About this study

Official title: Rituximab Plus High-Dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Support for Poor-Prognosis Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This study is being conducted to determine the safety, side effects, and response to a combination of an established high-dose chemotherapy regimen, stem cell support and Rituximab (which is a form of immunotherapy).

Read the detailed description

Combination chemotherapy is the standard treatment as initial therapy for aggressive NHL. Standard chemotherapy cures less than 40% of patients. High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell support (or transplant) is showing some positive results in patients with NHL that fail standard chemotherapy. The cure rate of this treatment is only about 50%.

Another treatment option called immunotherapy is being tested in lymphoma patients to see if adding immunotherapy to NHL treatments improves results. Rituximab, a form of immunotherapy, is an antibody (a type of protein) that attacks the CD20 protein found on lymphoma cell, which may result in the death of the lymphoma cell.

The study design is as follows: Patients with poor prognosis NHL receive rituximab as part of the peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization process and as part of the preparative regimen in combination with high-dose chemotherapy. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) are collected and stored. After recovery from high-dose cyclophosphamide, patients are admitted to the hospital for transplant. The preparative regimen consists of rituximab, followed by high-dose chemotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess progression-free survival after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous PBPC support;

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess overall survival (OS) after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with PBPC support.

  2. Assess safety and toxicity after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy.

  3. Assess CD20 recovery post-transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2008. 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 was stopped early (reason given: enrollment completed). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Assess progression-free survival after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous PBPC support;. 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 10 Jan 2008.
