

Patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be entered if at least 16 of the first 22 patients respond. As of 03/96, it is expected that a total of 45 patients each with stage III/IV disease and 40 with unfavorable stage II disease will be accrued.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bleomycin sulfate, Stanford V regimen and Doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Lymphoma, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002715, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Aug 2020.
