About this study

Official title: Intensive Induction Therapy Followed by Early High Dose Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplantation for Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Patients with mantle cell lymphoma have a grave prognosis. They usually have an initial response to therapy, however progress early in the course of the disease and have very poor survival. We hypothesize that the emergence of drug resistance is responsible for this early failure of therapy and therefore intensive therapy at induction followed by high dose therapy immediately may produce a better outcome.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will undergo an induction regimen consisting of 1 cycle of cytarabine (3 gm/m2 Intravenously over 1 hour every 12 hours for 8 total doses) and mitoxantrone (10 mg/m2/d intravenously [IV] over 30 minutes daily on days 1, 2, and 3). This will be combined with Alemtuzumab (anti-CD52 antibody) for 6-8 weeks. If, after this one cycle, subjects have not had progression of disease as noted on physical exam or radiographic scans, they will proceed to stem cell mobilization with cyclophosphamide. This will be immediately followed by high dose therapy with stem cell support. Following count recovery, rituximab will be used for 8 total doses as consolidation therapy. Involved field irradiation may be given post-transplant to those with localized bulky disease as well. Day -6: Carmustine (BCNU): 15 mg/kg (or 550 mg/m2) IV over 2 hrs. Day -4: Etoposide Day -2: Cyclophosphamide 100 mg/kg in 1 liter D5W over 2 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Free Survival (DFS)

    Number of patients who did not have documented recurrence for at 1 year after bone marrow transplantation.

    We would like to detect an improvement over 0.25 in DFS at one year. Thirty (30) patients will be accrued and complete the transplant phase of therapy. We anticipate only 50% of patients enrolling to complete transplant, noting that approximately 60 patients total will need to be accrued. With 30 patients we can detect an improvement as small as 17% in magnitude, i.e., from an assumed 1-year DFS of 25% to a 1-year DFS of 42% with approximately 80% power. This is based on a one-sided test of hypothesis, testing at significance level 0.05 and the assumption that the true underlying 1-year DFS is 0.25. Greater differences in DFS are expected. If the 1-year DFS with the new treatment is greater than 42% the power is increased.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The number of patients who did not have disease progression, recurrence or die for 1 year after bone marrow transplantation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response to the induction regimen

    Number of patients who respond to transplant. Complete Response (CR): No measurable disease. Remission must last for more than 4 weeks.

    Complete Response with Residual Abnormality: CR with persistent mass in the mediastinum or abdomen that has regressed >50% following therapy and then stabilized with NO change over the rest of therapy.

    Partial Response (PR): Reduction of >50% in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions lasting more than 4 weeks. Disappearance of constitutional symptoms must occur. >30% reduction in extension of the liver below the costal margin at the midclavicular line and the xiphoid process and normalization of liver function tests.

    Stable Disease (SD): < 50% decrease or < 25% increase in the sum of the perpendicular diameters of measurable lesions and no new lesions.

    Progressive Disease (PD): >= 25% increase in the product of the perpendicular diameters of any lesion or new areas of malignant disease.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Response to the transplant phase of therapy

    Number of patients who respond to transplant. Complete Response (CR): No measurable disease. Remission must last for more than 4 weeks.

    Complete Response with Residual Abnormality: CR with persistent mass in the mediastinum or abdomen that has regressed >50% following therapy and then stabilized with NO change over the rest of therapy.

    Partial Response (PR): Reduction of >50% in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions lasting more than 4 weeks. Disappearance of constitutional symptoms must occur. >30% reduction in extension of the liver below the costal margin at the midclavicular line and the xiphoid process and normalization of liver function tests.

    Stable Disease (SD): < 50% decrease or < 25% increase in the sum of the perpendicular diameters of measurable lesions and no new lesions.

    Progressive Disease (PD): >= 25% increase in the product of the perpendicular diameters of any lesion or new areas of malignant disease.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Toxicity of the trial

    Number of grade 3 or higher events related to study treatment. Toxicities were assessed using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 2.0.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Number of years patients survived after bone marrow transplantation

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intensive Induction-BMT in people with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, run by Duke University.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 18 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Disease Free Survival (DFS) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 18 Jul 2014.
