About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of CHOP and Campath-1H in Previously Untreated Aggressive T/NK-Cell Lymphomas

Purpose: This study will evaluate the safety of CHOP plus Alemtuzumab in patients with T/NK cell lymphomas and CD-20 negative large B-cell lymphomas who have not had previous treatments. The biological response of lymphoma cells and the immune system to this drug combination will also be measured in patients before, during, and after therapy administration.

Read the detailed description

Rationale: The drug combination called CHOP, or Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), Vincristine (Oncovin), and Prednisone (Deltasone), has been used against different types of lymphoma for many years. Researchers are investigating what other therapies to combine with the CHOP regimen to improve outcomes for patients with lymphoma. The current study combines CHOP with alemtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody used against leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of immunotherapy used against some types of cancer. They are produced in a laboratory and designed to target as well as bind with cells that carry specific proteins. Alemtuzumab is designed to target leukemia cells that express a specific protein. The specific protein recognized by alemtuzumab is the CD52 antigen. This antigen, or substance that causes the immune system to create a specific response, is expressed on normal B and T cells, as well as on abnormal T cells characteristic of certain cancers. Alemtuzumab causes the CD52 antigen to bind with B-cell lymphocytes. This study will also assess the theory that alemtuzumab may increase the effectiveness of the chemotherapy agents included in the CHOP regimen.

Treatment: Patients in this study will receive alemtuzumab and CHOP. Alemtuzumab will be given through injections into the skin and CHOP will be administered through intravenous infusions. Patients will receive alemtuzumab alone during the first week of the study. An increasing amount of alemtuzumab will be given during the first week. If patients cannot tolerate the highest amount of alemtuzumab determined as appropriate within one week, they will be removed from the study. Once the highest dose of alemtuzumab has been achieved, patients will then receive both alemtuzumab and CHOP every three weeks. This schedule will be repeated up to eight times. Several tests and exams will be given throughout the study to closely monitor patients. Treatments will be discontinued due to disease growth or unacceptable side effects.

What participants receive

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

  • CHOPDrug

    Also called cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone

    CHOP will be given 60-120 minutes following SQ administration of Alemtuzumab as follows: cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 IV on day 1, doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 IV on day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum dose = 2 mg) IV on day 1, and prednisone 100 mg PO on days 1-5.

  • AlemtuzumabDrug

    Also called Humanized monoclonal antibody

    Single agent Alemtuzumab given subcutaneously (SQ) on week #1. Dose escalation will occur during the first week of therapy, starting with 3 mg of Alemtuzumab administered SQ on day 1. If well tolerated, this will be followed by 10 mg SQ on day 3 and 30 mg (split into 2 injection sites) on day 5.

  • Plasma SamplesProcedure or surgery

    Also called Pharmacokinetics, Correlative Studies

    Plasma samples will be obtained for Alemtuzumab pharmacokinetics (PK) during the first week of single agent Alemtuzumab stepped up dosing and subsequently before and after the 5th and the 8th Alemtuzumab/CHOP dose.

If well tolerated, this will be followed by 10 mg SQ on day 3 and 30 mg (split into 2 injection sites) on day 5.

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity and safety of concurrent CHOP and Alemtuzumab

    Measured: up to five years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine pharmacokinetics of Alemtuzumab

    Measured: up to five years

  2. Determine immunosuppressive properties of Alemtuzumab + CHOP

    Measured: up to five years

  3. Determine if Fc Receptor-gamma (FcγR) polymorphism is predictive of response or toxicity with Alemtuzumab treatment.

    Measured: up to five years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CHOP, Alemtuzumab and Plasma Samples in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 20 Jan 2017. 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 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 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?

Toxicity and safety of concurrent CHOP and Alemtuzumab (time frame: up to five years). 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 20 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
