About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Deoxycoformycin (DCF) in Lymphoid Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to determine the side effects and antitumor response of patients with lymphoid malignancies to Deoxycoformycin (DCF)/Pentostatin.

Read the detailed description

Deoxycoformycin(DCF)/Pentostatin is a T-cell cytotoxic drug with previously reported responses in lymphoid malignancies but larger studies are needed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Deoxycoformycin (DCF)Drug

    Also called Nipent, Pentostatin

    Patients received Deoxycoformycin (DCF)/Pentostatin administered by intravenous bolus daily over a consecutive 3-day period. This course was repeated at 3-week intervals.

    Overall responses (OR) of participants with lymphoid malignancies to Deoxycoformycin (DCF)/Pentostatin defined as Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR).

    Measured: Baseline and approximately every 3 weeks thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Deoxycoformycin (DCF) in people with Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma and Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2018. 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Overall Response (time frame: Baseline and approximately every 3 weeks thereafter). 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 16 Nov 2018.
