Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell 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 cell-killing substances to them. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Methylselenocysteine (MSC) in Combination With Immunochemotherapy (R-ICE) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell 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 cell-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine when given together with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide and to see how well it works in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess dose-limiting toxicity and maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of Se-methyl-seleno-L-cysteine (MSC) (to achieve a trough serum selenium [Se] concentration of > 20 μmol/L) prior to and in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (R-ICE) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. (Phase I)
  • To determine the overall response rate to R-ICE given in addition to MSC at the MTD in these patients. (Phase II)

Secondary

  • To determine the toxicity of R-ICE when used in combination with MSC in these patients.
  • To determine the effect of MSC dosing on serum and intracellular Se and Se species in these patients.
  • To determine the pharmacokinetics of MSC after single and multiple daily dosing in these patients.
  • To investigate the effect of MSC dosing on Se-dependent processes (e.g., NFκB activity and AKT).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of Se-methyl-seleno-L-cysteine (MSC) followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1, carboplatin IV on day 2, ifosfamide IV and etoposide IV on days 2-4 (R-ICE), and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously on days 6-13. Patients also receive oral MSC twice daily on days -7 to 0 and once daily in courses 1-2. Treatment with R-ICE and G-CSF repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood samples are collected periodically and analyzed for pharmacokinetics and protein markers.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed monthly for 3 months.

This study is peer reviewed and funded or endorsed by cancer research UK.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of Se-methyl-seleno-L-cysteine (MSC) (Phase I)

  2. Overall response rate (Phase II)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE v 3.0

  2. Serum and intracellular Se and Se species

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing filgrastim, rituximab and Se-methyl-seleno-L-cysteine in people with Lymphoma, run by Cancer Research UK at 5 sites in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United Kingdom. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of Se-methyl-seleno-L-cysteine (MSC) (Phase I). The study lists 2 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 26 Aug 2013.
