About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Subcutaneous Injections of Interleukin-2 for the Treatment of Mycosis Fungoides or the Sezary Syndrome

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill lymphoma cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients who have mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome treated with interleukin-2 (IL-2).
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive interleukin-2 subcutaneously for 4 consecutive days a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve complete response or stable disease continue treatment for 2 courses past best response. Patients who demonstrate a persistent partial response continue treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing aldesleukin in people with Lymphoma, run by Northwestern University at 2 sites 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Low/inadequate rate of accrual.). 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?
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 6 Jun 2012.
