About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study of the Effect of the Addition of MabThera to Standard Chemotherapy on Clinical Response in Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

This single arm study will evaluate the benefit of adding MabThera to standard induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. The safety and tolerability of a MabThera-containing first line regimen will also be assessed. All patients will receive MabThera (375mg/m2 iv) every 3 weeks for 8 cycles, in combination with standard chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

Being tested
rituximab [MabThera/Rituxan], First line chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Achieving Complete Remission (CR) (Including Unconfirmed CR [CR(u)]) or Partial Remission (PR)

    CR was defined by: a) disappearance of clinical/radiographic evidence of disease, disease-related symptoms, and biochemical abnormalities; b) decrease in lymph nodes (LNs) greater than (>) 1.5 centimeters (cm) in greatest transverse diameter (GTD) to less than (<) 1.5 cm, a decrease in LNs 1.1 - 1.5 cm to 1 cm or 75 percent (%) decrease in sum of the products of GTD (SPD); c) non-palpable spleen, decreased size of enlarged organs, and disappearance of nodules; and d) disappearance of bone marrow (BM) infiltrate. CR(u) was defined as fulfilling a) and c), above, with greater than or equal to (≥) 1 of the following: a) > 75% decrease in SPD of LNs > 1.5 cm, and > 75% decrease in SPD of previously confluent LNs; b) indeterminate BM, or c) confirmed CR. PR was defined by: a) 50% decrease in SPD of the 6 largest LNs; b) no increase in LNs, liver, or spleen size; c) ≥ 50% decrease in splenic and hepatic nodule SPDs; d) no measurable disease in other organs; and e) no new sites of disease.

    Measured: Screening, Baseline (BL), every 21 days thereafter up to Week 27, every 3 months thereafter up to Month 24, Withdrawal Visit (4 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the median time, in months, from the date of study entry to disease progression, death due to mantle cell lymphoma, or last contact. Progressive disease (PD) was defined by: a) 50% increase from nadir in the SPD of any previously identified abnormal LN, or b) appearance of any new lesion during or at the end of treatment. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

    Measured: Screening, BL, every 21 days thereafter up to Week 27, every 3 months thereafter up to Month 24, Withdrawal Visit (4 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment)

  2. Event Free Survival (EFS)

    EFS was defined as the median time, in months, from the date of study entry disease progression, relapse, secondary malignancy, death or last contact. Relapse was defined by: a) appearance of any new lesion or a ≥ 50% increase in size of previously involved sites, or b) ≥ 50% increase in GTD of any previously identified LN >1 cm in short axis or in the SPD of more than one LN. The 95% CI was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

    Measured: Screening, BL, every 21 days thereafter up to Week 27, every 3 months thereafter up to Month 24, Withdrawal Visit (4 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rituximab [MabThera/Rituxan] and First line chemotherapy in people with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 7 sites in Hungary.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 15 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Hungary. 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 26 Nov 2014). 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 Achieving Complete Remission (CR) (Including Unconfirmed CR [CR(u)]) or Partial Remission (PR) (time frame: Screening, Baseline (BL), every 21 days thereafter up to Week 27, every 3 months thereafter up to Month 24, Withdrawal Visit (4 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment)). 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 15 Aug 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
