About this study

Official title: Randomised Phase 3 Study of Rituximab in High-Risk Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Who Received a First-Line Consolidative Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT).

Rituximab vs observation after high-dose consolidative first-line chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem cell transplantation in poor risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentric, open-label, randomized clinical study, evaluating the efficacy and the safety of Rituximab After ASCT in patients aged 18 to 59 years with previously untreated High-Risk (aa-IPI 2 or 3 ) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma .

The duration of the treatment period is approximately 25 weeks and patients are followed until Death.

From 10/99 to 05/03, 476 patients were enrolled. 235 patients were assigned to receive ACE and 241 to ACVBP. Among the 331 patients, in Complete response (CR+CRu) after induction, who received HDC, 269 were randomized (R2) after hematological recovery to receive either rituximab (n=139) or nothing (n=130).

The final analysis was performed in June 2005.

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

  • ACVBPDrug

  • ACEDrug

  • Autologous stem cell transplantProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. - To compare event-free survival of patients randomized to receive Rituximab or no further therapy after HDT

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. - To compare response rate to induction treatments (ACVBP vs AC/ACE).

  2. - To evaluate response rate at the end of treatment.

  3. - To compare overall survival (ACVBP vs AC/ACE; Rituximab / nothing)

  4. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Rituximab

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ACVBP, ACE and rituximab in people with CD20-Positive Large B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Lymphoma Study Association at 5 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 15 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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. 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?

- To compare event-free survival of patients randomized to receive Rituximab or no further therapy after HDT. 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 NCT00169169, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Sep 2005.
