About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of RCVELP as First Line Therapy for Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and prednisone may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and prednisone works as first-line therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE:

  • Induction therapy: Patients receive rituximab IV and cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on day 1, bortezomib IV on days 1 and 8, and oral prednisone once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then proceed to maintenance therapy.
  • Maintenance therapy: Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 6 months for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate, According to the International Workshop Criteria (IWC) for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)

    Rate of overall response (CR, CRu, PR) to protocol therapy according to International Workshop Criteria (IWC):

    • Complete Response (CR) includes complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities definitely assignable to NHL;
    • Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRu) includes above CR criteria but a residual lymph node mass greater than 1.5 cm in greatest transverse diameter that has regressed by more than 75% in the sum of the product of the perpendicular diameters (SPD), or indeterminate bone marrow;
    • Partial Response (PR) includes >= 50% decrease in SPD of the six largest dominant nodes or nodal masses, no increase in size of other nodes, liver or spleen.

    Measured: Post cycles 2,4,6,8 and then every 3 months, about 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free-survival will be assessed according to according to the International Workshop Criteria (IWC). Progression-free survival will be measured as the time from date of enrollment to relapse, progression or death due to follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), whichever occurs first. Participants who do not experience relapse or progression, and those who die from causes other than cancer, will be censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) will be measured as the time from date of enrollment to death from any cause. For patients who remain alive, survival time will be censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Rate of Toxicity in Study Participants

    Safety and tolerance to protocol therapy as evidenced by the rate of toxicity (serious adverse events and study-related adverse events) in study participants

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rituximab, Bortezomib and Cyclophosphamide in people with Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma, run by University of Miami 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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2013). 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?

Overall Response Rate, According to the International Workshop Criteria (IWC) for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) (time frame: Post cycles 2,4,6,8 and then every 3 months, about 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 11 Dec 2017.
