  • Patients may have had prior CNS irradiation, intrathecal methotrexate, cytarabine or thiotepa for treatment of lymphomatous meningitis but these treatments must have completed at least two weeks before the study enrollment and the patients must have recovered from any reversible toxicity caused by prior treatments
  • Concurrent systemic chemotherapy is allowed with the exception of high-dose methotrexate (>500 mg/m2/day), high-dose cytarabine (>2 g/m2/day), high-dose thiotepa (>300 mg/m2/day) or investigational agents
  • No concurrent intrathecal chemotherapy other than rituximab
  • No severe impairment of bone marrow function (ANC >1.5x109/L, PLT >50x109/L), unless due to proven lymphoma involvement
  • No major impairment of renal function (serum creatinine < 1,5 x upper normal) or liver function (ASAT/ALAT < 2,5 upper normal, total bilirubin <2,5x upper normal), unless due to proven lymphoma involvement
  • No evidence of active opportunistic infections
  • No HIV infection
  • No pregnant or lactating status
  • Appropriate contraceptive method in women of childbearing potential or men
  • Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
  • Absence of a obstructive hydrocephalus or compartimentalization of CSF flow.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing intrathecal rituximab in people with Lymphoma, B Cell, run by International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG).

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 17 inclusion and 0 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety profile of rituximab given intrathecally. 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 30 Mar 2015.
