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.

About this study

Official title: Oral Combination Chemotherapy in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated 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 with lomustine, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and procarbazine in treating patients with stage IIB, stage III, or stage IV AIDS-related Hodgkin's disease.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the objective response rate, response duration, and survival of patients receiving lomustine/etoposide/cyclophosphamide/procarbazine (CECP) for stage IIB-IV AIDS-related Hodgkin's disease.
  • Assess the feasibility and toxic effects of CECP in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral lomustine on day 1, oral etoposide on days 1-3, and oral cyclophosphamide and procarbazine on days 22-31. Filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) is given subcutaneously on days 5-21 and 33-42. The course is repeated every 6 weeks.

Patients with a complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses, but lomustine is omitted in the second course. Patients with partial response or stable disease receive radiation therapy and/or continued chemotherapy. Patients failing to respond after 1 course are removed from the study.

Patients will be followed every 3 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 16 evaluable patients will be accrued.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • filgrastimBiological

    Filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) is given subcutaneously on days 5-21 and 33-42.The course is repeated every 6 weeks. A complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses, but lomustine is omitted in the second course.

  • cyclophosphamideDrug

    Oral cyclophosphamide on days 22-31. The course is repeated every 6 weeks. A complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses, but lomustine is omitted in the second course.

  • etoposideDrug

    Oral etoposide on days 1-3. The course is repeated every 6 weeks. A complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses, but lomustine is omitted in the second course.

  • lomustineDrug

    Patients receive oral lomustine on day 1.

  • procarbazine hydrochlorideDrug

    Oral and procarbazine on days 22-31. The course is repeated every 6 weeks. A complete or partial response after 1 course of treatment receive two additional courses, but lomustine is omitted in the second course.

  • radiation therapyRadiation

    Patients with partial response or stable disease receive radiation therapy and/or continued chemotherapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the objective response rate, response duration, and survival of patients receiving lomustine/etoposide/cyclophosphamide/procarbazine (CECP) for stage IIB-IV AIDS-related Hodgkin's disease.

    Measured: The course is repeated every 6 weeks. Patients will be followed every 3 months until death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in people with Lymphoma, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the objective response rate, response duration, and survival of patients receiving lomustine/etoposide/cyclophosphamide/procarbazine (CECP) for stage IIB-IV AIDS-related Hodgkin's disease. (time frame: The course is repeated every 6 weeks. Patients will be followed every 3 months until death.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jun 2010.
