  • mitoxantroneDrug

    Also called Novantrone

    Novantrone 10 mg/m2on Day 1. The order of administration will be:

    Gemzar-->Novantrone-->Rituxan.

  • rituximabDrug

    Also called Rituxan

    Rituxan 375 mg/m2 on Day 1. The order of administration will be:

    Gemzar-->Novantrone-->Rituxan.

Study groups in NCT00656084
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental armExperimentalPatients will be treated a maximum of 8 cycles or until the patient has evidence of a response, progressive disease, or until intolerable toxicity develops. Patients with a complete response will receive an additional 2 cycles of treatment (not to exceed 8 cycles). Drug order is gemcitabine, mitoxantrone, and rituximab.
Receives: Drug: gemcitabine; Drug: mitoxantrone; Drug: rituximab

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (CR + PR)

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of response is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.

    CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 33 months.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) Rate at 1 Year

    OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date.

    Measured: 1 year.

  3. Progression-free Survival Rate at 1 Year.

    PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date.

    Measured: 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine, mitoxantrone and rituximab in people with Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), run by US Oncology Research.

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 13 inclusion and 11 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 3 Nov 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Nov 2016). 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?

Objective Response Rate (CR + PR) (time frame: 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 3 Nov 2016.
