Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Risk-Adapted Stanford V-C With Radiotherapy for Clinical Stage I and IIA Favorable Hodgkin's Disease: The G5 Study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase 2 trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with low-dose radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I or stage IIA Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the freedom from progression in patients with stage I or IIA Hodgkin's lymphoma with a favorable prognosis treated with "Stanford V-C" chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vinblastine, prednisone, vincristine, bleomycin, and etoposide with low-dose radiotherapy (RT).
  • Minimize the early and late effects of treatment in these patients by avoiding staging laparotomy and its consequences, limiting cumulative doses of chemotherapy, and reducing the dose of RT to moderately bulky sites of disease.
  • Assess early and late treatment-related toxicity, freedom from second disease progression, and overall survival at 5 and 10 years in patients treated with this regimen.

Participants receive Stanford V-C chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide IV over 30 to 60 minutes weekly on weeks 1 and 5; doxorubicin IV and vinblastine IV over 5 minutes once weekly on weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7; oral prednisone every other day on weeks 1 to 8; vincristine IV, and bleomycin IV over 5 minutes once weekly on weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8; and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 2 of weeks 3 and 7. Prior to protocol amendment, participants were assigned to treatment on the basis of tumor size (< 5 cm vs 5 to 10 cm), with only the participants with larger tumors receiving RT. Beginning 2 to 3 weeks after completion of chemotherapy, participants in the +RT group will receive low-dose radiotherapy 5 days a week for approximately 3 weeks. Subsequent to amendment, all participants received RT.

Participants are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival was assessed for 3 years from the completion of treatment. Progression-free survival was considered to mean the proportion of patients (percentage) still alive without disease recurrence or progression.

    Measured: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Frequency of Complete Response

    The frequency of complete response (CR) is reported as the number (proportion) of subjects in complete response, as assessed during weeks 4 to 5 of chemotherapy. Per protocol, CR is defined as "complete regression of all palpable and radiographic demonstrable disease" by computed tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT).

    Measured: 5 weeks

  2. Early Treatment-related Toxicity

    Early treatment-related toxicity was assessed as the number of treatment-related, non-serious adverse events that occurred during treatment or within 30 days of the completion of treatment.

    Measured: Within 30 days of treatment

  3. Late Treatment-related Toxicity

    Late treatment-related toxicity was assessed as the overall number of late-appearing toxicities (ie, related adverse events, after treatment completion) including but not limited to diagnosis of a 2nd cancer; hypothyroidism; infertility; pulmonary toxicity; or cardiac toxicity, at up to 16 years from date of diagnosis.

    Measured: 16 years

  4. Second Hodgkin's Disease Progression

    Second Hodgkin's disease progression is reported as the number of participants experiencing 2 instances of progression of the underlying Hodgkin's disease, assessed at up to 16 years from date of diagnosis.

    Measured: 16 years

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was assessed at up to 16 years from date of diagnosis, and reported as the median years of survival with standard deviation.

    Measured: 16 years

  6. Survival at 5 and 10 Years

    Survival at 5 and 10 years is expressed at the percentage of subjects known to remain alive at those timepoints.

    Measured: 5 and 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin in people with Lymphoma, Hodgkin Disease and Lymphoma, run by Stanford 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?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 May 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: up to 3 years). 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 24 Jul 2018.
