About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of O6 Benzylguanine and BCNU in Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of carmustine given together with O(6)-benzylguanine in treating patients with stage I or stage II cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that has not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the kinetics of AGT depletion in CTCL skin lesions. II. To determine the toxicity of low dose BCNU plus O6BG.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of carmustine.

Patients receive O6-benzylguanine IV over 1 hour followed by topical carmustine once every 2 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carmustine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for 6 weeks.

Being tested
O6-benzylguanine, carmustine, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, T-Cell, Cutaneous

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent decrease of AGT in CTCL skin lesions, obtained from tissue samples

    Point and interval estimates of response using the binomial distribution will be obtained using data from patients with measurable or evaluable disease. If responses occur, then the mean and median duration of response will be determined. Statistical significance will be determined using the t test for analysis of continuous data.

    Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks

  2. MTD of carmustine estimated as the dose level which is one level below where >= 2 DLT are observed

    Toxicities will be recorded and tabulated. Additional point and interval estimates for the MTD will be obtained using the methods of logistic regression of the proportion of patients experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity of grade >= 2 and by conventional regression of the mean dose-limiting toxicities on dose level.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing O6-benzylguanine, carmustine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Cutaneous T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Stage I Cutaneous T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent decrease of AGT in CTCL skin lesions, obtained from tissue samples (time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003613, 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 11 Jan 2013.
