About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial With Caelyx Mono-Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Mycosis Fungoides Stage IIb, IVa and IVb With or Without Previous Chemotherapy

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal doxorubicin in treating patients who have stage IIB, stage IVA, or stage IVB recurrent or refractory mycosis fungoides.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the antitumor activity of doxorubicin HCl liposome, in terms of response rate (complete response and partial response), in patients with stage IIB, IVA, or IVB recurrent or refractory mycosis fungoides.

Secondary

  • Determine the time to progression and duration of response in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

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

Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or until a maximum cumulative anthracycline(s) dose of 400 mg/m^2 has been reached (including anthracyclines from prior treatment).

Patients are followed every 12 weeks until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 48 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response (complete clinical [CCR] and partial resp. [PR]) rate by Tumor Burden Index for cutaneous disease and appearance or disappearance of lesions for noncutaneous disease every 8 wks during treatment and then every 12 wks until progression

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to progression measured by Tumor Burden Index for cutaneous disease and appearance or disappearance of lesions for noncutaneous disease every 8 weeks during treatment

  2. Duration of response measured by Tumor Burden Index for cutaneous disease and appearance or disappearance of lesions for noncutaneous disease every 8 weeks during treatment and then every 12 weeks until progression

  3. Toxicity assessed by CTC v.2.0 at the end of each course

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Lymphoma, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 11 sites in 6 countries.

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 9 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 11 sites in Germany, Austria, Israel, Italy, Switzerland and 1 more country. 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?

Response (complete clinical [CCR] and partial resp. [PR]) rate by Tumor Burden Index for cutaneous disease and appearance or disappearance of lesions for noncutaneous disease every 8 wks during treatment and then every 12 wks until progression. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00074087, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jul 2018.
