About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Of PS-341 (VELCADE) In Chemotherapy-Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that is refractory to previous chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the overall response rate in patients with chemotherapy-refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with bortezomib.
  • Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the time to disease progression in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the possible mechanism of resistance to this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 20 days and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-40 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib in people with Lymphoma, run by Jonsson Comprehensive 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?

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 8 Jan 2013. 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?

Overall response rate (combined complete response and partial response). 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 8 Jan 2013.
