  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Pathological diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma of one of following histologies as per the REAL classification: peripheral T-cell lymphoma (unspecified), anaplastic large cell lymphoma CD30+, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, nasal/nasal type T/NK cell lymphoma, intestinal T-cell lymphoma, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitic T-cell lymphoma.
  • Treatment naive except for prior radiation or a single cycle of CHOP.
  • Patients must have at least one clear-cut bidimensionally measurable site by physical exam and/or computed tomography. Baseline measurements of measurable sites and evaluation of evaluable disease must be obtained within 4 weeks prior to registration to this study.
  • Prior radiation therapy for localized disease is allowed as long as the irradiated area is not at the mediastinal area or at the only site of measurable disease. Therapy must be completed at least 4 weeks before the enrollment in study.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with diagnosis of Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome
  • Patients with active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection.
  • Patients with known HIV infection are excluded. These patients are excluded because the potential to target activated T-cells, in a population of patients already at risk for T-cell depletion, would be a contraindication to therapy. HIV testing is not required.
  • Patients with active infections requiring specific anti-infective therapy are not eligible until all signs of infections are resolved and any continuing treatment is given on an outpatient basis.
  • Patients with previous anthracycline therapy (cumulative dose of > 100 mg/m2).
  • Patients with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) < 50%.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding. These patients are excluded because the effects of this treatment on the fetus and young children are unknown.
  • Prior invasive malignancies within past 5 years.
  • Allergic to or history of allergy to diphtheria toxin or IL-2.
  • Preexisting severe cardiovascular disease (e.g. CHF, Severe CAD, cardiomyopathy, MI within past 3 months, arrhythmia) requiring ongoing treatment.
  • Ongoing antineoplastic chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal (excluding contraceptives) or immunotherapy, or investigational medications within past 30 days.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Phase II Study to Determine the Safety of the Combination of ONTAK (DAB389IL-2), an Interleukin-2 Fusion Toxin, in Combination With CHOP in Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

The standard treatment for PTCL is CHOP (cyclophosphamide (C), adriamycin (H), vincristine (O), and prednisone (P)) chemotherapy. This study is attempting to determine whether adding other treatments to CHOP therapy will improve the chance of the disease going into remission or staying in remission. Because other drugs for T-cell lymphoma have not yet been given with CHOP, this study is looking at combining CHOP with ONTAK. ONTAK has been FDA approved for treatment of Cutaneous T cell Lymphoma and works by specifically binding to a protein on the surface of the tumor cells and killing the cell without causing damage to other types of cells in the body. Studies have shown that ONTAK has helped patients with PTCL who have failed chemotherapy.

Being tested
Ontak, CHOP (cyclophosphamide (C), adriamycin (H), vincristine (O), and prednisone (P)) chemotherapy

    ONTAK ( denileukin diftitox) is given at 18 mcg/kg/d (Days 1,2) plus CHOP therapy (Day 3) q 21 days x 6 cycles (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m²IV, doxorubicin 50 mg/m²IV day, vincristine 1.4 mg/m²IV day, and prednisone 100 mg q day PO days #3-7) plus, G-CSF support beginning on Day 4 to prevent neutropenia

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients That Achieved a Complete Response or a Partial Response (PR)

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: 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: After 4 years

  2. Number of Patients That Achieved a Complete Response (CR)

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: 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: After 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ontak and CHOP (cyclophosphamide (C), adriamycin (H), vincristine (O), and prednisone (P)) chemotherapy in people with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, run by Yale University 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 11 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 27 Feb 2015. 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 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 10 Feb 2015). 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?

Number of Patients That Achieved a Complete Response or a Partial Response (PR) (time frame: After 4 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Feb 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
