What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Clinical Response: Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) at Week 24, or, in the Event of Lengthened Cycle Intervals, at the End of Cycle 8.

    Complete response: achievement of a complete regression for >4 weeks of all palpable and x-ray demonstrable disease and bone marrow disease. Partial response: response to therapy with a 75% reduction in the greatest diameters of the measurable lesions for >4 weeks and had indeterminate bone marrow biopsy

    Measured: 24 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of response was defined as the time interval from start of the first response (CR or PR) to the time of documented disease progression.

    Measured: From beginning of response to time of relapse

  2. Time-to-Treatment Failure

    Measured: From start of first treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ONTAK in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Lymphoma, B-cell, run by Eisai Inc. 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 18 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 13 Jul 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Aug 2011). 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?

Objective Clinical Response: Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) at Week 24, or, in the Event of Lengthened Cycle Intervals, at the End of Cycle 8. (time frame: 24 Weeks). 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 13 Jul 2012.
