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 two combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with Hodgkin's disease and HIV… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Non Randomized Study With Chemotherapy in Patients With Hodgkin's Disease and HIV Infection: "Stanford V Regimen" For "Low Risk" Patients, "EBVP Regimen" For "High Risk" Patients

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 two combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with Hodgkin's disease and HIV infection.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Investigate the effects on survival, life expectancy and quality, toxicity, and immunological status in low risk patients with Hodgkin's Disease and HIV infection treated with the Stanford V regimen and in high risk patients treated with epirubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and prednisone.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified into 2 groups designated as low and high risk on the basis of ECOG performance status (0-2 vs 3-4), presence or absence of AIDS before the diagnosis of Hodgkin's Disease, and immune status (CD4+ cell count greater vs no greater than 100/mm^3).

  • Low risk patients (those with no risk factors) receive the EBVP regimen, as follows:
  • Epirubicin intravenously on day 1
  • Bleomycin intramuscularly or intravenously on day 1
  • Vinblastine intravenously on day 1
  • Prednisone orally on days 1-5
  • Patients also receive daily injections of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF) on days 6-15. This schedule is repeated every 3 weeks for 6 courses.
  • High risk patients (those with one or more risk factors) receive the Stanford V regimen, as follows:
  • Doxorubicin and vinblastine intravenously on days 1 and 15
  • Mechlorethamine intravenously on day 1
  • Vincristine and bleomycin intravenously on days 8 and 22
  • Etoposide intravenously on days 15 and 16
  • Prednisone orally daily
  • Patients also receive daily injections of G-CSF on days 3-7, 9-13, 17-21, and 23-26. This schedule is repeated every 28 days for 3 courses.

Patients are followed every 2 months the first year and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 20-30 patients will initially be accrued in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bleomycin sulfate, filgrastim and Stanford V regimen in people with Lymphoma, run by Centro di Riferimento Oncologico - Aviano at 1 site in Italy.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2013. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 NCT00003262, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Sep 2013.
