About this study

Official title: Phase II Study to Establish Gene Expression Models Predicting Survival of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients Treated With R-CHOP

The investigators hypothesize that survival of newly diagnosed DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) patients treated with R-CHOP can be predicted by RNA or protein gene expression or by presence of biomarkers associated with the anti-tumor effects of Rituximab.

Read the detailed description

In this phase II multi-institutional trial, the investigators will identify genes associated with either good or bad outcome in DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP, will construct a robust predictive models based on RNA extracted from or paraffin specimens as well on immunohistochemistry and will examine the predictive power of new biomarkers associated with the anti-tumor effects of rituximab. The acquisition of fixed tissue as a component of this uniformly treated prospective study will also afford future studies with this informative dataset.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of a List of Genes and Construction of Survival Prediction Models That Will Predict Overall Survival at 30 Months in DLBCL Patients Receiving R-CHOP Therapy.

    The investigators aim to determine a list of genes and construct survival prediction model(s) that will predict the overall survival at 30 months in DLBCL patients prospectively treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy. Overall survival time will be calculated from the date of the diagnosis until death or last follow-up examination.

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Usefulness of Biomarkers Associated With Anti-Tumor Effects of Rituximab in Predicting Overall Survival in DLBCL Patients Receiving R-CHOP Therapy

    The investigators aim to determine the usefulness of biomarkers associated with the antitumor effects of rituximab (e.g. immunoglobulin GFc receptor genotypes, CD20 protein expression and gene expression profiles) to predict overall survival of DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP therapy and followed for at least 24 months or until death.

    Measured: 24 Months

  3. Comparison of the Ability of Constructed Survival Models to Predict Overall Survival in DLBCL Patients Receiving R-CHOP Therapy

    The investigators will compare the ability of constructed survival models to predict survival in DLBCL patients receiving R-CHOP therapy

    Measured: 2 Years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determination of the Ability of Models and/or Biomarkers Associated With Anti-Tumor Effects of Rituximab to Predict 24-month Time to Treatment Failure in DLBCL Patients Receiving R-CHOP Therapy

    The investigators aim to determine the ability of the models and/or biomarkers associated with the anti-tumor effects of rituximab to predict 24-month time to treatment failure, defined as disease progression, death or initiation of new treatment.

    Measured: 24 Months

  2. Overall Response Rate of Study Participants at the End of Protocol Therapy

    Rate of participants achieving complete response (CR), complete response/unconfirmed (CRu) partial response (PR) according to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma response criteria.

    Measured: Up to 8 cycles, about 24 weeks

  3. Number of Participants From Whom Fixed Tissue Samples Were Collected for Future Studies.

    Number of participants from whom paraffin-embedded DLBCL tissue samples were collected for future studies.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin in people with Lymphoma, run by University of Miami at 5 sites 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 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 23 Jun 2017). 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?

Determination of a List of Genes and Construction of Survival Prediction Models That Will Predict Overall Survival at 30 Months in DLBCL Patients Receiving R-CHOP Therapy. (time frame: 30 months). The study lists 3 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 23 Jun 2017.
