About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Study to Assess the Antitumor Effect and Safety of Fludarabine Phosphate Tablet (SH T 586) in Combination With Rituximab Administered in 6 Treatment Cycles (1 Treatment Cycle: Rituximab 375 mg/m2 iv on Day 1 Along With 5-Consecutive Day Oral Dosing of SH T 586 40 mg/m2/Day From Day 1 to Day 5, Followed by an Observation Period of 23 Days) in Patients With Indolent Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor effect and safety of fludarabine phosphate tablet in combination with rituximab in patient with indolent lymphoma.

As of 29 May 2009, the clinical trial sponsor is Genzyme Corporation. NOTE: This study was originally posted by sponsor Schering AG, Germany, which was subsequently renamed to Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Germany.

Being tested
Fludarabine Phosphate (Fludara), Rituximab

What participants receive

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

  • Fludarabine Phosphate (Fludara)Drug

    Also called BAY86-4864

    Injection of rituximab on Day 1 along with 5-consecutive day oral dosing of fludarabine phosphate from Day 1 to Day 5, followed by an observation period from Day 6 to Day 28 as 1 treatment cycle, 6 cycles will be given. As for patients who has been observed with partial response (PR) or better antitumor effect, any treatment shall not be provided in principle until the status comes to progressive disease (PD)

  • RituximabDrug

    Injection of rituximab on Day 1, followed by an observation period from Day 6 to Day 28 as 1 treatment cycle, 6 cycles will be given. As for patients who has been observed with partial response (PR) or better antitumor effect, any treatment shall not be provided in principle until the status comes to progressive disease (PD)

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate

    Measured: The best response until the end of 6th treatment cycle

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. CR rate

    Measured: CR or CRu until the end of 6th treatment cycles

  2. Progression free survival

    Measured: Progression or death which comes earlier, observed until 12 weeks after the completion of the treatment in the last patient

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: Death, observed until 12 weeks after the completion of the treatment in the last patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine Phosphate (Fludara) and Rituximab in people with Lymphoma, Low-Grade, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 8 sites in Japan.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 4 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. 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?

Overall response rate (time frame: The best response until the end of 6th treatment cycle). 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 NCT00311129, 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 4 Dec 2013.
