DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory intermediate, high-grade, or transformed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Received 1-3 prior treatment regimens (cytoreductive chemotherapy followed by high-dose therapy with stem cell support considered 1 regimen) Measurable disease A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Paclitaxel and Estramustine Phosphate in Patients With Relapsed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

RATIONALE: 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.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining paclitaxel and estramustine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, time to treatment failure, and overall survival of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with paclitaxel and estramustine. II. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral estramustine 2-3 times daily on days 1-3 and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on day 2 on weeks 1-6. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for at least 1 course in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete or partial response continue therapy for at least 3 courses or for 1 course after achieving maximum response. Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing estramustine phosphate sodium and paclitaxel in people with Lymphoma, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center at 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 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?
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 10 Jul 2013.
