About this study

Official title: A Study of Lenalidomide in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Residual Disease After Chemotherapy - RV-CLL-PI-0270

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Revlimid (lenalidomide) can help to reduce the level of leukemia in your body. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

The Study Drug:

Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system and may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may decrease or prevent the growth of cancer cells.

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take lenalidomide by mouth every night each day for up to 12 months. You should swallow lenalidomide capsules whole, with water, at the same time each day. Do not break, chew, or open the capsules. If you miss a dose of lenalidomide, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If you miss a dose, it should not be made up on another day.

The dose and schedule of lenalidomide may be changed, depending on the side effects you may experience.

Study Visits:

Once a week during the first 4 weeks, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests. Blood may be drawn more often if the dose of lenalidomide needs to be changed or if you experience side effects.

After the first 4 weeks, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests every 2 weeks until the doctor thinks your dose of lenalidomide will not change. After this, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will then be drawn every 4 weeks for routine tests.

On Month 4 and 12 (+14 days), you will have a physical exam and blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn to check the status of the disease.

On Month 4 and 12 (+14 days), and then every 3 months after that (unless your study doctor does not think it is necessary), you will have a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate to check the status of the disease.

Length of Study:

You will continue receiving the study drug for up to 12 months. You will continue having study visits for as long as the disease remains stable. You will be taken off study early if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement in Quality of Remission: Number of Participants With Response Versus No Response by NCI Working Group Criteria Disease Status Change at Start/End of Lenalidomide Consolidation

    To evaluate ability of lenalidomide to improve quality of remission (e.g. from partial remission (PR) to complete remission (CR)), disease status assessed at start \& end of Lenalidomide consolidation. NCI Working Group Response Criteria: Participants who began therapy in PR, improvement of status to nodular partial remission (nPR) or CR; Participants in nPR (otherwise CR, bone marrow nodules identified histologically), improvement of status to CR. Participants in CR, resolution of measurable disease in blood \&/or bone marrow per immuno flow cytometry or PCR testing. Progressive Disease (PD): One or more of following: >50% increase in sum of products of =/>2 lymph nodes on 2 consecutive examinations; One+ node must be >2 cm or appearance of new enlarged lymph nodes; >50% increase in liver \&/or spleen as determined by physical examination/appearance of splenomegaly not previously present; >50% increase in circulating lymphocytes with absolute count >10,000.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 Months, Disease status assessed at Start/End of Lenalidomide Consolidation

  2. Response Assessments: Disease Status at the End of Lenalidomide Consolidation Per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) Response Criteria

    Complete remission (CR), requiring absence of peripheral blood clonal lymphocytes by immunophenotyping, absence of lymphadenopathy, absence of hepatomegaly or splenomegaly, absence of constitutional symptoms and satisfactory blood counts; positive or negative minimal residual disease (MRD); Partial remission (PR), defined as ≥ 50% fall in lymphocyte count, ≥ 50% reduction in lymphadenopathy or ≥ 50% reduction in liver or spleen, together with improvement in peripheral blood counts; Nodular Partial Remission (nPR) is CR with bone marrow nodules identified histologically. Progressive disease (PD), defined as ≥ 50% rise in lymphocyte count to > 5 x109/L, ≥ 50% increase in lymphadenopathy, ≥ 50% increase in liver or spleen size, Richter's transformation, or new cytopenias due to CLL; Stable disease, defined as not meeting criteria for CR, PR or PD.

    Measured: 12 Months, Disease status assessed at the End of Lenalidomide Consolidation

  3. Time to Progression

    Time from the start of study drug therapy to the first documentation of disease progression. Progressive disease characterized by at least one of the following: >50% increase in the sum of products of at least 2 lymph nodes on 2 consecutive examinations. At least one node larger than 2 cm. Or, appearance of new enlarged lymph nodes. >50% increase in size of liver and/or spleen as determined by physical examination or appearance of splenomegaly which was not previously present. >50% increase in number of circulating lymphocytes with absolute count of at least 10,000.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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 10 inclusion and 8 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 10 Feb 2020. 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 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 10 Feb 2020). 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?

Improvement in Quality of Remission: Number of Participants With Response Versus No Response by NCI Working Group Criteria Disease Status Change at Start/End of Lenalidomide Consolidation (time frame: Baseline to 12 Months, Disease status assessed at Start/End of Lenalidomide Consolidation). 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 10 Feb 2020.
