About this study

Official title: Rituximab Plus High-dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Support for 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, plus the addition of Rituximab (which is a form of immunotherapy).

Read the detailed description

Combination chemotherapy is the standard treatment as initial therapy for advanced stage aggressive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Standard chemotherapy cures less than 40% of patients. When patients relapse, they may be eligible to receive high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support. Multiple studies have shown the value of high-dose chemotherapy, with increased disease-free survival and overall survival, when compared with second-line conventional chemotherapy. Unfortunately high-dose chemotherapy is curative in less than half the patients who receive it, and other treatment strategies are needed to improve the cure rate.

Another treatment option called immunotherapy is being tested in lymphoma patients. Immunotherapy involves attempts to use the immune system or products of the immune system to fight lymphoma. For example, NHL cells have a protein called CD20 on their surface. Rituximab is an antibody directed against the CD20 protein, which may result in the death of the lymphoma cell. Patients in this study will receive Rituximab to see if it is a safe treatment option for NHL patients.

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 safety and toxicity after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess CD20 depletion in leukapheresis products after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy, and monitor CD20 recovery post-transplant

  2. Assess the response rate after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) support, for patients with relapsed CD20+ Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)

  3. Assess progression-free and overall survival after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with PBPC support

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 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2012. 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 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?

Assess safety and toxicity after rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy. 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 1 Feb 2012.
