About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Bortezomib Plus ICE (BICE) Versus Standard ICE for Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy with or without bortezomib works in treating patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to prior treatment. 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, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bortezomib is designed to block a protein that plays a role in cell function and growth. Bortezomib may cause cancer cells to die. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy with or without bortezomib may work better in treating patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the objective response rate (ORR), partial remissions (PR), and complete remissions (CR) after 3 cycles of bortezomib plus ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) (BICE) versus ICE in patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).

II. To evaluate 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with 3 cycles of BICE versus ICE.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare positron emission tomography (PET) scan response after 3 cycles of BICE versus ICE chemotherapy.

II. To compare serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) proteins (a proliferation-inducing ligand [APRIL], B lymphocyte stimulator [BLyS], soluble [s]CD30, and CD40L) and CC thymus and activation-related cytokine (TARC) at baseline and after 3 cycles of BICE versus ICE chemotherapy.

III. To correlate baseline cytokine/chemokine levels with response to therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) over 5 seconds on days 1 and 4, ifosfamide IV continuously over 24 hours on day 1, carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1, and etoposide IV over 2 hours on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide as in Arm A. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response After 3 Cycles of Botezomib Plus ICE (BICE) Versus Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide (ICE) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Response rates for Bortezomib, Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide (BICE) and Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide (ICE) treatment groups were assessed by the 1999 International Working Group (IWG)(CT alone) (Cheson et al., 1999) and compared to 2007 IWG (CT plus PET) (Cheson et al., 2007) criteria. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: From baseline to 3 cycles of treatment

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 12 Months

    Progression free survival time is defined as the time interval from treatment start to progression or death due to any cause whichever happens first. Participants will be censored at the last follow-up date, if an event(progression/death) is not observed during the follow-up.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS) Rate at 24 Months

    Overall Survival is time from date of treatment start until date of death due to any cause or last Follow-up within 24 months.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. PET Scan Response After 3 Cycles of BICE Versus ICE Chemotherapy.

    Response rates for BICE and ICE treatment groups will be assessed by 1999 IWG (CT alone) (Cheson et al., 1999) and compared to 2007 IWG (CT plus PET) (Cheson et al., 2007) criteria.

    Measured: Baseline up to 1 year

  2. Serum Levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Proteins (APRIL, BLyS, sCD30, and CD40L) and CC Thymus and Activation-related Cytokine (TARC) at Baseline and After 3 Cycles of BICE Versus ICE Chemotherapy

    Measured: November 2009 and December 2010

  3. Baseline Cytokine/Chemokine Levels With Response to Therapy.

    Measured: 106 weeks/13 months/426 days

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib, Carboplatin and Etoposide in people with Recurrent Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma and Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 14 inclusion and 17 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 Apr 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Apr 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Response After 3 Cycles of Botezomib Plus ICE (BICE) Versus Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide (ICE) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (time frame: From baseline to 3 cycles of treatment). The study lists 3 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 20 Apr 2020.
