About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Rituximab Combined With ESHAP in Patients With Relapse or Refractory DLBCL

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of Rituximab combined with ESHAP (etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, and cisplatin) in the patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Read the detailed description

The salvage therapy in the patients with DLBCL is still controversial. The investigators conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Rituximab combined with ESHAP in the patients with DLBCL. The patients enrolled were defined to be relapsed or refractory after the first-line chemotherapy like CHOP or other CHOP-like regimens.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab combined with ESHAP in people with Lymphoma, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 20 Feb 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 China. 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?

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?

Response rate (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 20 Feb 2012.
