About this study

Official title: A Phase II Multicenter Study of ONTAK in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory, B-Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if the study drug, ONTAK (denileukin diftitox), can shrink or slow the growth of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in patients whose disease has not responded to prior treatments, or has relapsed after an initial response to prior treatments. The safety of treatment with ONTAK will also be studied. The hypothesis is that patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL and mild to moderate myelosuppression treated with ONTAK at a new dosing regimen will respond sufficiently to warrant further study.

What participants receive

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

  • ONTAK (denileukin diftitox)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Response will be evaluated by CT or MRI scans at baseline, every 8 weeks while on therapy, and every 3 months after therapy, using standard response criteria defined by Cheson et al.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety data will include laboratory, history and physical, and adverse events reports for both local and systemic signs or symptoms of study patients. Survival at one year post-therapy will also be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ONTAK (denileukin diftitox) in people with Lymphoma, B-Cell, run by Eisai Inc. at 12 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 19 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Disease Response will be evaluated by CT or MRI scans at baseline, every 8 weeks while on therapy, and every 3 months after therapy, using standard response criteria defined by Cheson et al.. 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 14 Mar 2012.
