About this study

Official title: A Multicentre Phase II Study of Risk-adjusted Outpatient-based Salvage Therapy for Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Lymphoma

This is a Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy (overall response rate) of a risk-adjusted outpatient based approach to lymphoma salvage therapy with vinorelbine, gemcitabine and pegfilgrastim and/or gemcitabine, ifosfamide, vinorelbine and pegfilgrastim.

Read the detailed description

Lymphoma has been increasing in incidence annually for the past several decades and the majority of patients relapse after first line therapy. A variety of 'salvage chemotherapy' treatments are available that are usually inpatient-based treatments associated with significant haematological toxicity. Furthermore, all patients are treated in the same manner despite the fact that some patients will do well irrespective of the type of salvage therapy whereas others will do badly no matter what is done. During 2001-2002 we undertook a pilot study in 40 such patients using an outpatient-based salvage therapy with 2 newer chemotherapy drugs, vinorelbine and gemcitabine. Over 75% of all treatments were successfully delivered on an outpatient basis with response rates similar to historical controls. We now propose to expand on these initial findings by modifying the outpatient approach for those patients with less favourable prognostic features, that is, patients will be stratified to differing therapies but with the majority still receiving the proven vinorelbine-gemcitabine combination.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy (overall response rate) of a risk-adjusted outpatient-based approach to lymphoma salvage therapy with VGF (vinorelbine, gemcitabine and pegfilgrastim) and/or F-GIV (gemcitabine, Ifosfamide, vinorelbine and pegfilgrastim).

    Measured: After two cycles and after four cycles

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To evaluate safety,

    Measured: Days 1 and 8 for every cycle, days 10,12,14, and 16 for first cycle.

  2. relapse free survival,

    Measured: After 2 cycles, 4 cyles and every 3 or 4 months for 12 months. Then every 6 months until disease progression

  3. overall survival,

    Measured: every 3 or 4 months for 12 months. Then every 6 months.

  4. and planned dose-on-time.

    Measured: After two cycles and after four cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine, vinorelbine, ifosfamide, filgastrim and gemcitabine, vinorelbine, filgastrim in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Hodgkin's Disease, run by Bayside Health at 10 sites in Australia.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Australia. 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 evaluate the efficacy (overall response rate) of a risk-adjusted outpatient-based approach to lymphoma salvage therapy with VGF (vinorelbine, gemcitabine and pegfilgrastim) and/or F-GIV (gemcitabine, Ifosfamide, vinorelbine and pegfilgrastim). (time frame: After two cycles and after four cycles). 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 8 Jan 2016.
