About this study

Official title: An Open-label Phase 2 Study of Intravenous Bortezomib and Oral Panobinostat (LBH589) in Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma or NK/T-cell Lymphoma After Failure of Conventional Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous Bortezomib combined with oral Panobinostat (LBH589) are effective in treating adult patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma or NK/T-cell lymphoma after the failure of conventional chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and NK/T-cell lymphoma are uncommon diseases that are prevalent in Asia. They are associated with poor prognosis when treated with conventional chemotherapeutic regimes. Their long term disease-free survivals are dismal with only 10-30% of patients surviving long term. More intensive regimens including high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant have been tried as primary induction treatment, but have not been shown to be beneficial. Given the rarity of PTCL and NK/T-cell lymphoma, much of the literature consists of studies with small sample size and anecdotal case reports. Therefore, no consensus exists on the best therapeutic strategy for either newly diagnosed or relapsed disease. The failure of conventional chemotherapy in this regard suggests that novel therapies including epigenetic approaches and proteasome inhibition should be explored.

Preclinical data of bortezomib and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) in T-cell and NK/T-cell lymphoma cell lines are encouraging. Bortezomib and HDIs have also separately demonstrated activity in T and NK/T-cell lymphomas in phase II studies, leading to their separate developments in phase III studies. Demonstration of synergism in these 2 agents, in part due to their dependence on overlapping pathways, suggests that they should be explored as a combination, especially when treating a disease with a very unfavourable outcome. The purpose of this phase II study is to assess the efficacy of orally-administered panobinostat, a potent class I/II pan-deacetylase inhibitor with intravenous bortezomib in this patient population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing panobinostat and bortezomib in people with Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (Not Otherwise Specified) and Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma, run by Singapore General Hospital at 5 sites in 3 countries.

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 28 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 27 Jun 2014. 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 Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea. 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?

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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00901147, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2014.
