Who may be able to join

  • Seropositive for HIV by any approved test (prior documentation of HIV seropositivity is acceptable).
  • Failed or relapsed after at least 1 prior chemotherapy treatment (chemotx) regimen but could have had no more than 2 prior chemotx regimens with only one of them being an anthracycline-containing regimen. Prior treatment (tx) with rituximab allowed.

  • Karnofsky performance status greater than 50%
  • Absolute granulocyte count (AGC) greater than 1.0; platelets greater than 75,000; hemoglobin (Hgb) greater than 8.0 (unless these parameters are abnormal secondary to lymphomatous involvement of marrow, or due to HIV-related thrombocytopenia).
  • Bilirubin less than 2.0 (unless elevated secondary to lymphomatous involvement of liver or biliary system or due to other HIV-related medications such as Crixivan).
  • Creatinine less than 2.5 or creatinine clearance greater than 60 ml/min
  • Multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or 2D echocardiogram indicating left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to 50% within 42 days prior to first dose of study drug.
  • Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement are eligible provided that systemic lymphomatous disease is also present.
  • Concurrent therapy for HIV with any licensed agent or an agent available on an expanded access program will be required.
  • Signed informed consent including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) authorization.

Who cannot join

  • Acute intercurrent infection that may interfere with planned protocol. Patients with mycobacterium avium are not excluded. Chronic therapy with potentially myelosuppressive agents is allowed provided that entry hematologic criteria are met.
  • Second active tumor. Patients with non-melanomatous skin cancer, in-situ cervical cancer, or Kaposi's sarcoma, not requiring systemic chemotherapy may be entered on study.
  • Primary CNS lymphoma.
  • Documented history of congestive heart failure (CHF), hemodynamically unstable arrhythmia, myocardial infarction (MI) in the preceding 6 months, or evidence on electrocardiogram (EKG) of untreated cardiac ischemia.
  • Prior exposure to a liposomal anthracycline (liposomal doxorubicin or daunorubicin) for the treatment of lymphoma. Prior exposure to conventional doxorubicin allowed.
  • Prior radiation therapy within 4 weeks, unless for emergency conditions secondary to lymphoma (i.e., CNS tumor, cord compression)
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Prior systemic chemotherapy or biologic therapy within 3 weeks
  • History of hypersensitivity reaction to anthracyclines or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
  • History of hypersensitivity reactions attributed to a conventional formulation of doxorubicin hydrochloride (HCl)
  • Investigational agent(s) within 4 weeks of start of study therapy.
  • History of cardiac disease with New York Heart Association (NYHA) greater than or equal to Class II, or clinical evidence of CHF

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil) and Rituximab in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Burkitt Lymphoma, run by University of Southern California 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 14 inclusion and 12 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 22 May 2014. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient Accrual). 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.

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 22 May 2014.
