About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase III Study Comparing CHOP Versus CEOP-induced Cardiotoxicity in Patients With Aggressive B-cell Lymphoma

The aim of this study is to compare CHOP versus CEOP-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. The hypothesis is epirubicin is associated with less cardiotoxicity without compromising the efficacy.

Read the detailed description

The doxorucin-containing regimen (CHOP) and epirubicin-containing regimen (CEOP) are both frequently used in patients with aggress B-cell lymphoma in out institution. According to a Cochrane meta-analysis, epirubicin is less cardiotoxic than doxorubicin on a mg per mg basis. However, compared with 50mg/m2 of doxorubicin in CHOP, epirubicin was usually used at a higher dose (70mg/m2) to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Because of the correlation between cumulative dose and risk of cardiotoxicity, it is reasonable to speculate that CEOP (70mg/m2) has less cardiotoxicity than CHOP (50mg/m2) when both regimens are administered with similar cycles.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CEOP regimen and CHOP regimen in people with Lymphoma, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 20 Aug 2014. 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Cardiotoxicity (Class III or IV cardiotoxicity according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification or LVEF abnormality [< 50% or a decrease in absolute LVEF ≥ 10%) by post-treatment RNA]) (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 Aug 2014.
