About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Of Campath-1H In Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Advanced Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as alemtuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well alemtuzumab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate of patients with relapsed or recurrent advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome treated with alemtuzumab.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive alemtuzumab IV over 2 hours three times per week. Treatment continues for up to 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine response rate associated with Campath-1H therapy in patients with relapsed Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome

    Response rate associated with Campath-1H therapy in patients with relapsed Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome will be assessed by medical photograph (skin lesion) measurements or by CT scan for internal lesions upon study entry, weekly while on study, then once when patient goes off study

    Measured: At baseline, weekly while on treatment, then once when patient goes off study

  2. Collect data on toxicity associated with Campath-1H therapy

    Toxicity of this drug will be assessed upon study entry and then every 2 weeks while on therapy by blood tests

    Measured: At baseline and then every 2 weeks while on therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing alemtuzumab 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2019. 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 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?

Determine response rate associated with Campath-1H therapy in patients with relapsed Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome (time frame: At baseline, weekly while on treatment, then once when patient goes off study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Feb 2019.
