What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) in Participants With Resistant Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) Treated With Oral Panobinostat by Using the Modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response (OR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on mSWAT score, (OR = CR + PR). mSWAT score represents the product of the percentage total body surface area (%TBSA) involvement of each lesion type (patch, plaque, and tumor or ulceration), multiplied by a weighting factor: modified SWAT score = (patch %TBSA x 1) + (plaque %TBSA x 2) + (tumor or ulcer %TBSA x 4). The sum of these 3 numbers gave the modified SWAT score, on a 0 (no lesions) to 400 (lesions covering all areas) scale. CR based on mSWAT score was defined as the absence of skin disease. PR was defined as ≥ 50% decrease of the modified SWAT score compared to the Baseline score.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Response Rate of Participants With Refractory CTCL Using the Physician's Global Assessment of Clinical Condition (PGA)

    Response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR based on PGA scale. PGA is a 7-point grading scale for the investigator's assessment of the overall extent of improvement or worsening of the participant's disease as compared to Baseline. CR corresponds to Grade 0 (Completely clear) on PGA scale and was defined as no evidence of disease; 100% improvement. PR corresponds to Grade 2 (marked improvement) on PGA scale and was defined as significant improvement (≥75% - <90%); some evidence of disease remains.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

  2. Response Rate in Participants With Refractory CTCL Using Modified Skin Score

    Response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR based on mSWAT skin score. mSWAT score represents the product of the %TBSA involvement of each lesion type (patch, plaque, and tumor or ulceration), multiplied by a weighting factor: mSWAT score = (patch %TBSA x 1) + (plaque %TBSA x 2) + (tumor or ulcer %TBSA x 4). The sum of these 3 numbers gave the modified SWAT score, on a 0 (no lesions) to 400 (lesions covering all areas) scale. CR based on mSWAT score was defined as the absence of skin disease. PR was defined as ≥ 50% decrease of the modified SWAT score compared to the Baseline score.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

  3. Responses in Index Lesions in Participants With Refractory CTCL by Lesion Measurements With Photographic Supporting Documentation

    Index lesions in each participant were selected as four to six of the prominent lesions amenable to bi-dimensional measurements. The longest diameter and its perpendicular measurement were used to determine the surface area and a weighted sum was determined as: Lesion 1 + lesion 2 + … + lesions 6 = Total sum of weighted score where Lesion 1: cm^2 x [1 (for patch); 2 (for plaque); 4 (for tumor or ulcer)]; Lesion 2: cm^2 x [1 (for patch); 2 (for plaque); 4 (for tumor or ulcer)]; Lesion 6: cm^2 x [1 (for patch); 2 (for plaque); 4 (for tumor or ulcer)]. These lesions were photographed at Baseline and at the time of response determined by either mSWAT or PGA

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death (up to approximately 2 years)

  4. ORR of Participants With Resistant CTCL Treated With Oral Panobinostat by Using the Modified PGA to Assess Skin Disease and the Evaluation of Disease in the Viscera, Lymph Nodes and Blood (Circulating Sézary Syndrome Cells)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with best OR of CR or PR based on PGA scale (OR = CR + PR). The PGA is a 7-point grading scale for the investigator's assessment of the overall extent of improvement or worsening of the participant's disease as compared to Baseline. CR corresponds to Grade 0 (completely clear) of PGA scale and was defined as no evidence of disease; 100% improvement. PR corresponds to Grade 2 (marked improvement) of PGA scale and was defined as significant improvement (≥75%-<90%); some evidence of disease remains.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

  5. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until the earliest date of documented progression or death due to any cause among participants who achieved a confirmed CR or PR. The DOR was calculated in two ways. The DOR among responders only included participants who responded to the drug. The overall DOR included non-responders as having a DOR of zero days.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

  6. Time to Response (TTR)

    TTR was defined as the time from the start of treatment until the first documented evidence of CR or PR among participants who achieved a confirmed CR or PR.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to study completion (approximately 2 years)

  7. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the start of treatment until the earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause, if sooner.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panobinostat in people with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 18 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 18 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 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 18 Jun 2021). 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?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) in Participants With Resistant Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) Treated With Oral Panobinostat by Using the Modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT) (time frame: From first dose of study drug up to disease progression or death, (up to approximately 2 years)). 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 18 Aug 2021.
