About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Brief Duration Combination Chemotherapy and Rituximab With Prophylactic Pegfilgrastim, Followed by Maintenance Rituximab, in Elderly/Poor Performance Status Patients With Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

The purposes of this trial are to decrease toxicity and improve treatment effectiveness elderly patients. With a short course of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, vincristine, and prednisone with concurrent administration of rituximab it is likely to be as effective as longer programs, and will certainly be better tolerated by this patient group. The addition of maintenance therapy may result in substantial prolongation of remission duration.

Read the detailed description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will receive:

  • Cyclophosphamide + Mitoxantrone + Vincristine + Prednisone + Rituximab

Patients that are not considered candidates for anthracycline therapy will not receive mitoxantrone. Patients with objective response (partial or complete response) or stable disease will receive Rituximab maintenance therapy.

Being tested
Cyclophosphamide, Mitoxantrone, Vincristine, Prednisone, Rituximab
Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00193479
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cyclophosphamide/Vincristine/Rituximab +/- MitoxantroneExperimentalAll patients receive three courses of combination chemotherapy/rituximab followed by pegfilgrastim, administered at 21-day intervals. Treatment administered is as follows: cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2 IV day 1; mitoxantrone 10mg/m2 IV day 1; vincristine 1.0mg/m2 (maximum 2mg) IV day 1; prednisone 80mg PO days 1 - 5; rituximab 375mg/m2 IV day 1.
Receives: Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: Mitoxantrone; Drug: Vincristine; Drug: Prednisone; Drug: Rituximab

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 18 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cyclophosphamide, Mitoxantrone and Vincristine in people with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 3 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment (time frame: 18 Months). 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 NCT00193479, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Mar 2022.
