About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Investigating the Efficacy of VELCADE®, Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide and Decadron (VRCD Regimen) in Front-line Therapy of Patients With Low-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Overall response rate and Time to disease progression using this regimen in patients with low-grade B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II open label study that is looking at the VRCD combination regimen in patients with previously untreated low-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Treatment will start by combining oral dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide with intravenous VELCADE, rituximab. Chemotherapy cycles will be given as outlined below every 35-days and will continue until two cycles beyond complete remission (CR), toxicity, patient's withdrawal, disease progression, or a maximum of 8 cycles.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate Using This Regimen in Patients With Low-grade B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

    Percentage of complete responders plus percentage of partial responders equals overall response rate.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    The study was closed prematurely due to slow accrual. When the study closed only two patients had died, making the OS 83%.

    Measured: 4 years
