About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Campath-1H in Patients With Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma (Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effects (good or bad) of Campath-1H antibody in the treatment of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.

Read the detailed description
  • Patients will receive 3 test doses of Campath-1H (3mg, 10mg, 30mg). If the patient tolerates these three test doses, then they will receive a total of 6 weeks of Campath-1H therapy three times a week.
  • After the patient receives the first 6 weeks of therapy at the 30mg therapeutic dose they will be re-assessed by blood testing. If it is determined that their disease has progressed in the period of time while the patient was on Campath-1H, the patient will be removed from the study.
  • If it is determined that the patient has achieved a complete remission after 6 weeks of Campath-1H treatment a bone marrow biopsy will be performed to confirm complete remission and the patient will not receive any additional treatment but will be followed for a period of 2 years.
  • If the disease has remained stable or partial response has been achieved the patient will enter the second phase of therapy in which they will receive an additional 6 weeks of Campath-1H therapy. The patient will then be reassessed as described above.
  • No additional therapy (as part of this study) will be performed after a 12 week course of Campath-1H.
  • While the patient is on Campath-1H blood test will be performed at 3-6 month intervals over a period extending for 2 years following the last treatment. Bone marrow biopsies and/or aspirations will be conducted as necessary.

A Phase 2 study testing Campath-1H in people with Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma and Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 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 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

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?

To determine the effectiveness of Campath-1H in treating patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00142181, 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?
