About this study

Official title: A Phase II Open Label, Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel Study Comparing the Efficacy of R-mabHD Alone and a Combination of Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine (ABVD)in Treating Patients With Hodgkin's Disease.

120 subjects with Hodgkin's disease will be randomly divided into two groups: Group I receiving R-mabHD and Group II receiving a combination of Adriamycin,Bleomycin,Vinblastine and Dacarbazine. R-mabHD will be given once a week for eight weeks in a row. The ABVD combination will be given once every other week for 12 treatments. The hypothesis is that intervention with R-mabHD will lead to a quicker remission of Hodgkin's disease than the intervention with a combination of ABVD.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of R-mabHD with a combination therapy of Adriamycin, Bleomycin,Vinblastine and Dacarbazine (ABVD) in bringing about remission of Hodgkin's lymphoma and reduction in tumor size.

Primary Study Endpoint: Primary efficacy criterion is percentage of patients achieving a functional score of 1.

Efficacy evaluation is based on assessment of functional score. At the end of six months, a functional assessment of the tumor will be undertaken to record the score as follows:

Score 1: >/= 50% reduction in size of tumor Score 2: < 50% reduction in size of tumor.

Secondary Study Endpoint: Additional secondary endpoint is the average time to achieve 50% reduction in size of tumor.

120 subjects with Hodgkin's Disease will be divided randomly into two groups. 60 subjects (Group I)will receive R-mabHD by intravenous infusion in a dose of 375mg/m2 once a week for eight weeks in a row. The other half (Group II) will receive a combination of intravenous Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine every other week for 12 treatments. Enrollment period will be three years and subjects from both genders will be accepted. Subjects should be between the ages of 18 and 65. No healthy volunteers will be accepted. Females who are nursing babies or are pregnant will be excluded from the study. Subjects will be evaluated every month for the first six months and then at one year and then at eighteen months after the baseline visit one.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • R-mabHDDrug

    An intravenous infusion containing R-mabHD 375mg/m2 will be administered over a period of 3 to 8 hours every week for eight weeks in a row.

  • ABVDDrug

    Also called Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine

    A combination of Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine (ABVD) will be given intravenously over a period of 3 hours every other week for 12 treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. There will be a reduction in the size of the tumor after initiating treatment.

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. There will be an improvement in the general condition of the patient and it will be possible to estimate the event free survival rate.

    Measured: Eighteen months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing R-mabHD and ABVD in people with Hodgkin's Disease, run by American Scitech International 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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

There will be a reduction in the size of the tumor after initiating treatment. (time frame: Six months). 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 20 Jul 2011.
