About this study

Official title: Phase-I Study of Bortezomib (VELCADE) Plus ICE (Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide) for Patients With Relapsed Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Primary Objectives:

  1. To determine the toxicity profile of multiple doses of bortezomib when given with ICE in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
  2. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib when given in combination with ICE chemotherapy in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).

Secondary Objectives:

  • To determine the overall response rate and complete response rate in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
Read the detailed description

Bortezomib is designed to block a protein that plays a role in cell function and growth, which may cause cancer cells to die.

ICE is a combination of chemotherapy drugs that, together, may work more effectively at causing cancer cells to die by stopping cells from dividing.

Mesna is a drug that protects bladder cells from damage by the chemotherapy drug ifosfamide. It is used to decrease the risk of bleeding in the bladder.

Before you can start taking the drugs on this study, you will have "screening tests." These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in this study. These tests may be performed within 28 days of starting the study drugs. If you have had some of these exams, tests, or procedures performed recently, they may not need to be repeated. This will be for your study doctor to decide. You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and breathing rate), height, and weight. You will have x-rays and a bone marrow biopsy to check the status of the disease. To collect a bone marrow biopsy, an area of the hip or chest bone is numbed with anesthetic, and a small amount of bone marrow and bone is withdrawn through a large needle. You will have a computed tomography (CT) scan of your abdomen, chest, and pelvis and a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Blood (about 2-3 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood (about 1 teaspoon) pregnancy test within 1 month before starting therapy on this study. Because taking part in this study requires that participants' ability to fight off infections be normal, you will have blood drawn (about 1-2 tablespoons) to be tested for HIV within 6 months before starting therapy on this study. If your HIV test results are found to be positive, you will not be able to take part in this study.

All participants will receive bortezomib as a fixed dose, which will not change unless any intolerable side effects occur. At the start of this study, 3 participants will be given a dose of bortezomib. If this dose does not cause intolerable side effects, the dose will be increased as new participants take part in this study. There will be a total of 3 groups (with 3-6 participants per group) entered at increasing dose levels. The dose of bortezomib you receive will depend on when you join this study.

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive bortezomib plus ICE by vein. You will receive bortezomib, on Days 1 and 4, over 5 seconds. The ICE regimen will be given as a continuous infusion over different times as follows. On Day 1, you will receive ifosfamide and mesna over 24 hours. On Day 2, you will receive mesna over 12 hours and carboplatin over 1 hour. On Days 1-3, you will receive etoposide over 2 hours. This schedule for bortezomib plus ICE is considered 1 cycle (2 weeks) and will be repeated every 14 days.

You may have 3-6 cycles of the study drugs, depending on your tolerance of the drugs and the status of the disease. If the disease gets worse or you experience any intolerable side effects, you will be taken off this study.

Blood (about 2-3 tablespoons) will be drawn once a week for routine tests. You will have a study visit before the start of each 2-week cycle. During these visits, you will have a brief questionnaire that will ask about specific side effects you might be experiencing. It should take about 5 minutes to complete this questionnaire.

After completing 3 cycles, you will return for CT scans, bone marrow biopsies (if they were positive for disease before you began on this study), and a PET scan to check the status of the disease.

After completing 3 cycles (if the disease did not worsen and intolerable side effects did not occur), you may continue on this study for 3 more cycles. During Cycles 4-6, you will have the same scans and blood tests as mentioned above.

After completing this study, for every 3-4 months on an indefinite basis, you will have follow-up visits. During these visits, you will have blood drawn (about 2-3 tablespoons) for routine tests. You will also have the same scans that were performed during the screening visit.

This is an investigational study. Bortezomib and ICE are FDA approved and commercially available. The combination of bortezomib plus ICE is considered investigational and authorized for use in research only.

Up to 18 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) of Bortezomib when given in combination with ICE chemotherapy in participants with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)

    MTD dose escalation stops either at the highest indicated dose of bortezomib (1.5 mg/m2), or when a Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) has been observed in at least one third of the patients at any dose level.

    Measured: Two-week cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bortezomib, Carboplatin and Etoposide in people with Hodgkin Lymphoma and Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 9 Jul 2012. 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?

Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) of Bortezomib when given in combination with ICE chemotherapy in participants with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (time frame: Two-week cycle). 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 9 Jul 2012.
