About this study

Official title: Lenalidomide, Bendamustine and Rituximab as First-line Therapy for Patients Over 65 Years With Mantle Cell Lymphoma - a Nordic Lymphoma Group Trial

In phase I: Establishing maximally tolerated dose of lenalidomide in combination with bendamustine and rituximab.

In phase II: Evaluation of progression free survival with treatment with lenalidomide, bendamustine and rituximab

Read the detailed description

This trial consists of both a phase I portion and a phase II portion. In phase I, the MTD of lenalidomide is determined, starting with 5 mg/day given up to maximally 25 mg/day. In combination with this treatment, bendamustine and rituximab are given at fixed doses.

The phase I portion follows a sequential dose escalation, 3+3 design. Initially, three subjects are started treatment with dose regimen 1 (5 mg/day). After the third subject completed two cycles of treatment, if no DLT has occured, the next group of three subjects are treated at the next dose level of lenalidomide (10 mg/day). If one of the three initial subjects experiences a DLT, the cohort is expanded to six subjects. If less than two out of the six subjects experiences a DLT, then the next higher dose group is initiated. If two or more subjects experiences a DLT, no higher dose levels will be tested and the MTD dose has been exceeded.

Additional subjects are enrolled at the MTD on the phase II portion of the trial.

The above described treatment with lenalidomide, bendamustine and rituximab are given in 6 cycles, cycle length 22 days. Lenalidomide is given day 1-21, bendamustine day 1-2 and rituximab day 1. During the following maintenance treatment, single treatment with lenalidomide will be given with the same dose of lenalidomide (25 mg/day) for 7 cycles, whether in phase I or phase II portion of the trial.

What participants receive

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

  • lenalidomide, bendamustine, rituximabDrug

    Phase I: Maximally tolerable dose of lenalidomide will be determined, starting with 5 mg per day, and up to maximally 25 mg per day. This treatment is given in combination with bendamustine and rituximab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing lenalidomide, bendamustine, rituximab in people with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, run by Lund University Hospital at 17 sites in 4 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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland. 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 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?

MTD of lenalidomide (phase I) Progression free survival (phase II) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00963534, 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 12 Mar 2018.
