About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Lenalidomide in Previously Untreated, Symptomatic Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

This study will assess the

  • efficacy (response rate) of oral lenalidomide in the treatment of patients with symptomatic, previously untreated, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL),
  • toxicity of lenalidomide in patients with CLL as well as time to progression, stable disease duration and, if responses are observed, response duration.
Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, nonrandomized, single institution study in symptomatic, previously untreated CLL patients. Subjects will receive the study drug, lenalidomide, starting at 2.5 mg daily x 3 weeks (days 1-21) and escalating up to a target dose of 10 mg daily X 3 weeks (days 1-21) followed by 1 week off therapy (days 22-28) on a 28 day cycle. Although a maximal dose of 10 mg daily (days 1-21) will be targeted, if a patient is felt by the investigator to be benefiting from doses less than the target dose (i.e. 2.5 mg or 5 mg daily), the investigator may at his discretion choose to hold the patient at that dose without further escalation. For those patients who have progressive disease after cycle 3, further dose escalations as assessed by response and toxicity at the end of each escalated dose cycle to a maximum of 25 mg (days 1-21) will be allowed. Patients will be treated with lenalidomide until disease progression or 2 cycles past CR. (no maximum of cycles).

What is being measured

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

  1. To Assess the Efficacy (Response Rate) of Oral Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Patients With Symptomatic, Previously Untreated, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

    The primary endpoint was objective response to lenalidomide (Complete response +Partial response) evaluated as per the revised 1996 National Cancer Institute Working Group Guidelines.

    Complete response: absence of lymphadenopathy and organomegaly by physical exam and radiology, absence of constitutional symptoms, normal CBC. Bone marrow to be done 2 months after the above criteria are met, must be normocellular, with <30% lymphocytes.

    Partial Response: ≥ 50% decrease in the peripheral blood lymphocytes from pre-treatment value, ≥ 50% reduction in lymphadenopathy and organomegaly by physical exam or on CT scan. one or more of the following: neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x109/L, platelets > 100 x109/L or 50% improvement over baseline, hemoglobin > 110 g/L or 50% improvement over baseline (without transfusion).

    Measured: Patients will be treated with lenalidomide until disease progression or 2 cycles past CR (no maximum of cycles). Participants were followed upto 53.2 months for the final data analysis.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS).

    Assess the time to disease progression and overall survival. (Progressive disease is defined as at least one of the following: more than or equal to 50% increase in the sum of the products of the greatest diameters of at least 2 lymph nodes on 2 consecutive determinations 2 weeks apart (at least one node must be ≥ 2 cm) or new palpable lymph nodes, more than or equal to 50% increase in the size of the liver and/or spleen as determined by measurement below the costal margin or appearance of palpable hepatomegaly or splenomegaly not previously present, more than or equal to 50% increase in the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes to at least 5.0 x109/L, OR transformation to a more aggressive histology (e.g. Richter's syndrome or prolymphocytic leukemia with >55% prolymphocytes)).

    Measured: Patients will be treated with lenalidomide until disease progression or 2 cycles past CR (no maximum of cycles). Participants were followed upto 53.2 months for the final data analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 19 inclusion and 12 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 16 Jun 2016. 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 Canada. 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 12 May 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?

To Assess the Efficacy (Response Rate) of Oral Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Patients With Symptomatic, Previously Untreated, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) (time frame: Patients will be treated with lenalidomide until disease progression or 2 cycles past CR (no maximum of cycles). Participants were followed upto 53.2 months for the final data analysis.). 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 16 Jun 2016.
