Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant for Patients With Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, helps stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored for peripheral stem cell transplant. Giving more chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, carmustine, and etoposide, and total-body irradiation prepares the patient's bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. More radiation therapy is given after transplant to kill any remaining cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well autologous peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT).
  • Verify the safety and efficacy of autologous PBSCT in patients with HIV disease and relapsed lymphoma.

Secondary

  • Evaluate immune reconstitution in HIV-positive patients undergoing autologous PBSCT and compare to immune reconstitution in HIV-negative patients.
  • Predict the adequacy of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest prior to flow analysis of a PBSC yield.
  • Determine the time to engraftment for neutrophils and platelets.

OUTLINE:

  • Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization with filgrastim (G-CSF) alone: Patients not requiring further disease reduction receive G-CSF subcutaneously (SC) once daily on days 1-8. Patients undergo PBSC collection by leukapheresis on days 5-8. Patients who do not adequately mobilize with G-CSF alone proceed to chemo-mobilization.
  • Chemo-mobilization: Patients requiring further disease reduction receive 1 of 2 chemo-mobilization regimens.
  • Patients with CD20+ non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma: Patients receive rituximab intravenously (IV) over 6-8 hours on day 1, ifosfamide IV over 2 hours and etoposide IV over 30 minutes on days 2-4, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 2. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until leukapheresis is completed. Patients undergo PBSC collection by leukapheresis on days 12-15.
  • All other patients: Patients receive ifosfamide IV over 2 hours and etoposide IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 4 and continuing until leukapheresis is completed. Patients undergo PBSC collection by leukapheresis on days 12-15.
  • Autologous PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) (Patients with NHL undergoing irradiation): Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -7 and -6. Patients undergo total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily on days -4 to -1. Patients undergo autologous PBSCT on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Autologous PBSCT (Patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma or NHL not undergoing irradiation and cyclophosphamide): Patients receive camustine IV over 2 hours on days -6, etoposide IV over 2 hours twice daily on days -5 to -2, and melphalan over 1 hour on day -1. Patients undergo autologous PBSCT on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Autologous PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) (Patients with HL not undergoing irradiation): Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -6 to -3, camustine IV over 2 hours on day -6, and etoposide IV over 4 hours twice daily on days -6 to -4. Patients undergo autologous PBSCT on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Post-transplant irradiation: Patients undergo post-transplant irradiation beginning on day 28. Persisting nodal masses ≥ 2 cm are treated with additional localized external beam irradiation.
  • Post-transplant Rituximab therapy: patients with CD20+ NHL may undergo Rituximab maintenance starting between day +45 and +90 and being repeated at day +180 ± 14 days.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carmustine, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in people with Lymphoma, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 23 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 14 Jul 2020. 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 14 Jul 2020). 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 Participants With 1 Year Progression Free Survival (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 4 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 14 Jul 2020.
