Trial summary

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as lenalidomide use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CC-5013 Alone or in Combination With Rituximab in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as lenalidomide use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining lenalidomide with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the how well giving lenalidomide with or without rituximab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the best cytostatic response rate (including complete response, partial response, or stable disease) in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with lenalidomide (CC-5013).

Secondary

  • Determine the cytostatic response rate in patients who progress on CC-5013 and are then treated with CC-5013 and rituximab.
  • Determine the safety of these regimens in these patients.
  • Determine time to progression in patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, non-randomized, pilot study.

Patients receive oral lenalidomide (CC-5013) once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses beyond CR.

Patients with disease progression receive oral CC-5013 once daily on days 1-21 and rituximab IV on days 1, 8, and 15 during the first treatment course and on days 1 and 15 of all subsequent courses. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of further disease progression. Patients who achieve CR receive 2 additional courses beyond CR.

Patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients Achieving a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) on Single Agent CC-5013 at 6 Months

    Percentage of patients achieving CR, PR or maintaining SD using the 1996 NCI-WF Criteria. CR: absence of lymph nodes and constitutional symptoms; no hepatomegaly or splenomegaly by physical examination; neutrophil count >1500/μL; platelet count >100,000/μL; untransfused hemoglobin concentration >11.0g/dL; lymphocyte count <4000/μL; bone marrow sample must be at least normocellular for age; with less than 30% of nucleated cells being lymphocytes and no lymphoid nodules. PR: ≥50% decrease in lymphocyte count from baseline; ≥50% reduction in lymph nodes from baseline; ≥50% reduction in the size of the liver/spleen from baseline; neutrophil count ≥1500/μL or ≥50% improvement from baseline; platelet count ≥100,000/μL or ≥50% improvement from baseline; untransfused hemoglobin concentration ≥11.0g/dL or ≥50% improvement from baseline. Patients have not exhibited as reappearance of malignant CLL clone on flow cytometry or by PCR analysis in blood or bone marrow, are considered to have SD.

    Measured: at 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (5)

    Percentage of patients achieving CR, PR or maintaining SD using the 1996 NCI-WF Criteria. CR: absence of lymph nodes and constitutional symptoms; no hepatomegaly or splenomegaly by physical examination; neutrophil count >1500/μL; platelet count >100,000/μL; untransfused hemoglobin concentration >11.0g/dL; lymphocyte count <4000/μL; bone marrow sample must be at least normocellular for age; with less than 30% of nucleated cells being lymphocytes and no lymphoid nodules. PR: ≥50% decrease in lymphocyte count from baseline; ≥50% reduction in lymph nodes from baseline; ≥50% reduction in the size of the liver/spleen from baseline; neutrophil count ≥1500/μL or ≥50% improvement from baseline; platelet count ≥100,000/μL or ≥50% improvement from baseline; untransfused hemoglobin concentration ≥11.0g/dL or ≥50% improvement from baseline. Patients who have not exhibited as reappearance of malignant CLL clone on flow cytometry or by PCR analysis in blood or bone marrow, are considered to have SD.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events on Single Agent CC-5013

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events on Single Agent CC-5013, Graded According to NCI CTCAE Version 3.0

    Please refer to the adverse event reporting for more detail.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events on Combination Therapy of CC-5013+Rituximab

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events on Combination Therapy of CC-5013+Rituximab, Graded According to NCI CTCAE Version 3.0

    Measured: Up to 30 days from last date of institution of combination therapy of CC-5013+Rituximab.

  4. Time to Progression for Single Agent CC-5013

    Progressive disease is defined as reappearance of malignant CLL clone on flow cytometry or by PCR analysis in blood or bone marrow using the 1996 NCI-WF Criteria.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Time to Progression for the Combination Therapy of CC-5013+Rituximab

    Progressive disease is defined as reappearance of malignant CLL clone on flow cytometry or by PCR analysis in blood or bone marrow using the 1996 NCI-WF Criteria.

    Measured: Every month up to 6 months and every 3 months thereafter up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rituximab and lenalidomide in people with Leukemia, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 11 Jul 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2017). 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?

Percentage of Patients Achieving a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) on Single Agent CC-5013 at 6 Months (time frame: at 6 Months). 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 11 Jul 2017.
