About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Mabthera (Rituximab) in Children and Adolescents With Relapsed and Refractory B-Cell NHL/L3ALL

This is a multicentric phase II study of Mabthera (rituximab) in children and adolescents with relapsed and refractory B-cell NHL/L3ALL. The primary objective is to determine the response rate of Rituximab as single agent in relapsed or refractory Burkitt lymphoma, L3 acute leukemia, large B-cell lymphoma and non subclassified aggressive B-cell NHL

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentric phase II study of Mabthera (rituximab) in children and adolescents with relapsed and refractory B-cell NHL/L3ALL. The primary objective is to determine the response rate of Rituximab as single agent in relapsed or refractory Burkitt lymphoma, L3 acute leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and non subclassified aggressive B-cell NHL. The secondary objectives are to assess the toxicity profile of Rituximab in children and adolescents as single agent, and when followed by chemotherapy, to study pharmacokinetics of Rituximab in serum and in CSF and to determine the overall duration of response, time to progression and survival in patients responders to antiCD20 initially alone and followed by chemotherapy.

Patients will receive Rituximab (Mabthera) at 375 mg/m2, once a week during 4 weeks, administered in IV infusion starting at 50mg/h and increasing by steps of 50 mg/h every 30mn until the speed of 400 mg/h. Patients with combined CNS relapse will receive an intrathecal injection of MTX+HC+Ara-C 48 h after each injection of rituximab First assessment will be done prior to receiving the 3rd course of rituximab. Responding patients (CR, PR) and patients with objective effect (OE) will receive the 3rd and 4th injections of rituximab before starting the salvage chemotherapy (COPADM, CYVE/CC course or ICE, depending on previous chemotherapy regimen received by the patient, followed by HDCT+ hematopoietic stem cell rescue). A second evaluation will be done after the 4th course if performed.

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. Rate of patients achieving at least objective response after 2 courses of rituximab

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of objective response after 4 courses of rituximab

  2. Rate of initially responding patients who progressed during the second phase of treatment

  3. Toxicity

  4. Pharmacokinetic evaluation in serum and CSF

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab in people with Burkitt Lymphoma, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 1 site 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2006. 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 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 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 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?

Rate of patients achieving at least objective response after 2 courses of rituximab. 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 11 Sep 2006.
