About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of CC-5103 and Rituximab in Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

The purpose of this study is to determine the number of patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia that will benefit from treatment with CC-5103 (lenalidomide) and rituximab, what the side effects are and how long the benefit will last.

Read the detailed description
  • The study drug CC-5103 (lenalidomide) will be administered orally once daily for 21 days followed by 7 days of no CC-5103 (lenalidomide) (this will be one 28 day treatment cycle). This cycle will repeat itself every 28 days as long as the patient is tolerating the medication and there is no disease progression.
  • Starting on the second week, patients will begin treatment with rituximab intravenously once a week for 4 weeks (week 2-5). Prior to each treatment, patients will receive medications to prevent or reduce the side effects of rituximab (benadryl, tylenol and possible decadron). During the infusion, the patients' blood pressure and pulse will be monitored frequently and the rate of infusion may decrease depending upon the side effects. Blood work will also be performed each week.
  • On week 12 the disease status will be evaluated. A physical exam, blood test, CT scan and bone marrow biopsy may be repeated if necessary to fully evaluate the disease. If the disease has gone away completely, some tests may be repeated again to confirm this.
  • If the disease has gotten worse after 12 weeks, then the patient will be removed from the study.
  • If the disease is stable or getting better, the patient will continue with therapy. During weeks 13-16 rituximab infusions will be repeated and CC-5103 will continue to be taken daily for 21 days followed by 7 days of rest. This 28 day cycle may be repeated until the patient has completed 48 weeks (12 months) of treatment as long as the side effects are acceptable and the disease does not progress.
  • All patients will undergo an off-study evaluation that includes a physical exam, blood work, CT scans and bone marrow biopsy. If the patient completes 78 weeks of therapy and the disease does not get worse, they will be evaluated every 12 weeks to determine the status of their disease for up to 2 years.

What participants receive

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

  • CC-5103 (lenalidomide)Drug

    Also called lenalidomide, Revlimid

    Taken orally once a day for 21 days followed by 7 days of no CC-5103 (lenalidomide)

  • RituximabDrug

    Also called Rituxan

    Begins on week 2 of treatment and is given intravenously once a week for 4 weeks

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CC-5103 (Lenalidomide) and RituximabExperimentalIntended therapy consisted of 48 weeks of CC-5103 (lenalidomide)(25 mg/d for 3 weeks and then 1 week off) along with rituximab (375 mg/m(2)/wk) dosed on weeks 2 to 5 and 13 to 16.
Receives: Drug: CC-5103 (lenalidomide); Drug: Rituximab

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Progression

    Time to progression is measured as the length in time in months from starting therapy until progression, defined as 25% increase in serum IgM from nadir.

    Measured: 34.3 months

  2. Overall Response

    Overall response is the total number of participants who respond to therapy. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) will be defined as having achieved resolution of all symptoms, normalization of their serum IgM levels with complete disappearance of their IgM paraprotein by immunofixation, and resolution of any adenopathy or splenomegaly during any point while in this study and normal bone marrow biopsy. Patients achieving a partial response (PR) and a minor response (MR) will be defined as achieving a > 50% and > 25% reduction in serum IgM levels, respectively, during any point while in this study. Patients with stable disease (SD) will be defined as having < 25% change in serum IgM levels, in the absence of new or increasing adenopathy or splenomegaly and/or other progressive signs or symptoms of WMduring any point while in this study.

    Measured: 34.3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Major Response Rate

    Major response rate is the number of participants who achieve at a PR or better. A PR or better will be defined as achieving a >50% reduction in serum IgM levels.

    Measured: 34.3 months

  2. Minor Response Rate

    A minor response is defined as having achieved >25% but less than 50% reduction in serum IgM levels.

    Measured: 34.3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CC-5103 (lenalidomide) and Rituximab in people with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 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?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 6 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 21 Apr 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2015). 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?

Time to Progression (time frame: 34.3 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00142168, 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 21 Apr 2016.
